For me the win tomorrow night is vital. Not for qualifying purposes or because we can win the competition because there's more chance of pigs flying than this current Utd team winning the CL or even going close.
It's important to win to try and build some much needed confidence.
A bad result tomorrow after the weekend will leave Erik on incredibly thin ice. I know most don't really want him sacked and understand the issues are mostly not his making.....but this is a results industry so he's going to have to start winning games fairly consistently soon or he will be out on his backside.
Changes to the team are inevitable too you'd think. Rashford can be taken out of the team and left on the bench for this one. He hasn't been playing well so he can't really have any grumbles. Not sure Antony is fit enough to start. Probably will get some mins off the bench.
Who he picks on the right wing will be interesting if Antony isn't fit enough to start. Pellestri hasn't really done much and looked poor at the weekend and a bit too weak. Bruno or Mount on the right? Who knows.
Big game Erik. Can't be losing this one or you're bang in trouble.

Has Antony been injured, or training? If he’s been training no reason he wouldn’t be fit.
I’d like to see Hannibal return, Amrabat in CM alongside Casemiro but that can’t happen because we’d have to stop two of Mount, Bruno and Rashford.
I expect the same team as Saturday, with Pellistiri dropped.

Neither. He's been in Brazil.
First session back was Friday so he's trained twice I think.

Stick mount on the wing and put Hannibal in there then, since we don’t have a fit LB.

That's what I'd do too.
Pellestri doesn't look good enough to me. Runs a lot but looks very weak and doesn't exactly make chances either.
The right side of our pitch is a disaster zone. It's actually impressive how bad it is considering what we've spent trying to fix it.

We can win the CL on the basis that once every ten years or so a really bad team wins it (usually Chelsea).

Anybody can win a cup, given a bit of fortune and hard work.
Inter made a final last season, and gave City a good game. We made two domestic cup finals ourselves.

Fortune plays a part of course it does but you also have to have some kind of effective system too to win the CL. Luck can't do everything for you.
We've no chance guys. We don't even look good against lower league PL fodder.

It’s gonna be an interesting game as there’s a few nemesis’ at play.
The Istanbul coach who beat us in that horrific Bakashire game in 2020, Angelino who bodied us in that dreadful Leipzig game in the same campaign and Zaha who usually does well against us.
Think we’ll just about sneak it as our home form in Europe is usually good but it’s a game fraught with danger,

On the plus side Davinson Sanchez plays for them so they’re now basically down to 10 men

Actually think we'll do quite well tomorrow.
Then back it up with a decent win against Brentford before we go into the international break and lose all possible momentum.

This is the last time I predict anything.
Fack you pun
