We've got the toughest run-in, added to the FA Cup and UCL involvement.

The next 6/7 weeks will be tense.

Nice to not see United in a top 4 race for once.

Let the little kids battle it out.

I would like the season to end like this...

City
United
Leicester
West Ham
































Arsenal

Also nice to see United aren't in the run-in for the UCL or FA Cup, though that isn't strange...let the little kids battle that one out too

Arsenal

You had to do this

nihilistjnr:
That Kroos-Modric Midfield no be here. If we play 343, against their midfield 3, e no get how them no go dominate us

I think this is a counter attack job

Nothing but raw pace on the flanks and look to overload them there.

I would play Hudson and Puli at wingback, with Werner and Mount either side of Giroud.

No point in trying to pass it around, just straight clearances to the flanks and let Hudson and Pulisic carry the ball upfield for us.

Hmmm...CHO at wingback against Vinicius

He has the pace, but does he have the defensive awareness/nous to cope with someone as tricky as Vinicius?


I'd feel more secure with James starting. Though CHO brings more to offense.

That one na temporary blip.
But as long as the little kids from London and Manchester dont win the UCL this season, then no difference between the ones that bottled group stage and the ones that lost semifinal. Both of them no win am.

It had to be done

If we can pick up maximum points in the next 3 games it will surely help than hoping looserpool n others drop points. We have enough squad dept and TT should rotate

There are 14 Champions League titles between the four semi finalists: PSG, Manchester City, Chelsea & Real Madrid.

13 of them belong to Real Madrid.


We've got huge task ahead.

Vinicius is not that good. He only has 3 goals in UCL this season, and scored 2 of those against pool

He has only 3 league goals this season.

Also 3 atb mitigates some of the risks of a tricky winger isolating a wb/rb on the flank. I need Hudson and Puli to be carileros on those flanks ala Ramires.

Time for Jorginho to step up. Man shall not live by dominating Crystal Palace alone.

I don't know where you guys are seeing this pace in James sha.

I think he uses his body well to block off and unbalance runners and stay with them over short distance but I don't see any speed endurance in him for any distance over 20 metres.

Tuchel has never lost to Zidane �

Real Madrid have never beaten Chelsea �

Expect a Champions League classic �


This is a huge sigh of relief .......I can now start thinking about the finals .

It was a classic indeed.

So I can't not fantasise in peace again ?

Well,sorry to disappoint you,i will keep banking on this history till further notice.

He isn't very fast, but he's got good pace nonetheless. Standard for a modern day fullback/wingback.

Wait, so you want Odoi AND Puli to start at the two wingback positions?

Forget am, Tuchel no go do reach that one. At most, CHO will start at RWB, with Chilwell on the left. Pulisic will prolly start in attack.

TT has tried Pulisic at RWB before, but I don't think he'll try that against Madrid.


Another interesting thing is the choice of CBs. Assuming all our centre backs are fit, who would y'all rather have at the back three?

It's an interesting conundrum

The issue for me is this: As far as I am concerned Hudson must play, Pulisic must play, Werner must play, Mount must play.

343 does not have the same problem as 4 at the back. When you attack with fullbacks playing 4 at back, you leave only 2 men at the back to deal with counters. You dont have that problem playing 3 at the back, which is why Conte played an out an out winger, and a slow and defensively suspect fullback in the WB positions when we won the league.

Chilwell would do a job at LWB of course, but I would have preferred to play Puli there to use his ball carrying skills

Our back 3 picks itself imo - Rudger, Chris, Azpi.

Nicholas Anelka played for all 4 CL semi finalists

Wonder who he will support

I judge Rashford vs Mbappe on the most important metric below:

Lol.

We are not like those yeye La Liga & Burndisleaguedown fans that will be forming solidarity forever.

We only have allegiance for our immediate clubs. That is why our league is the most fiercely competitive in the world.

I won't have it any other way.
