    What is the meaning of this silly kick off time? :mad:
     
    Super excited, this is why

    Barcelona's Araujo is one of my favourite defenders in world football. The prospect of him defending against Rashford is a mouth-watering prospect.

    The standard of the Europa League is increasing each year. We've got Man Utd on the brink of resurgence, exceedingly dangerous on the transition, and a Barcelona side that has arguably the strongest defence and midfield in Europe.

    Can't wait. Such a pity Martial and Dembele are injured.

    They wouldn't play you today, if that were the case.
     
    Just want to enjoy the game, be competitive, and hope the players both enjoy and embrace the occasion. No injuries or suspension's please.

    Why do they include the goalkeeper on the formations as well. Who does that.

    Why wouldn't they? Those are the expected starting line-ups and I am fairly certain both teams will include a goalkeeper.

    I'm not sure what team EtH would put out. I kinda hope he puts out our 2nd stringers / reserve players in the hope we get a 0-0.

    So something like...

    DdG

    Malacia
    Lindelof
    Maguire
    AWB

    Casemiro (needs the match practice)
    Scott (if fit)

    Garnacho
    Bruno
    Sancho

    Wout

    I would have Shaw over Lindelof or Maguire at CB any day!
     
    think we’ll go as strong as possible for tonight’s game. We need to get a result to bring back to OT. Next weeks line up will be interesting, we’ll probably go strong again but then we have the final next weekend so don’t want to risk any injuries.
     
    European royalty meeting each other again.

    Make or break for ETH this. He needs to prove does he have what it takes to takes us to another level.
     
    Mutv showing 07 08 semi, scholes just scored :D

    Forgot Rooney didnt start!
     
    Hoping for a Varane-Shaw CB pair and not either Maguire or Lindelof with Varane.

    As in 1-4-3-3 or 1-4-4-2?

    Clearly it must be a Spanish thing, I’ve never noticed it written like that.

    So annoying this is on at that time. Feels like it takes away from the occasion.

    Pain in the arse, my missus is working and stepson has football training at 6.00pm-6.45pm, meaning I'll miss the first 15 minutes while I'm driving there, and the first 15 minutes of the second half while I drive home again. I'll then have to watch the first half on my bastard phone in the car.
     
    Honestly think it will be something like this:

    De Gea
    Dalot Varane Shaw Malacia
    Casemiro Fred
    Bruno Wout Sancho
    Rashford​

    Those 5 players behind Rashford are all hard working.. let them do the dirty work and let Rashford be the main threat. Only slight question mark is Dalot or AWB.. the rest picks itself.

    Set off 15 mins earlier you'll only miss 15 of the second half.
     
    This is gonna be tough but if we can stay within touching distance with them tonight I’m more confident with the second leg with a few more bodies available.Just don’t lose the tie tonight.

    COME ON :devil:

    I understand your frustration. I will be back around 20.30 pm.

    A draw would be an amazing result for us.
