The "must use pace" argument does irritate me.
Pace is one thing, but I'd take clinical finishing over pace, every time.
Lukaku, Ibra, Costa, Kane - all leading scorers in the EPL - none of them particularly fast.
The likes of Martial, Rashford, Wallcot, etc - very fast but don't score many goals.

I can only think that some fans believe that dribbling/running fast is more important than actually scoring goals!

3/4 you mentioned are definitely 'fast'.

Pacey strikers can also become great finishers - Henry or Ronaldo (original) - and that makes them unplayable at times.
Great finishers who don't have pace can't really 'learn' to be fast - for example Ole or Bergkamp

We will score 8 goals tonight. Mark my words.

Minus Jose, how many of our players in today's starting eleven have won the Europa Title or Champions League title before?

Why?

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.

I'm predicting 3-0 to Celta but hope that's me being a female.

No I dont, however he has played well with a high line often enough.

Are you saying you don't have blind trust? Eh? Eh?

There's nothing wrong with Romero?? 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.

I predicted de Gea, but happy to see Romero starting. Jose has appreciated the fact he helped us come this far and trusts him to take us further as well.

Important message to send, especially with all those rumours around de Gea.

Mourinhonista · May 4, 2017

I think we'll win today. Everyone is surely focused and we simply have the quality to just do it. Mata and Martial coming off the bench whenever we feel like it.

stretford_oslo · May 4, 2017

I watched both Celtas quarter finals, they didn't impress at all. Expect us to win comfortably over two legs.

10 is the target, 8 is far too low.

Nah...knowing a small bit about them, it's a possibility.....but if we play like we did against Chelsea we'll be more than alright. We just need to contain their high tempo pressing.....which unfortunately we haven't been great at this season. But who knows......fingers crossed.

Yeah I agree! We need double figures due to our home form.

FFS Fellaini

This. Why is he always there to break my heart?

Good team. Loving the midfield. A good balance. Creativity, energy, strength, etc.

Still can't believe we've got Pogba.

Nice to see Smalling on the bench. Reckon he'll start against Arsenal.

You're too positive mate! No mention of Fellaini and Lingard?!

They are notorious game raisers.

I would be surprised if we handled them easily.

I'm kind of nervous for the 1st leg.

Same here, one of those matches where it costs a lot mentally to be a supporter. Chugging beers like crazy to cope.

DDG to score the winner in injury time, fecking hell! I'm still laughing! :lol:

When's the last time we've won a game in Spain?

I recall our recent record being brutal.

No point mate. Just enjoy the ride. We can all lose our collective minds if we shit the bed tonight.

Normally the same with me, altough a Chianti. During football though I wallow in beers and coke.
