I'm starting to feel suspiciously optimistic about this, don't ask me why.

It`s alcohol isn`t it?

 

[LittleP14]

Hojlund hatty tonight....

I absolutely despise these 5.45pm kick-offs

I am starting to despise any time United kick off. I start off optimistic that this will be the new dawn, but then we get 2 hours of football misery usually

 

[aeh1991]

Why not also throw-in other unlikely fantasies like "Hojlund remembers his form from last season Champions League and scores a hat-trick"

Alas, the truth is that we have 90% chance of losing this game because we are shit

I agree about the 90%. I still stand to my point.

 

[V.O.]

These have scored 23 goals in 26 league games. They make us look like a swashbuckling attacking outfit in comparison.

I'm sure we'll find a way to gift them one or two, but they're probably not going to twat us.

No one twats us under Amorim, to be fair.

I don't mind if its a dead rubber group match but as a knockout match it is shite

 

[red_de_pologne]

I don't mind if its a dead rubber group match but as a knockout match it is shite

at least the return leg is 8 pm

 

[M15 Red.]

They average less than 1 goal per game in the league.

Sociedad have been goal shy this season, but their home form improved a bit during February. They scored 12 in 4 before losing 1-0 to Madrid.

5 of those came against Midtjylland though, so we should be alright.

Right?

Yeah by now I really should have adjusted to the knowledge that the football is almost certainly gonna make me miserable but all those years of being good have me hardwired to expect enjoyment, despite all contemporary evidence.

 

[Frank Grimes]

Utd are minus goals and are down to our bare bones.

 

[Gordon S]

I`m starting to miss the days we could be a little bit flexible in our approach and could go for a long balls for Rashford tactics in games like these. Could have worked in our favour in this game. Now we are most certainly looking forward to very much of the same as all winter.

 

[Utd heap]

As mentioned, they have similiar issues to us. Hopefully they play us on reputation and it's a disgusting 0-0 / 1-1.

I know we are shit at OT but the crowd will be bang up for that.

 

[DavidDeSchmikes]

 

[Pexbo]

fecking Hojlund. Zero other options on the bench though

 

[DJ_21]

Glad Dorgu is back. Sick of seeing Hojlund

 

[diarm]

For some reason I'd forgotten that Dorgu can play in this one. Feeling better about it now - himself and Garnacho linked up well until they were sent/taken off the last day,

 

[UTD_Since_1978]

The amount of ruddy 0-0 draws we've had against Spanish teams in European competition over the years & with both teams not scoring much this season does kind of point towards a bore scoreless draw.

 

[daveskimufc]

As good as it could've been I suppose.

Like to see Heaven get some minutes, and collyer get a run out at some point

 

[JBG]

fecking Hojlund. Zero other options on the bench though

I know... he should've played Rooney instead.

 

[TheGame]

Probably best line up we can muster.

We can do the same with Garnacho to be fair. He's not as fast but they both nearly always lose the ball anyway so same same.

 

[SuperiorXI]

Not even finished work yet and the lineups out you complete set of bastards yer

 

[DavidDeSchmikes]

haven't seen a bench like that since the first leg against Midtjylland back in 2016

 

[Ronaldo's ego]

I know... he should've played Rooney instead.

The current version of Rooney is still probably better than that lump.

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

That bench

 

[Remember the geese]

Incredible that we dont even have a striker on the bench. Sunday league stuff.

 

[Cutch]

How depressing the state of that bench. 2 goalkeepers, 3 defenders (2 kids and one running his contract down), 2 defensive midfielders (one with no legs and running his contract down) and 5 empty seats.

3 attackers with 1 goal between them in near 60 games and not a single option to mix it up with them.

 

[United Hobbit]

Hojlund again?

Sick of the sight of him

 

[DJ_21]

Is Ugarte injured or suspended?

 

[joedirt87]

The state of our bench is something else.

 

[LawCharltonBest]

Hojlund is in undroppable form. Nobody could improve on him, even if he's injured.

 

[Ronaldo's ego]

The club could raise money by having a weekly fan raffle to win a seat on the match-day bench.
A day in the life of a benchwarmer.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

I'd have started Eriksen - he's good in Eurpe, and it would mean we actually have an attacker to bring off the bench.

 

[evil_geko]

If you are sick of watching Hojlund, don't watch the fecking game. 10 same posts ffs, "moan Hojlund this, moan Hojlund that". Same old shit every match day thread.

 

[100]

That injury list

Bayandir
Evans - Maguire - Martinez - Shaw
Mount - Ugarte - Mainoo
Diallo -

Throw in Obi and someone else and it would give our XI a game

 

[Shark]

If you are sick of watching Hojlund, don't watch the fecking game. 10 same posts ffs, "moan Hojlund this, moan Hojlund that". Same old shit every match day thread.

In fairness I don't see the benefit of playing him at all, it's just cruel on the lad at this point.

Injured.
