Interesting that Smalling who apparantly was in a knee brace last week is preferred to Jones who injured his toe on the bench

What?? Everton will roast Celta de Vigo if both teams are at their best. Romelu will make life miserable for that Celta defence.
The truth is that this current Celta team vs the United squad is a mismatch under normal circumstances. The problem is that we have had too many injuries and a number of our players have not been consistently in form. We have been failing to kill off opponents when we had chances. This is why most people are nervous.Lingard's won me around the second half of the season but I don't think he's done enough to warrant a start.
Current defense, man. Blind is not very trustful in the Cb position and will need the midfield to continuously drop deep to support his lack of pace.
Same for me, Had lingard as sub
I for one welcome our new goalkeeping overlord. I have faith in Romero. Like you say he hasn't done anything wrong all season.
Surprising you didn't notice.Sisto? The Midtjyland one?
edit: it is
04 PL: Man City (H) 1:2What's our win percentage with Fellaini AND Lingard starting?
09 EL: Zorya Luhansk (H) 1:0
13 PL: Chelsea (A) 4:0
47 PL: Middlesbrough (A) 1:3
48 PL: West Brom (H) 0:0
49 PL: Everton (H) 1:1
50 PL: Sunderland (A) 0:3
52 PL: Chelsea (H) 2:0
54 PL: Burnley (A) 0:2
55%I get the feeling people would moan whatever team we put outHad hoped to see De Gea starting this one.
Romero has done very well but its the semis now and i would have liked us playing our strongest team.
If we get knocked out because of a Romero mistake while having De Gea on the bench..well best not to think about it really.
Otherwise happy with the line up.
Getting a little nervous here but im ready
This. Someone will always moan. No surprises in the side if you ask me.
Don't mind Fellaini as much now but Lingard is meh. That's one of our attacking outlets blunt. (Hope I'm wrong and he scores a hat trick then again Racheal Riley might chap my door for some entertainment and I may miss the match)What's our win percentage with Fellaini AND Lingard starting?

Other than Roncaglia in for Fontas that is their typical Europa League team. Well rested in the league and good record in Europe."Romero hasn't put a foot wrong all season". He makes mistakes basically everytime he plays, whether it's not holding onto a ball, a dodgy kick out, flapping at something. They just luckily haven't cost us so far. DDG is a much better keeper, there's no reason not to play our best players.Please just win this United and let me worry about the final
His defensive roles on the flank are needed. I had a talk with a friend supporting Madrid before and he told me Celta is very dangerous from the flanks and he even predicted Jose to start Lingard in this match for this.No biggie about Romero, I expected him to start since he has started all the matches so far but if we make it to the final, is Jose going to start him ahead of De Gea?
Just had a thought .. remember when he was given the number 7 and seemingly wilted due to the pressure? Hope same doesn't happy with regard to captaincy.
Give it another 15 years.Happy Rooney doesnt feature. Too soon for Mata. Not sure why Mourinho doesnt let returning players have a run out in the U23's to get a bit of sharpness. Prefer Blind over Jones and Smalling.
I am willing to bet DDG has made more dodgy decisions this year than Romero... such as dropping the ball on to the bar not too long ago.
Haha. Si
Yep.No biggie about Romero, I expected him to start since he has started all the matches so far but if we make it to the final, is Jose going to start him ahead of De Gea?
Think you are making this up.
Nice recent upturn there to focus positivity on.I see those Celta fans dont act like a jukebox,hope we have enough of coins for our own next Thursday.
Or you're the one trusting Blind too much.
His work rate and energy is the only thing getting him games here. He doesn't have much else.
If he is is solid in the Semi Finals I think he will. He has the ballsNo biggie about Romero, I expected him to start since he has started all the matches so far but if we make it to the final, is Jose going to start him ahead of De Gea?
Getting nervous now....Listening to Mourinho; when he's in game mode like that its reminds you how much more impressive he is than Moyes and LVG. He speaks exactly how you want hear a Man United manager speak before a game like this. No bullshit just complete focus. He's here to win.
Yeah, still watching. Don't think we will get top 4 and I do think we should be focusing on Europa. But I have several friends who are Gooners and particularly hate losing to them.
Yeah, 11 goals scored and 2 conceded in the last 6 games they started together.
Why is it strange?
A clear chance at home to break into top four, we blow it.
Closest rivals just dropped points, another chance, we blow it.
Liverpool unbelievably lose at home to Palace, again another chance, we blow it.
Again and again and again another chance, and again we blow it.
Okay, this is unusual, who gets chance after chance like this, here is another one.....ouch! We blow it again.
So what is strange about tuning off? You want me to get a heart attack?
Standard fair weather fan behaviour.
Going off your other post, you believe it to be because he's not starting our "biggest game of the season". When in reality he's not starting in a Europa League game because Romero has been our number 1 in the competition thus far. It has absolutely no bearing on whether or not De Gea is staying or leaving.10/11 for me , I thought de Gea would play tonight.I don't have half the problem most do with Fellaini.
However, pick your best fecking keeper. This isn't the time to feck around for sentiment.- Status
