Chelsea for me are winning the CL. I said this even in the quarter finals. They have city’s number and tactically Tuchel is superb. They will also win the Fa cup, so will do the double. United to win Europa.

City didn’t play their best XI in either game tbf.

I’ve also got a bad feeling Emery is going to get one
Over Ole on the night. I’m trying to ignore that feeling and go with the comfortable win prediction.

I think Chelsea beating City twice lately must have some kind of psychological effect but I'm still backing City.

Does anybody know how Villarreal play. Their strengths and weaknesses?

I have no confidence in our defence. I haven’t had all season.

Massive failure if we don’t win. This is a side that are behind Real Sociedad in the league.

Why do you think Villarreal will beat us? Their team will be assembled for about a fraction of the amount of ours?? Sure they have some decent players and emery is ver canny in this comp, but we should be overwhelming favourites

Why do you think Villarreal will beat us?

.....

Because we have an utterly crap defence.

City, Villareal and Chelsea for me.

City because I think they've just got a little bit more than what Chelsea do in terms of quality, although it will naturally be a close game.

Villareal I actually think are favourites, based off their manager's history in this competition and in general they really are a very solid side in general. United will have a tough time getting past them, particularly based off how inconsistent United are.

Chelsea in the FA Cup because I think they have more match winners than Leicester do, although I wouldn't be surprised to see the Foxes win it because they are a very good team within their own right.

Some info on Villarreal.

They don't seem to be high pressers but they're not ultra defensive either. That should suit hopefully.

I would have a lot more confidence if Maguire played but I agree it’s very weak and flaky

I quite rate Maguire. I dont his quality really shows unless he is missing if that makes sense.

Fair point, but we should still have enough to win the gane.

Game*

Villareal did an absolute number on Arsenal tactically. They can play for sure.

I think Ole should let us off the leash and let us play like we usually do when we go a goal down. Get Mason and Rashford in their correct positions alongside Cavani and play Pogba and one of Fred/McT in midfield. Perhaps it's a risk but with our firepower, and bench, we should be confident of winning a high scoring game. Funnily enough I think DDG would be better off if he was busy too as he usually plays better when he is.

If we try to make it too tactical we could play into their hands.

I’ve no doubt they can and we shouldn’t take them lightly but they are also 7th in a poor La Liga for a reason.

I fancy Chelsea for the CL, City are the better team but would be typical Chelsea to go win it.

United for Europa

Leicester for the FA cup
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That'd be a nice end to the season. I've got a horrible feeling it'll be Chelsea, City and Villareal though, just because god hates me.

I do too, he gets underrated a lot because of his price tag but he’s a solid defender and isn’t afraid to put his body on the line. He’s letdown hugely by Lindelof.

True, although the thought of pogba in a midfield 2 in a final isn’t one that fills me with confidence. Should certainly go out on front foot from the start (like we always do lol)

Only reason I think Villarreal might win it cause Foyth plays for them and would be another spursy moment
