I actually think we'll win, and I never think we'll win. I reckon 2-0 to the good guys and we'll think we are basically through only to concede early at Villa Park and endure about an hour of stress and panic before getting a couple of late goals to win 4-1 on aggregate.

Brilliant. Well done. Thanks.

You were one of the ones who understood. This is nothing short of apostasy. For shame.

Sorry, I don't know what's happened to me lately. I'll be nodding along to Coldplay songs and saying "I reckon we should give five at the back a go" before you know it.

Draw would be good get them back to B6 under the lights . Anything above this is a bonus.

Or a sky full of stars, as CDBF would describe it.

I feel like we'll either batter them and the home leg will be a dead rubber, or we'll concede one goal after 4 minutes, miss 12 goal chances, and then lose the home leg 3-0.

They won the last round by being up in the first leg, then hitting Atalanta on quick breaks as they needed to commit players forward. So we definitely need to be up in the first leg to ensure they have to come at us.

It was from a very dodgy penalty aswell.

We were absolutely rotten in the previous game. Kamara back starting will be huge. Hoping Cash will be back

Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Bogarde, Digne, Kamara, Tielemans, McGinn, Rashford, Rogers, Watkins.
Axel will be in there in defence I think. Bogarde in recent form might do a decent job at RB as well.

Not Bogarde at right back. He’s done nicely centrally of late and is developing well. But a central position is definitely his future I think.

You'd like to think the players would be bang up for this, not only a last 16 European Cup tie but we really let ourselves down there earlier in the season.

Yes, you’d like to think …….

We have seen this film before though, many, many times.
