Good, Willian will show Barcelona once again what they are missing.

I guess PSG or Atletico are already in the final. It would not be painful if one of them take the trophy.

In a one-off game, Atalanta have got a great chance. Don't rule them out.

Atalanta is very underrated. They have the best offense by far in Serie A. Their football is just so good.

Did John Moss do that EL draw for United?

On the assumption we don't do the impossible vs Bayern i'll be rooting for Atalanta after what the Bergamo region went through.

Inter still with an outside chance to win the Scudetto, Juventus just lost, hope Lazio can win as well today.

We should consider us lucky if we even reach past group stage.

Depending on who we get, it would be a MASSIVE failure if we don't get out of the group stage at the very least, especially after the summer spending.

If we get into one of those horror groups, it will be tough. Really tough.
It takes many matches to get into the right flow with all these new players.

6 new players in the starting eleven. That takes time. Pre season is short. I do not expect that much chemistry in the starting eleven til winter

On a side note, we really need to get our coefficient back up. It's pathetic right now, even worse than Dortmund and Shakhtar! If we're not careful, we could end up in Pot 3 soon.

So we've got just under a 50% chance of avoiding a major side from pot 1, that's pretty good going from our perspective but a bit ridiculous also.

killer lineup. Can Mason play in a double pivot tho?

The only sides i really dont wanna face in CL are bayern and PSG the others i think we can somewhat manage. Esp real and juventus are in such disarray we should be able to compete.

a double pivot of Kante and Mount will never work

Kante's partner needs to be the deeper-lying, actual DMF which frees up Kante to raom and destroy (if he can stay healthy)

that is never going to be Mount

Rice, yes. Mount no, Jorginho no (he is shot defensively), Kova no 

we have no idea partner for Kante atm unless Conor Gallagher explodes onto the scene or Ampadu does the same or we buy Rice and use him there

and if Lamps rams Kante back into that RMF role, it is going to blow up in his face just like it often did last year

I am sure he will be constantly injured again anyway

he needs to be sold ASAP

finally Rüdiger will start over the clumsy ball watcher Zouma more often than not I predict, or we might (would prefer this), bring in another CB, like Milan Škriniar or even Dunk

Zouma and Ac really need to be shipped out whilst we still can get decent cash for them

Did you missed his extension today?
