The problem is us, not them. We have a crap record against most LA Liga sides.They'll probably be bottom half when the game comes.
The only top ten sides they have beaten so far are Cadiz, Betis and Granada. Yet to play Sevilla, Barca and Atletico - two of those ties come in the next three games.
They are playing some nice football from what I've seen, but very far from a top side.
Yea it's annoying. We seem to have a mental block because in quite a few of those matches we've gone out against la Liga sides we've been the better team. They let you play a bit of football.The problem is us, not them. We have a crap record against most LA Liga sides.
This still cracks me up.Does IRRRRAAMEEEENDI still play for them?
Rubbish! Watched most of their games last season and a few this season. They are top 6 Spanish side - with potential for top four. Young squad, but also a few quality older ones. Januzaj was mostly on the bench last year. Oyarzabal is quality and they have some pace with Isak. Playing Barca on Wednesday, if you like to scout. Drew against Real, if memory serves me right.They'll probably be bottom half when the game comes.

It’s sooo goodDoes IRRRRAAMEEEENDI still play for them?
Watched them too. Inconsistent, short bench. Currently three draws in a row, they are top because they have played 2 games more than Atletico.Rubbish!

Will be a very tough ask. Seems a bit more competitive than previous years.While I am still disgusted by dropping out of the CL I hope we can win the EL. I do not share the opinion that it is an unimportant Micky Mouse cup.
The bottom sentence sounds like us on occasions.They'll probably be bottom half when the game comes.

If we have a new manager I have no doubt we will beat them. Under our mediocre manager, nothing is given of course..The bottom sentence sounds like us on occasions.
We could also be in the bottom half in all fairness. We still have to play Liverpool twice and Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs and City away. Plus the rest of our home games and when considering we have won only 11 of the 25 we have played since the beginning of last season, it's not guaranteed points. I'm actually not fancying us getting much more than 50 points this season.
We may have a new manager by this match though and be doing better.
Does IRRRRAAMEEEENDI still play for them?
He's a squad player for them but has been starting reasonably regularly in last few weeks, set up the goal that got them into knock outs.Is Adnan getting minutes with them? Not been following either him or them
love thisDoes IRRRRAAMEEEENDI still play for them?
They took 4 points off Atletico Madrid last season. Drew with Real Madrid 0-0 on first night. Also won at Betis 3-0 who are a decent team.They'll probably be bottom half when the game comes.

It's not a short bench, club policy to promote many young players to the team. So far likes of Guevara, Lopez, Zubimendi have all started a decent chunk of league matches to give their first choice rest from playing europa on a Thursday (would be like Man. United giving regular starts to likes of Garner and Gomes if they'd stayed in premier league after europa) so think that's a reason why they haven't got as many wins recently.Watched them too. Inconsistent, short bench. Currently three draws in a row, they are top because they have played 2 games more than Atletico.
Come Christmas period they will be stretched and will lose points, especially in the next 4-5 games.
Glad to see optimism is alive and kickingWe'll go through and then lose to a 'worse' team a couple of rounds later.
Wow that is some stat.Ole Solskjaer must have a rotten luck.
He endured the toughest Champions League group, got knocked out and ended in the most difficult Europa cup edition in modern history. We are facing Sociedad(the current leaders of La Liga).
I wonder how many folks are aware that all the current leaders of the European's top 5 leagues are currently in Europa league. I doubt it has ever happened this way.
Real Sociedad - La Liga
Tottenham - Premier League
Leverkusen - Bundesliga
AC Milan - Serie A
Lille - Ligue 1.
Going by Ole's bad luck, United could beat Sociedad and then get Tottenham or AC Milan in the round of 16.
Man Utd can't just catch a break.
