Do they still stand after the quarters?
Europa League QFs | Lyon, Celta, Ajax & United through to semis
- Thread starter top1whoisman
- Start date
I would think so, as UEFA has them as a "Misses next match if booked" status.
They would, I'm just wondering if they are wiped out after the game if they don't get booked...
Ah, good point. Will try to look for some info...
Edit: They will indeed be wiped out for the semis.
So we want Besiktas to win and avoid them next round hoping they get to the final. They'll sure take care of the trouble.
Feck it, let's win the darned thing.
My only concern about tonight is Herrera's yellow.
Did you not watch United in the Fergie era?Just got around to watching Ajax v Schalke, wow.
What a performance from an Ajax team with an average age of 22. I dream of a day we'll see that style of football played at Old Trafford.
That's what football should be about for me, great to see the work done by Overmars, Bergkamp, Van Der Saar and
Peter Bosz paying off.
Yeah I don't really care about what happens elsewhere. Lyon going out would be sweet, but them, Ajax and Celta have some key players in danger of suspensions.
Herrera would be a big miss, but one we would be okay with (Carrick, Fellaini, Pogba). Mkhitaryan has been by far our best player in EL, and with Mata out, I'd say we'd miss him more. And to go to another level, Bailly suspended would mean Rojo-Blind, Rojo-Darmian, Rojo-TFM or Rojo-Tuanzebe. Actually we would probably play with three at the back, Blind-Rojo-Darmian. Still, I'd say Micki and Bailly would be even more important in the possible semis.
For anyone going to the game tonight, a question from a newbie confused about the trains:
Some good legs tonight. Gonna watch Schalke vs Ajax & hope the home team can turn it around.
I think it's a safe bet that I watched more than you did mate. That's where I developed my opinions on how I believe football should be played by Manchester United. Obviously that seems to be at odds with Mourinho's football philosophy but listen we're still on the up, even if it is from a few seasons of underachieving.
That's why I'm not sure why you're dreaming of a day when United play football like the current Ajax side. Presumably you've seen United dominate world football so what you're saying makes no sense.
Manchester United should play as Manchester United. Ajax have their own style.
C'mon Lyon! Send these cnuts out!
Hope Celta and Besiktas got eliminated. Don't want to face a spanish club nor do I want us to play in Turkey.
Lineups - 2nd legs
But what about a final? Would you prefer a Lyon or a Besiktas in the final (in the scenario where we qualify tonight and avoid the winner of Lyon-Besiktas in the semis)
Same here.
We can beat both on a neutral field imo.
We can beat any of the remaining teams. The question was who do you prefer?

Lyon. The game will be open and they won't set back so our chance to expose their defense.
Good team.
So who do we want in UEFA Super Cup? Jinx!

Would love to watch Schalke for Kolasinac, but i am gonna probably end watch United.
Nice finish by Mkhitaryan.
Besiktas leading 1-0 against Lyon.
Besiktas would go through if it stays like this.

Besiktas take the lead. They are qualified atm.
Anderlecht have deserved that. They look like a very tidy side.
The injury to Rojo has upset United a bit.

Won't be surprised if Besiktas qualifies, they almost made it to the knock-out round of the Champions League if they didn't bottle their last group match. If they do qualify, I hope we don't meet them in the semis. Turkish teams are a pain to play against away.
1-1 Lacazette!
Goretzka . What a goal that would have been!
. What a goal that would have been!Christ! I thought Lacazette would have scored here, instead he hit the post!
Kolasinac with some nice crosses in.

Nice free kick by Ajax and Lyon clear off the line.
Ajax are playing really well.

I don´t know who had a tougher job sugar-coating BS the last eight weeks Sean Spicer or the German commentators of Schalke games.
And they score. LOL.

Goretzka

Goretzka. Great counter by Schalke. A bit undeserved though.
Schalke have equalised.
2-0 Schalke.
