How much you wanna bet United get the easiest possible draw in Ajax (no disrespect to them) and the Solsjkaer love-in continues when they beat them?

United will draw Ajax and City will draw Porto who they will easily blow away.

Ajax is NOT a 'blow away' team

have you watched them play?

IF (they are already being torn apart, with de Jong and soon de Ligt leaving) they could have stayed together and added a few key players

they could be easily one of the best teams in the world in a couple years

[Vesper 30,123]

the WORST possible outcome

is

Spuds win CL

and Victimpool winning the EPL

Arse wins EL

we finish fourth and spuds and Arse 5th and 6th and we get no CL

that is slit my wrist level

What we can learn from liverpool is that the key to modern football is speed. Quick legs, quick feet on the ball and a quick mind. Most of our players have none and our manager needed 7 months to realize Alonso is shit.

Ajax certainly isn't the easiest draw. I'd say Porto and Spurs right now are below them.

Ajax will beat United. In fact, I'd say that Porto, Spurs and United would be the top3 best draws for Ajax. Allegri's Juve would also be in trouble with Ajax if they didn't have that one lad named Ronaldo up front

my all speed team (based off what we have)

GK Kepa

CB Éder Militão or Manuel Akanji

CB Rudiger

LB Alex Telles or Ferland Mendy or Junior Firpo

RB Aaron Wan-Bissaka or Achraf Hakimi

DMF Thomas Partey or Diadie Samassékou or Denis Zakaria or Amadou Diawara

CMF Kante

AMF Kai Havertz or Julian Draxler or Talisca

LW Hirving Lozano or Ismaïla Sarr

RW Nicolas Pepe or Leon Bailey

CF Timo Werner

 

that would be the paciest team on the planet

So true.

We got away with for a couple of seasons, when Pedro and Willian were still at their best fitness levels. Willian's dribbling pace couple of seasons ago was electric. He could easily take the ball from a congested midfield and make it to the final third.

Now we hardly have anyone with that ability. Only Hazard and Kante in midfield, and maybe CHO from the bench.

To top it off, both our CF's, Giroud and Higuain, can hover around the box, but can't be expected to break at speed.
