[Remember the geese]

Yeah I'd go with the CL hymn but with altered lyrics.

 

[Real Name]

I hope, as a lesser fan, I'll find time to watch this.

I hope, as a lesser fan, I'll find time to watch this.

You are not even hiding that you are a Madrid fan.

 

[Real Name]

You are not even hiding that you are a Madrid fan.

A what?

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Casemiro and Bruno on a booking.

Hopefully Bruno comes off after 60 minutes and Casemiro is on a strict no tackling instructions.

 

[Lemon Moon]

Do yellow cards reset in the next round?

As @Lemon Moon says Casemiro is on one. I have very little confidence Casemiro will escape without a yellow card, but in the event he does, it would be nice to know it'll be reset

I believe they are wiped out after the Quarters?
So could miss the second leg of the Quarters if booked in the first.

 

[Kazi]

Get real guys, Bruno is playing 90 minutes.

So is Casemiro.

Oh and just to add, Pellestri will start on the bench.

 

[DickDastardly]

Cas will play for an hour.

Bruno will play the first half, depending on the result.

Facundo will start.

There's still Fred, Scotty and Sabitzer to play.

 

[AngeloHenriquez]

Get real guys, Bruno is playing 90 minutes.

So is Casemiro.

Oh and just to add, Pellestri will start on the bench.

This, ETH doesn't hugely rotate or rest, we will go strong from the off and if we do get a goal I think then we start to see some changes once he knows its safe on the night and I respect that, after the Pool result if we go 1 down in that arena anything can happen, we need to come out strong and put this to bed.

 

[RuudTom83]

The first half still has everything to play for, an early goal for Betis and we know the wheels can easily fall off United.

Get to half time still at 0-0 and the tie will be over enough to make wholesale changes.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Get real guys, Bruno is playing 90 minutes.

So is Casemiro.

Oh and just to add, Pellestri will start on the bench.

Not wholly convinced Bruno won't spank in 3 own goals just so he can run around for an extra 30 minutes.

 

[McGrathsipan]

I think we need to score first otherwise there could be trouble

 

[The United]

I hope we keep it tight and make it boring so that we can protect our players from getting booked and injuries.

 

[SAFMUTD]

I still think ten Hag will go full strenght. Hopefully no suspensions or injuries.

 

[SouthMancRed]

Illness may be bad this season but there might be an influx of previously undisclosed asthma cases next season depending on the new owners...

 

[Red00012]

I think we need to score first otherwise there could be trouble

We will go through comfortably

 

[RedDevil@84]

I hope we keep it tight and make it boring so that we can protect our players from getting booked and injuries.

We can fall on the floor for everything and waste time.

 

[youngrell]

Just need a good old-fashioned, Fergie-esque, European away performance with no drama. Particularly as I can't watch this evening.

 

[Licha-Vidic]

Team news..

Bruno, Pellistri, Maguire start

 

[CloneMC16]

Pellistri actually getting a start. Finally.

 

[El Zoido]

Get real guys, Bruno is playing 90 minutes.

So is Casemiro.

Oh and just to add, Pellestri will start on the bench.

Well considering we just got twatted 7-0 the other week, maybe we don’t need to rest half the squad assuming we’ll coast through. Play a strong team and get the job done.

 

[always_hoping]

Team news..

Bruno, Pellistri, Maguire start

Pellistri the only real surprise for me. Was expecting Varane to be rested.

Four changes in total from the Southampton game.

Out Varane, Shaw, Sancho, Antony

In Maguire, Malacia, Fred, Pellistri

 

[FrankDrebin]

Nice to see Pellestri get his big break.

 

[Samid]

 

[Smores]

Good to see Pellestri start, he could play a few games on the bounce if he takes his chance.

Would have liked to see Bruno and Rashford rested but hopefully they'll come off at half time.

 

[2 man midfield]

Is it weird I’m annoyed about how strong that is?

surely we could’ve at least left Rashford on the bench

 

[tomaldinho1]

Wout, never in doubt

 

[DJ_21]

Good line up. Finally get to see pellestri. Doesn’t say much for sancho though that he’s not getting picked.

 

[Prodigy24]

Delighted for Pellistri! Completely forgot that this match was starting soon and not at 20:00.

 

[Red Star One]

Delighted with Pellestri, wish Rashford was given a rest, with Bruno I know it’s impossible to tell him not to play.

 

[bosnian_red]

Would've started Sancho in for Rashford but otherwise yeah I like that.

 

[mav_9me]

Surprised to see Sabitzer not get much game time.

 

[Red Star One]

Is it weird I’m annoyed about how strong that is?

surely we could’ve at least left Rashford on the bench

Same feelings, but I’m already past the stage of thinking ETH will go with a weaker and more rotated selection in any game in his first season. Was sure he’ll go with this team

 

[calodo2003]

Damn, almost totally blanked on the early time for the game today.

 

[Sylar]

Man, I hope Casemiro and Bruno can avoid yellow cards.

 

[kentafuji]

Surprised to see Sabitzer not get much game time.

Been injured hasn't he, so no need to rush him back, and with Case suspended for weekend, makes sense to start him here over Sabitzer, as he will get his rest at the weekend

 

[top1whoisman]

Surprised to see Sabitzer not get much game time.

I think it makes sense as he just returned to training on Monday. Hope he gets some minutes in the second half.

 

[Rockets Redglare]

Surprised to see Sabitzer not get much game time.

He’s been injured, he only returned to training the last few days.

 

[Hughie77]

0-0 at half time would do, better if 1 up. Casimero off then Bruno off . Sabitzer on Mctom on. Rashford off around 60 Min mark or before. Then just see this tie off . Just don't concede an early goal to give them any impotence.

 

[TMDaines]

Too big a game for Sancho this…
