I feel a lot more confident knowing we have van Persie.

Beating Madrid
- Thread starter Solius
- Start date
They are beatable .Hopefully Vidic and Rio will be available.
Don't jinx it.
I fancy our chances against anyone. We should embrace these sort of matches
Defend like their lives depend. But either way I can see both sides scoring in both games
As I've said in the other thread, Madrid have not been special at all this season. They rely heavily on Ronaldo to perform. Their defence is nothing special - as long as we have a reasonably strong side going into the games, I won't be worried at all.
Counter attack vs. Counter attack
January signings 
We have a chance lets just hope we don't have any major injuries when we are due to play the game.
I really hope Nani is back in the first team for this, I feel a player like him could make the difference in this type of game.

Here's where we regret not signing a midfielder. I can't properly express how much I want to beat those wankers in Madrid but in all honesty I make Madrid heavy favourites, especially as they can completely focus on this competition.
Won't be worried at all? fecking hell. No wonder some of you are disappointed with the season if you have that attitude!
Going to be an absolutely fantastic set of matches. Can't fecking wait!
I reckon we'll approach it the same way we did Barca in '08. A lot of things will change between now and Febuary, hopefully everyone is fit.
These are going to be two helluva nights.
They are beatable but the current defence against Ronaldo does make me a bit nervous.
buzzing to feck, we need to do these cnuts in. Imagine what a boost psychologically it would be if we bummed em proper
I fear people like Cleverley and Carrick will be overrun. I have no idea what to expect from Ronnie. Going to be weird.
Still so far away. So much can change with injuries. Our defence will be a lot more settled and stronger come February. At least I hope so.
Not a doubt this draw is a boost to our league prospects.
I hope we fecking twat them and big Micky Carrick clatters Ronaldo in the first minute. Ferguson to chin Mourinho and immediately resign as Moyes enters the stadium on a steed
Yeah, but Rafael vs Ronaldo is set up to be a cracker; Rafael has the pace to make life difficult for Ronaldo, as well as he is good going forwards which might expose RM defensively if Valencia and Rafael double team their fullback. Unfortunately, Marcelo might be back by then, and he's fairly decent.
Away second leg.
no chance!
no chance!
For once, I fully agree. Can't see these turning out to be two bore draws. But I'd hate to go out of the CL so fecking early...

I literally just got goosebumps thinking of these two games.
feck formations and tactics, on the day this will be decided by so much beyond our control. Maybe Ronaldo will be spurned on by "coming home", maybe RVP belts in a screamer from 25 yards. Maybe Carrick and Cleverly are overran. Maybe Anderson's back fully fit and destroys Alonso.

Agreed. If we can have Vidic at 100% by then I definitely fancy our chances. Real are beatable. I don't get the negativity to the draw. I think it's a great draw!
They have struggled against English teams recently as well.
fecking hell - how can you be negative about this. Biggest comment doing the rounds at the moment "Thats us fecked then.."
fecking defeatist cnuts. BRING IT. We can do them.

Home second leg. What are you talking about?
Um, no. We're at Old Trafford in the second leg.
For once you agree? I've made about 6,000 posts and you only agree with one thing?
Let's go for number #2 right away, hit a slam dunk.
I think that Alex Ferguson is a good football manager.
Viva Ronaldoooooooo!
I hope we give that a loud and clear rendition when we're 5-0 up, let him know he should never have left.
I'm buzzing for this tie. Even though it's so much harder than plenty of other teams we could have got, it's matches like this that the European Cup is all about.

Ronny back home
We're at home in the second leg because we won our group, whereas Madrid came second in their's. In the first knockout round that's always the way.
For the quarters they do a second draw, and that's the one where you can end up being home or away second.
Of course we could win but I honestly don't think we're defending well enough this season. I fear Madrid will destroy us on the counter
Play Rafa, Vidic, Ferdinand and Evra at the back. Carrick, Clev and Anderson in midfield. RVP upfront with Rooney & Kagawa interchanging and hit them on the break. Nullify the supply Ronnie gets from Özil and we will have a very good chance. Come the feck on United and do the fecking cnuts.
Maybe? Alonso and Khedira versus Carrick and Cleverley.
Well at least we know ronaldos strengths and weaknesses as best we could, obviously he's well know to everyone but I'm sure there's little things to his game you wouldn't really know without training with him frequently.
I really think if we get our tactics and team right we could get through. By February we could have vidic back on form which would be a massive boost. We've got the fire power to score. Going to be a great tie. Only worry is that if real have given up on the league they'll pore everything they can into the Cl.

Anderson? He'll run the midfield.....if he can get and remain fit
Going to be a tight tie. Second leg at Old Trafford could be key (although it certainly did not help United in the past...).
We'll be at home in the second leg as we won our group
feck me, time to start planning a new trip to OT me thinks.
