I'm actually fine for the match. Although am suffering with the fear from a work night out last night

But really don't see any issues after watching the first leg. They got talked up big and they looked pretty poor.

And sure lads come on, specialists in home draws, we are going through:cool:

I keep thinking of the early free header they missed early on and think what if they get the same opportunity and take it.

Your right though, you should go through but I just cant help but be cautious and wary.

I do not envy you one bit. Hopefully United get the result just so you avoid the jibes/smart arsed comments.

Said it before but Barkley would be a great signing. A real lack of athletic players for United. His decision making looks a lot worse than it is because of the position he plays. He's basically on his own between a lone striker and 2 deep midfielders. Has done very well this season in general and always looks a threat. For 30 odd million in the current market he'd be a bargain imo.

Really, define Athletic? Pogba, Herrera, Rashford, Bailey, Valencia,

Rashford and Herrera aren't powerful enough to hold off players. That leaves Pogba, Bailly and Valencia in the regular squad who have a bit of power to go with a good level of quickness. Hardly rolling in them. Only Pogba capable of bringing the ball forward through the middle and holding off players.

I'd say lads don't sweat it, should be a routine home win for United, then I remembered routine home win & United has rarely been used in the sentence this season.

30m for Ross Barkley? Hahahaha

Yeah this Braille keyboard is great.
Anyway speaking of great days gone past, 21 years ago today we made history with the first team to win the double twice with a Mourinho's type win over the cream suits!

The lads that are talking up Barkley where do ye think he would get his game at United?
Is he any upgrade on what's currently at the club ?

I'd rather sign his brother Gnarls

Rotate him, Pogba, Fellaini and Herrera for the 2 CM positions in front of a DM to be brought in. Herrera or Fellaini can also play the deeper role when needed or against weaker teams.

My main issue with signing Barkley is that he is under performing at a team we expect to be some way above going forward.

I really can't think of any player who has under achieved at a "smaller" club and then moved on to a higher level with a move to bigger club.

Barkley could be gotten for less than 30m I would say. Especially with the comments coming out of Koeman and with him going into the last year of his contract.

I think he would be great on the right side of a midfield three with Pogba on the left and Herrera sitting.

The more obvious move this summer would be to buy a dedicated DM instead and leave Herrera on the right side

How anyone can think this season has been the worst football served up in the last 40 years is beyond me? You only have to look to the last three seasons to see a lot worse.

On Barkley I hope we aren't infor him. Not on the list of type of players we need and I'm still unconvinced by him anyway.

I don't think he is an upgrade on any of those players and thee are plenty of squad players around the club already.

I think a DM is certain to be bought this summer and don't see Bartley doing much more than fighting it out for a spot with Herrera and Fellaini as Pogba and DM will start majority of games.

I like that line-up. Hopefully they won't be coming out with the main objective of trying to defend the 0-1 from the first leg.

Really nervous.

Come on utd

Oh how an early Utd goal will settle the nerves. Praying this doesn't end up like the Anderlecht game. My heart can't take that again :P

thelad95

This will be 1-1 in the 90th minute with a free kick to Celta Vigo on the edge of the area and everyone kacking their pants.

Liam McPoyle

I watched the highlights of the second Anderlecht game earlier.

Fcuk me pink the chances we had were unreal in the second half alone, Rashers, Mikhi, Ibra and Pogs all had gilt edged chances, we may not get away with squandering those kind of chances tonight.

Still getting a laugh out of a post from the aftermath of the first leg - "We're going to thrash them 0-0 at Old Trafford" :pac:

Fair play to that poster.

Trash them at least 60% to 40% in possession.

Mkhitaryan is doing my head in not passing to Rashford early.

Would love to have Rojo back. Him and Bailly are great together

Quandary

Fellaini really putting in a solid performance so far. Pogba good too, and Mkhitaryan coming into the game nicely.

Half way lads....

It's mad that Fellaini can do something stupid in one game and then redeem himself again. You just can't fully commit to the hate.

Doing well in fits and starts but not really getting much control.

The left side of our defence looks very vulnerable. Darmian has been poor but improved a little as the game went on. Blind has been ****ing awful. Asleep half the time.

Pogbas been really good when on the ball, Rashford has been impressive leading the line and of course "Utds worst ever signing" has come up with the goal and played well.

Miki looks as likely to lose the ball easily as he does to come up with something constructive.

Kerrydude1981

Comfortable for a lot of the first half Celta started well but any time we have got at them with a bit of quick play we have got through,

Blind seems to be a bit off the pace tonight,few loose touches by him.

Not disagreeing, but coming in here now I knew you were going to post this. F*ck sake, if I could see something useful like the lotto numbers :pac:

He hasn't done too much wrong this year imo. Jose has managed him excellently. Brilliant squad player to have
