Hope UEFA will behave and give us the likes of Fenerbache or Sparta Prague next round.
But a Dortmund vs Spurs tie isn't the kinda match i would want to miss

AdeLaNa1:
European Games this week:
German teams - 2W, 1D, 2L
English teams - 4W, 0D, 1L

All 3 English teams thru to d nxt round. 2 German teams thru, and 2 German teams knocked out.

But watch them come out to start telling us of how UEFA has rated Bundesliga ahead of EPL this season....

Go and lodge your complaints to UEFA

In this current season

Spain 15.9 points
Germany 13.4
England 11.8
Itally 11.3

You better hope all Italian clubs get eliminated from the CL so you dont lose your spots next season

11.8 to 13.4 na just 1.6

You better get on ur knees and pray that the last remaining german team doesn't get knocked out of the UCL

Abeg o. They should not gve us any spanish team until we get to semis. that's if we make it that far.

chrisley024:
did LvG say he's unfit? I guess he used two ball-playing CB cos he knows Midj will sit back.

Smalling has shoulder injury

This season has been a disaster, my advice is take each game as it comes and enjoy the good games without to much over thinking of the next games. I have predicted Arsenal to wack us, do I care, not a bit because i'm buzzing about seeing a brilliant performance in an injury ravaged team. LVG will be gone in the summer and all the positives of this season may build the foundation of next so lets just enjoy a good game for what it was.

nawa for these players

Let’s hope he and DDG can return on Sunday.

Otherwise we should go with McNair and Rojo in CB. Blind on the left.

We are going to rely on Mephis. It's like Mephis plays better when there is no one competing for his position. Nani was like that.

Our back can be strong enough to withstand Arsenal if we have Schneirdelin and Herrera operating in front of Rojo and McNair. Carrick should go to the bench.

DDG/Romero
Varela, McNair, Rojo, Blind
Herrera, Schneirdelin
Lingard, Mata, Mephis
Rashford

Or


DDG/Romero
Varela, McNair, Rojo, Blind
Carrick, Schneirdelin
Mata, Herrera, Mephis
Rashford

But I am not too sure Carrick and Schneirdelin have a good partnership. It will be a big bonus if we get Smalling back.

Valencia will not be match fit to start. He has not even trained with the team, just personal training.

Jackson is injured. I am still studying that Riley. I never sure about the guy finish.

okay.

We are going to play without a senior striker for about one month. This is when Chicharito would have enjoyed himself.

i taught MartiaLs injury wasn't that bad, would he be sidelined for a month?

Bros dat Riley guy good nau.... e get better technique that Jackson although Jackson get more pace, better physique and does him quick crosses are dangerous. Plus Riley na utility man he can play as RM, LM or CM, you go notice say the bobo dey comfortable on the ball my only fear na how him go cope with top pacy wingers.

What do you think about Varela? I think he has a very bright future. I won't be surprised if Darmian is shipped out in the summer.

Martial should be fit, he didn't pull his hamstring. It was a precautionary measure as he felt some stiffness in the hamstring. I hope Merefish Dedebt can replicate what we saw against MickeyMouseLand on Sunday. He had the RB on toast all through the match.

That was against a horrible team so we need to remain steady.

memphis was immense last nite he has to start on sunday. i hope he can do the same thing to epl level defenders.

I read it's hamstring. If true, it's usually three weeks.

Varela played very well yesterday. But let's see him against an EPL team again.

Though it was against a poor team, that's the best individual performance I have seen in recent times by a United player and one could say we might not have won without him.

Okay, good news.

We have learnt not to risk playing after what happened to Valencia and Rooney. They kept on playing despite feeling pains. I think Jones did same thing. He was limping and the crew kept him on for another 15-20 mins.

Exactly. 15 dribbles in one match. I have never seen such. He has learnt to go both ways with his dribbles which makes him less predictable. That was what Afrodoc suggested the last time.

you're not wrong
my only fear is that team isnt on our level.
them poke the beast with that over celebration for first leg.
a repeat of that performance against bellerin and the whole gunners defence will do wonders for him.

am not against some few changes but sanchez and robben have been doing the samething for years and defence no sabi mark them.
great dribblers we go pass you even if you guess the direction correctly.

If you keep going to one side, you won't get many clear dribbles. You will dribble but you will be shielded. Mephis had clear dribbles yesterday in the final third and inside the box. Nani is one player I know could deliver such when having a good season.

I don't think Robben goes straight to one side every time. He has the ability to drive both ways at great speed despite using one foot, but his end result is of the highest quality if you allow him drive to his left in dangerous area. Just like Giggs, he was one leg, but he could zig zig both ways with great speed while delivering a perfect final pass.

Memphis was fantastic yester-nite, a world class performance. That is the way a NO. 7 should play, last time I saw this type of performance 4rm a United player was when CR7 was still a Man U player. Brilliant performance. I hope he will replicate this performance in Premier league matches, we need him now and he needs to play like this continuously to be the Fans favorite.

Memphis has the talent, that much is obvious. LVG needs to give him game time and with all the injuries it seems a certainty. He should have never been benched mid-season. Players like him need game time to play through their bad patches - benching them just knocks their confidence, so when they do come on as a sub with 10-15 mins to go they play badly; add this to the fact that he's young and needs to settle in and adjust to the life style and the English play style, I feel he's been maltreated. Last season at PSV his performances were consistent and top-drawer. A little love and faith from your manager goes a long way, especially when you're young and vulnerable.

Sometimes you should slow down on this. The difference between England and Italy as of now is 3.6 coefficient points. Assuming Juve and Roma both go out now and without getting any point in return legs, Lazio alone will have to make up those 3.6 coefficient points. Italy started with 6 teams so Lazio need to get 22 points including bonuses. If they win every match from now on in Europa, including final, the max they get is 17. We are also assuming here that English teams get no point from here on which is not likely. So 4 spots for 2017-18 are secured for PL. PL teams though should really use this opportunity to capitalize so as to negate last season when Italy gained 5.5 coefficient points on England. Otherwise England may start slightly behind Italy next season which will determine 2018-19 spots.

Roma exit is certain... lazio can't win UEl, juventus dy stand with one leg... after the 3rd round Italy will know there fate

True, and currently the EPL teams are underachieving but Italy is no competitor.
