I mean, since our last final in 2011 we've been rubbish in the champions league. This year probably won't be any different.Or maybe it shows how much of a collective bitch the Caf has become.
Didn't we beat Bayern under Moyes?I mean, since our last final in 2011 we've been rubbish in the champions league. This year probably won't be any different.
No, we didn't.Didn't we beat Bayern under Moyes?
I will agree with you there 100% rightWe might get through, we might not.
And Lindelof Vs Neymar - thief and thief-catcherMbappe versus Maguire... speed vs positioning
What! We can't comfortably finish 3rd in a 4 horse race now?!Would be lucky to reach even that
Probably can, but at what cost?Surely we can at least make 3rd?
God I hope I haven't jinxed it ...
That is a good question. We don't seem to have the squad depth so it becomes a concern the longer it drags on. It looks like there really is no good answer to this.Probably can, but at what cost?
CL is a good comp for good teams to rotate, if they qualify early then they can use the remaining games to catch their breath. Most first and second seeds usually plough through and secure it fast.
But with so many good teams on the CL often it goes to the 5th or 6th game, and that's taxing on the campaign as you need to play with full team in an already congested season
With us it's never that easy.It’ll come down to the games vs Leipzig.
If we can’t take 6 points off Baka then we shouldn’t even be concerned about the group. Demba Ba, Chadli, Rafael etc all play for them.
I guess you haven't watched us post lockdown.Toughest group but that's probably a good thing as we're better sitting deep and hitting teams on the counter than actually trying to break down opponents.
I have. We're fine when we sit back ourselves with our midfield behind the ball. We're more vulnerable when we're trying to chase the game or trying to work our way forward. Some of our play isn't quick and press resistant enough (excluding VDB who is arguably too press resistant).I guess you haven't watched us post lockdown.
I mean, we just lost to Crystal Palace a couple of weeks ago and got completely played off the park by Brighton last week. We can easily drop points against just about any team, really.It’ll come down to the games vs Leipzig.

Yes it has been miserable few months and that is because of the owners and management, not because of Ole and team. I am doing good and don't need your free advice.Negative Nancy.
Do yourselves a favor and stay out of anything United related and enjoy life. If that's too much an ask then learn to be patient. Get well soon and that's the last free advice you'll get from me.
Good luck to the 14 players Ole trusts during that runSo with the CL fixture dates being announced, our fixtures after the international break until the end of the group stage are as follows:
All Saturday or Sunday and then Tuesday or Wednesday. This upcoming month will be absolutely brutal, but then the 2nd half of that being key for champions league progression.
