Even his passing is overrated. He screws up passing quite often and my oh my does he like to do it against Madrid...

Waiting for his mental brain fart on wednesday. I might put in a bet for 2-1 madrid.

Even his passing is overrated. He screws up passing quite often and my oh my does he like to do it against Madrid...

I mean for a keeper he is unusually comfortable with his feet, part of the whole passing from the back thing. If you muck up it generally goes very wrong but most keepers simply don't have the technical ability to play anything like that. De Gea is good with his feet and his passing too, but he often mucks that up.

Who do you think will replace him at Barca when he leaves? Bit too early for my De Gea to Barca prediction.

Didn't realise the two were playing this week. Will probably watch that, what time is in on?

Im confident we will tear them to shreds.

Both teams are back in form tbh. So it's gonna be a tougher match than you think. Although ramos being out would be a big miss.

Ramos and Pepe being out so it means either Varanne,Albiol or Carvalho. Any one of them i would fancy to take them to bits. I think it should be 2-0 or 3-1 to us.

Guess it'll be a varane-carvalho partnership(experience with potential). Think they should have kept garay and used him tbh.

We'll see what happens there though. Think it's gonna be a 2-2 draw, the real madrid defence doesn't look great but they have goals in front of them. Reckon they'll attack for 10-20 mins, get a goal and park bus the rest of the match like usual, find out they're behind(60-70 mins) and then press you guys like mad or they'll completely lose their heads and you pick them off while someone gets a red card. They don't have di maria either so that means callejon to come on.

Di Maria Injured again ?

Na, got a red card because joao pereira was being a ****. Saying that di maria was no angel too.

I see what you did there...

Does anybody think Kagawa should start against Real Madrid?

Cleverley and Carrick will surely be played, but I think Kagawa should start on the left. Nani and Welbeck simply aren't good enough. Plus, Kagawa is more likely to track back, something that's rather important against a club like Real Madrid.

I'd expect Valencia and Rafael to double up on Ronaldo. I just hope Ronaldo doesn't choose to switch wings. If he's one-on-one with Evra, he'll kill him. That said, Evra has had an amazing season so far.

I know Nani has been playing ****

Has he!? Looked pretty good to me on Saturday - one of the more dangerous players on the pitch.

Never would have expected Scholes to do something so stupid.
