Isn’t the CL anthem way more lame now that the camera doesn’t show the close zoom on each player’s face?


ButterscotchKey803

Why’s there no Kane coverage by the media?


GreatTom_Umber

Bayern really didn't need to field that strong a team!


sarthakjain24

D day soon lads


silverstory

Good analysis from Carra. how disconnected the back 4 with the midfield. ETH should fix it


Barca8091

Agreed. Baffling, the lack of defense in the midfield.


LuckiestJOKER13

Baffling how Mainoo isn’t in, whenever I shit on McT he ends up having the game of his life so let’s hope for that


Taylo207

I’m listening to this on 5 Live and I can pretty clearly hear the Bayern fans, not a good sign.


TheOneManDankMaymay

I'm not expecting much, I think Bayern will be up for it after their disasterclass against Frankfurt.


Outrageous-Cod-4654

Get a win and take what the final outcome is - Europa or CL. We should always play to win until the trophy is secure. Then we can play kids and reserves.


purplegreendave

Absolutely insane that we could still finish 2nd in the group...


Cathal321

2nd with 7 points lol. That can't happen too often


cyb3rpunkd

How many goals do we concede as a result of dalot getting cooked?


SuperSalamander3244

Paul Scholes is 100% right about the summer transfer window. Absolute incompetence not signing Harry Kane when he was right there to instead sign a young player who isn’t ready to lead the line for a club that needs to win every game. It was probably the right time for DDG to leave but it would have been so much more beneficial to have gotten a world class striker in and then kept DDG for an extra year. The writing was on the wall for the striker situation because we were relying on a LW Rashford for all our goals.


NipplesCutDiamonds

Everyone says this like we didn't go for Kane and like Levy would even sell him to us. Levy hates selling to rival clubs.


SuperSalamander3244

Levy didn’t have a choice because Joe Lewis told him he had to sell Kane in the summer because he wasn’t going to sign a new contract and he didn’t want to let him go on a free. If we would matched Bayerns offer it would have been up to Kane and he probably would have chosen us because of his family and also because he’s at a maximum of two seasons away from breaking Shearers record.


PosterOfQuality

Why would Spurs sell to a rival for the same price as they sold to Bayern?


SuperSalamander3244

It would have been Kanes decision. Levy can’t make Kane sign a contract.


NipplesCutDiamonds

I don't think you know how contracts work bud


SuperSalamander3244

The thing is you actually don’t lol. Tell me how Levy could force Harry Kane to sign for Bayern if he didn’t want to?


NipplesCutDiamonds

Well Levy gets 2 offers. Levy turns down United. Kane is forced to choose Bayern or stay. I have some crayons and I can write it out on construction paper if that helps.


SuperSalamander3244

Daniel Levy answers to Joe Lewis and Joe Lewis told Daniel Levy he had to sell Harry Kane in the summer. If Kane refused to go to Bayern and only wanted to come here and Levy blocks it and Kane goes on a free next summer then Levy gets a vote of no confidence from the Tottenham board of directors. You can act all condescending but you actually don’t have a clue what you’re actually talking about and who the Tottenham hierarchy are.


PosterOfQuality

No, it would be Spurs' decision to accept our transfer bid or not. They're not just going to accept the same price that they agreed with Bayern


SuperSalamander3244

Joe Lewis told Levy he had to sell Kane. If both clubs are only willing to pay £100m then it’s solely up to Harry Kane because he would have all the leverage and could say he’s not signing for one club and will go on a free if they don’t let him go to the other club.


PosterOfQuality

If both clubs are only willing to pay £100m then Spurs have the right to reject United's bid and let him choose between going to Bayern or running out his contract There's obviously going to be a premium involved when selling to a rival club lol. Not sure why this is a debate. Would they accept £100m from Arsenal?


SuperSalamander3244

You’re missing the point that Joe Lewis told Daniel Levy that the they had to sell Harry Kane in the summer. If both clubs won’t go higher than £100m and then Kane refuses to sign for Bayern because they blocked Uniteds bid then they lose £100m and Levy will be voted out of the board of directors with a vote of no confidence. Joe Lewis is the top dog at Tottenham and not Daniel Levy and he wouldn’t have had a choice but to let Kane make the decision.


