    We're going to get fecked by 2 or 3 and have a mountain to climb at home, the Theatre of Draws.
     
    I'd be looking to bring Pogba and Mata straight back into the side. Mkhitaryan should start, too. If Bailly is fit then the injuries shouldn't be a problem. Darmian will obviously have to come in for Shaw.

    You'd hope we can still put out something close to our strongest team.
     
    Isn't that a picture of Real Betis fans under 'Know the opposition'? Maybe I missed something. It's not even the colour they play in.
     
    Even if we had our best players available and were playing well I wouldn't be confident. Ultimate game raisers who are a good team regardless.
     
    We need to actually win here. No 1-1's as we will feck up in the second leg.

    They don't seem to be doing well at all at the moment. If we can't win this with so much riding on it we honestly want to sack a few of the players.

    Our season literally comes down to this game. A bad result here and we're not turning it around at OT.

    Sure, a young player, barely played this year, put him for a tough European away game, most important game of the season.

    He should've played today. If Damian and Blind looked like that against Swansea, one of the poorest attacking sides in the league, then goodness knows what Celta will do to them at home. Axel hasn't had any games but at least he has some vague idea about defending and how to play the position.

    How did they look exactly?
     
    These so called "game-raisers" have this season lost 4-0 to Atletico, 5-0 to Villarreal, 3-0 to Sevilla and recently 5-0 to Barcelona.

    The only worry is that they knocked Real out of the cup over 2 legs - and we could fail to beat AFC Flyde if we were give the chance.
     
    That turd Fellaini should never play again for us but no doubt he'll waddle out onto the pitch for this one due to how many injuries we have, which will limit our attacking play in a game where we'd be better off attacking than trying to defend given we'll be playing 4 fullbacks in defense, 2 of whom are actually converted wingers.

     
    Rooney will be lucky to be on the bench. Jose was throwing him a bone today with our easiest remaining game of the season and he blew it.

    At least he didn't feck up the penalty. As shit as he's been i'd rather see him play than Fellaini. God we're shit

    You're making it sound like Darmain who iirc played a CB in 3 at the back for Italy hasn't got a clue about defending yet an unexperienced 19 year old kid who hadn't played a full match for our senior team has.

    ...is what I think we'll see.

    Valencia - Tuanzebe - Blind - Darmian

    Fellaini - Herrera - Pogba

    Mkhi - Rashford - Martial
     
    I'd rest Rashford for this one. He's looked leggy and frustrated over the past couple of games.

    Romero

    Valencia, Darmian, Blind, Young

    Herrera, Fellaini, Pogba

    Mata, Martial, Mickey

    Is the way I'd go.
     
    I think bailley will play so will Pogba and mata. This team is good enough to get a result.

    Getting a 1-1 draw will be an excellent result. I don't think we can achieve anything better on their pitch. However I'm having big, big fears from this coming and feeling the worse is still to come !

    Herrera Pogba.
    Mata Fellaini Micki
    Rashford

    Hopefully Bailly is alright. The front 6 will be relatively fresh if picked!!

    I don't expect more than a draw either, but is it only me or we mostly did well in the cups this year? I feel like our game and intensity are a notch higher in these games.

    We did, yes. The conditions of this match is very difficult, though. We're entering it without any CBs it seems !

    Agreed, but I expect a bit more intensity in the middle of the park and up front. I hope that we will at least have that!
     
    Will Jose trust Tuanzebe in this one?

    With Shaw possibly being out, then maybe he'll have to play him. Or maybe he'll put Young left back, with Darmian in the middle as we saw today.
