    Back to the Europy.

    Whatever the debacle of Sunday we're still playing for trophies and in a great position. We may not win them but it's great to look forward to each game knowing we're playing for something.

    This won't be an easy tie. Betis are 5th in the league, drew against Real Madrid over the weekend and topped their Europy group beating Mourhino's Roma along the way. And Pelligrini is a top manager.

    We have to bounce back. There needs to be a reaction from our players and a performance to match the standard we've been setting over the past 3/4 months.

    The only concern I have is fatigue and injuries. That isn't going away. We've no Eriksen and Sabitzer is out. Varane may be also. Having said that, I do think every player who played on Sunday will want to play tomorrow with something to prove.

    I think Malacia and AWB should start. And please... Weghorst on the bench.

    Would love to take a 2 goal lead into the 2nd leg but any win will do.

    Looking forward to tomorrow, need the fans being up for it as well.

    Don't know enough about Betis (nothing) to be concerned by who Dalot will be up against.

    I'd hope Weghorst is at No.9 and Fernandes at 10, with Rashford off the left though.

    Anything else would be ridiculous.

    Well hopefully not!

    Same 11, not the same set up hopefully.

    <doh>

    It's risky, Dalot especially. Pellegrini is a decent manager and he'll look to attack the same weaknesses.

    Maybe.

    And making an example of the ones who played to rectify it.

    The likes of Sancho and Maguire must
    think they're better off leaving though.

    And AWB.

    Juanmi up against Dalot.

    Ex-Southampton player.

    Remember Joaquin who used to play for Valencia. He's starting for them, 41 years old!

    Pellegrini was in the papers here saying United will either wilt or come out like pirates with knives between their teeth, hopefully the latter.

    He's been saying a lot. Bit too much tbh, some good, some crap harping back to City days.

    Bloody hell, I do remember him, yeah.

    He was a big deal back in those days.

    I remember us always being linked and it never happened.

    We could be 2 or 3 up easily but since then we've been poor. Can't get the ball off them. Playing like a team low on confidence.