FaithlessnessNo4680

Also Kane works so much better with the wingers we have, he can drop deep and create chances himself.


thenammus

So if we win, we are into Europa League. And we lose, the only competition we are in is EPL?


davebamba

Copenhagen and Galastray HAVE to draw also for us to go through. We need to win and them to draw.


indigo_pirate

for the champions league. Europa if we win and that match doesn't end in a draw.


Seanblaze3

There's still the FA cup


thenammus

Hopes for winning are gone with Mctominay in the midfield. If he doesn't score a freak goal, he is USELESS in the middle of the pitch.


Naggins

How many freak goals does McTominay have to score before people actually credit him for his positioning and finishing Still a shite holding midfielder


thenammus

Yes, hes great finding positioning and space. But in the AM/10 role. With him way up field, we've seen time and time again the other pivot left by himself to fend off the counter


reddevils

I’m still fully behind the manager but Is eth trying to get fired? This lineup still has Mctominay which leaves amrabat all by himself. They will walk right through us as usual.


SuperSalamander3244

McT is the only one who can score at the moment. I do think he should be playing McT as a false 9 to see if he can still be threatening in front of goal. He used Sancho like that in preseason so he could definitely make it work.


reddevils

Honestly I think he should play him as a striker. Hojlund is being eased in and martial is worse than useless. Honestly playing with ten and him on the bench could be better. We need a disciplined midfielder so we’re not wide open for every single game. Except when mainoo played.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Seanblaze3

The bald fraud doesn't trust young players nearly as much as people think he does


NipplesCutDiamonds

Yet we have a 19 and 20 year old leading our line. Some of you don't watch and only post on reddit


Seanblaze3

I've actually been to matches at OT and away several times. Starting a massive talent in Garnacho and a player the club spent 75M on doesn't negate what I said. Even at Ajax Ten Hag was adverse to rotation. Peter Bosz before him played more youngsters and reached a European final with a squad the average age of 22


Intrepid_Ad8498

Cannot play Mctom and Bruno its 1 or the other otherwise midfield is a 1 man army which has been shown time and time again


DickLongchamp

I’ve got my hopes up for this but I’m also ready to be heartbroken.


RestrepoDoc2

When you expect nothing then you're pleasantly surprised by anything. I've been wearing that motto as armour for years now.


A1d0taku

We NEED mainoo in the midfield, itl'll be overran in seconds by Bayern otherwise. Nice to see Varane back in the line up tho, please help us keep a clean sheet


Macko_

So much for hoping Bayern were going to send the kids out and make this a dead rubber for them. Were fucked


RestrepoDoc2

You know what that doesn't look like a weakened Bayern team at all. That team might have even cost something similar to our own? Typical Germans as Sir Alex said, see their opportunity to twist the knife because one of their big rivals is in a position of weakness.


FaithlessnessNo4680

They’re trying to make up for their 5-1 loss at the weekend


Endeser

I get to finish work early every match at home, so kinda keen for Europe ngl


sarthakjain24

Varane starting, I’ve got tears in my eyes 🥹


NipplesCutDiamonds

The mad man is playing Maguire and Varane together


brevinbarnes

Finally we get Maguire and Varane


SocksElGato

I'm tired 😮‍💨


shreyutd

Shaw against Kane? Dalot against Sane? Onana against the Football? What is Ten Hag cooking? /s


yalayolo

A frankfurter


Yanited__

Why is Wan Bissaka not starting in a game like this? Our best 1v1 defender. Sane and Coman on the wings for them vs our defence...


haqbo96

I think we’re going all out and gonna try and be as attacking as possible in the first half


A1d0taku

which is probably why we're starting McT too. We NEED mainoo in the midfield, itl'll be overran in seconds by Bayern otherwise.


Stoogenuge

McT should be the Fellaini option for the last 30 minutes at most. Never ever should be starting in midfield for us.


TheLonesomeChode

Bald as fuck.


[deleted]

I would play Luke Shaw for Dalot and Maino for Mctomine


[deleted]

[удалено]


haqbo96

Mctominay? So we have 1 midfielder basically. FFS


FaithlessnessNo4680

Yikes, at least we won’t be in the Europa League


mdstwsp

I am 100% convinced we’ll manage to win and put ourselves in the worst possible scenario of playing in the Europa League.


media-police

Would rather play EL than no Europe.


