I feel the same. Far more interested in the Prem, this season. We've hardly covered ourselves in glory in the CL this season but if we stay in or out seems less important this year.
We need to get in back in the groove of winning every game if we stand any chance on Sunday and league games to comeCbull said:
A win tonight could do wonders for confidence going into the weekend game, unfortunately a loss could probably have the opposite affect too. I'm confident of a win tonight, sure they're poo'ing themselves just as much as us.
I fancy us tonight, even without VVD.'Famous last words' but you're right that they'll have more to worry about than us, I reckon.

Of all the group runners up we would have been one of the teams the others wanted to avoid. Whereas it made little difference for us. Lots of personal interest for Klopp in this one which will be driving the German press nuts (I'm assuming). I think we're fielding a weakened defence against a very good side. Just looked and Munich have lost four games in their league this year so they're not as all conquering as they have been in the past but that squad looks too good to be unable to get at least one against our yet-to-be-confirmed centre back pairing.These are the ties the European Cup are about. I'm hopeful we get through the game without any further injuries regardless of result.
I think the issue about Sunday is that Utd are still largely an unknown quantity. They've looked good against most sides they've come up against, but have they played anyone decent?
Chelsea were massively poor last night. Gave Utd far too much time on the ball and let players constantly ghost in from midfield without being picked up in defence.
The only time Utd have played a decent team (PSG) they looked very average. At home.

My OH found a couple of tickets for £40 each. Didn't go for it as the price just seemed scammy.
The UTD game is going to be a toughie. They've played 2 decent teams since OGS took over, spuds and PSG. They'll be desperate to avenge their defeat at ours, their last loss in the league. Can't help but like OGS and his weird accent. Pogba and Radford are the key.

Whilst I admire your confidence that is borderline cocky IMHO, Utd have looked very good recently and better than us a lot of that time. It will be a very tough game and a draw wouldn't be a bad result (praying for a win of course)Chelsea were massively poor last night.

Oh I completely agree. Our win against JM in such dominant style doesn't happen very often for either side in this fixture. Form goes out of the window. But IMO they're just a step above a poor Chelsea and Arsenal side in terms of the top six league.
I think it's going to be a difficult game, especially given our injuries, but I'm not as concerned as everyone else is. Besides, haven't they still got to play City too? We only have to equal or better the result they both get.

They are, but this Chelsea side drew 1-1 with us and knocked us out of the league cup at Anfield.I think it's going to be a difficult game, especially given our injuries, but I'm not as concerned as everyone else is.

I will feel a lot happier if I see a TAA, Matip VVD, Robertson back line restored
