I noticed your post as I replied. I didn't think there was any evidence of him doing so, just wishful thinking that he could do a job.

I still feel another GK is needed. Sanchez & Jorgensen for another season doesn't fill me with the greatest confidence.

Has he ever played a professional game there, though? We definitely won't have a chance of trialling such things in games with no Conference League.

There are some players I sense just aren't to Maresca's liking, he being one of them. Veiga played 15 times for Juve as a CB, something that isn't very unlikely to happen here.

Chilwell, Veiga, or Gusto at LB. They are the options we currently have. There's still so many question marks surrounding a number of players who could still do a job if needed.

How different things might have been had they beaten Spurs. I'm still not sold on Amorim, tbh. He might have only been in charge for a few months, but just at the stark contrast between his impact & Pereira at Wolves.

Not exactly ideal for other clubs on the continent, though. It will just wider the gap with the rest (Al Ahly are by far the dominate side).

Not sure they can afford much else right now. Teams aren't exactly lining up to take away their wantaway players either.

If United are going to kick off the season with Hojlund or a free agent like DCL, they won't have a sniff of CL football.

Him delivering like he in his debut season means there's less noise about James being played in midfield. I hope we keep hold of him and see a similar turn in form to Cucu.

Edit - I stand corrected

@TheHulk You are Maresca's number fan. Has he done enough by making us World Champs? 😄

Shameful from Enrique. Sore losers

World champions!!!! We relish being underdogs.

Is great having a different profile of CF once again. Delap has had a great cameo & is very unlucky not to be on the scoresheet.

Red all day. This ain't the first time Cucu has received such treatment. PSG deserved all the plaudits until today. They look like sore losers.

We might be 3-0 up with around 15m~, but we still have to be alert and not give this dire ref a chance to have a say.

If only Lavia was fit. Never a fan of square pegs, etc. I just hope it pays off tonight. Our biggest game in some time (don't go with the narrative of biggest game ever).

I agree. It feels like he's someone we'll never be able to fully rely on similar to James.

I feel we have a real chance if Caicedo is fit to start, and we are smart about our approach. If we try to take them head on, we'll follow those before us this calendar year.

Palace's FA Cup triumph didn't count for much on the bigger scale. The reverse of Lyon's relegation means Palace will play in the Conference League instead.

And potentially European football as well (Lyon's relegation being overturned means Conference League qualifiers await).

He has repeatedly saved them over the years. Just look at the last minute save against Dortmund. Alonso's line up was questionable from the get go. Far too attacking.

I doubt Washington will be up to much either.

With more over 35 minutes remaining, all but one of them came on, but they were unable to change the outcome. With the Ballon d'Or and a significant trophy on the line, Dembele is the one (I was going to mention him) who could make the difference.
