Berahino missed 2 penalties today, combined with his (offside-but-somehow-given-onside) chances against us he's having a stinker of late.

Never a fan of Yaya in a 2 against good opposition, but Yaya + Dinho vs Mikel + Loftus-Cheek isn't a bad match up for us assuming Fabregas is playing in the number 10 role & not a 3. Kolarov may be the bigger issue. Gonna be a tight game, a point would be a decent result, a win would be fantastic.

Gone for a lot of effort in that post - but we don't have a number 16 this season. I'd stick to names.

Still many factors to weigh into what we can expect next season. Will we even be in the CL next season? Will we have got our transfer targets? If we are in CL we'll be pot 2 & could get Barcelona and another group of death. Who will our rivals bring in (players/managers)? I'm certainly not...

With Yaya having so much less game time than Dinho/Nando of late I'd expect he'll start - like I said though I would have him from the bench. Your original complaint was playing one of our best performers out of position, yet your solution is to play our actual best (IMO) performer out of...

Because that's what happens when you incorporate Yaya into this team. It's the same problem Pellegrini has had all season. Yaya isn't good enough in a 2 man midfield against opposition who will have a fair share of the ball, hence he's played in a 3 - however this means he pushes Silva/KdB out...

Oh, no doubt we were the team to get. At home 2nd leg against City was the draw they'd all have wanted - however PSG were probably pretty happy with their draw last round also..

To be fair they've clicked throughout the CL run, conceded none at home & Ronaldo has 16 goals 4 assists in 10 matches. The Wolfsburg match obviously gives hope though.

Didn't really matter. Real Madrid the most prone to off days so arguably give us the biggest chance of getting through, on the flip side also the most dangerous team for me capable of tearing us a new one if we have an off day. Let's hope for a City Bayern final.

Nope. 4th will only miss out if 2 English teams outside the top 4 win both CL & Europa League. E.g. if United came 4th, they'd miss out if we won CL & Liverpool won Europa League. If L'pool win EL & we don't win CL then there will just be 5 English teams in CL (top 4 + Liverpool).

Well this is making United fans panic. Their worst fear is still on the cards; pip us to 4th spot, then miss out on CL as Liverpool & City win Europa & Champions League. I could take that scenario.

Hart Zab Otamendi Mangala Clichy Fernandinho Delph KdB Toure Nasri Aguero Don't think we should mess with back 4 too much, fullbacks perhaps but personally wouldn't want Kolarov in a game where we'll be doing our fair share of defending. Mangala usually copes fantastically with Costa so I'd...

Hard to pick anyone out on a poor performance, everyone had their jobs & did it fantastically really. Aguero missed the pen but was so much more lively than the last leg, deserved a goal really. KdB match winner but Nando/Dinho outnumbered in midfield for most of the match did immense jobs at...

Probably jinx it here but Mangala usually has Costa in his pocket. Hoping for more of the same. If they play the kids like they have been doing then they'll certainly be up for it but hopefully lacking the quality.

If Toure plays then this is what we should go for. Hope we don't make the mistake of Toure in a 2 against a team like PSG.

Was replying to someone quoting a post that is weeks old. If they field a team similar to last week then we really should be winning if we can get through the PSG match with fitness in check & field a strong team for the Chelsea game. No clue how likely their injured players...

Where do I say that in my post? I said we struggle away & against decent opposition in the PL. We play Chelsea away and they're decent opposition in the PL - hence why I suggested we could lose to them.

Because we've only just won back to back games for the first time since October, we averaged less than a goal a game away from home before the last match & can't beat any decent team in PL. Would love to be optimistic & say we'll come 3rd but we're certainly in a close race for 4th as I see it...

United have had 1 shot all match. So poor as usual.

Great pass from Eriksen.
