    I think we get smashed, especially if our wing backs get pinned back, leaving two in midfield - Bruno and Casemiro. We saw it against Spurs and I see the same thing happening again.
     
    Just looking at the bench. It got me thinking…

    Does anyone know the rules regarding how many players you have to have in your match day squad?

    I know this would never happen but if a manager wanted to, could they play a game with no one on the bench?
     
    Quite nice to see Collyer back. At least when Casemiro is breathing out of his arse after 20 minutes we can look forward to having somebody who can still run on in his place.

    Officially I don't think there's anything stopping them.
     
    I’ve had the absolute worst day in recent time. Came home fuming, had bought some beers, I dropped one can on the floor and it sprayed all over the fecking kitchen and living room as well. Spent 50 minutes cleaning up, and I’ve yet to do two hours of work this evening as well.

    Whenever I’ve had shit days which is actually very rare and United have been playing, they’ve always overperformed. So with this I’m jinxing it so we’ll obviously lose. Can’t wait to do some work after the loss.
     
    I sincerely hope Arkaitz Mariezkurrena Etxezarreta and Luken Beitia Aguirregomezcorta get off the bench for them, just to punish Savage, "Fletch" or whatever other cnuts are on comms.
     
    Come on United.

    We all know we're not very good but I'm hanging my hat on our lack of physicality not being as much of a issue in this competition. Someone needs to put the ball in the back of the net though.
     
    Has to rely on the starting 11 , if they can't do it be a long evening again, there's nothing off the bench to change a game so it's suck it and see.

    On another point tickets available for the home tie general sales, plus tickets for nearly all the remaining home fixtures maybe members only for the rest but there are absolutely a country full of seats left so far bar the City game .. I think if you want a ticket you probably get one .

    Probably the first time in my life I’ve seen that tickets are available and my first thought is, nah, you're ok. Are they still £60+?
     
    If ever there were a time for Rasmus to rediscover her European form, this would be it...
     
    The difference with the bench now is it’s mostly zero depth except a few talented kids.

    Compared to a few months ago when it was a bit of depth but they are overpaid and not good enough.

    If the players on loan can get sold the remainly squad looks a lot easier to build upon.

    *Trying to put a positive spin on it.

    Here's another difference: That bench has zero attackers on it. Why oh why.
     
    Thought that was Ben Foster in goal for them then
