Champions League - Benfica vs Manchester United 7:45pm Wednesday 18th October

HONKEY TONK

Benfica lost both their CL games so far.

Man United won both their CL games so far.

A win for United tonight will push them much closer to qualification for the knock-out stages. Benfica need a win tonight to keep their own qualification hopes alive.

That'll do pig.

Just seeing that Honey Tonk created a far more worthy match thread for this massive fixture tonight.

Could the mods squash this one please?

Good man Stu

Be great to get 9 points in the bag

Looking forward to the bitterness of Dunphy & Co

Right, 0-3, Mata, Lukaku, Rashford.

I like that Duff is open about his love for Manchester United and Mourinho, but I get the feeling if Mourinho took a dump in the centre circle just before kick off, he'd describe it as "genius".

No disrespect to the deceased but I think football should rethink these 'moments silence' , it occurs far too often now, means nothing to the players and loses its impact. I think it should be scrapped or kept to football only related incidents.

Noticed this. Wonder why that is.

Miki is in poor form

Needs to do more

Never a foul

Rayne Wooney

Their goalkeeper looks extremely out of his depth the poor lad

PhlegmyMoses

Ref very kind to the goalkeeper there.

thelad95

Way too much protection given to goalkeepers these days, if that was a defender it would simply be lukaku using his strength and no foul but because it's a keeper you can't even breath on him.

Awful from Miki

Ffs get your **** sorted lad

D.Q

Twenty minutes in and I'm still waiting for utd to start playing football

Noel82

Poor start for United, haven't got going at all. Love to see Martial at some point

Probably hard to switch back into playing football after the weekend.

wanderer100

Can't get going at all. How many times has Micki lost possession already

PhlegmyMoses

European refs are crap.

Doing much better since Mata went #10

Trigger

Ref is a homer

Hococop

Some sloppy passing

Matic such a great player

PhlegmyMoses

We need to take Mkhitaryan back to the shop to get fixed.

HONKEY TONK

Miki will score a cracker in this game

Trigger

Jaysus, 2 players don't know how to call the ball

PhlegmyMoses

This ref is ****ing ****.

Hilarious reaction from Benfica player

Dreadful from Miki again

Could have been more than a yellow?

RTÉ will you cop on

Yeah was wondering why they say a possible red

Noel82

Mkhitaryan having a mare

Rumple Stillson

This is desperate stuff altogether from United. Still think they look more likely to score however.

TheDoctor

Time to turn off, panel will be insufferable at half time

I doubt it, Duff will spin this nicely for United fans. More genius from Mourinho.

D.Q

Muck. As a neutral I absolutely hate Mourinho.

Is Sourness on tonight?

Utd have played better since Mata moved centre and we moved miki out of the way

Good to know.

El Horseboxo

Benfica are woeful. Don't get why United aren't going for it.

adox

Miki has been extremely poor for at least half a dozen games.

Stick Mata at 10 and put Martial on the right.

Benfica already starting to slack in their press8ng game. Utd have been sloppy but expect them to kick on in the second half and score a couple.
