[SER19]

I think we'll win 1-3.

 

[Red Devil 26]

If teams are level on points, is it still H2H results that determine who goes through?

I seem to recall previously it was H2H and if that was level, it would go down to away goals scored against that particular team. But now that the away goals rule has been removed from knockouts, I don't know if that's still in play?

If, (massive if, I know) we beat Galatasaray and get a point against Bayern, we'd be level on points with the winner of Galatasaray/Copenhagen (provided Copenhagen don't grab something against Bayern).

 

[Mike Smalling]

We still have a better chance than I thought, actually. Obviously we need to win this, but if we do and Bayern defeat Copenhagen at home, we will be 2nd already with a home game left, where Bayern will have nothing to play for.

I'm under no illusion that we will make it very far in the knockout stages, but I'd still prefer that to the Europa League (obviously). The CL knockouts are where we belong. It's also an important part of the progress to get these kinds of games under the belt.

Previous 2 seasons Bayern got perfect group stage point tally. There is no reason for them to ease up, taking the game from them is a huge task in itself.

Yeah, true. We can still get a result at home though. And a draw could also be enough provided other results go our away.

It's start with beating Galatasaray, of course. The rest doesn't matter if we can't do that.

Yeh exactly.If we beat Galatasary i'd fancy us to find our way through - but all irrelevant if we dont

I’d have another Garnacho screamer please and thank you

[DJ_21]

I thought Lindelof had very good second half - and of course it was his excellent pass that set up the first goal

Got bullied most of the game against DCL

 

[DJ_21]

Do we definitely need 2 wins to qualify? Could we not get through with a win and draw? Depending on other results. Does it go of GD in this group or is it head to head?

Onana
AWB-Harry-Victor-Shaw

[Strelok]

I have a bad feeling about this match. We're crap away. Anyway please start Mainoo.

 

[Andycoleno9]

Just need to win, preferably by 2 goals.

This is where defeat vs Copenhagen kicks in. If we only managed a draw there then any win against Galata and a draw against Bayern would be enough.

Let’s start with beating Galatasaray by 2+ goals - if we manage this, then there will be chances indeed

 

[red woppit]

Personally I would leave Mainoo on the bench, and bring Amrabat in (Mainoo to start against Bayern). Rashford is out so Antony on the right, Højlund central and Martial left. Varane for Lindelof, and AWB for Dalot. I'm not sure about Shaw (sorry), I think It depends on how he came out of the Everton game.

 

[edgecutter]

Thank feck I checked the time for this one. I would have been raging had I assumed 8 o'clock kick off

 

[VP89]

We need to win and have a healthy scoreline.

 

[bosnian_red]

Ah feck forgot no Rashford here. Not great. Pellistri and Garnacho then? Martial and Hojlund together?

 

[Alemar]

Personally I would leave Mainoo on the bench, and bring Amrabat in (Mainoo to start against Bayern).

I would start Mainoo AND Amrabat (instead of mctominay)

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

Ah feck forgot no Rashford here. Not great. Pellistri and Garnacho then? Martial and Hojlund together?

Garnacho Hojlund (assuming fit) Pellistri I’d hope. Not sure why Pellistri doesn’t get more minutes… maybe Ten Hag doesn’t yet see him as a starter, more a sub.

 

[DWelbz19]

Ah feck forgot no Rashford here. Not great. Pellistri and Garnacho then? Martial and Hojlund together?

Maybe we play Hojlund as a wide right attacker with Martial upfront. I'd be surprised, but it is possible.

 

[Who's Kissing Cameras?]

They battered Bayern at home, Bayern were lucky to get that win.

I think our CL season ends here.

 

[AngeloHenriquez]

3 games, 6 days - We need to rotate or we get more injuries. I know Ten Hag hates this and plays his strongest XI every game but it's not practical and doing that all year is what has resulted in so many injuries. Chances are we aren't going to qualify and based off our form there is a good chance that if we did we get knocked out first knockouts and playing the strongest XI and getting more injuries just ruins our chances on both fronts, Shaw has just returned and Mainoo is a kid recently back from injury so as much as I want to see them both I think it would be a mistake to chuck them both back in the starting XI.

 

[RedUnited86]

We'll be fine, we've got more than enough characters in the team that can cope with the fiery atmosphere there not really

Rashford is out people and it’s baffeling how some people on here still wants to start Rashford after what he just served up yesterday. Standards needs to be set at the club.

To me it shows the real depth of some fans knowledge when they pick a suspended player.

 

[nakpodiareuben]

Its the hope that kills you. So lets just throw the towel in now and go for the FA Cup and try and get up the table. Transition season within a transitional period. No point playing in this comp til next year.

I kind of think about this. Is it not better we just exit the CL? But knockout stages of the cl can go any where and who knows! We can go very far if we can leave the group stage

 

[doomy20]

Stop the win/draw qualification Chance calculations. 3 losses in 4 games put us in this miserable situation. We have to win away at one of the hardest grounds in Europe, followed by beating Bayern. Do that and we deserve to qualify. Anything else will rightfully put us on 3rd/4th place

 

[Valencia Shin Crosses]

You might be right about Mainoo but Shaw is vital to the way we play. This is a must win game so there's no way he doesn't start.

Both are vital. If one of them doesn't start we are basically punting the chance at moving on.

 

[always_hoping]

United's results away to Galatasaray in the Champions league is played 3, won 0, drew 2 and lost 1. scored 0 and conceded 1.

Galatasaray record at home to Premier league teams in the champions league is played 7 won 2, drew 3 and lost 2. The two defeats was against Chelsea in 1999 and Arsenal in 2014.

 

[Gabriel Djemba-Bebe]

Both are vital. If one of them doesn't start we are basically punting the chance at moving on.

I'd be inclined to agree with you but I didn't want to go overboard on the importance of a kid who made their first PL start yesterday.

 

[Valencia Shin Crosses]

I'd be inclined to agree with you but I didn't want to go overboard on the importance of a kid who made their first PL start yesterday.

I think saying he's vital is less of overhyping Mainoo himself and more an indictment on the absolute trash options in the midfield in general. Pretty sad when an 18 year old fresh off his debut is the only midfielder we have with a bit of technique and calmness on the ball.

Can't see us winning in Turkey to be honest. In a game with nothing at stake, we might beat Bayern but so what? The damage is done and we really should have done better in the earlier games.

 

[2 man midfield]

Win tomorrow and I think we’ll just be ok. Anything less and we’re fecked either way.

 

[Leftback99]

This team isn't getting a win in Turkey. CL is over for us.

 

[Alemar]

This team isn't getting a win in Turkey.

why shouldn’t we win there? Hopefully, we will win comfortably by at least 2 goals.
