Your Airbag

Must win for us. I think we'll do it with ease for some reason.

glued

A must win. If United don't win here the pressure will ramp up on LVG especially after losing to a poor PSV side.

The_Kew_Tour

A must win x10.

Draw or defeat and United are in spot of bother.

A nervy United win is my prediction

Flint Fredstone

Wolfsburg have been below par away from the VW Arena. I fully expect a home win but you don't always get what you expect

Nalz

2-2

Cantona's Collars

Predicted lineups

Manchester United (4-2-3-1): David de Gea; Matteo Darmian, Daley Blind, Chris Smalling, Antonio Valencia; Morgan Schneiderlin, Bastian Schweinsteiger; Memphis Depay, Wayne Rooney, Juan Mata; Anthony Martial.

Wolfsburg (4-1-4-1): Diego Benaglio; Ricardo Rodríguez, Dante, Naldo, Christian Träsch; Joshua Guilavogui; André Schürrle, Max Kruse, Julian Draxler, Daniel Caligiuri; Bas Dost.

Rayne Wooney

Wolfsburg have a good team, going to be a tough one this

Both teams to score, I think United will just edge it

Nalz

Bumping this as there's subsequently been another one created

Hopefully Martial can end his goal drought and help secure the 3 points.

Thecon21

Very nervy win ahead I reckon, wouldn't be surprised to see Wolfsburg score first even..

Hope Martial shines..

Polo_Mint

I think we will trash Wolfburg tonight

4-0

First goal 19th min

Ooooooh a Bet hehe


I say a Charity Bet €10

You choose a score and I choose a score

Loser pays a €10 Charity bet

If both of us are losers we both place Charity Bets of €10

You can pick first

Funny, 2 match threads for Uniteds game tonight. No match thread for Chelsea or Arsenal CL games last night from what I can see! They clearly saw it coming

Can you post in superthreads now about a match during a match? I remember there was mayhem over that a few years ago.

If memory serves the issue used to be people posting about a match in a superthread when the match thread was closed for clean up/mod action.

On that note, I can't even remember the last time a match thread had to be closed mid game for shenanigans.

Ahh I see. cheers. Here's the policy on superthreads post.

I totally forgot about this game. I am thinking our style of football is more suited to European games. At least I hope so...

Yeah I think so too. The team will be the one I said with Bastian replacing Herrera.

United 11: DDG, Valencia, Smalling, Blind, Darmian, Schneiderlin, Schweinsteiger, Mata, Rooney, Memphis, Martial

No Herrera.

He was never going to change the side apart from Carrick unless there was an injury.

I'm loving the consistency in selection even if I'd personally fit Herrera in somewhere.

weisses

I admit having a big smile seeing PSV topping the group

Must win for Utd ... I marked Wolfsburg as the second strongest in the group after United beforehand

I'm not sure if Herrera is injured, but it was reported that he missed yesterday's training session.

Polo_Mint

Rojo still injured? I would have expected him back by now. even for the bench.

LVG said he has a slight injury.

Like the look of that team!

Bret Hart

I think we'll do enough to win this tonight and go on and do a real number on Arsenal at the weekend. Tonight's game will be the tougher game of the two.

2-1 Utd. Memphis and Rooney. Dost for Woflsburg.

If Martial scores in the first half will we have to sub him off incase he bankrupts us before half time?

I for one welcome our New Overlord

You jinxed it!

Valencia gg

Lovely Bloke

Val not a defender

LuckyGent88

Lovely goal but very poor defensively out at the touch line and then awful from Valencia.

Valencia keeping the entire world onside there, Christ.

PaddyCar

Schneiderlinn beating way to easy in build up to that goal

chupacabra

the **** was Valencia doing?

Nib

He would have been onside even if Valencia wasn't there.

2 players went out to the wolfsburg player on the touch line and were beaten way too easily

Oat23

Valencia an easy scapegoat, but he looked onside even if you take him out. Just great buildup and run.

ParkRunner

Nearly every time Valencia plays right back he is at fault for a goal, way too much of a liability as a defender!

SlickRic

Valencia. Wow.

LuckyGent88

Superb ball by darmian

Nib

Fcuk you Dante! That was heading into the top corner.
