    As long as maguire and Rashford are benched we have a chance.

    We have to be careful against this Atletico team, on Friday they had 6 shots on target and scored 2. They’re not the most creative side but are clinical which doesn’t bode well for us. Still think we’ll squeak through but only just.

    McT and Bruno declared fit!
    No way Ronaldo will be dropped/ rested after Saturday. Good chance the game will go into extra time tho so strong bench is important

    DdG
    Dalot, Varane, Lindelof 🙄, Telles
    McT, Fred
    Elanga, Bruno, Sancho
    Ronaldo

    That leaves us with Cavani, Rashford, Pogba and Lingard as options off the bench

    With away goals no long relevant, we need to win outright or via penalty shootout, which I’m not confident of.

    Can see us being eliminated.

    We couldn’t see off Boro in the cup so nobody in their right mind would back us to see off Atletico, even if they’re a pale shadow of some of the more recent Atleti vintage.

    Would like us to get through for Ralf’s benefit but less so the horrible scrotes like Pogba, Rashford et al.

    Atletico have been progressively improving over the last few weeks. It looked like Simeone was on the way out back in Dec/Jan but they’ve been gathering momentum recently especially since Joao Felix was moved to the centre of the attack and Suarez moved to the bench. This will not be an easy game by any stretch of the imagination.

    I don’t don’t anybody is under any illusions how difficult this game will be. Especially if Maguire plays. But that’s what playing CL is all about. We probably won’t have CL football so need to enjoy it while we got it

    Looks like my predicted XI but Magurie instead of Lindelof

    I think it should be a close game. If we keep it tight at the back (McFred should help that) we will have a good chance as Ronaldo, Bruno, Sancho and Elanga is a good front 4

    @happy, you’ve gotta watch the game. Just go into it expecting Atletico to be favorites. They are a decent team. Champions of Spain. We are in absolutely rubbish form. We’ve got nothing to lose

    Who knows what we will serve up tonight. Would be nice to get through even if we’d be making up the numbers.
    Nobody on the bench can have any complaints on the starting 11 – for example, neither Rashford nor Cavani have contributed a jot this season.
    As always, Maguires lack of pace without the protection of a natural defensive midfielder is the worry.
    Good luck Ralf….

    Don’t know what Fred had for his dinner but he’s been sensational.
