COYS!! This is it, let’s leave everything on that field and bring the trophy home!It is tomorrow.

Any of those would be ace but for me it has to be Sonny scoring the winning goalBeen thinking about the ways we will win...several spring to mind. Any favourites here?
1) A very professional 2-0
2) A late Romero header to edge us in a 3-2 win
3) Richy winner in OT
4) Vicario saves two pens in a shoot-out to win us the trophy
5) Solanke scores a brace in a 3-1 victory
6) Porro last-minute screamer for 2-1
7) Sonny 25 yard bender breaks the deadlock around 70 mins in and we hold on desperately for a 1-0 win
8) Bentancur arrives late in the 94th minute to crash home a corner in the 6 yard box and snatch it.
9) Johnson scores early and we go on to coast 3-0
10) We get away with a foul on Onana as Sarr sticks his nut on a corner to send us delirious...
11) Bergvall, on for the final 10 mins in a 1-1 game, slaloms into the box, gets taken out by a Utd player, and Solanke panenkas the winner.
We've done well at restricting chances and shutting teams out when we've defended properly in Europe this season. The problems only happen when we play the inverted FB crap. On top of that Utd's attack isn't very good. They've only scored 42 in the league compared to our 63.We do not do well at restricting chances and shutting out the other team. We do much better as an attacking force with our first choice defence as they are much better FOOTBALLERS than the second string. Porro and Udogie are much better creatively and in doing Ange's "inverted" attacking than the other full back options. Romero is great at pinging an early accurate ball in to set an attack up. VDV is great at running the ball out of defence and creating overloads (as he did v. Utd). What they are not convincing at, individually or collectively, is defending. Whichever defence we put out, we will invariably give up high quality chances and we usually concede.

Those haircuts are just phenomenal. Both those guys just below the keepers - hats off to them, that is something straight out of a shampoo commercial or a horror flick. Who are they?
It's gone to penalties, everyone's scored apart from United's last taker misses, it's 10-10, and up steps Werner...Been thinking about the ways we will win...several spring to mind. Any favourites here?

For the 100th time, Werner isn't even registered in the EL squad.It's gone to penalties, everyone's scored apart from United's last taker misses, it's 10-10, and up steps Werner...
Id rather retain the Biss-Bent double pivot, but in the absence of both our playmakers, Bentancur can do that role too.I'm trying to decide which team I'd put out, but can't really decide.
The back 5 picks itself, but then it gets tricky. I'd like a similar approach to what we did away to Glimt, with someone man marking Fernandez. I think Sarr would probably be the best fit for that, but then our midfield would be Sarr, Bissouma and Bentancur. Not much creativity there.
Another option would be Biss, Bentancur and play Richi as a sort of 10 or second striker, and have him marking Fernandez.
Richie can make a stones blood boil in an empty room, so good chance he could make Fernandez snap!
