    I hope we attack. A high scoring draw would do nicely. 2-2.

    Yep.
    But knowing us, we will struggle to score, so 1-1 would be acceptable for me. Unfortunately, in attack, we are terribly weak.
     
    Lingard starting in a European semi final. I predict him running down blind alleys for 60 mins before being shipped off. Away goal crucial obviously, we need to finish our chances.
     
    You are missing my point. What I find strange is you feel the need to ask fans if they are still watching United? Well yes, we are all fans here aren't we? Just because you have decided to not support your team through tough times, doesn't mean others will do the same. I found it strange. Yes. I do also find it strange you have given up on the team you support, but that's just me mate. Each to their own I suppose.


    Oh, I get you.

    Don't go all 'United faithful' on me now mate. :)

    I appreciate fans who are still watching and they should. It's great. My response to the initial poster was sarcastic in nature. Maybe I didn't make it sarcastic enough so I guess I understand why you took my 'tuning off' comment literally. Of course I expect fans to still be watching the games and supporting the team.

    For those of us who lack the heart of stone, we'll enjoy the Celta de Vigo match and peep at the Arsenal game from afar. :D
     
    Silly to not start DDG in this IMO. Why take the risk?

    There's nothing wrong with Romero?? :confused: No risk at all, none more so than Fellaini. At least Smalling isn't starting.

    Anyway, I got 8/11. Should be ok with that line up.
     
    Pogba to score :eek:
    Pogba to hit the woodwork, multiple times, more like...:p

    Kinda hoping he ups his game for the semi's - got a lot of rest too. I still think it's because of him and Lingard fooling around all the time playing crossbar challenges in training.
     
    This kind of thinking is nonsense, IMHO. The future of Man United is dependent on winning this trophy and getting into the CL. How we are happy to risk it, so we don't offend a mediocre to good goalie is absolutely beyond me.

    If there's one manager who you'd think would drop a keeper without care of offending, you'd think it would be Jose. So maybe there's more to it then that. Anyhow, while De Gea is the better keeper, he's gone with Romero and personally I back Jose's decision. Romero is very good keeper, who's actually been the keeper throughout and we've gotten this far. I don't get this notion that it's a 'risk'... a risk based on what evidence exactly?
     
    Minus Jose, how many of our players in today's starting eleven have won the Europa Title or Champions League title before?
     
    JFC anyone else like really nervous about this game? I know I'm a miserable pessimist when it comes to United but this is not a game I look forward to. I will sit on needles during the game.

    I think it's going to be much more tough than people imagine. I'm hoping we can contain their obvious pressing. But we also have players who can really hurt......so I'm hoping it's our night.
     
    Three games that matter this season, then players can go and enjoy their holidays. Please just get us a result tonight!
     
    Noggie tv doing a review of Celta's attacking in the studio now and feck me do they look poisonus going forward, quick and decisive passing with no dwelling on the ball and intense pressure high up the pitch.

    We are playing the Spanish Liverpool.
     
    We could have 11 injuries and field the same side according to Owen. I think his point was there aren't stand out players and they are as good / bad as each other but man he butchered that point
