Saying this now, we play even remotely like we did today against Bournemouth and we lose.

There’s no way we play like we did today. Bruno will be back and the players will be the most motivated they’ve ever been

How many tickets are left do we think?

No idea, don’t think it’s possible to say due to them keeping some back for each ballot.

 

If it's accurate that there was 4K left the other day, there surely won’t be many for periods 5, 6 and 7 due to the number of people in period 4.

Watched them today, flattering score line, Leeds missed lots of opportunities and just seemed to capitulate when they conceded.  Man Utd’s limited performance, admittedly without Casemiro, and given they have Barcelona (away 16th, home 23rd) and a resurgent Leicester (at Old Trafford, 19th) before the final, has made me feel optimistic again.

Just for balance. They didn’t start 3 of their regular back 4, either. 
 

Their pace and directness out wide worries me. We have looked a bit exposed there of late.

I wasn't overly impressed with mankies today, they got the job done but leeds wasted some decent chances. I hope HM starts the final

Aye,you'd think Burn will have been scrutinised, and will be tested on the day. Plus Tripps will be busy with Rashford. Bruno will be a massive lift, needs to have his control over the occasion

 

They may well start Rashford on the right like today to play against Burn. Would feel alot more confident with Tripps dealing with him and Anthony on the right.

Actually feel a bit better about our chances in the final after watching them today , I never watch Man United but I did today and they were no better than we were yesterday. Leeds should have won really but couldn’t score , they have Casemiro back for the final as we do Bruno and we both struggle without them, can see it going all the way to penalties and is nothing between the two teams .

Not a chance. :lol: we rested players today and have a few injuries. There will likely be 5-7 changes from the team today for the final.

The problem is they are in better form but most of all, seem like they will have a fully fit squad bar Eriksen to choose from.

 

Where as we look absolutely shagged and players are starting to drop like flies. 

 

Was really hoping we could go toe to toe with them and be at our absolute best but unfortunately it's looking like really bad timing for us at the moment. :(

Them playing a big European game 3 days before works in our favour though surely.
