Interesting to read on Sly Sports that in only one of the next 15 games do we play an opponent in the current top 6 - Arsenal. You can throw Chelsea and Pool in there too I guess. As so many have mentioned on here, if the manager decides to take the shackles off, we could become a clear contender for the title. I say clear because as close as we are to top we are also a couple of bad results away from dropping out the top 4. I don't truly believe he is confident in our back 4 apart from Smalling which is why he persists in playing 2 holding midfielders. You can see it in the game actually, only Smalling really has any confidence when defending. If he just changed one of their roles to allow them to support the attack more frequently we may just see some of these draws turn in to results. The team is trying, but you can see a clear lack of confidence when attempting a risky pass. If it is misplaced then they have to hear groans from the fans as well as the manager. I don't believe LVG will be sacked even if we exit the CL. However, if we do exit the CL, I can see this group of players losing any confidence they do have in the manager. This may well signal the end for him and I can see him stepping down. I know the ed has mentioned he will see out his contract but that is just my gut feeling. Maybe after Jan? On the other hand we could win on Tuesday and our whole season could change? Who knows!? We might just batter Wolfsburg 3 nil! Enjoy the ride lads.

Gonna be the agony and the ecstasy tomorrow. Ninety minutes of gloriously unbearable tension.

I am one who remembers January 1990 and that game at Forrest was one we all feared. History shows Mark Robins won it and it was totally unexpected, we anticipated a stuffing.

My point is most, like in 1990, expect us to lose at Wolfsberg but let's hope for a bit of United spirit and a turning point as it was in 1990. If it isn't then the Board need to look at the plan they have and make sure it is the right one.

I just hope we show fight and spirit tomorrow night. The squad doesn't look too good tomorrow and we will really need our under performers to step up. It could be a massive night for the likes of Memphis and Mata. I think we have more of a chance if we sit back and concede possession. We have the players to play on the counter. I just don't see LVG doing that.
