    If Utd finish 3rd you just know they’ll get draw against Liverpool in the latter stages of Europa.

    That would be interesting

    I love Howe for where we are right now and can see him here for a couple more seasons but there's a few moving parts in all that. If we aren't looking like challenging for something - even just getting the worst trophy around - then I can see the owners making moves. The other thing I can fully see happening is him taking the England job after Southgate, I think he's the obvious choice and despite him saying he isn't interested I'd be surprised if he wasn't. In all honesty I think Howe with the current England squad may actually have a great chance of winning something - he's a big upgrade on Southgate.

    Howe's strength is coaching players day to day. He wouldn't get that with England.
    Southgates strength is being a hoop licker to the FA big wigs which he gets to do on a day to day basis

    I meant the last time we played them in the Europy, but yeah, I wouldn't fear meeting them next March - if they don't finish 4th in their group.

    Players who've scored the most goals ever against the premier league league top 6 in all competitions (United, City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs)... Messi is in the top three but has never played in the prem.

    Good stat.

    Yeah we got a good draw in that group.

    Still got to beat the teams that are put before you mind.

    Put ourselves in pole position for qualification for the last 16 now <ok>

    That should you be done, now. I don’t see you getting past a half decent outfit with Lego head in charge. You need a manager change to kick you on.
