I'm not that worried to be honest. PSG will come here wanting a result. They're only really scary upfront. Midfield without Veratti and their defence aren't that great in my opinion. Our attack can do devastating damage when they click against a team that leaves spaces. And PSG will leave plenty. I believe we qualify next week.
PSG and Leipzig - We’ll never get out of the group!

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
The loss away to Istanbul was disspointing but before it all started if someone said we would only need a point to qualify before the last two games, think everyone would have bitten their hand off.
Think Pogba HAS to play against PSG...he'll want to show his best against top competition.
Plus No Way he trusts Pogba in a must win game against Leipzig....

Feel bad for Tuchel but reading your post makes me feel better, surely the stage is set for us to put the final nail in the coffin and get him the sack?PSG are awfull at the moment. They were outplayed yesterday and were parking the bus all the second half.
All the french experts are terrified at the idea of playing us in 7 days after what they saw yesterday. Their front 2 are in a bad form. Mbappe cannot even play more then 45minutes.
Leipzig will be open as feck so it will play in our end.
So it is really ours to feck up I think.
Saha was on french television last night. When he spoke, he said "us" about United... And he was all surrunded by PSG lovers...
Tuchel was very defensive in the interview as well, there is something very wrong about PSG at the moment. Tuchel is at the edge of the sack.
So Istanbul-Leipzig play 2 hours before us on Wednesday. I've not ruled out the possibility Istanbul pull one out the bag for us and get a win. I'm not sure how motivated they are given it looks unlikely they will qualify - however if they did manage to win their last 2 games they can still potentially qualify and I assume they'd rather finish 3rd and get EL, so from that perspective they should still be up for it.
If Istanbul win it near enough guarantees our qualification unless Leipzig managed to beat us by 6 goals in the final game I believe? The annoying thing about this scenario is we'd still probably end up putting our strongest team in the final game just to ensure we don't get thrashed, so we wouldn't have the opportunity to rest players. For this reason we'll still need a point against PSG to give us some freedom to rotate in the final game.

I don't think Tuchel did a good job. He doesn't know his best team or formation and doesn't have the ball to drop Neymar or Mbappe when they are terrible. That is the problem when players are bigger then the club... But appart from them and Verratti, their team is very ordinary...
If it can make you feel better, they were really bad this weekend too. A friend who supports them really doesn't know how they can win on wednesday, and he is always very optimistic !
I just hope, we will not get punished now I am saying this !
We're never going to beat PSG and RB, may as well accept our fate now.
We have already beaten them and quite comfortably.
We need to get a point tomorrow. Anything can still happen.
I think PSG will play into our hands knowing they have to get a win. Happy for us to sit back and get them on the counter. Really looking forward to this match!

Reverse psychology. Clever thinking
Getting the first goal would help our cause a massive deal. Would mean PSG having to over commit for the rest of the game, massively increasing our odds of getting a 2nd on the counter to defo get the point we need.
Why can't he play more than 45 mins, that seems odd?PSG are awfull at the moment. They were outplayed yesterday and were parking the bus all the second half.

Its so funny when you go on rival team forums and they rate us higher than we rate ourselves
That’s the Caf
I really think that we will be playing on the counter through out the game and let them have the ball. No way, Ole is going attack attack.
One thing is for certain. They will give us chances. Its upto us whether we take advantage of them or not.
I seriously think that they will score but we will also score unless someone upfront has a nightmare for us
link?
Klingon?For a second I thought you were speaking a language I haven't heard before.
Watch out for the moaners complain about our tumescent footballing style in the matchday thread then.

Brighton and Potter seem to be rated far higher here than on North Stand Chat! I think it's quite normal, fans are the ultimate pessimists, they focus and dwell on all the mistakes and near misses and see only the good moments from other teams.
And there I go thinking it was Scouse.
Busy sharpening my pitchfork, hopefully we can pull a draw out from this and qualify tonight because I really don’t fancy going to Germany needing something. The OP totally cursed us.
We've made it tough for ourselves. If we lose to Leipzig, I think that should be curtains for Ole. This game is entirely on him. His decision to keep Martial and Fred on the pitch was utter lunacy.
Squeaky bum time!!
Imagine another year of Europa League football.
100% we won’t get a result next week. Think we’re in Europa
Let me just find my post from last week now...... so feckin obvious this
Ah feck me I can't stand Europa FFS can we just forfeit our place??
That terrible performance in Turkey and the shocking finishing tonight, can't say I've much faith in us getting through now.
Hello europa league
Upamacamo (sp) suspended and played like shit earlier on.
If we play like tonight, we win but we might not even play like this anyway.

Not looking good now.
Martial, again missing gilt edge chances. Top strikers get a sniff and score. Martial is NOT a top striker.
OGS also to blame for shambolic ingame management. Shocking

Ole's at the wheel! ...NOT
We've bottled topping the group now, as PSG have the better head to head record. Now we have to avoid defeat against Leipzig to even go through.
Throwing it away.
Ole's United are the biggest bottlers around.

Lost the H2H on PSG now, so a win in Leipzig only gets us 2nd if PSG do the business.
We've went from guaranteed to qualifying to getting knocked out
