    A home tie to a Greek team that are 30th (LLD) in the 36 team Europa League (we are 21st DDD) should be a very comfortable home win.

    Even with our dodgy form. They lost to the 6th placed team in the Romanian league.

    Should be an easy end to our year long horrendous record in Europe.

    Nothing less will do.

    Rumours that Amass is going to get a start.

    Would not surprise me if Ruud finds a way to get a debut in for an academy prospect during his short tenure and we for sure need to look at options for LB. I thought for the most part Amass looked promising on the tour.

    Read elsewhere he will likely feature, but from the bench vs a start - but would be nice to see Ruud get another debut to an academy player

    If we lose, first ever Greek win at Old Trafford.

    Like I said previously, a lot of these records have been broken lately. Let's see

    Utterly sleepy first half. Nothing remotely close to a goal.

    Tempo (or lack thereof) ...

    Ugarte / Casemero is a very negative midfield from Ruud given the oppo. The tempo is set in many ways by the central midfield, this midfield sets no good tempo.

    Given the oppo it is a surprise we are this bad - especially given the bump we should get from having a different manager.

    Ch ch changes please ....

    (Chelsea 6-0 up at HT against their weak oppo)

    70 minutes in and they have had 4 shots on target to our 3 ...

    A few minutes back they had a player unmarked centre of the goal just a few yards out and he managed to scuff hit it straight at Onana.

    Really poor performance.

    Really feel for Hojlund, our attackers are so greedy and play for themselves not the team. We play like we don't have a striker on the pitch. Ruud having coached the attackers has to shoulder some blame for this - as can't see Amorim letting them get away with these wasteful shots from distance / shots from angles rather than looking for the striker.
