Not cup tied?
United draw LASK (from Austria) in Europa League
- Thread starter Foxbatt
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
While Matic has 48 caps to his name, David DeGea and Juan Mata each have 41 caps, Ighalo had 35, and Lindelof has 33...
The first game is at LASK, so having two of their CBs out makes them a bit ripe for the picking on away goals. That could be a huge advantage.
He had a good career in Germany, played for Bremen and Bayern. I saw that he had around 15 games for Palace when he was 23. Hardly one of the biggest PL flops. I'm almost sure you think of someone else and you are mistaken about this.Is he in charge ? One of the biggest transfer flops in P.L-history.
You shouldn't look beyond a team but it does feel we've be given a decent hand at this tournament now.
Roma vs Sevilla
Getafe vs Inter
Shaktar vs Wolfsburg
Wolves vs Olympiakos
Rangers vs Leverkuson
That's a brilliant draw, we're going to lose at least four of our main competition from that draw and if Rangers can pull off a shock five.

Who was one of the stars last night?And besides, there is no being "cup tied" anymore. They did away with that. Why does this still get asked before every stage?
Wait for the final
My Liverpool supporting mate thinks it's being fiddled to help us back into the Champions league... 
Blimey. If i were a Liverpool fan right now, Champions of Europe, soon to be Champions of England by 50 points, on for a treble, best team in the World by an absolute mile, I would not be remotely fecked about whats going on in the Europa League, or at any other club.My Liverpool supporting mate thinks it's being fiddled to help us back into the Champions league...
LASK usually line-up in a 3-4-3 formation with an even spread of goals scored by their forwards. It won't be easy and i for one think we could have been drawn against an easier team than LASK.
They. Are. Worried?
It’s nice to know that they still think about us, when they’re basically having the season akin to someone playing FM and reloading the save until they win the match (save scumming)My Liverpool supporting mate thinks it's being fiddled to help us back into the Champions league...
The hate remains strong in them, don't you worry about that.
Bruno scored 1 and assisted 1 when Sporting beat LASK 2-1 in the group stages.
Cheers.

Great draw. Dodged strong opponents and we had Sevilla drawing Roma and Inter drawing Getafe. Wouldn't have asked for more.
The same AZ we spanked 4-0?
I'm sure they're not a bad team if they beat Twente who were no mugs as we saw in the group stage - but let's be real it could have been a LOT worse.
As long as we get away from there with a fairly even score we should win the home tie comfortably again.

With Young and Pereira on the field. Young even scored. Garner played 90' and Jones subbed in for Maguire.
Wtf
Got a feeling we'll play Inter in the final and Wolves in semi final.
I think some people forget how much greater than the majority of the leagues in Europe the Premier league is! 9 times out of ten a team doing really well in one of the minor leagues in Europe will get spanked by any of the top 6/7 teams in the Premier League...it's just the reality! As such, I expect us to stroll into the quarter finals!
Very happy with this outcome.
LASK playing well in Austria at the moment, Have a game against Salzburg next week which I'll be keeping my eyes on.
Well drilled side could possibly cause an upset at home but realistically we should make a point of getting this done and dusted in the Away leg.
Most of the other favourites in the EL this season going up against each other also favours us going to QF/SF without playing a strong formidable squad i.e Inter, Roma & Leverkusen.
I am excited we could actually see ourselves as the close favourites for the Europa League. Any against that opinion?

Why are Austria Wien called Austria? Seems like if we were called England Manchester.
Wolves and Inter are the only teams left in the draw we should historically have any reason at all to fear.
Obviously with Wolves that's a very, very recent history.

We'll take them to task. Seem to be minnows, decent team in Austria, but we got this.
People said and feared the same about Club Brugge when we drew them but we chucked them away easily. This tie should be the same. We should have too much for them. I wouldn’t be worried until we meet the stronger teams in the last 8
They’re ahead of RB Salzburg.Bit of a surprise.? Don’t expect it to stay like that but has to be respected, not feared though
Interesting analysis from Reddit:
Seems like a good draw for us, but we need to be concentrated and get the job done. They lost to Brugge but won over PSV, Sporting, Basel, and Alkmaar so we should take them seriously.
I dunno, Salzburg lost Haaland and Minamino in the January window.
Same!
The beat Salzburg 3-2 away a fortnight ago.
Salzburg not quite weak now after losing both of their star men in January - Haaland and Minamino
Were they that dependent on those 2?
One up against Frankfurt at the moment, though. But yeah, they are obviously weakened.
They lost the 1st leg 4-1 in Germany.
I’ll be stunned if they turned this round but personally can’t see it.
Truth. But that is why they are Liverpool fans, even when they are temporarily at the top of the world, they can't help looking up our asses and expecting us to shit on their team next
Don’t know what their depth is like but those two were certainly massively important players for them.
Ole's first real test.