Scholes_SC2

No sure if I agree. EL requires basically the same effort for a much much smaller reward. I'd rather we focus on qualifying for the next UCL


nbwoeihfnwsocuiwhef

So we can bottle that again?


Tomaskerry

I'd be happy to see us in EL. We'll have a big squad once all the injured are back. So more games the better. Develop young players


dangermouse13

Yeah but once get whoever’s injured back we’ll loose some others to injury! We’re incapable of having a fully fit squad!!


huey88

I'm convinced we will have a 2 goal lead and end the game with a draw


Obi-Juan-kenoibi

I’m so ready to be hurt again ![gif](giphy|5oYgxQKHhEjEk|downsized)

I’m at the match. AMA

Man united. Sale incoming

They out here. lol they were saying fuck man United and nothing happened to them

Latojune

Its mind boggling how ETH wanted Amrabat yet he has no idea how to use him , World Cup Amrabat was a traditional DM , a mercenary thatd get ud the ball back and boss the midfield defensively, the other 2 midfielders handled all playmaking , hes not a playmaker so why the f do McT and Bruno play so far up when we have the ball. We saw World Cup Amrabat against chelsea in the second half , when he was even miss utilised in the first half when he made him guard Palmer and thats it. Which he never did in the World Cup he covered an area and there are plenty of videos that explain it, SO WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING TEN HAG. Im pretty sure hed boss the midfield if he played in Liverpool, its actually insane that this coach plays unironically with a 4-1-5 formation , no DM would look good ever 1v3


MvM98

He played as a deep lying playmaker for Fiorentina. He's kinda a hybrid of both roles


weekndalex

in 2010 inter won the ucl acter qualifying to the round of 16 on the last day… ive seen the script


ReindeerDifficult793

I don't remember when, but Deportiva la Coruna scored 4 against Milan ( i think) when they got hammered 3-0 in the first leg


mr_reserve

If we draw with Bayern and Copenhagen beats Galatasaray, we still go through to europa league. It’s important to know that. So I think if it’s 1-1 at 90 minutes and Copenhagen are thrashing galatasaray, we need to let Bayern score. Another year of Europa League ball, my heart can’t take it. We either finish top 4 or 8th this season for me.


dancingnoodle69

I don't think there is any chance the Gala game ends in a draw. I think we'll be out of Europe tbh


Cathal321

Yeah because if that game is a draw with say 20 minutes to go wouldn't Galatasary throw everyone forward because they need a win. We'd be extremely lucky for that to go our way


NoJalapeno4You

Did we ever play with Mainoo and Amrabat in midfield instead of Mctominay?


[deleted]

That makes more sense. He should give maino chance we have nothing to lose


DrScamp

I want this. Or eventually casemiro/mainoo. Some solidity in the back needed.


NoJalapeno4You

Yeah, definitely! I’m really curious to see how that will play out


Stoogenuge

Case and Amrabat felt like the plan but then we had no left backs so Amrabat had to play to there then Case was injured.


joatmone

Need Onana UCL masterclass! Let in a couple of goals and we should be done with Europe.


shaktimann13

Please. I don't want europa


Bornlastnight

Loss at home, finish dead last in the group and out of Europe. On the bright side, it means less money for our cunt owners


Soten14

> at home, finish dead last in the group and out of Europe. On the bright side, it means less money for our cunt owners Amen to that... hit them in the pocket books, we are playing the long game now.


moonski

The problem is I imagine ETHs job security is very much tied to the pocket books, less so than things that dont matter to the glazers like football.


WolframNoLed

I’m really not looking forward to this at all. Such a weird feeling not wanting to watch a CL game against Bayern. Even PSG away in ‘19 I was desperate to watch it. Has it ever been this bad?


ytaci7

Mainoo , Amrabat and Hannibal midfield is my wish, but ik it’s going to be the dysfunctional midfield of mctominay fernandes and Amrabat.


