Amazing how we're playing a back 4 with all 4 playing out of position - even though two of them are actually full backs!-----------------DDG------------------

I have watched 5 minutes of Celta Vigo vs Athletic Bilbao (including Celta conceding from a corner) just now and I'm ready to conclude that Celta are shit.
Actually, only the goalkeeper, one of the center-backs (Fontàs) and a midfielder (Wass, but just 61') are expected to start against us.they've rested about 6/7 players
that would be a dream.... had we done that at Anderlect we could have played a B team in second game, Rojo/Ibra could be fit and if my auntie had balls.....How great would it be to blow them away 3-0 or something? Just completely take the pressure off for once.
I do know that, but it makes it the Celta have to win the EL or no Europe. They have put terrible pressue on themselves. We will have to be wary. Yes they could be rusty or very rested. I just wanted Bilbao to win, so I am happy.It's not there full team. They resting like 6 players.
I believe this two legged tie is the biggest event in the club's history.I do know that, but it makes it the Celta have to win the EL or no Europe. They have put terrible pressue on themselves.

Yep. Pogba, Mata, Fellaini and Mkhitaryan will be available to freshen things up.Pogba and Mata should be back for this, no?

Why on earth would today's result add any pressure on them? It was a dead rubber, they have nothing to play for in La Liga. Also, as far as I know, they're not that big of a club, so not getting to Europe next year would be no disaster. They just came back to the top tier a few years ago, and haven't been in Europe for years before this season. They have next to no pressure, noone is expecting them to beat us.Athletic bilbao won 0-3. Celta's players will be under huge pressure to win against us now.
Not a lot is expected of celta in the league. The pressure is due to fans who come to see the team play. Throwing away games for Europa against us will rub most of them the wrong way. They would want the team to be doing well in both the competitions.Why on earth would today's result add any pressure on them? It was a dead rubber, they have nothing to play for in La Liga.

Same here, except I'm not loving it at allBasically what my tagline says.
I doubt that many Galicians are too bothered. European football is a bonus for them. They're happy to be sitting pretty in mid-table. Another year of La Liga is secure and they have the excitement of a 2 legged tie against one of the biggest clubs in the world.Not a lot is expected of celta in the league.

Why do they have a 17k attendance in a 29k stadium then, doesn't look like the fans care either? Sure they fill it on EL nights. I don't know that much about their situation, so genuinely asking here. It's just that if they won today, they'd be 11th in the league. Where as if they drew, they'd be 11th. They lost, but they're 11th.Not a lot is expected of celta in the league. The pressure is due to fans who come to see the team play.

Well thank feck for that.

Some players might be fit.
Why leave Mkhitaryan out of it, when he's rested and has been scoring in almost every Europa League game? I know he's been very poor in the Premier League, but… Anyway, I wouldn't change the formation now. A cautious 4-3-3 or an aggressive 4-2-3-1 more adapted to the players available would be fine.Wonder if we will go to a back 3 of blind Carrick and Darmian.
Not sure I fancy either of them in a 2.
Go 352 with pogba Herrera and Fellaini, Martial and rashford up top.
This. They will see right through his predictability and cause major problems for us.Don't get tricked...Celta has nothing to play in La Liga..and if they can win EL, they will go to CL, which will be a huge boost for the small team like them...
I am sure they will give us a hell if we dont prepare...their wingers is very fast, and their midfield like to play 1-2 pass..and their defense while not special is very tidy...lucky us, no big tall CF...
The players to be watched Iago Aspas and Jonny Castro (Cool nameeee)...
Just don't loose if we can not push for win...And for our sake, play 4 defenders instead of 3...and please no Rooney...
Rashford
Martial Mkhi Lingard
Pogba Herrera
Young Blind Darmian Valencia
David De Gea
Just dont bring Fellaini...high tempo game is not suitable for him...Pogba needs all disciplines he has...
I fear we have no option but to play him on Thursday. He can't play the Arsenal game, and Carrick can't be expected to start 3 games in a row. Unless we play a 2 man mid, it's inevitable the brush start. Such a pity as he is such a brainless and clumsy player bound to give away countless fouls in dangerous areas that could eventually cost us.Don't get tricked...Celta has nothing to play in La Liga..and if they can win EL, they will go to CL, which will be a huge boost for the small team like them...

Don't think we have much of an option, we're better off playing Fellaini who is still relatively fresh in comparison to Carrick and Herrera who desperately need a rest.This. They will see right through his predictability and cause major problems for us.
Think that was more what I was getting at. It is just like here where teams just stop playing, yet the clubs still expect the fans to shell out money to watch a sub-standard product.Not a lot is expected of celta in the league.
