Because maybe

You're gonna be the one that saves me

And after all.....

You're my don't lose or drawwwwww
 
Finding it really hard to get up for this one. I actually think it will be better for the team in the long run if we get knocked out. We don't need that play off game in between the run of fixtures we have coming up.

I know Pep and the lads will think differently.
 
too bad we can’t play Omar
I know he probably want to play in champions league

Let’s win this so he can play in the next game

Wasn't too fussed about us going through tonight really, because it just means more and more and more games. We're clearly not good enough to win the thing so we might as well focus on finishing 4th and going deep into the FA Cup.

But anything that helps England's coefficient benefits us at the end of the season, I suppose. We need that safety net of 5th to qualify for next season's European Cup ahead of the rebuild, so anything that boosts those numbers is fine by me.

The coefficient is almost already guaranteed to give the PL 5 spots next year. I think united beating Rangers made it 100% confirmed actually.

I couldn’t really care less about the champions league but I do want a positive result - we need to keep some momentum up after the strong performance at the weekend

I’m not normally particularly arsed about the CL, but I really want us to progress tonight. The club/players need it.

Those two dropped points against Feyenoord are really annoying. 3 up going into the last 20 minutes; I don't care who the opposition are, you shouldn't be not winning. And let's be honest; the Dutch are a competent team, nothing more than that. They're not anywhere near Real Madrid, Barca, Inter, Juve and, yes, us (normally!). The fact that, in the end, we were holding on for a draw was farcical. If we had those extra those extra two points, a draw tonight might have been enough. Maybe.

I suppose the alternative view, though, is that managing to hang on for the point means winning today guarantees progression.

So, although the collapse was certainly very frustrating, especially in hindsight with everything that has happened after, the fact the lads were able to dig deep, on a very difficult night, to prevent the worst outcome was a (small) victory.

Really not arsed about tonight. The hyperbole will be insufferable but a fallow season isn’t too damaging if it means we focus on top 4.

What's more important is the players and Pep care a lot about the CL and to go out at this stage could have a real negative impact on our season. We're a team who thrive on the biggest stage and even though we've been terrible so far in the CL, i'd much rather we won tonight and take some positive momentum into the rest of the season.

And so do I, and most of the people going to the match tonight.
Winning tonight and the play off is important. There is a good chance we will get beat by Arsenal and Liverpool no matter what the prep is, so much better to win tonight and progress. Everyone gets a confidence boost and we move on to se if the gooners will shit the bed yet again.
