UCL - Bayern München vs Manchester United - April 9, 2014 [R]

Very much frustrated. The semi-final place was theirs to take! How can they f*ck up after scoring the first goal!

 

I'm glad I got to witness my team play in the champions league... Can't wait for Europa league next year!!

 

lol you think we're gonna make it into the europa league?

 

I think we going to win our remainder games, so yep I certainly do.

On a different note, I have always backed Rooney, but today's performance was frustrating! We should of won that game.

 

Explain to me the math that makes you think we can get into the EL even if we win.

Or are you assuming Arsenal automagically win the FA Cup?

 

Isn't 6th place Europa League? Not that that's okay by the standards of our club, but we will more than likely end up there.

 

#MoyesOut

 

Are we in 6th place?

Actually even if arse win, the cup runner up in the FA Cup would qualify anyway ahead of us, thought the spot passed down to a premier league spot but that would require both the winner and runner up to already be qualified for a EU competition.

 

The worst part is even if we made the Europa League, we probably still wouldn't get to the quarter final.

 

Worst? Europa league would be right behind Carling Cup and just ahead of meaningless friendlies in terms of priorities for us. Maybe get to see some kids play at least.

 

Europa cup would be behind friendlies for me. Unless they start playing it on Wednesdays.

 

I bet Moyes would take it seriously...and tire out all our players for the league.

 

just wanted to say good luck to you for the rest of the season. you guys put a good fight and i think both games was much closer than everyone thought it would be. see you guys in 2 seasons hopefully.

 

Exactly, we'll have much better chance of qualifying for the 2015-2016 CL if we miss out on the Europa league. We have enough depth in the 9 and 10 positions, but that's about it. To anyone who thinks the issues with the squad will be solved next summer: Why do you think that? We haven't been able to sign a world class CM for years. What's going to be different about next summer, except that we cannot offer CL football?

 

So finally watching the game because my DVR failed me today --
1. What's with Rooney? Which is the injured toe? At 8 minutes in, he runs around the ball to get it on his right foot. I assume you've already discussed this, but if you're playing with only 1 foot, why are you out there?
2. Tiny field.
3. Ryan Giggs and Ashley Young as the subs???? Maybe David Moyes doesn't watch his players when they play either.
4. And why I'm on that subject, why is Vidic starting?
5. What a shot by Robben 15 minutes in. He apparently has working toes.
6. The blue uniforms make us look particularly nondescript out there....or maybe we are just that nondescript.
7. Eric Wynalda is a such an insufferable dweeb.
8. Valencia slightly offside -- boooooooooooo.

Bayern Munich looks better than us.

 

We'll it was a good series. Like I predicted it was much closer then anyone hyped up..

People forget that you guys are still Manchester United and have a lot of pride to play for..So my respect goes out to you lads for keeping this series tight.

Mad goal from evra but then he went into amateur mode for some reason.,

And can anyone explain to me why Rooney was not subbed earlier but welbeck was???? Rooney was like playing at 50%....... Oh right 300k right?

That move made no sense..

Anyways good luck on the rest of the season!

 

^This is what Moyes has done to some fans. Convinced them that we're only good enough for a top 4 challenge next year. It angers me that he is getting away with this, and people are going along with it.

 

Jeez, Rooney has really got to Moyes. Limping around all night, that embarrassing wiff in the second half with the goal at his mercy, Moyes putting him in CM. FFS he was injured, shouldn't have started. That's all on Moyes.

 

Another big game for Rooney to prove doubters and he proves them right.

The injury doesn't mean shit. If he's on the field he's fit enough to play. This is the CL. If the injury is an excuse, might as well have started Cheech.

Bruised toe. Average talisbiy to go with Average manager and average expectations from blinkered supporters.

 

After watching Jose tearing down the sidelines to give specific instructions to ensure his team is clear about what is happenening and what needs to happen, it upsets me that our coaching staff were so clueless about what is happening. on top of that, our team doesnt have any leaders on it. why didnt someone step up and make sure that the team was focused following the goal. not that it could not happen when Keane was on the field, but can you imagine the furore that would have happened afterwards?? he would have ripped someones head off.

while players should take responsibility, Jose ensure that there was no guesswork, he mandated it himself. And we wonder who should have been offered the job.
