Need a top 3, being 4th may come back to hurt us bad if rags get Europa.

Why?

If United win Europa and finish 5th we still get into the Champions League.

Part of the prize of winning the Europa now is that you get into the Champions League whilst your league doesn't get affected.

That's why with Sevilla winning the Europa last year Spain had 5 teams going into the Champions League this season.

Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Villarreal, and Sevilla.

Villarreal had the 4th place play-off but got knocked out by Monaco.

Stand corrected, only issue is if rags win Europa and Lester win Champions - what are the odds on that, probably higher than 5000:1 :)
 
I would play Bravo because we really need to see if he can recover his composure.

Sounds very much as if Kompany will play which is obviously a big boost

---------------Bravo
Navas--Stones--Kompany--Clichy
-----------Fernandinho
--------KDB------------Silva
---Sane-----Aguero-----Sterling

Very important game. If we win this, I think that's the top 4 sown up if Utd fail to beat Chelsea
 
I don't know if we can afford to play Bravo, it's at the point where he's more likely than not to let in a soft goal- and suppose we can only score one? I don't think we can risk it.

As I said earlier I'm at the game tomorrow. I've seen Zabaleta score, I've seen Aguero score, I've seen Silva, Nasri, Touré, Kolarov. The only thing missing for me (from this generation) is to see a live Vincent Kompany goal and it seems like I won't get many more chances. I hope to fuck he bags one for us.

But Willy's soft goal the other week is OK? Whoever is in the nets will be picked on form on the training ground for the tactics Peps wants to employ in this particular match.
