When you are in a lead , that's how you hold the ball and not invite flurry of pressure for giving opposition the confidence and ball to come back into the game. We should learn to differentiate between the positives and negatives of certain style and use it to our advantage, lvgs methods did have huge positives to and throwing them away is arrogance and naiveity.

You have a point but let's face it, possession only counts when you actually do something with the ball.

Oh Lord, not tonight. He, along with his players, had a shocker tonight, second half particularly. Protect what you have or take the initiative, that was his choice in the second half and his message couldn't have been clearer. I'm so disappointed with him tonight.

Yes and fellani contributed to it loosing all the control in midfeild with his bad please positions. Okay he scored a goal , but he forgot his main job is to control the midfeild and keep pressing high. He instead was roaming in both final thirds receiving the goal kicks and dropping deep to defend the longballs. Totally lost the midfeild in second half.

What's wrong with holding the ball circulating it and keeping possession and trying to score a goal which could kill the game and knock the stuffing out of the opposition. When you are in a lead and a comfortable lead That is what you should do, keep the ball ,circulate it , play from the back and keep creating chances and deny opposition the ball, specially against a possession based opponent who win it back quickly.

Sigh.

On what grounds will Celta win 2-1 at Old Trafford???!!!

There is no shred of evidence that they can pull that off! Absolutely None.

Even when we struggled at home, we never lost (except against City and Celta is no City at all).

We have played six at home and won all six in the EL. We have an away goal so they will play open football against us at Old Trafford. We like that.

We clearly have a stronger squad, a more experienced manager, and we are desperate. The bookmakers have us odds on to win. The pundits have us odds on to win. Even Celta de Vigo fans have us odds on to win.

So, how in the world will they come to Old Trafford and beat us 2-1???

Yes, football is crazy and anything can happen but if they pull it off, it will be one of those rare occurrences like Barca over turning a 4-0 deficit against PSG or Leicester City winning the premier league kind of stuff. These illustrations are not far from reality in this scenario because we are talking about Celta de Vigo here not Real Madrid or even Arsenal.

I think we really need to calm down, have some faith, give the team super support and enjoy the game.

3-1 United.

I'd say I was closer than you.

Please yourself mate.

The important thing is that, like I said, we are heading to the finals.

Here's another prediction: United will beat Ajax.