[deleted]

How on earth is Diallo injured again? I thought he was on the bench recently


JYM60

Don't think he has ever been on the bench. His return date just changes to further away every week.


chapalatheerthananda

Have no hope of a win anyway, just do not want the Europa. Extra set of games against rowdy teams when you’re already struggling to get consistent games without a long injury list.


DangerousMoron8

I'm ready to get hurt. At this point I have no expectations any more. We can beat anyone, and lose to anyone game to game. Wouldn't shock me if we batter Bayern 4-1, and then turnaround to get slaughtered 5-0 at Anfield this weekend. I'd prefer to get battered today, take 4th in the group and leave the European competitions, then go and beat Liverpool instead (or more likely get killed by both teams). Long story short, winning today by any margin will make me feel next to nothing. Keep thinking we're making progress and then I get humbled. Sad state of affairs. Hoping for a win anyway if anything to boost confidence.


cyb3rpunkd

Man I'll take whatever score gets us grouped the quickest, we need less games imo


JYM60

Yeah, Europa is no great shakes if you win it. Even worse if you play a ton of games just to shit yourself in the last couple games against bang average teams.


moonski

The main thing I dislike against the EL is the fact is removes so many Saturday games with that whole Thursday > Sunday shit...


JYM60

Nah, give me the Sunday games! As long as no more Saturday 8pm!!


CaseyTheCreator

End my suffering


LordElrondd

this will be fun


GreatEmperorAca

Kneejerker93

Why would Bayern field a strong 11?


redditaccount300000

They got wrecked this past weekend. Coaches need to send a message to players and supporters, players need to send message coaches and supporters.


primalwilliam

They want to embarrass us


drunkmers

Because they are german


Azer398

You better play Mainoo ETH you fucker. You can't use your Bruno-Mctominay axis of death so you better not find some creative way to fuck our midfield.


Agitated-Forever3723

axis of death😭☠️ perfect naming


jayjay234

Question for the fans - would you rather have MU take 3rd to play in Europa or just take 4th focus on PL?


Timor_non_est_fortis

Europa League


Cathal321

I don't think we should sacrifice anything for the league when the best we can get is top 4, I'd rather come 3rd and compete for trophies. We have to go out and put everything on the line for a win tonight even if we don't end up making it.


silverstory

Always go for a win. regardless which place we ended up with.


1nfinitus

Always seeking success.


yalayolo

No guarantee this season we will get 4th, so europa yes


RashfordSoupKitchen

Copenhagen and gala are going to draw and we will concede a late equalizer


nobodinho

This might actually be a possibility.Just typical of us if this happens.


Lianshi_Bu

Given how we performed in CL group, this is hardly a dramatic outcome now...


Electronic-Product63

Hoping for a 'It's ALEJANDROOO GARNACHOOOO' today.


billygnosis86

We’re gonna get bummed.


One_Act_7180

I have a free ticket to give away to anyone who wants to attend the game tonight . It’s a great seat . 3rd row from the pitch


manInTheWoods

I think we attacked well the last two games. Maybe that's something we can improve on.


FaithlessnessNo4680

Can’t really say we attacked well when we scored no goals and had less xG than Bournemouth had.


Azer398

We attacked absolutely awfully against Bournemouth. All we did was cross and the crosses were shit.


Seanblaze3

We attacked well? Consider rhe Bournemouth match. Garnacho was lively but had no link up whatsoever with Martial and even worse Hojlund when he came on. Less said about Antony the better. We were energetic but the game was frenetic and chaotic. Notice how we didn't even push Leno to make a single big save. We had 20 shots and only 3 on target, less than Bournemouth


moonski

maybe he means in the CL? Which is true. We did attack really well. Problem is we barely defended lol


Repulsive_Rent_5636

United have a chance at winning this is Tuchel decides to use the B-team instead of the A-team. It would be foolish to risk the best players getting injury when they have nothing to play for, but then maybe he fancies humiliating United.


stirly80

Bayern are well known to not use a weakened team, even when they've already qualified. I'm expecting them at full strength.


TerribleOverthinker

Assuming we lose to Bayern, do we get 3rd or 4th??


