St. Etienne v Manchester United 22/2/17 k/o 17.00 BT.

Cantona's Collars

Jose Mourinho hints at making changes: "I have to play Saint-Etienne, I have to play the (League Cup) final, I have to play, hopefully, another game in the Europa League, I have to fight for a top-four position in the Premier League. So I have so many things to think about."

Christophe Galtier : "It’s indeed an important game but not the most important one. Even if we played seriously all the Europa League games, our future is not at stake. But we will do everything we can to get a good result."

I think united win 2-1 martial and rashers

Hope to catch the second half
Would really like to see some players rested for Sunday.
But still a job needs to be done. If Jose needs to risk key players then sub them off early if we are winning on the night.

How come this is on the same day as the Champions League?

The reason I saw was that Lyon also have a home Europa League match this week, and because Lyon and St Etienne are so close to each other (less than 40km away), one match had to be moved. Lyon finished higher in the league last year, so they get to stay on the normal date and St Etienne are forced to accommodate the change.

UEFA changed it to avoid Lyon and St Etienne both playing at home on the same night. Lyon finished higher in the league last year so their match was given priority and this one moved. Early kick off is to avoid clashing with CL matches

edit: Lord TSC got in there first

I bet both teams were happy for the change of day.

Liam McPoyle

Kagawa Mk II and the man once ran out of another team by Jose combine to score.

Magical stuff.

The_Kew_Tour

Goal goal goal. Beautiful, the man utd way

Trigger

Jaysus that's a shocking touch by Bailly

That was tight
Oh ffs
Mikis hamstring

RobertKK

Hopefully Mkhitaryan was just precautionary and nothing too bad.

KH25

Am I the only one who feels the ref is very close to getting in the way of play for both teams? Always seems too close.

He forgot his glasses

RB for them has some pace

RobertKK

Bailly is so good.

Mr.Crinklewood

Just caught Mrs Crinklewood googling Blind.

Surely that's a penalty on Pogba

RobertKK

Young is a very good back up player at right back.

Trigger

Bit of a push on Pogba there. Could easily have been a peno..

Bailly misses the next match

RobertKK

No Bailly in our next EL game.

RobertKK

Yeah for Bastian.

LuckyGent88

Schweini!!!

Trigger

Players slipping everywhere and the pitch is cutting up very easily.

Here's Basti

RobertKK

Carrick calf injury.

RobertKK

Bye-e

Another injury and a sending off
Fs

Trigger

Ah ffs

RobertKK

No way was that a yellow card.

RobertKK

Does Bailly still only miss the next EL game anyway?
