Put Hanibal Mejbri in the squad. Did more in 5 mins today, than Donny did all season.

Axel not starting over Bailly would be a mistake. He has nervy moments, but he's more solid and composed overall, much less rash.
Nice that our season isn't over yet!
Come on lads. Bring it home.

I was thinking the top seed for Cl group stage is worth feck all to us with all of the lower sides doing well in their leagues
Pot 2 is stacked. Could end up being Real Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla, PSG, Chelsea, Liverpool, Dortmund, Juventus. In comparison, Pot 1 is City, Atletico, Bayern, Internazionale, Lille, Sporting CP, Zenit.
It's actually worse (for next seasons draw) winning it and being pot 1 then 
.
Let's just get it won which will be tough without Maguire.

Will need to wipe down that trophy to get all the grease and scum off it before giving it to Ole to lift.
The photo is from 4 years ago.
Although Donny was better than him yesterday which makes the comment even more bizarre
A big boost psychologically if we win this - the first trophy under OGS and an excellent springboard into the next season.
They beat Arsenal who beat us so we shouldn't consider them an easy opponent.

Moral support only.
Genuinely think Ole starting Maguire is something he'd do. I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest.
He was on crutches on Sunday. Do you really think he'll play?
I just said I did! Ole loves a mind game, and Maguire is desperate to play. As I said, I wouldn't be surprised if he plays, do I think he should? Logically speaking no. But then Rashford has played all season and looked half fit, so...
Why name him in the playing squad then?
If Maguire plays and costs us, then there will be fecking hell to raise. I don’t care how much of a “warrior” he is or how bad he wants to be out there, playing injured players in the hopes of some storyline is delusional and unacceptable
And if he plays and wins us the game? Or isn't that a possibility
Freeloader!
He’s only playing if he can: run,jump, head, tackle,sprint etc.
And unless there has been some really good bluffing behind the scenes, he’s only going because he’s still captain and a good personality to have around the team.
We did the same with Zlatan 4 years ago.
Maguire is in the squad because as Ole has already said, he'll be giving him every opportunity to make it, upto and including the last training session on Tuesday.
He can still go though and not be named in the squad..
This is a must win. It will cement our progress if we do.
Similarly lose and it will be a big set back.
Need the trophy monkey off of our back badly.
It's about the best final you could ask for in terms of how winnable it is. Short of getting a Cityesesque domestic final against a lower league side we most probably won't have a better chance next season.
This is a big moment and this summer is a big summer. Could easily be what makes or breaks this team long term

To mislead the opposition (maybe).Why name him in the playing squad then?
He's obviously got a chance of being fit otherwise you name another CB for cover and just take Harry for the bantz.
Nothing would please me more than to be proved wrong.
I just think suggesting he's been named in the squad for moral support is plain wrong.
He can give moral support by not being named in the squad and just traveling with the lads. He's been named as the club must suspect he may make the game. It's simple. He obviously might not but there's clearly a chance.
Completely meaningless historical statistics. We're the better side.
Jokes aside, I really hope you're right. Excited to see this and surely means he's somewhat fit.
Yeah me too mate. Would feel much better with him in that back 4.
That said we need to win. If it means doing so without Harry and him getting in his full kit to lift the trophy like that wanker John Terry I'll take it.
He threw away the tournament the only time when we played it under him, that's how much he valued it. No matter what he says now it's clear he thought this was a second string tournament, which it is.
Why are you bothering watching it then or posting about it?
Let us fans who are interested in the trophy and want to win it enjoy the build up please and leave us alone. Ta.
