Man Utd (H) - LC SF 2nd Leg - Pre-Match Thread

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Is laporte injured? Only someone said on match thread yesterday he was injured and out for between 4-6 weeks

That poster then said that he made it up for a laugh. Took me ages for my sides to stop hurting

The masochistic side of me wants the rags to get 2 up only for Phil to score in front of their fans in the 90th minute

Foden or Jones?

Still wish we had been more ruthless in the second half at the swamp and buried the tie

I think it will be 433, not 3 at the back. In that formation, I would want this to be the team:

Ederson

Mendy
Laporte
Fernandinho
Walker

Rodri
Bernardo
KDB

Jesus
Aguero
Mahrez

Jesus can play quite central as Mendy will take control of the left flank.

However, I think Sterling will start instead of Jesus.

I would be very tempted to keep the formation the same as the first leg, in the league they could have been well in front in the first 30 minutes and see no reason for us to revert back to the same line up.

Bravo

Mendy
Laporte
Oti
Walker

Dinho
Rodney
Kev

Bernie
Merlin

Sergio

Well maybe Pep will pick Fern but Stones is better at every aspect of defending. The only thing missing from his game is continuity due to injury. Stones and Laporte is City's no. 1 defensive partnership I think when both players are fit which they are not at the moment.

And if stones can get his head in gear

If Laporte hasn't a minor injury from the SU game, he's starting this one. He needs more minutes under his belt before facing Real.

If he can only start one out of united and Spurs then I'd rather it was this one, the cups are more important than the league for me now.

Bravo
Walker
Otamendi
Fernandinho
Mendy
Rodri
Bernardo
De Bruyne
Sterling
Mahrez
Aguero

Jesus instead of Raz

A little nervous about this one so we need a full strength squad. They score the first goal then it'll be game on. No doubt Ole will have a game plan to get his team back into the tie but hopefully we wont regret taking our foot off the gas in the first leg. I'm predicting a 2-2 draw.
