I disagree. Not a single player that will play against Liverpool (as a starter and even as a sub) has to play a single minute against Levante, not even Ter Stegen. Just consider the Levante game a loss. Anything better than a defeat in that game is extra. Now, for me the question is whether...

Foolish would be to tire and risk a single starting or sub player before a monstrous CL semi against the only team left in the competition that has a very real chance of eliminating us. The league is already won, unless we implode totally and completely after the Levante and Celta Vigo games...

Valencia's overall play has been fantastic since the beginning of the season, they have only been terribly lacking in terms of goalscoring. It's not accidental that we failed to beat them in either of the league games. We have a very tough CdR final coming up. Edit: Getafe have a very tough...

Benzema has been great for Real Madrid for a decade now.

He did it against Huesca even though we had already beaten United away and EV surely understands that Liverpool are much better than United.

The games against Levante and Celta must be considered lost. We have another 3 games in which to collect 6 points (which we may not even need to)

If we beat Alaves, then there is no way any starter will play against Levante.

Oh, I didn't know. What are they saying then?

It's very positive for us that most pundits in the English media consider Liverpool to be favorites and us being past it. I remember very similar claims right before the CL final in Rome, 10 years ago. Edit: And yes, after playing us, teams are dead on their feet.

Theoretically yes, but in reality, their hopes and dreams would be shattered.

I want them to win today. It's better if they have to fight for the league as well. It's draining both mentally and physically. If they fail to get the 3 points today, then the league is lost and they will only us to worry about. Yes, a loss of the league title will seriously deflate their...

United are obviously massively underachieving considering their financial power, on this I agree with you 100%. I also agree with both of you, that most coveted players will not want to go there. But I will have to repeat this yet again, as long as their revenue streams (EPL TV deals, massive...

I think we have to put things into a more proper context here. Yes, United have lots of money, but so do other EPL clubs, therefore it's perfectly reasonable for United to not have everything their own way. Second, it's not like they have been relegated or something, they finished 2nd last...

In the short-run you can get your transfers terribly wrong. In the long-run it evens out. If a club is able to keep spending high for an indefinite period of time, this will tell, it always does.

Before his spell at United, Jose Mourinho was almost universally regarded as a top 3 manager in world football at the very least. Pep & Lucho were complete unknowns in the sphere of management but still won epic trebles with Barca in their respective maiden seasons. The players make all the...

They don't have to sign the world's super elite in order to improve from where they are. They can settle for less fancied but still great players. Look at how Liverpool (with significantly less money than United) managed to re-emerge as a great team after a long period in which CL football was...

United are in deep sh*t at the moment. But they have tons of money, that's the most important factor at play here. As long as their poor results do not affect their sponsorship deals, they are covered.

Correct. It was at Stamford Bridge, Pedro with the opener.

When was the last time United have suffered such a huge defeat? The last one I can recall, was against City, the 1-6. That was something like 7 years ago.

After Jose left United, the players were a) Relieved and b) Desperate to prove their worth to the new manager and the fans. After a honeymoon period in which United players physically over-exerted themselves, the inevitable comedown is now taking place. For this particular game they are...
