Gonna be a cracking game again,Monaco will come at us,but they will be very wary that we can score goals as well,I feel that could be their downfall leaving spaces trying to get themselves back into the tie it's just down to us to take any chances that come our way..think it will end 2.2..

Fernandinho is to hit and miss in 1v1s to play left back. He's almost as rash as Otamendi but not as good tackler as Ota is. In both his game at LB he's been a defensive liability.

Again, I have listed the facts, I'm let folks draw whatever opinion they see fit.

But in comparing Clichy to Dihno, Dihno is infinitely better when we are in possession. And both at best can be said to sometimes be error prone on 1 v 1s.

Which begs the question, why is Clichy a better choice? He is at best just as bad defensively (factually speaking he is worse), he is definitely worse in possession, and definitely worse at supporting the offense.

Frankly, he is being chosen simply because he is listed as a LB on the squad pamphlet.
 
Tactics ? Got to continue with the Pep style that's really bedding-in now - always on the front foot. We can't do a containing game with our line-up. Unlike Maureen, Pep doesn't do that. BTW, what a disgrace to football the rags are - half a billion pound squad, one shot on target and fouling Hazard on a rotational basis.
 
End of tonight's Champions League coverage and a short preview about tomorrow BT saying rumours Aguero not starting.WTF.
 
Nerves starting to kick in having watched the Leicester game. I hope the boys watched that and don't do a Nasri and do anything stupidi. Got to be disciplined tomorrow although I think Monaco are a fair team. What a cheat that Vardy is. Utd should sign him
 
the usual crap coming out about Monaco again , biggest scorers in europe blah blah blah , we knew that last week but we have now found out they can,t f8cking defend if their lives depended on it , scoring hatfuls of goals against french Ligue dross doesnt prepare you for a game in the Champs league ask PSG . Not at all worried about this game ,we will simply outscore them again.

The score could of easily been the other way around at our place. Both defences where a mess and they missed a penalty which could of buried us.

agree, we'll win this game comfortably. All this noise about their attacking threat and the tie being evenly poised is hot air. The way we ran over the top of them in the second half at home is ominous for them. We win 3-1.
 
We have performed away at the likes of Roma, Sevilla and Bayern but we shouldn't take anything for granted.

I have the utmost confidence in the team tomorrow
But it's going to be more of the same
Two teams attacking for 90 minutes
I'm curious to see what Pep comes up with tomorrow...
4-0 when I have to work, and I'll be on the job tomorrow
Come on Blues let's have this one and move on
 
During the last 20 minutes of the home game we ripped them a new one. We should have scored at least another two in that period and they were a spent force going forward as well. They haven't got their best defender so I see no reason to worry about this game. Looking forward to it though
 
Stuck in Thailand at the moment and the game is in so late, can't find a Sports Bar that will be open and screening it.

Anyone got a 'stream' recommendation? The usual alike CR7 seem to be blocked.

Cric free seems to work consistently well.
Type it into google and it will find you.
