by RED Mon Mar 04, 2013 4:26 pm

Who will advance to the quarter finals tomorrow night.?

by sportsczy Mon Mar 04, 2013 4:33 pm

Madrid's in top form right now and everyone's healthy... I like our chances.

by halamadrid2 Mon Mar 04, 2013 4:34 pm

United methinks

by FalcaoPunch Mon Mar 04, 2013 4:36 pm

If we can capitalize on our chances then I'm sure we can go through.
With that being said we need our defense to be 110%

Especially on set pieces.

United are @2.1 to qualify on Williamhill

The tie is wide open really. Any of the two teams could end up going through.

I like Madrid's chances knowing we only have to score 1 goal to re-gain the advantage.

by Onyx Mon Mar 04, 2013 4:43 pm

Hopefully Real Madrid go through.

by Raptorgunner Mon Mar 04, 2013 4:52 pm

I dont like either team, but I think Real will go though. Game will end 2-2.

Said Yanited would win this ever since the draw was made and i stick by that.

My mind says United but my heart says Madrid.

Maybe i just think Man Yoo are a really good team with winners all over the pitch who know what it takes to win games like this and who are terribly underrated on this forum?

United.

Impress me far more as collective unit/team as compared to Madrid who play as a bunch of individuals mostly relying on individual talent to bail them out these days.

United also excel on a tactical scale given Ferguson is superior tactician without a doubt. The Old Trafford factor despite its general silence will clinch it for United along with their away goal, stronger mentality and Rooney to put in a fantastic performance.

by Art Morte Mon Mar 04, 2013 5:09 pm

Don't really like RM that much, but hoping they go through and drown Old Trafford in sadness.

by Mr Nick09 Mon Mar 04, 2013 5:10 pm

Fantastic performance like in the bernabeu? cant wait

by Kaladin Mon Mar 04, 2013 5:10 pm

Not underrating United Mole, i just like to believe in the underdogs eco smile

Yes cause Rooney wasn't playing a sacrificial auxiliary pressing role on the right side for United? E'to did the same for Inter in the 2010 final and while it won't be a spectacular individual performance, tactically it is cohesive and vital for the system that Ferguson installed. And it worked excellently.

If Rooney plays in his proper role for United, I can see him destroying them.

this is uniteds to lose

by Onyx Mon Mar 04, 2013 5:16 pm

Man Utd don't rely on RVP? hmm

No. They don't rely on anyone and that is why they are so good.

Tactically, the closest individuals they rely on are Micheal Carrick and Roonay.

you are saying that Rooney will limit the defending, play his natural role and he will dominate? oh well, you know, if he stops the defending, that's gonna free up someone, and might translate into more efficiency for us in attack. It's give or take, united in the first take spent lots of time defending, it's to our advantage if they play more open imo.

anyway, i dont buy Fergie when he says that he wants a 5-4 score line, he is going to defend deep and counter, he aint stupid.

Versus Madrid Rooney played out of position on the right side of a 4-2-3-1 and was relatively deep alongside Welbeck on the left side of the formation. It is an unfamiliar role, sacrificial and mostly used for the overlap threat of Coentrao and CR in assisting Rafael.

His true role for United is one supporting Van Persie "in the hole" in a 4-4-1-1.

Rooney did a terrible defensive job against us at the Bernabeu. Don't you dare compare that to Eto'o selfless display in 2010 again.

I agree that he'd be a big danger in his "true" role though.
