We should be ok on Saturday, but after the long journey, in expecting a turgid and frustrating game.

never really got this long journey thing, they will be in 1st class and no doubt asleep in a big comfy bed - would it really effect you ? or am i missing something, its not as if the player is on a ryain air flight,crammed in, sat up right unable to get comfy -

I imagine the club will try keep the players on uk time - its only 2 hours ahead so hardly anything to worry about ...

England's teams still gonna be strong this year for me
I agree,English teams will do very well.

Madrid and psg will be the teams to beat,but outside of that I can see possibly a couple of semi finalists from england.
Not sure if barca have improved this season,they were poor for them last season and juve and monaco are both much weaker and bayern look a shadow of previous teams.

Barca seem a lot stronger than people are thinking- deffo worth an outside bet at 13/2

Happy to be proved wrong, but we never performed that well after a euro game under Fergie.

Of course not. Flying first class is still flying, and it takes it out of you.

Long haul flying is toxic , I did it for many years.

It’s not an excuse though ,be st football if we don’t beat palace given the form they are in.
Although they did very well against city until the first goal.

They look better from the tiny bit I have seen of them ,but not really seen enough .
You are always in with a chance with messi in the team though .

Well I guess you could say that rather unwantedly United have had a fillip with the news that Aguero and Mendy are out injured mid/long term. I say this only as City are of course level with us at the moment on points and having those two unavailable is undoubtedly better for us so we need to take full advantage...if we can. Shame for the two players of course but it is what it is, we've had our fair share of long term absentees!

City will be hurting with these injuries, so rather mercilessly we need to get those 3 points against CP tomorrow and hope City drop all 3 points.

Little sympathy for city, They'll just have to use one of their other 38 left backs and play jesus upfront.

Can have zero excuses imo

I don’t agree with that. Football injuries sustained on the pitch are one thing, but major injuries caused outside the game are more concerning. Wish Agüero a speedy recovery, although equally wish him poor form on his return wink
