Stoke 1-1, 1-1What's our record against teams that have drawn or beaten us in the first leg this season ?
For example we drew with stoke and Liverpool both times.
Liverpool 0-0, 1-1
West Ham 0-0, 2-0
Not a lot of data there.

I thought there was more,ah well,will be interesting to see how we do against a team that has already beaten us.Stoke 1-1, 1-1
Liverpool 0-0, 1-1
West Ham 0-0, 2-0
Not a lot of data there.
Best way to beat a 3-4-3 is dominate the ball and keep them pinned back. The fullbacks need to advance regularly and keep their wide men pinned back. Can't see Niang wanting to chase Valencia up and down the wing all day so we should get plenty of space down that side.We'll face big issues in this game especially because of their formation 3-4-3 (if they use it)
We played our two worst game this season, in a tactical point of view against 3-4-3 so I'll be very aware of how we'll act against this.
We also have to make amend of the first game there when we were horrible, especially Pogba who was destroyed by Capoue.
Big game ahead as we have to confirm our good performance at Leicester.

Hope they put on a show for the 2 of you , I bet the young lad is buzzin , this is what it is all about . There is nothing like walking up the steps and seeing the pitch in front of you , magic .My first trip to OT this season and my son's first ever. We've a pretty good record when yours truly comes along and roars my support* so I'm going with a 3-1 win.

Thanks, bud. As of this morning he's gone from counting the days to counting the hours.Hope they put on a show for the 2 of you , I bet the young lad is buzzin , this is what it is all about . There is nothing like walking up the steps and seeing the pitch in front of you , magic .
My lads first game was Debrecen in a champions league qualifier 2005 , 3-0 , Rooney , Ruud and Ronaldo . He was made up cos he saw Gary Neville play (his fav player ).
Hope the 2 of you have a great day .
That's a strong statement.Watford are absolutely terrible at keeping a clean sheet. If we don't score in this game i'm giving up watching us play this season (unless we make it to any finals).
Watford single handledly ruined my fantasy year. I'm triggered just hearing their nameThat's a strong statement.
If they actually are playing 3-4-3, then there might be merit in including Carrick and playing 3 in the middle (probably at the expense of Mata or Martial). The space when playing against a 3-4-3 is between their central midfielders and their wingbacks, so we really should be giving Pogba freedom to drive forward and get into those pockets of space. If we do that, he'll drag their midfielders out of position, leaving space in other parts of the pitch. I think Ibra is going to have to drop deep a lot as well, one striker against a back three is a tough brief, even for someone of his calibre, but if he drops deep, he can also take a defender with him and leave space for one of our wingers to get in behind. So in summary, I think this should be our team:We'll face big issues in this game especially because of their formation 3-4-3 (if they use it)

The Chelsea game? We were absolutely battered by a stronger side, it happens. I'm not nearly as annoyed by that one as the Watford result or all those home draws against weaker sides.I still am raged about out 2 big OFF results. That of Watford and Chelsea. We have to trash them, we need to keep winning games and bolster our challenge to the top 4.
Haha, good job and enjoy. Hope your luck continues. We've had the opposite luck when going to OT with my boys, lost both games and zero goals for (actually in the Real Madrid second leg in 2013 they scored an OG). And RvP missed peno right in front of us against WBA. Jinxed.My first trip to OT this season and my son's first ever. We've a pretty good record when yours truly comes along and roars my support* so I'm going with a 3-1 win.

we are a 3pm kick off?Saturday 4pm kick-off is a rare occasion. Watford found form recently but we should beat them although if we don't score 1st half we tend to make it hard for ourselves.
Get an early goal I say.
I'm guessing CET.we are a 3pm kick off?
Yes, but I'm in Norway and we use CET so kick-off is 4pm.we are a 3pm kick off?

There's nothing Rashford did lately to earn his spot over Mata...and on the RW as well where he's even less effective. Rest I agree with apart from Jones instead of Smalling if he's fit since Rojo is out from this one.Would like to see us play with almost the same team as last match.

Hang in there mate, maybe Martial will bag a hat trick!Watford single handledly ruined my fantasy year. I'm triggered just hearing their name
I like this a lot. Just in terms of the players it puts on the field, it saves us from making that early Carrick substitution like we've done recently. If they go 3-4-3 Mkhi can play a little deeper to help us dominate possession in the middle. If they go 4-3-3 or otherwise, Mkhi can assume the #10 role. Really want to see Rashford play from the right also to give us proper width from that side.-----------De Gea-----------

LOL. When Falcao was here, stinking the place up, many fans used to say the exact same thing.Hang in there mate, maybe Martial will bag a hat trick!
A man can dream....LOL. When Falcao was here, stinking the place up, many fans used to say the exact same thing.
I am not sure if Martial will even make the starting XI, let alone score a goal. And as for scoring 3 ...
