    This guy never learns from his mistakes, again with the 1 man midfield.

    Decent line up that. Only complaint is MCT over Mainoo but that is understandable because of the goal scoring form.

    hopefully we scrape a win here. Don’t care about the other result, if we get through because of them it’s a massive bonus and very undeserved.

    hopefully we get a few weeks with a manager coaching the team (if we drop out of Europe entirety). Worst outcome would be to drop into the Europa

    Ahh the No midfield system. Can’t wait to see Mctominay and Bruno lose ground duels and then Amrabat having to chase three midfielders running towards our goal. Wouldn’t be a United game without that.

    I don't know what's worse. Dalot continuing to start over AWB, starting the same midfield or our lack of game changers on the bench.

    Comfortable 1-0 win, then.

    Jesus Christ their team

    Kimmich, Goretzka absolutely bombing into that open space and Musiala and Kane hovering around the isolated DM. Fantastic.

    And then they have pace all through the wings to pin us back or exploit any open space we leave.

    You could have Rijkaard sitting there and not be able to push back the tide by himself. Instead, we have Amrabat...

    If we're going to die, let's go out like drunks stumbling out of Witherspoon's on a Friday night.

    Wide open in midfield again, at some point ten Hag needs to go stronger in there.

    McTominay might have offered goals in his current run, but the rest of his game is well below standard.

    really hoping that Bayern play this like a training exercise and we get a win because they are sloppy. Don’t see another way we get through this one

    Very disappointed not to see Mainoo start. I know he’s a young kid but it’s clear to see he’s one of our best midfielders already and possesses the composure and passing ability in the middle of the park that McTominay sorely lacks. Prepare to be sliced open at will yet again.

    He must want the sack. It's the only reason for persisting with this single pivot bullshit. The guy is an absolute tool.

    I dont understand why is Mainoo not playing ? It would be a great game to experience for him, chances of us going through are semi existent , better try something different which we could use in the PL as well.

    9 of the 11 chinned by Bournemouth start again. And we’re supposed to believe this manager just needs more time.

    As if. That would involve some forward thinking from the manager.

    It is not McTominay. I would say that Fernandes need to calm down little with his running all over place. He is warrior but need to be more central. I don't know if it is tenHag who said to him to run freely or not. But he needs to be a link between McTominay and Amrabat. Fernandes need to trust our wide players to do their job so he can concentrate at his own job.

    So Varane can now play along side Maguire? Bayern have gone with their strongest available starting 11 with top place already secured hmm..

    They just got heavily beaten on the weekend. This will be a serious game for them. A statement game.

    Musiala should be tipped for a game of the season as he'll have all the space in the world to play in.

    We would struggle against Kane and Musiala in that pocket with 2 proper midfielders and a proper CB pairing, let alone a slow and immobile player in Amrabat and a backline that knows not to push up. There's going to be so much space to play in and around.

    Would love to be proven wrong. Don't want to watch a massacre.

    We have 5% chance of going through I think.
    Maybe 15% chance of going into Europa.
    And 80% chance of going out of Europe completely, doing Ratcliffe proud.

    What's that saying about doing the same thing again and again and expecting a different result?

    He's insane.

    The whinging in here as if we've left out a peak Keane Vieira midfield combo or something.

    think it is more the fact that we have seen the midfield look like absolute shit and yet things dont seem to be changing much in there.
