I like Camavinga coming from the bench but I'm not sure about Modric as a starter. I guess it would be worth it if we can score in the first half of the game.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?

So him relegating Burnley but sticking to his style was the right call as it got him noticed.
has refereeing always been so bad. we know its awful in the PL - the worst in my lifetime - but it seems so few matchdays go by now without one howler or another. For the dortmund one, maybe the ref thought he saw contact from his angle in real time, but why is it not fixed. Its arguably decided the game and is such a clear error
Dortmund are doing this again where they sit back and try to conserve a lead rather than focus on counter attacking. They suck at it and will likely concede.
For him. Don't know about Burnley.
What sticks out about him are his man management and his charisma. He comes across as an extremely likable dude and the team is really buying into his approach. That's where Nagelsmann and Tuchel struggled the most, I think.
Dortmund actually done it
I'm shocked last years runners up have made the quarters
The three Ls who finished in the top 8 in the Champions league table (Leverkusen,Lille,Liverpool) all out after the first knock out round.
Classic Dortmund. Can have the worst of seasons in the league, but somehow in the CL they suddenly figure out how to play football.
This, but unironically
Deserved win for Dortmund but jeez there were a couple of brainless moments from them towards the end.
Ryerson crossing the ball out of play, rather than just wasting time, with just 2 mins of extra time left and no one near him on the wing. Also Chukuwemka trying to dribble the ball out of pressure rather than pass to an open Ozcan.

Please Villa, do not choke
They're bottom half in Bundesliga, aren't they?

Wonder if anybody bar Arsenal fans will be watching Arsenal?
Just seen that, turned to Villa game for time being anyway.
Yes, and their last match was a 0-1 to mighty Augsburg.
Carlo doesn’t really trust Camavinga and usually prefers his favorites. This includes ancient Modric.
10th, so only just bottom half, yeah. They've been dreadful again this season, so being surprised how they are faring in the CL is not without reason.
I'm honestly torn putting it on a second screen and watch the Madrid game. 3 left backs, almost a full B team and 6 goals up will make this a bore.
Is it one of the most pointless games they have ever played.
Brilliant atmosphere at Villa Park.
28 seconds wow
What a start!
Wow. Did not expect that.
Wow.
Gallagher has given Atletico the lead.
Nice…
Wow
England 1 up!
Disaster
What at atmosphere in Madrid
An absolute sham that the English media say Anfield is some sort of special place on a European night when you see this

Lovely start. Come on Atletico, don't feck this up.
Mad how the Metropolitano is smaller than old Trafford, it looks massive
Aww yis, come on Atletico!
It’s about time they shithoused themselves to a CL title. They’re who I’m cheering for anyway.
Is the buck from Anfield agenda the ref?
This'll be a tasty tie now.
Arsenal 8-1 up on aggregate.
