For one night only, I've got my Utd scarf wrapped tight around my neck, my Bruno Fernandes blanket covering from shoulder to toe and my Marcus Rashford picture frame nailed on the wall above my TV. I'm ready, come on the red Mancs!!!!

Strong-ish side for me and then a few planned subs with 1 eye on City, bring back a 3 or 4 goal advantage then rest more for the home tie. This trophy has eluded us for far too long now. Kelleher Gomez Konate Quansah Tsimikas Endo Szobo Mac Gakpo Danns Nunez Virgil and Diaz for Ibou and Nunez at HT, Mcconnell and Koumas for Mac and Gakpo 60’ Momentum momentum momentum, we longer we keep this going the better chance we have.

This lad is a baller, give him the ball and he'll pick out passes as and when he pleases. Alexis is majestic, he's red and it's fantastic!! Lalalalala la la lalalala la la lalalalal la la. What? It's a great song.

I'm convinced there is no better CB partnership in the world than Ibou and Virgil. Saliba Gabriel is good, Rudiger Alaba is good, KIM and Upamecano is good, not gonna include sides like Inter or Leverkusen who predominantly play a back 3. Need to get VVD's contract renewal sorted ASAP, new 10 year deal.

Our CD release for the game is already said to be in the works and will surely be better than any DVD's Everton have ever release?

With that line up and given our first XI usually haven't done much better until now? Yes, brilliant. Game will then be won in the 2nd half and we can all go home happy.

You think this will be a walk in the park or something? This is a tough away day against a team fighting for their lives, that line up is horrendous so getting to half time at worst level would be brilliant.

This is gonna be rough, at least until the subs come on. Hopefully we can hold tight, maybe not concede a goal or 2 then unleash the animals from their cages.

Endo is a God. You can keep the average man down, but never a God. This is what he put on this earth to do.

That’s something the medical team need to answer for, like they would if Nunez and Szobo were to get injured today or midweek either starting or coming on. They’re the ones that have given the green light for them to train again, now they’ve had a few sessions no reason why they can’t start. If we’re now being overly cautious because we don’t trust our medical team, then that’s a whole new talking point. Either way the only damage done is to our season.

Leaked line up doesn’t make for pretty reading does it? It’s ironic how after suffering all these injuries and knocks, it’s our over cautiousness that could spell the end of our title aspirations if every week our mindset is “well he looks good, training again but he still feels a slight tickle in his ear” Just f***ing start Endo Szobo and Nunez.

Same reason why there wasn’t one last week. They used up the limit with how many times they can show a team, Liverpool, at that time.

Really looking forward to the 12:30 game BT have on later today. Oh wait….

Liverpool POTY easily is Virg, mind you before the injury Ali wasn’t far behind either. PL POTY will (as usually be the case unless you’re a Suarez or Salah breaking goalscoring records) decided on who wins the league. Rodri Haaland Virgil Salah Saka Rice Bruno or Maguire.

Arsenal every week. Ehh f*** it, when have we ever been known to do it the easy way?

Caught the last 20 or so, the thing is none of the reds cards were for anything crazy. The first was unlike anything you usually see where the player is asking for the game to be stopped whilst the ball is still in play, think it’s Pulisic who carries on before he tugs his shirt back and shown the 2nd yellow. Extremely card happy over in Italy, they won’t hesitate to brandish a yellow for even looking at you wrong.

We have to sign this player though.

Bayern Can't even deal with a simple throw, sublime goal that by Holer.

Yeah cracking finish by Tel. The touch to set it up was outrageous.

Bayern aren't very good.

Klopp out.

The Utd goal was given because Kavanagh is a born and bred Manc c***. And even if he wasn't a Manc c***, he'd just be a c***.

Sorry, I don't follow.

He’s been incredible the last 3-4 months after a few iffy moments earlier in the season. Always said if he can cut out the needless wrestling/tugging he’s susceptible to then he will reach world class level. On the ball he’s massively improved too, playing some of the best football of his career.

That you remember of, yes….but this is clearly not true which leads me to believe how much attention people actually pay to games,
