Manchester United Thread

Also - just saw Danny's disallowed goal - that is super borderline for me. It was at Martinez's shoulder or chest level, and hardly dangerous.

But hey, it's United in Europe, we know how borderline decisions are going to go.
 
Yep it's martinez who's had his head lowered to try to win it. What wellbeck did was normal.

Fellaini gave away possession a lot. I think it's best we sub him with either kagawa or or rooney and throw chicha up front.

Edit: ok so it looks like fellaini's taking giggs place and kagawa to be the link. Hope this works.
 
We should've won this. Fellaini was the weak link for me giving away possession easily and not winning headers despite being a towering figure.

Should've dropped him in the 2nd half and played rooney in his place and thrown in chicha upfront for any scoring opportunities.

Oh well. Not a bad game playing against supposedly the best team in CL, but just can't stop thinking we could've seized it.
 
They haven't won any of last 4 matchs in their home vs English teams , so why not you should think positive also give Moyes a new 10 years contract now :)
 
I think United is changing... Changing for better. I saw that in the last 3 games and as a football fan i hope that what i am telling is true. I think in the next season they will get a lot better, even if Moyes stay. ;)
 
Surprised by the result, not the performance. Moyes is kind of used to this type of game - bein the 'plucky underdog'.

Think a lot of our better performances are because the RVP injury has allowed Moyes to play a more cohesive XI.

I've watched every match for years - we're better this year when only one of RVP or Rooney is on the pitch, playing as a striker.

I'm not saying RVP isn't a great player - he is - but Moyes/Ferguson hasn't been able to work out a system that both Rooney and RVP together.
 
What were Bayern doing? Who draws at Old Trafford these days? :ROLL:
I almost want Utd to go through now as punishment for such a sorry, purposeless performance. Utd should have won 2-1, maybe even 3 with Welbeck's high boot being on the cusp.
 
Bayern were just joking around. Wait til the next leg.

Also, the sight of Pep f*cking Guardiola accusing someone of diving...I have no words.
 
and he added "To win the Champions League you have to overcome everything, so at times during the competition that happens." :LOL: no surprise he's a barcelona man after all.

watch bayern get a penalty around 20th min mark and you get a red at allianz if you manage not to screw up yourselves until then.

Robben accused Mutd of using a handball team tactic.I don't understand that concept.

I think it was some reference to how defensive we were. Presumably Robben thinks we should have opened ourselves up more, allowing him and his team to thoroughly whip us.
 
I thought Rooney "exagerrated" the contact, tbf. Not too bothered since I've seen many clubs, including Guardiola's teams do it as well but at least Guardiola was respectful after the game despite almost being goaded into calling us a negative team by at least one journalist.

Too much sterile domination though, Bayern needed to stretch us more and the bringing on Mandzukic and going more direct was the right thing to do.

Pleased that Welbeck played well against another European giant, despite the missed chip. If there is one keeper you don't want to try and be too smart against it is Neuer.
 
Back to the important things: rumours are that Bebe is an outside pick for the WC, and is going to be among the nominees for best young player in Portgual (along with the presumably United-pajama-wearing William Carvalho).
 
Oh Edwin, always classy:

I am Portuguese, so I see William Carvalho playing all the time and trust me he is fantastic!
 
Excellent, if you believe the press he's our number 1 target in the summer :)


ARGH - apparently Rooney has broken himself, and might even miss the World Cup.

Is this season over yet?
 
rooney injured and missing world cup is karma for his dive which got schweinsteiger sent off.

great news for england if true.
