Happy with that, Mo & the team should be motivated after 2018 CL final, RM are not the team they were, we have nothing to fear, either team could win this as RM are in poor form also.
You have to hope that our front 3 fire up at some point and it could be just enough to get us through to the semi final. After that we are going to need Henderson back and some leadership. After that we just hope that it's not City in the final although I still suspect they don't have it in their DNA to get that far.
And if we get that lucky the other omens will fit into place because in 2005;
We were outside of the top 4 mainly due to an injury hit season. We beat German opponents in the last 16 winning both games by the same score. It was the last time neither Messi or Ronaldo got to the last 8. The final was in Istanbul.
There are no doubt many other omens with the most obvious one being that Chelsea could be our semi final opponents.
We are about 11/2 or 6/1 4th favs to win it. Given we are without Henderson, VVD, Gomez and Matip I wouldn't place a bet with someone else's money at double those odds. But you never know.
Perhaps this strange season has a couple more strange twists left in it?
