dunno about that. It's their cup final.

Guaranteed win with Klopps record in finals then.

Juve love a free transfer. Pirlo, Pogba etc. Reckon Ballack was Chelsea's best free transfer of the modern era.

Lewandwoski to Bayern probs the most painful for the fans.

[eastynh]

Feel dirty here but I hope United stuff Liverpool.

[jyoung]

Really looking forward to tonight's game. Just checked the line ups tho, Dani Alves playing as a right forward?! Shame Cavani and Neymar are out.

Ole out. Jose would ground out a 0-0 draw.

Oh the joys.

Fist time United have lost by 2 goals at home in a European game 

[pink_triangle]

I know man utd have been strong in the league, but they lack that champions league knockout experience.

[eFestivals]

the Ole spell is broken.

They certainly lacked a bit of quality and know how. Even without there 2 forwards they were cut above united, certainly going forward. 

[Wooderson]

Game crying out for Fellaini.

[The Nal]

FC Cup to come, PSG again, Liverpool, Arsenal and City in the league all in the next 4 weeks. 

[jyoung]

Only ended up watching the first half as I didn't think the game was going anywhere. Was a classic European tie. Ref dishing out cards and players rolling about. What's the extent of JLingz and Martial's injuries? Certainly wouldn't do any harm to Chelsea's chances next Monday...

"Muscle injuries" so they're a huge doubt.

So will United play their best available team against Liverpool next week, or will they rest their better players in the hope that they can turn it round against PSG?

They should concentrateon the league I'd have thought.

 

Saying that pogba will be available for Liverpool since he can't go to Paris.

I think finishing in 4th place is an easier route to next year than winning the champions league. I don't think they are in a place to field a reserve team.

Best possible team for Chelsea in the FA Cup, Liverpool, Arsenal and City. The PSG game is 10 days after the Liverpool game (2 games in between) so loads of time. Defo a weakened team for Palace and Southampton. Most crucial 4 weeks of the season coming up.

Most crucial was getting rid of the twat Nal, One thinks united fans are getting a bit ahead of themselves. Getting top 4 would be a wonderful achievement where we were points and form wise. 

They should forget about the Champions League, the FA Cup will be pretty difficult as I’m thinking city will get close to the quadruple this season. 

Its simple mathematically, get the same points as Chelsea and Arsenal then 4th place is there’s.

There's another 2 rounds of fixtures between the Liverpool game and the PSG game where they've got Palace away and Southampton at home so more likely to rest players during those 2 than the Liverpool game

FA Cup as well, on paper who wins Monday should get to the final(if they avoid city).

Dunno about that really.

All respect to Ole as he's turned things around well, but this is the team and players who finished 2nd last season.
