Tough one. You'd think AWB would be better suited to handling a player like ASM, but on the other hand Newcastle play quite a low block, so maybe Dalot would be better suited to help break them down.

It's going to be Dalot, of course. Some players have to be changed from Thursday night and Dalot coming in is an obvious move.BBCs crescendo of Newcastle coverage stretching back to the quarterfinals is coming to a head. This afternoon we have had the legendary Shay Given, lauding the Karius redemption arc story which is imminent, and given us half an hour justification why Newcastle deserve the victory.
Elsewhere plucky little Saudi Arabia FC are being characterised as a kind of modern Oliver Twist style club, making history against some nameless behemoth who are only in this story to present a villain to overcome.
Fair enough. De Gea's is 18% which is higher than I thought.
Karius has saved 1 of his last 10 and De Gea has actually saved 2 of the last 10.
Not a huge amount of conclusions to be drawn there really.
Baffling. This club is about winning. We need to get back to winning trophies. It’s a massive game.Excited and nervous. Butterfly’s in the stomach. What a feeling.
Come on United
Ffs come on lads, gotta win this. Really gotta start strong and just batter them in the first fifteen, quieten their fans and get the game won.
Haha yea talksport has been like that for daysUnited 'leaked' XI
There is also a 'leaked' United XI ahead of kick-off, with official team news expected in half an hour. As always this is not confirmed and could change.
United 'leaked' XI: De Gea, Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw, Fred, Casemiro, Fernandes, Antony, Rashford, Weghorst
Yep exactly, I just can't understand people with that attitude, you'd swear we were winning league titles and UCL every season for the past few years or something still.Weggy
Nothing against him but I don’t want him starting.
What does that actually mean?
We take part in a number of competitions season in, season out, all of which are 'proper' trophies to be won. The idea that only two matter and that the Europa League, FA Cup, League Cup, etc, are 'noise' is a weird attitude that I don't even understand. What's just 'noise' about the major domestic cups, or the second biggest European competition?
I think it's obvious he startsWeggy Nothing against him but I don’t want him starting.
Weghorst is there because they can't dirty him.
He's clearly doing something right considering our current form.Weggy Nothing against him but I don’t want him starting.
Some people are just unbelievably entitled it seems. Thankfully our manager and players don't have the same attitude.I hope today is the day Weghorst shows us what ETH sees.I’d rather Weggy came off the bench and bagged a late winner.
How Wout still plays is beyond me. He is awful
Agreed. Newcastle are the team that conceded the least amount of goals in the Premier League by far this season so we'll need more in attack and Dalot is the right choice for me too. I also think instead of being concerned about stopping ASM we should focus on our game more.
I think Dalot for AWB will be the only change from Barcelona game. Maybe Antony for Sancho too but that should be it.
He's a team player. Much prefer him up there than Ronaldo, who was complete the opposite.
I don’t mind as it gives us firepower off the bench. Rather Sancho/ Garnacho off the bench than Wout.Was hoping to see Sabitzer in there to focus on nullifying their Bruno.
Doesn't matter really does it.
If he is doing what EtH asks of him then what we think is irrelevant.
I thought it was clear already, Ten Hag values his work rate, he can press and he's generally annoying to play against. He's playing the Fellaini role without the elbows. He did well at Camp Nou but because he didn't replicate that in the 2nd leg, people automatically think he's shite.
This is the only thing I really like about Mou as a manager he never downplayed any trophy. His view was that getting to a final in it self was pretty hard and winning it was even harder. Absolute bullshit that a trophy isn't something to cherish.https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...ball-quiz-manchester-united-newcastle-wembley
9/20
Got the first 7 (actually, it was the first 6, then 8th, then the 17th, and then the last. Madre mia.
Yep. We play shite when he’s on the pitch and then win the game once he goes off. Been working well.Weirdly think this is the one for Wout?
Yep fair point. He has a specific task.
I don't think he's shite. He just slows the game down and we saw the difference at Camp Nou when he was subbed. Slowing the game down isn't necessarily a bad thing and each opponent needs a different type of play. It all depends on what type of play ETH wants for this particular game. It's either fast fast attack or a tactical much slower game.
Nothing bizarre about that. I feel the same way: a European tie against Barcelona just hits different.
Hi. What's the source for this? Thanks.No complaints about the team really, glad Antony is starting. Hopefully Weggy has a blinder, if not we’ve got options on the bench.- Status
