It’s very simple, cut out the stupidity, start concentrating for 90 minutes and we win this.

It’s going to be hard. They’re well organised and have fantastic support so would imagine that will carry over to their home ground.

I am clinging on to their poor home form (4 wins in 17 this season I believe in their league). We laid gloves on them on Thursday and on another night would have scored 4 or 5, so we can definitely break them down.

I’d start with Coufal at RB and Lanzini just ahead of Rice and Soucek, with Benrahma instead of Fornals on the left. Despite some poor composure in front of goal he gave their left side a torrid time during his 20 min cameo. Lanzini works that tighter space better than Fornals in the middle and has a better eye for a killer pass in the final third. I also think Fornals has suffered a dip in form at the wrong point of the season too.

We are more than capable of winning this tie, even in 90 mins. Turn up and play our best and we go through.

Agree about Benrahma Denzil. We need to score and out of our attacking midfielders (i’m excluding Bowen), he’s the most likely to create something.

Coufal has to start for me. His crossing today was largely excellent - having Soucek and Antonio running onto those could be fruitful

I don’t expect much of a shake up, but I would want Coufal and Benrahma to start in a game we have to win. They both offer more going forward. I don’t want another Fornals/Lanzini double act for this based on their last couple. As much as I rate Johnson, he struggled against these last time and we don’t have the luxury of trying to be tight.

They don’t play until Monday night away to Bayer Leverkusen ?
In fact Leipzig also play away tomorrow and they play Rangers away Thursday
Don’t seem German league helping these two?
I suppose they will play reserve team ? have to wait and see hopefully game on Sky ?

We do create a lot of chances but we also concede 2 nearly every game. So, 3-2 to us and we go through on penalties :scarfer:

Yes, gonna be kind of reserve team. The problem is, that on May 1st a lot of demonstrations take place and a lot of police is needed for that. Security authorities asked the leagues not to play.

Would these have been Sunday games ?
Obviously picked in advance
Welcome you have nothing really to play for in your league now?

Yes, after Euro League teams always play Sunday. The problem with thi sfixture is that there is just no time to postpone the match

We will need to sharpen up our final third game, which is looking very laboured.
Score first and we can take it, elation or despair await.

It’s been 40 years, please let the Gods favour us this time.

We don't need to go hell for leather. We are only a goal behind. Patience is the key, but keep it tight and wear them down

We score for fun in the Europa.

Yep..this sure is it and we’ve earnt the right to be in it. I would prefer to have Fredericks at LB rather than Cresswell. Much more pace and a physical presence.
It’s going to be an incredible night and I’m positive that we can win by the 2 clear goals we need in normal time. I would not want us to go to ET and penalties.
So it’s go hard early, get the equaliser and be patient but decisive in attack to wear them down. In the first leg you could see some of the Frankfurt players blowing out of their arses and if they are playing tomorrow; we could be in we’ll in. Let’s make history and a shout to those of you going - have fantastic and safe experience.

Ok it's only been two hours but so far theres been no tweets from the players, the last time this happened after a game was the Brentford game when we played Lyon 4 days later!

Under orders from Moyes?
