They will attack from the off i worry we will try and match them. We need to play on the counter there and be smartThey've typically stunk away in this comp but banged at home.
Will have their players back and a tricky artificial pitch they know every inch of inside out.
Really, we should have won 4-0 tonight, the way the game panned out.
And needed to come away with 3+, at least. imvho

We are barely better in the Europa in truth.
I just think the players need much better stewardship.
to think he thought tel could come on and do something as the game had "opened up" he really is a joke lol.
you knew as soon as tel was coming on that was us done.

The important thing, aside from keeping the near impossible clean sheet is to make them work very hard for their goals. That is essential. Drain their energy.

We need our mentally toughest players on that pit h next week, if possible.
He's a fucking idiot.
And people asking me why I'm concerned about the second leg... fml
Not sure if it's just away form home, but tonight they did seem to be press-fragile.
I think that that would be the ideal gameplan for us.
The only problem is, Ange has not got a clue how to set-up a cohesive press-plan with measured triggers.
We, invariably, end up a shapeless mess with massive holes in it.
If we had a competent manager I'd be much more confident.
Factoring everything in - I just can't see us winning there.
For me we needed to win the tie tonight and put it to bed.
And they gave us every opportunity to do that.
hes the sort of idiot to start son if hes fit, that will cost us. have to start dom and richy up top in this comp. we need madders starting too abnd VDV and romero to stay strong and we have a chance.
but youre right, the fat clown is a worry with his subs, hes so out of touch with football hes only going to do damage.
Yep,pretty much.
Unless the players they missed are utterly brilliant we have nothing to fear, but there is something about this club, these players and this manager, that make all of that redundant.
I expect nothing but pain for the next 168 hours
Son would have been ideal in the second half today. I hope he is fit for next week..
Yep. 100%.
The reality is we just play worse teams in the Europa league. So when Maddison & people on here talk about us playing well in Europe it’s all a bit misleading.
The fact United, a team with a 30 odd percent win rate under Amorim, will also be with us in a final tells you the quality of this competition.
Ange should go regardless.
sons not been ideal all year. hes well and truly finished.
Some success in europa competition is Nothing. Basement of Premier League flirting with Relegation is Everything.
Angie OUT Levy OUT.
COYS
So...we're one draw and one win from the Champions League next season, yes its through the back door...but we all deserve to get lucky once in a while.
In that regard if we do get through then we’ve a bigger issue assuming United get through which is likely they’re unbeaten in Europe this season the only team in any of the competitions…….just hand them the thing nowThey've typically stunk away in this comp but banged at home.

Nonsense. It's not through the backdoor. Winning the Europa league is a massive achievement and deserves a champion's league spot.
Its not some success. We are very close to our first major trophy in decades.
Ange came into this club and promised to shake the Spurs loser attitude and turn us into a trophy winning team. It seems most fans on this forum value top 4 above any trophy - and that has historically been our issue - Top 4 is the only ambition - get the TV Champs League money, but its not worth risking the investment required to try and win the thing.
YES. 17th is a disgrace. BUT, Ange has laid the foundations and shown LEVY and the board that this team IS CAPABLE. We can achieve success - but if you want it across multiple competitions, you need a proper squad.
Ange has shown the board - You can have a trophy; or you can have top 4. You can't have both if you expect u21's to be a major part of the squad.
should have put the tie to bed tonight really we had enough of the game. One thing that you notice is that we press individually. It’s mostly pointless. Solanke, Richarlison and Tel especially worked hard off the ball but it’s wasted energy.
The other players behind half go but don’t really commit then get caught in no mans land. Think we could of won the ball back fairly often if we’d backed up the first bit.

quite often when the players do try to press they have to run 10-15yds to press the player becuase their starting position is too far away from their player, again wasted energy
