Lukaku is really good but I don't know who would want him. None of the top teams need a striker with poor technique that can't press. Maybe United will take him if Zlatan leaves.

Game should have been postponed by more than 24 hours. I know there are time constraints and financial pressures and what have you, but there is no way in hell anyone in the world could be expected to do their job to the best of their ability after nearly being exploded the day before.

Yeah it's appalling. 24 hours ffs. They've done well to front up at all given the circumstances. Piss poor from UEFA.

I have some sympathy as there really wasn't an obvious alternative time to play the match. But apparently the players weren't even consulted about when it would be played, which is really poor.

Play next week's game as the first leg and delay the rest of the competition. The final isn't until June and the tournament's been disrupted by terrorism.

They had to do similar with the Champions Cup in rugby after the Paris attacks, and they managed a solution despite there being less options for rugby (you can't schedule games midweek because the sport is too physical to allow that.)

Apparently they weren't even consulted and were informed that the game would go ahead by text message. Really leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

I don't think we should be sticking the boot into UEFA too hard. They got it wrong, but hardly anybody is equipped to make that kind of decision in those kinds of circumstances.

Stop bringing on Fellani to see out games, its so stupid, the myth that he is good defensively has been debunked a long time ago.

United will still come through the tie, but same as usual, go a goal up and don't kill the match.

Pogba was so much better than him before he got shifted forward. It would have been more effective to leave Pogba in the middle and put Fellaini higher up. We really are draw specialists atm.

In a surprising turn of events, I've brushed Tuesdays events off and realised that two quick defeats this weekend for Lincoln will put the title back on course for us.

A blind unwillingness to face the truth is the default go to for all sports fans.
