Celta Vigo 0:1 Manchester United

Spark · May 4, 2017

Celta Vigo's last four home games:

L - Ath. Bilbao (0-3)
L - Betis (0-1)
W - Genk (3-2)
L - Eibar (0-2)

While I appreciate that they will be fired up - and I'm definitely not at all confident of a fluent, assured performance from United - Celta Vigo have only beaten Genk and Granada away in their last eight games.

There are absolutely no excuses for losing this, regardless of injuries.

I can see Mourinho parking the bus and just hitting on the counter attack for the first leg

They have been resting players for Uefa cup.

togg · May 4, 2017

This will be a hard match. They have rested their top players spread over the last 5 or 6 games, even not letting them travel with the team on away matches so they will supposedly be very fresh. Plus they press high and relentlessly. However, this can leave them exposed at the back. Think it will be a bit of an onslaught at the beginning. I'm presuming Mourinho is going to tell us to contain them and hit them on the break.

They are still 11th in the league and have had the luxury of resting players in the league because they've been a bit shit domestically.

I agree tactically but it won't be a defensive shutdown. Not with our form at OT at the minute. He'll be looking to leave with a two away goal lead so we can shut them out at Old Trafford. So we'll be looking to throw players forward.

shaky · May 4, 2017

I'm looking forward to seeing all the people who are forecasting our defeat acting all outraged afterwards, despite us coming away with a very creditable score draw at minimum.

notcool · May 4, 2017

They're very like the Bilbao we lost to, aren't they?

Good luck, United! I think you'll need it. These Galician cnuts will raise their game tonight no doubt.

What about the ones setting up the old "x number of injurys or not there is no excuse not to beat a team in Europe blah blah"

That's all the angles covered then. But you won't hear from us should we get a result

DatGuyRich · May 4, 2017

Both Barca and Real play styles of football that allow Celta to have success.

We will defend well and look to hit them on the counter every single time.

3-1 United.

These results mean nothing, they have been resting players for this game.
Tonight is going to be harder that these results would suggest

2-1 to us, lets do it.

I just don't think we have a chance versus Barca or Madrid.

Nope, not close. Bilbao of three or four seasons ago were a top 6 team and played aggressive football. Celta Vigo are a decent possession based team but we have the players to cause them problems.

And we miss chances for fun.

It's going to be a really close game.

You're right we do, however, recently we've been getting goals earlier than usual so I expect us to continue the trend and I do feel like our players will perform and stick them away knowing what's on the line.

manichester · May 4, 2017

Why shouldn't we raise our game it is a European trophy semi final?

They are on the downward spiral in the last three months. Think they won only 3 in the last 12 games in La Liga with 7 defeats. Aren't particularly convincing in Europe either. Not that we've been consistent enough to make it an easy tie, mind.

That's encouraging. Surely it won't be easy but ultimately we really should beat them.

NotoriousISSY · May 4, 2017

Mkhitaryan will score. That's the only prediction I can make in regards to the Europa League.

RedMaestro · May 4, 2017

I've missed out on info the last couple of days. Are Jones and Smalling ready for a game tonight? Or are they just in the squad because Mourinho 'has to have a certain amount of players'?

Don't think that's the case. Didn't Rostov come to OT with 15 fit players or something? We could easily fill the required quota from our squad list and those who can come in from u18s?

Celta play aggressive, high pressing football. Berizzo played under Bielsa at Newell's. And Bilbao finished 10th in La Liga when they beat us.

I have gone with Romero, I see no reason to drop him.

I've chosen DDG. These last games in the Europa League can count as a final and in such games I'm sure Mourinho would pick de Gea every time. I'm aware of Romero's contributions, but he's still the 'back-up'.

But who knows. We'll see in a while.

In case United get defeated tonight: Can you give us an outlook on your post-match reaction? Like that you'll apologize to those who were more pessimistic (or realistic?) than you or anything similar? TIA

So they could be ready to play tonight? Or will Mourinho still go with Bailly and Blind? That is if they are fit.

JonDahl · May 4, 2017

I can't see us getting a clean sheet and our poor ability to score makes me think we'll lose.

I'll take a 1-1.
