EL: Manchester United - FC Barcelona (4-3)

[Barcaman]

We'll be fine. United does look the best version of themselves in years but Barca is great at the back this season and Lewandowski up-front is a menace.

Rashford is good, but he's not as explosive as Vinicius to need man-marking. Doubt there's any truth to that.

Araujo will pocket Rashford.

I agree with this. I don't think it's necessary.

Rashford is going through one of those crazy hot streaks. Will come down to earth soon.

Willing to take a bet against anyone here that we'll advance

Would anyone here actually bet against their own team?

Remember, changing numbers is not allowed mid-season in Europe, hence why Gavi plays with #30 tomorrow.

Liverpool in 5th is some bullshit though. Shouldn't even be top 10, just like Chelsea. Arsenal should be 5th, and United then 7th.

 

[Andresito]

Expecting same the exact same lineup as last game. Only possible rotation is Alba for Balde, but I hope not.

 

[PhilS]

Agree.

Underlying metrics are far more accurate in showing how good a team is than its results or position
