yup. If Monaco score next we're out.
Champions League Round of 16 (14th Feb - 15th Mar)

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
He must have a bad one if it's only strapped on.I noticed Bakayoko has his knee strapped on. Does he have a knee injury ?
City need to wake up if they want to have any chance of making it through.
Monaco defense is pretty rubbish so you have to assume they'll give away a goal somewhere. They'll need to score one more imo
This Monaco team, wow, I like them, can we have, like, half of them? Where is Woody? IsJose watching?
I have to say I am severely underwhelmed by Bakayoko. He is great at winning the ball back but so is the entire Monaco team, when he gets the ball he just loses with it or does nothing of not. Fabinho looks a lot better than him.
United have been, yes. He's also Portugese and is said to have a huge admiration for Mourinho, so there's that. Think Sky mentioned us wanting him in the Summer window too (the report was from January).
Who would have thought this is how it would turn out after he left us?Keep up Léo Garden
I agree. Not trying to sound pessimistic but I think they'll end up doing enough. It will be disappointing but hardly heartbreaking as I suspected this would be the case prior to the start of the match.
I can't decide who I want at United. Fabinho, Mendy, Silva, Bakayoko, Mbape. I want them all!!!
We should do a deal with them. Just buy Mbappe and Silva and get the rest for a penny.
Off to Bluemoon to count how many times they mention the Rags in their match day thread.
Don't put yourself through it mate.
We'd get them, then they'd be overawed by expectations and underperform anyway
You can score 5 in next half, its very difficult to predict this.
People name various players but Jardim is the real talent.
So the reason City signed Pep is to put them on the map in Europe, and they're now being dumped out the way they always do. 
A part of me thinks most of them might work better as a team, and will probably fail to meet expectations when at a different club. Though players like Silva do look extra special.
I'd love to see us go all out for Fabinho. So consistent and plays right sided in central midfield whilst Pogba prefers the left. Also an excellent RB so it wouldn't mean the end of Herrera and with Valencia getting on in age plus Mourinho preferring to operate with a smaller squad it would be perfect.
It would be cheaper if we just bought Monaco.
Griezmann and Silva would be an unbelievable summer
Yeah I guess so. But we should buy at least one.
Monaco are a joy to watch.
Wouldnt mind seeing them play Leicester next round IF they get through as I'm sure City will get a few chances second half and at least score a goal.
Are we interested in this Bakayoko lad,he looks really good and cant beat his man with ease?

We were interested in him, right? There were links and all.
Monaco have been cycling the ball so quickly, but also accurately. It seems they always look forward as well rather than back.
Impressive as well that they do this with a team including lots of athletic players, not just a collection of techno-midgets. Formidable combination!

I really think apart from Mbappe, this Monaco team is like Klopp's Dortmund. Their quality mainly comes from the offensive tactical ability of their coach which elevates their players. Once they leave that setup I wouldn't be surprised if they end up like Sahin, Kagawa and Götze.
To be fair, we get linked to everyone and their brother.
The way we've played we'll be lucky to get 5 passes. Probably the most disappointed I've ever been with City (considering Leicester and Everton this season, say alot.)
City are still in the game though, it's only one half.
No English players in the team?
I think Guardiola's strategy is letting Monaco score at ease, then push them back with some possession football and, since Monaco can't defend, score at least six, overpowering Barcelona's feat.
Yep, 100%. Underrated at Sporting Lisbon too
Haha… probably. Quality mounts to nothing without the mentality and character to back it up, at least not at United.
I always rated him. Just didn't expect total voetbal Jardim
My thoughts exactly. Mbappe is an exception for me but the rest are similar to Kagawa, Sahin and Götze in that Dortmund side. Obviously talented but their performances were hugely elevated by Klopp's setup.
They all have English first names. Sorted mate!
For some reason I thought Atletico drew the first leg 1-1
Please, please, please Monaco, just knock these fecking Berties out! Don't mess up now.
You feckers are gonna jinx it like the first leg
Fabinho would be a good addition imo.
