I know what Ole will do. He will believe he can overturn it and put his best team out. City may well rotate. It might not be as much a spanking as we think. Sit very deep with our best team, play on the counter, you never know.

I’ve a feeling it will be 3 at the back again.
Similar line up to Tranmere game
DDG In for Sergio
Fred In for pereira
Mata in for LingardTie is over and all I'm looking for is a decent performance whereby United make themselves harder to score against and beat than they were in Old Trafford for the 1st leg.Let's go oldschool 442
Romero
AWB Maguire Lindelof Shaw
Dalot Fred Pereira James
Greenwood Martial
Actually naw feck this. We're done. Bring in the leftovers:
Grant
Dalot Bailly Tuanzebe Williams
Pereira Garner Gomes
James Greenwood ChongLast edited:
They only count double after extra-time, wish it was the same in the Champions League and Europa League.Would quite fancy our chances of overturning the deficit if we had a fully fit squad, but as we don't have time to go young, just tell 'em to go out there and express themselves, if they get shown their backsides, so what?
Romero
Timbo Bailly(Cpt.) Mengi
Dalot Garner Levitt Williams
Chong Greenwood Gomes
Tuanzebe for Mengi if he's fitSimilar lineup and formation to Tranmere, except Fred for Pereira.3-1 them again.DDG
AWB Lindelof Maguire
Dalot Lingard Mata Fred Williams
Greenwood Martial
Subs: James - Shaw - PereiraI don't think ole trusts Greenwood yet, he will not start.Think it'll be 2-0... they'll wang in two early doors, then proceed to save energy, and we'll do the same.
Theres no extra time. If its level after 90 minutes then its straight to penalties.When we inevitably get knocked out - probably picking up an injury or 2 in the meantime - and fail to sign anyone before the window shuts, our home against Wolves on the weekend is going to be poisonous. As in, it would probably unsafe, let alone unwise, for Woodward to show up.
Must be a recent change them, shame as that rule was the only thing the League Cup had going for it.Romero
AWB--Lindelof--Bailly
Dalot--Fred--Matic--Williams
Lingard--Martial--James
Subs: Grant; Jones, Shaw; Garner, Pereira, Gomes; Greenwood2-0 and then we win late on penalties. Jones score the winner as our last guy and Bravo miss for them.Get the first goal and they'll shit themselves.
Matic is outThey'll take a shit on us from a great height.
Baldamort isn't going to pass up an opportunity for an easy trophy like this in a season where they have been well beaten.2 pages 24 hours before a manc derby
You’d swear we were signing someone.....
Really? That reduces our chances even further. Our might midfield with Lingard and Pereira last time did so bloody well.
3 man defense is the only solution I think. Still we are forced to play either Lingard or Pereira in midfield.My bros a blue and invited me to the game, but I passed.
Please make me regret my decision, United!I think we are in for an absolute smacking. Our only hope is if City fields a bunch of kids and then those kids have an off day. We really shouldn't be risking too many first team players for this. We are so threadbare we should focus on the league position. We need to score 3 at their ground while keeping a clean sheet - it's not gonna happen.——————Romero——————

I know we're stretched, but only 6 on the bench, we're not Man City you know!Sweepstake on what minute the camera scans to the directors box to show Bruno?Just have to hope we score first and it all rolls our way.
Ah sorry mate. I knew there was something wrong, just couldn’t put my finger on it.Think we've as much chance of going through as Guardiola has of filling the Etihad for every game.
https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...-full-for-every-game-manchester-city-footballI had a dream that we were 2-0 up at half time, then we won 4-1.
I also regularly dream that I'm saving the world though... so you know.
If we do win 4-1 though, the pressure on you will be immense afterwards.
Well the World's still here , isn't it?
Away goals aren’t counted at all though, so a 0-2 scoreline would take it straight to penalties.Start Bruno!If I was picking the team, I'd go with:
-----------------------Romero------------------
AWB-------Jones---------Maguire-------Williams
--------------------Fred-----Garner--------------------
Dalot----------------Lingard--------------------James
-------------------------Martial----------------------------
Not much chance to qualify, but I'd like to see us really go at them for the first 20 minutes and try to get an early goal. Really have nothing to lose. Effort, intensity and intent is the minimum.My heart says that a PSG performance is due, a perfect performance, as Ole would say, but my head tells me another 3-1 loss.Hopefully Pep underestimate us and starts with Bravo, Stones, Sterling and David Silva. That gives us hope if Aguero and Laporte is not playing too.
He will start De Bryune sadly, but as long as we can stop him then we might be able to get a 2-0 win and then win on penalties.If we get the first goal then who knows. The problem is I don’t think we will
Is Garner fit? I would start him in place of Matic, we don't have many choices.Confirmed Manchester United squad members as spotted by MEN photographers.
