Despite our shitty away form in the CL knockouts, i'm quite optimistic about this one. We always seems to turn it on against EPL teams, especially Messi. Plus both him and Suarez are close to unplayable right now. Suarez and Coutinho will also be fired up, since it's United. If Coutinho fails, Malcom awaits from the bench with his confidence sky high right now. And maybe even Dembele will get some minutes, which would be awesome too, but only if necessary, otherwise we shouldn't risk him getting back too quickly.
And as a team we also have a point to prove after the last few years to break to quarters curse. All these facts coming together, I must say I'm feeling good about this one. Their defense against Messi and Suarez...i'll be amazed if we don't score at least once, but I'll go one step further and say I think we'll actually win too. And we've been much better this season at grinding out results, which comes into play a lot more in the CL knockouts, and we're especially great at not giving up until the end, playing to the last second this season.

WTF. Rakitic is trashed here mostly. He is a workhorse, that's about it. He will give you the OK/good performance every game.
He has many admirers ( strangely) ..

Another england screamer from rakitic awaits, just to shit on you yet again.
What`s with your obsession with bashing Rakitic? There`s like a million of your posts shitting on him.
You don`t like him, we get it. Get over it already ffs.

I reckon it will be one of the games in which Rakitic can actually make a difference, though. We will get time and space on the ball in the midfield. It's when we're being pressed that he's mostly useless.

Man needs an anger management. I dislike some of our players to. But I don't shit on them before they acctually shit something up. That is because they wear blaugrana.

United will attack first ten minutes an try and get a goal. We're always vulnerable during the first ten minutes because we need to get our rhythm.
Mostly they will sit back but at home I believe there will be short phases where they will attack.
This is the business end of the cl. We have good squad depth but an ordinary manager. If you have 5 bad minutes at this stage of the competition you can be eliminated.

They were outclassed by Psg but still won. I hope we're not as complacent as Psg. If we play at a decent level a draw is the minimum.

Valencia, Bailly, Sanchez & Herrera ruled out for United. Rashford has been involved in training while Matic is questionable
Young, Herrera, Shaw, Valencia & Matic all a booking away from suspension
On Barcelona's side, only Semedo is at risk of missing the return leg at Camp Nou with a booking tomorrow night.
