And to think that Lingard might get the nod over Foden.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Yeah 2-1 is still a good result, 1-1 would have been nicer though.
What an utter scandal that that can happen at this stage of the 'biggest' tournament in professional sport. With video help no less
Dortmund robbed by Ovrebo's brother.
Rodrygo looks awful.
Out. Needed that second away goal at least. No chance we're winning 2-0/3-0 at home. Cant even fecking score at home let alone win.
Only body parts that are allowed to score goals count for offside.
Should've been more for Madrid so I'll take the away goal. Not sure we're turning that around though.
It’s so unfair that Liverpool fans aren’t allowed into Anfield, whilst everyone else is allowed to play at full capacity.
That's not going to happen.
A pity Dortmund didn't hold on for the draw. CIty will get at least a draw in Germany and Pep after how many attempts? Will finally lead City to a CL semi final.
Liverpool Real Madrid still finely balanced as Liverpool are capable of winning the Anfield match 2-0 but hopefully Madrid can close the tie out.

Happy with both those results.
Fancy Madrid to win at Anfield

Nailed on for both the bin dippers and the plastics to go through next week
He's a young quality player but it wasn't his best night today.
They did, away goal is double
Dortmund lacks some quality in their build-up play. Sancho is missed, and the wing-back play (Hakimi) from last year. Reus is still class.
Liverpool couldn't even beat Brighton at home... with their home form as of late, i highly doubt they're going to win it, at best it'll be a scrappy draw with Madrid going through
I think it is cowardly, personally, though the style is obviously effective. The wingers are coached to always look backwards, rather than take a risk. The number of times that they'll get a good position deep down Mahrez's side in particular, only for 3 passes later it to be comfortably in Stones or Dias' posession is staggering. Ditto on Sterling's side.
Imagine playing a Sunday league match against a team that were superb passers of the ball, but just didn't do anything with it for literally 3-4 minutes at a time. It forces you, as a defensive unit, to be as patient as they are. Which is exhausting, mentally and physically.
I genuinely believe it's so effective because it is so energy-draining, so sapping of will to be playing football. Eventually, a defender will either tire or get so goddamn bored of it all that they'll commit and make a mistake.
Listen, it obviously works. City score tons of goals, win most matches, concede virtually no chances and dominate pretty much every game of football they play. But is it exciting? I don't think so. Effective not exciting, actually that's a good summary of City.
What kills me is that with the quality of that squad, they could really be far more fun to watch.
Michael Owen is slowly morphing into Martin Pougatch.
What a match
You surely enjoyed it as much as I did, and we could have scored 5, although in the end I couldn't wait for the final whistleSo if it's 0-0 in the second leg, do we get extra time? Just curious.
Is that Mark Pougatch' brother?
Liverpool have scored one goal at home in about 8 games.
I don't see any chance they get through next week.
In a make believe world maybe, not a cat in hells chance in reality
Two pretty enjoyable games I thought.
Real Madrid gave Liverpool a footballing lesson tonight
This pressing football system Klopp has works for playing against teams who shit themselves but when you have players like Modric and Kroos playing you can't get near them, you get exposed quite badly with that type of football

Set up for another Liverpool comeback.
I think he got transplant and definitely dying it
Soz boys
No Dortmund go through on away goals 2-2 score line.
Nani, fletcher and van persie red cards level of CL scandal
Probably the worst decision of the lot
Amazes me how people still don’t know the away goal rule after all these years.
I didn't see the game but apparently we were thoroughly outplayed. However, from what I'm hearing we started with 9 men having Mane and Keita on the pitch. If we can start with 11 (drop both players) in the second leg maybe we'll score two goals. Trent will be playing though to help with balance for Real.
I know. It’s shocking. People on here thinking 0-0 in the second leg puts Dortmund through.
I despair. I really do.
If the ref at the City game hadn’t been so biased, it would have been a thoroughly swell night as a United fan.
Damn, Mane that bad these days huh?
Oh shit, Pep is going to fail again. Chasing the tie in Dortmund won't be easy.
It's staggering! It's not like its recently changed. For people posting on a football forum so much and to not understand such an old rule is baffling.
