Whats going on with him? Was he brought back in to get a move to China that fell through? Is he fit or not?

You think the positive is, that the titles gone for City so maybe they will play that shit against us, then you realise they will be scrapping for a Champions League place now.

FFS come on City.

Whats people predicted line up for next season should we stay up? Lets assume 7 first teamers staying, where do your four new signings go? Krul Janmaat New Mbemba New New New Sissoko Wini Perez Mitrovic

Any of them speak english?

Yep and getting them to scrap the 'Head Coach' bollocks too. Hope he brings HBA back in the summer. HOPE Oh stop it!!! Its already now hurting that this might happen

I'll take a 0-0 thank you

Can't believe this is actually happening, just hope we haven't left it too late. You can easily see this making a huge change in player performance which is a disgrace but I will take it. I wonder who his favourites will be and where this will leave the likes of Colback and Gouffran. It's the hope that kills you!

There speaks a nervous Leicester fan!

Hard to support Man Utd, but how can you not when you hear that awful "anthem" at Anfield

Most likely outcome

Not only is sacking McClaren our only chance now, but it has to be this evening, any longer than that and we are down (most likely are anyway)

Colo, Mbemba and Townsend all ruled out

I can't help but look at that list and think Chris Hughton is the last manager we sacked

How long is this guy out for? Even Kieron Dyer came back quickly from a pole in the eye

Red cards for Chelsea would be good

Best signing of the window so far

Gibbs would be a great signing

Assuming we just aren't going to get another two in on top of Townsend, would you rather we went for a forward or defender? It has to be a defender for me, we are still just one injury away from disaster at the back and if Townsend takes the left wing role then Perez is backup for Mitro

We need to get a proven goalscorer in and with us now odds on to go down I don't see who would be prepared to come to us permanently so we should go all out for Remy on loan with a view to permanent if we stay up.

We’ve only got four fit defenders, the majority of them centre-backs. Mbabu, Dummett and Colback are all out. Emmanuel Rivière will be on the bench (at Watford). There will be no Ivan Toney and no Siem de Jong. - Steve McClaren

What way are you lining up that midfield 4? Seems a waste of Sissoko to sit that deep and central

won't do though the land is being sold off and the fans are not putting up enough fuss so unfortunately we are f***ed with this size stadium forever Tbh, we don't need a bigger stadium, we wouldn't fill it. Even back during the Robson era there were empty seats at most league matches, for the Champions League matches it was half empty. Maybe if we had Dortmund-esque ticket prices it would be different, but that's just a pipe-dream in modern top flight English football, never going to happen anywhere. Don't think it was quite half empty for our CL matches.. I remember there being tonnes of empty seats. I wasn't intending 'half empty' to be taken literally btw, I'm know the attendances weren't 26,000, more like 40ish for most of them. Feyenoord there was 40K but Juve and Inter we had 50K Only had over 50,000 twice from 6 champions league games (Barca & Inter) to be fair. Juve was 48,000 and the other three were less than 41,000 Not great and goes some way to disproving the myth that if we were doing well again we could fill a 60,000+ stadium Never realised that. Just goes to show that you need to be careful what you wish for. When are we next going to be playing games like that? Thank goodness I went to the San Siro.

Has the squad been named for this yet? Is Thauvin in it? I wouldn't be for disrubting the Colo/Mbemba partnership so need someone to come in at left back. I guess the only options are a youngster or Gouffran

Deeney drops deep and it will need a DM to pick him up, has to be a task for Saviet.
