    Are Anderlecht going to put a high defensive line? So, all of a sudden, Rashford offers that much guaranties to teams that sit back? I prefer to see him starting from one of the wings and terrorize them from there.

    Just turned over and the interviewer was dying of laughter. What did he say?

    I watched the interview a few days ago, but I think it was when the interviewer asked who Ibra thought were the best forwards in the league. Ibra didn't mention himself, and when the interviewer asked why Ibra says something like "A lion doesn't compare himself to humans".

    Yeah, I just don't remember that chart ever being almost completely green. Or maybe I don't check the polls so often.

    True it hasn't been overly positive on a while. The fallout of the Chelsea game.

    This tweet makes no sense, and what Luckhurst cites to back it up doesn't say what he's claiming here.

    It does. If any of those 3 players get booked today, they miss the next game. If they don't then they don't have to worry about being suspended if they get booked in the semi final, as the cards got wiped.

    If we need him he'll come on. No doubt he'll be disappointed after prob his best game in a red shirt but obviously we're confident we can do this without risking him getting another card.

    Why will he be disappointed ? He's being rested after his massive effort on Sunday and also has a yellow already and fear of being suspended next match. It's a logical decision to keep him on the bench.

    UEFA, of course, ever so out of it, puts our formation as a 4-3-3 with Lingard as #8.

    I would like to see him as #10, though, with Mkhitaryan on the left and Rashford on the right.

    Lingard/Rashford on the wings with Micky a 10.
     
    Everybody hated the line up against Chelsea and we smashed them, everybody loves this one...

    Of course, can't imagine Herrera being disappointed at all.
     
    Need an early goal to settle the nerves. Pity we conceded last week because I cant see Anderlect scoring more than 1, but I think we may struggle to score.

    Its when we are expected to score that we seem to have trouble scoring.

    But what Uefa said is right? If they get booked they will miss the next match.

    That's not true beyond this stage, but it is tonight. I don't know why Luckhurst thinks they're talking beyond just today.

    Not everybody loved it, I find it very brave for Mourinho's standards. If the attitude isn't there, we might suffer.
     
    This interviewer couldn't be further up Zlatan's arse if he tried.

    After having his best game last weekend I'm sure he'd want to play. I would trust him to play without getting himself booked.

    I thought if Carrick was playing #6 getting back between center-backs we could feature both Valencia and Shaw, but like this is adventurous from Mourinho.

    Yes, it's certainly going to be exciting to see how we do with 2 attacking fullback's, bold move from Jose in such a big game.
     
    Got 9/11. Understand the logic behind Herrera. Just hope we don't make hard work of it. Get some early goals and get Tony Martial on.

    Fully expect us to make hard work of it tonight. After the Lord Mayor's show and all that.

    Off course we will make hard work of it. I'd be mighty surprised if we didn't.
