United (A) - Semi Final | Pre-Match Thread

[Nellies left peg]

Straight to pens if level after full time?
If so were screwed

They've had so much practice taking penalties during premier league games

 

[Ric]

The pressure’s all on United, with home advantage and half our squad out. They’ll start getting a reputation for bottling semi-finals if they can’t beat us tonight.

Can someone with more nous than me find out what the odds are for 1,or 2 Man U penalties tonight, it may dull the pain if we lose that way

Or maybe not...

Just like us to be typical and get disqualified for playing him.....I hope the powers that be within the club know what they're doing and get definitive confirmation in triplicate before the team announcement.

If we get a result they'd love to kick us out to get the rags through.

Accept they will get one pen at least and we will just need to outscore them by a couple and it will be less stressful

So that's Bernardo, Jesus, Torres, Ederson, Laporte, Aké, Garcia, Doyle, Palmer, Carson all out.

Bit of a free hit for us this. We've won it the past 3 seasons and we've got half a squad with covid, uniteds own manager has acknowledged their semi final failure of late so the pressures on them to finally get to a final. Hopefully we relax play our normal game and smash them to pieces like we did at old Trafford this time last year. Of the 3 teams left in it there's by far the least amount of pressure to win on us.

Odds will be available on most sites before KO.

My bookie is offering the skippy one to score & get booked @10's if your that way inclined.

He will only get booked if he absolutely should have seen red .
