FT: Man Utd 4-1 Istanbul Basaksehir

Ultimately if we lose our next two games we’ll likely be out

Yeah but PSG are rubbish and as are Leipzig. We are also finding form in creating a lot of chances. PSG were lucky to beat Istanbul as they created twice as many chances against PSG then they did vs us. They just kept missing.

I won’t be surprised if Istanbul beat both these sides. They seemed to be the best side we faced.

I don’t know. I know PSG have a better h2h than Leipzig. We also scored most away goals in h2h so far. I think if we lost 6-0 to Leipzig then we could go out I suppose.

If all three teams finished on 12 points then the positions would have been decided by results between the three teams on 12 points. It would be highly unlikely that United would have gone out on 12 points (thanks to the 5-0 v RB) but possible.

Hopefully by the time we play PSG IB will have done us a favour in the early kick off.

Even if Leipzig draw with Istanbul - if we lose at home to PSG (which is very possible now PSG have all their players back) it will come down to a winner takes all game in Germany

I think PSG will play right into our hands, again, and we’ll pick them off on the counter.

We'll almost certainly need a point in our next two games. Unless IB can beat RB which isn't impossible as they'll still have Europa ambitions. If they draw in Turkey then a draw between PSG and United isn't the worst result for either side really in the later match.

We will smash PSG, if they play like they have been doing. They should have got smashed by 4 or 5 in the first game but our wastefulness allowed them to make it look closer than it was.

We won't smash them if we waste chances again.
