GWT: Europa League - Knockout Playoffs and Knockout Rounds

[Jussi]

.....what?

I didn't say they were related to Arsenal. I said that Phil Jones was somehow gonna come back to screw us over because he always felt like one of those players who just played very well whenever he played Arsenal. With Varane and Martinez out, I was joking because Phil Jones is still in the squad and there aren't many other CBs.

He's actually not. But how would Phil Jones screw over Arsenal when United and Arsenal have already met twice this season?

 

[hatterson]

Jones is still under contract but isn’t on the 25 man roster.

 

[Jussi]

ETH said he's spoken with Martinez and it is not Achilles. On the replays it looked like his right ankle twisted, so possible ligaments?

Couple of great close range saves in added time from sub keeper Perin to prevail Juventus slender win.

It almost looked like he was confused at first. He took that step, went down, and almost looked at his foot like “wtf was that”

Hence the somehow and it being a joke. Congratulations you figured out basic humor

They had a good end to the 2nd half but overall they had a lot of breaks go their way. They’re somewhat fortunate to be tied and fortunately for them United will likely be missing their 4 best players in the 2nd leg.

They've been somewhat fortunate in all their EL wins, and I'd argue that in a 2-game elimination tournament fortune plays a big part.

I mean it takes luck to win anything really. Last night was insane all around though.

 

[hatterson]

Success for United today will be no injuries.

Obviously advancing should be the goal, but if they advance and lose someone even moderately important to an injury I'll be far more upset than if they stay healthy and don't advance.

 

[Jussi]

Sabitzer starting, Malacia, Shaw and Rashford on the bench.

 

[cgf]

Hlozek getting the start over Adli. I think that'll help if other union's organization swallows all of the space again.

 

[hatterson]

Sabitzer starting, Malacia, Shaw and Rashford on the bench.

Rashford on the bench is a huge relief in terms of looking forward to his availability in future games.

 

[hatterson]

lol camera cuts to the crowd just as a dude falls over into the people in front of him. Great timing.

 

[cgf]

Well that was quick

 

[hatterson]

lmao Maguire

 

[luiginb]

Maguire and Upamecano would be a hell of a backline.

 

[gary69]

Maguire masterclass

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Maguire masterclass

Tbf he was put in a bad position.

 

[Jussi]

lmao Maguire

De Gea really put him in a bad position when he was surrounded by 3 players. AWB was wide open.

 

[hatterson]

Tbf he was put in a bad position.

Of his own making. It was a poor pass back to De Gea and then he was calling for it back.

Yes De Gea is poor with the ball at his feet, but a pass to Maguire like that should never result in a clean giveaway.

 

[luiginb]

Mendilibar is quite the character, love the guy