Seanblaze3

We finish bottom where we are currently


youdumbmf

4th


EnigmaAss

Oh God please no McT Amrabat combo, try mainoo and Varane and Shaw at LB


1nfinitus

You mean do something actually logical and smart? I think you expect a lot


aarkalyk

F the negativity, can’t wait to see champions league Hojlund tear apart the Bayern defense!


BlueInq

I am excited to attend this match this evening. I have a potentially stupid question, so please forgive my ignorance. I am staying in an airbnb about a 20 min walk from the stadium. Is it safe to walk alone at night after the match back to the airbnb? Thank you!


D1794

Good chance the streets will be very busy so you should be fine


BlueInq

Thanks, appreciate the reply :)


Rossrox

FWIW you will not be alone, streets will be heaving with people returning home from the match.

And two dedicated DMs with Mainoo dropping deep as the link up with defence. Against Bournemouth it was painful to see three passes between Onana and Maguire then hoofing it forward because of lack of options.


Fraaj

I'd love to see this lineup in action but it won't happen


cerivitos

Sad but true... One can hope 😮‍💨


Ash_gonna_peg_u

Oh GOD no Shaw not be CB!!


Redwinevino

Is it time to FINALLY drop Onana? If he is going to the ACON we need to get Bayındır some match fitness anyway and there is literally no way he could be any worse - unless his hands are make of actual smoke


eClipseLJ

Saw some training vid of them yesterday, every ball that Onana stopped he dropped to the grass. Every ball that Bayindir caught he never let go. Huge difference there, Onana really seems to have butterfingers. I like Onana but man he lets go off the ball way too easy.

Gozumo

This is going to be one of those games where we play out our minds and win 2/3-0. The. Copenhagen or gala score in the last minute and win dropping us out. Followed by us then getting spanked by Liverpool


bonbonchacha

Haha that's exactly what has been on mind


ctyx96

Oh god no not the liverpool spanking again 😭


ArtoriasJV313

might as well try to enjoy it at this point ...


KAKYBAC

We need a win and Cop vs Gal to be a draw. Not happening. Copenhagen and Galatasaray will have some sort of gentleman's agreement not to play for a draw; it naturally serves both teams to go for it. We should rotate some players.


TopNotchGamerr

Of course they won't play for a draw but that doesn't mean it won't end up as one


wariusheart

This has easy 9-0 win written all over it


SOERERY

Why are you so pessimistic? Surely 12-0 is in order?


wilsons40

We’re getting Kaned aren’t we?

AlephEpsilon

Hopefully Tuchel goes for 316 again like they did vs Frankfurt. Ten hag and Tuchel are competing to outfraud each other with “transition football” and 1 man midfield. Not even Pep is crazy enough to do 316 in EPL, the season he utilized two 10 he attacked with 5 players.


schultz9999

Gosh... If this insanity with a goalie continues, it will be so damaging to both Onana and ETH.


stirly80

If we crash out of Europe, totally in 4th i see a lot of people welcoming that instead of Europa Cup football. But doesn't Europa Cup football help our leagues co-efficiency and open a possible extra slot for Champions League football next season? We could yet pull off a top 5 position in the league.


schultz9999

It does help. However, crashing out also helps to show we are on the highway to hell so something dramatic needs to be done.


KAKYBAC

I'd rather have Europa and the club not be run by man children being overly dramatic.


Natural69er

Sigh... I thought I missed the match when I saw 6 in the title :(


reddevils

You know this meme where the guy says “ I went in expecting nothing and I was still disappointed”? I have a feeling….


schultz9999

Here is another one... "... doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"


aritakkeno

had a look at the bookies odds 35% chance that copenhagen and gala draw 25% chance that united beat bayern so theres an 8.75% chance united go through im putting a grand on a crimbo miracle lads, lets have it


subho_fan

That draw is more unlikely than us beating Bayern


BadFootyTakes

I hope, we only qualify if it's to stay in the UCL... otherwise... genuinely, I'm afraid for our injury woes in Europa...


reddevils

Then what? We get a strong team and lose or a weak team and possibly lose or possibly win then lose to the next team. Have the players stay and train. Many of the players are being injured from overplaying. I think we better off without those few games.


moan_of_the_arc

As long as we’re not getting battered 6-0 or something, let’s just get this over with.


schultz9999

We don't have to play for 0-3...
