True! I think we can get past them though but it depends on how our defence is looking after yesterdays game.
It's part of the game and what Arteta and Pep refer to as the dark arts. Just coach the players into winning tactical fouls and not conceding tactical fouls on the press.Just read we can't play Obi in the Europa, he isn't registered. That could be tricky.Can this season just end? I'm sick of football and everything to do with football. Can't wait for the season to end and I can just enjoy life.
I say that, but on Thursday I'll be full of belief and hope for a five minute period before kick-offOnana

I will happily hammer the club for many things, however not for this as they wouldn't have expected to use him this season.
Oh yeah, I wouldn't expect the club to foresee that a 17-year-old might be arguably our most dangerous striker at this point in the season - but here we are.With all the injuries and unregistered players, I have a tough time even picking 3 subs. Yuck.
Anyone coming back fit for this?
Yeah in hindsight they should have included him in A squad as wasn't eligible for B one
Now this, I can get behindhttps://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/clubs/52682--man-utd/squad/
If this is correct we don’t have a sub GK available for Thursday night ?
Pathetic isn't it. Haven't we learned yet from the previous 30+ games this seasonCan this season just end? I'm sick of football and everything to do with football. Can't wait for the season to end and I can just enjoy life.

He will get minutes in the league and Rasmus is actually decent in the EL for some reason. Although I can't see him turning it on and off like that there was flicker yesterday when he was playing at pace in the first half and he nearly found his way through once or twice but he needs to be much sharper when the ball comes to him.
Not really, but we need the CL money to sign players.Obi not registered, is it safe to assume the same for Heaven?
I think Heaven is, as is Dorgu and 1 more got chosen as the 3 new ones for the knockouts
No idea on who that other one is?Lets hope they surprise us, leave the turgid football at Old Trafford and turn up.we aspire to be like Real Sociedad.
I think we can shithouse our way to a 1-1 draw.
Pretty sure it was Jack fletcher but not sure.Trust us to get a Spanish club.
With no CL teams allowed in the EL we have to be looking to win this competition despite how badly we've been for most of the season.Onana

I can understand it in some ways given how shite we are but the frustrating thing is that it's Real Sociedad and possibly Lyon in the next round if we make it. Decent teams but it's not exactly Arsenal or City (and we've beaten both of them away this season). If we keep it at a draw away from home then I'm hoping OT will see us through the following week.Why does this game kick off at 5:45 ffs.Its a Spanish team. I will be suprised if we finish the game with 11 men.Onana

Early kick offs are great when you work from home...............Onana
.....De Ligt...Maguire...Yoro...
....Dalot...Ugarte...Casemiro...Dorgu
....Zirkzee...Garnacho...Bruno.
Dropping Hojlund to the bench to be replaced by Garnacho as striker peeling off to the left.
Garnacho hasn't been brilliant but we just cannot keep picking Rasmus Hojlund.Real Sociedad at home in Europe this season.
Lost 2-1 v Anderlecht
Won 2-0 v Ajax
Won 3-0 v Dynamo Kyiv
Won 2-0 v PAOK
Won 5-2 v Midtjylland
In La Liga their home record is P13 W6 D2 L5so who did we put in the gaps left by Rashford and Antony?

Yeah, I think they have a decent chance of pulling off a result. Agree that we should be thrashing a team like this, but that’s not where we are. Hopefully the collective psyche of the forum heals a bit soonish (or develops some scar tissue). Some people in here maybe need to find a hobby that makes them less miserable.
The question is whether in February we should have anticipated that he’d be more useful than an extra midfielder or an extra defender. Given that Wheatley is one of our registered forwards, and isn’t currently at the club, an extra forward does seem as though it might have been the better choice.Easy loss.
Yeah once Wheatley went out on loan along with the possibility of Rashford leaving we should have registered Obi when the window closed
