Who is their equivalent Michael carrick?

Missed out on Kaiser Ralf unfortunately.

Missed out on Kaiser Ralf unfortunately.

Instead of the Ralf, do they know the Elf is without a job?

 

[14aguero]

It is ironic that the franchise the current United coach had built is crumbling. Maybe, he is just a more polished version of Van Gaal.

Asterisked players probably need some minutes in their legs.

Bench including Carson, Mbete, Wilson-Esbrand, Lavia.

A real shame for Delap and Edozie that their injuries mean they miss out on a CL game they would almost certainly have played a part in

 

[asahartford1]

Steffen, ZInchenko, Palmer and Macatee should start.

As should Kev who needs minutes.

I’d also start Jack to let him gain momentum and more opportunity to fully gel.

Keep the big lads at home.

And some of the small ones like Sterling and Bernardo

Just spotted its a 5.45pm kick off.

Looks like I'll have to take the day off then.

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

Leipzig and Brugge fighting for the EL spot, no doubt Pep will go pretty strong out of respect to Brugge

Ederson
Walker Stones Ake Zinchenko
De Bruyne Dinho Grealish
Mahrez Palmer Jesus

I agree with the sentiments, but sometimes you just have to look after yourselves.
I wonder if Pep's comments about a threadbare squad were in fact a lead in to this.
Decent 11, but suspect Steffan for Eddie and a replacement right back
