Match Day Thread Europa league R16 leg 2: Manu Utd V Liverpool

nah van gaal 4 life

 

Probably. Conte to Chelsea? Wonder where Pellegrini will end up?

 

scrap heap?

Spain some place?

nice guy but just not that good at this point.

Looks to me like

City: Guardiola
Leicester: do we really care?
Cheslea: ****y - suits them to the ground
Tottenham: Pochettino
Arsenal: Wenger will still be there
Liverpool: Klopp on autofollow assistance
Everton: martinez
Utd: Van gaal...
Newcastle Benitez.

 

One club hired the only manager to win every European competition, the other stuck with the guy who has given 23 players their PL debut as he desperately tries to find a system that works

 

Tough call this.

I can see us going 2-0 down quite quickly and everyone's head's going.

I can also see us losing on the night and going through.

They will score.

Its all down to whether we can.

 

We'll score

 

You'd hope so but we've not in 2 of the 3 games against them this year and they have thegear in goal.

We are better than we were then but we're still capable of frustrating games where we don't score.

Really could do with Studge slotting one calmly from 15 yards and killing it.

 

Penalty from a dive with no contact? Just to see the meltdown?

 

That would be #priceless

 

They're also partial to a dive too.

I believe Ashley Young is injured thankfully.

Him and Valencia both terrible for it but also cause us a lot of genuine problems.

 

Yeah, first goal can still be significant in this game. I just think we have the hunger and more motivation than MU. Their all over the place at the mo.

We got important players back from injury at an important time, and this is starting to show in our confidence,displays and results

 

True. Our defence looks a bit more settled atm.

Fingers crossed!

 

Have faith Bow

 

Uefa have decided not to punish utd over the Hillsborough chants last Thursday, they should have warned supporters of both clubs that those type of chants will not be tolerated, instead it looks like a thumbs up to do it again this week.

 

Good news is Fellani has not been banned. Do we have the same ref as the first leg, if so Fellani may be lucky to stay on the pitch

 

Before he rejoined Chelsea, I said he'd end up at PSG at some point. However, he'll go to Man Utd first now.

 

Expect it to happen again this week now then

 

Surely the chant one is relatively easy to solve. Both clubs agree to have extra Steward's at the matches between the two clubs that start to film the sections of the crowd who start to sing. Take seat numbers and video close ups of each one singing and then ban them for life.

You won't get them all at one time but once the life bans start getting dished out the singing will stop.

Edit..
stewards... Don't think having a lot of guys named Stewart would make much difference.....

 

No mention of blatant chants, no mention of blatant elbow

Looks like the referee report was written by Ed Woodward

 

they bascially said if its not in a refs report they do nothing on anything.

I bet if suarez bit a player and got away with it playing for us in europe he'd have been banned.

I do feel on a serious note that if you've an out by sending a ref with a bare amount of english along and he doesn't understand the chant then how can he report it.. thus any amount of abuse racial include dis allowed as long as its not picked up on.
