We were Jekyll and Hyde in the Europa league group stages last season
Thumping teams at home and then awful away.
Nothing less than 3 points will do.Be nice to be able to beat them this time, hopefully but I think we willWin is a must, don't want another jittery group stages round. Let us get the job done early.Who is this 1% who predicted us losing 5-0 ?

Please no more 433, it just doesnt work.
Some people amaze me. It takes 1 bad game and suddenly your Tom Cleverly.Are FC Basel a threat? I genuinely don't know much about them at the moment. Who are likely to be the dangerous players for them?
I went for 3-1 coz I do believe we could rinse them but could see a sneaky goal as Smalling/Lindelof haven't played yet this season and the latter has come in for criticism, could see a shaky start from him. Wouldn't be surprised to see us go 0-1 down inside 10mins but then hammer them.We must bounce back from this latest setback..Show the character we have...
Schoolboy defending will not win games, and our full backs need coaching in how to cross a ball..Romero

They haven't won an away game in the CL since 2015, which was against Lech Poznan. Before that they recorded a win against Chelsea in 2013. We haven't lost a home game in the CL since 2013. Granted you have to take into account absences from the competition, but we really should be picking up the 3 points.
Surely you'd have Mata on the right? That team should be too strong for them, they haven't won any of their last three games in the league.I hope we Chamberlain them proper.
Smalling Lindelof pair worries me a bit.Last edited:Working a 16pm till midnight shift so missing all of it.

Finally. We need to be very positive.
Better to play them now rather than the league games?I can't wait to hear the CL anthem againLet's see how we bounce back after a disappointing result and performance.

Is how I'm expecting us to line up (not my own preferences)Last edited:Only two days until this game and United's return to the CL
Hope to see a much better performance than the crap at Stoke.
4-2-3-1 please. Martial to start.De Gea
Lindelof....Smalling....Darmian
Pogba........Matic
Valencia..........Mkhitaryan............Martial
Marcus....LukakuWhat about Basel? Awful, decent, good?Any idea how to buy a ticket if I don't have the club membership? I'm planning to visit Old Trafford next March but I'm coming from Egypt so I need to be prepared early because Visa may takes some times. Thanks.
It doesn't work with Matic in it. Swap with Carrick and watch Pogba and Herrera beast the middle. Matic is suited to a 2 man midfield
They've got you working some crazy hours.We will win. Can't wait for this.
I notice that they lost at home to Lausanne yesterday. Not a sign they are in great form.Who is this 1% who predicted us losing 5-0 ?
To be filed with the clowns predicting us winning by loads. I think they got the Burton game by accidentBasel are not in great form.
3rd place in the league
7 games, 11 points, 12 scored and 9 conceded
League Form: LWWWDDL
Ricky van Wolfswinkel has scored 7 in 7 and is their best player probably.
We should trash themDe GeaThink that's got a good balance to it, and allows a bit of rotation for a few players as well. Should be more than enough quality to win the game.

Chances we'll see Shaw off the bench?Posted in the Tickets thread as well, but work is sending me to Manchester from Monday through until Wednesday and with us being home, would love to take in the game. If anyone knows of or can advise on how to get ticket for the game, it would be appreciatedSo the only two players I recognise are FM legend Eder Alvarez Balanta amd Ricky van Wolfspenis. Who else to watch for?Is Shaw likely to be back ? He played for the reserves a couple of weeks back, didnt he?
We need him.De Gea

LukakuLets mark our return to the CL with a 4-0 under the OT floodlights
Fingers crossed, we can do exactly this.
I hope Jose tells our players that their performance against Stoke is not acceptable and players who continue to play that way, will be benched and eventually moved out.
Van Wolfswinkel is bang average, like really really average.
Im feeling quite indifferent to the CL, think this tournament has lost his spark and glamour in the past few years, very few enjoyable matches and shake-ups in hierarchy.
Lets just start with beating Basel with good football, has been a while again.De Gea

Hopefully a rusty CB partnership doesn't cost us.
I don't get this mentality, everyone was dying to be back in it a few months ago!- Status
