That was a good performance, hopefully somehow we nick it in the return leg.
Danny Welbeck stretches defense better than any United forwards and Rio-Vida were class.
No Schweinsteiger, no Martinez, no Thiago - with the right team selection, I'm thinking 2-2 or 2-1 to United in Munich.
Strootman is crocked, and given how roma reacted when he got hurt, he will stay there, and for sometime. We should have easily won the battle for him. No excuse for not bidding on him. Amazingly none of the major clubs moved for him. That's why he ended up at Roma
Phew! Feel so drained after screaming my heart out last night. Probs the scariest match ive been to in ages.
1. Welbeck s effort was breathtaking. But as usually his skill was somewhat lacking.
2. If it wasnt for fellaini not tracking his man we d be celebrating the unlikeliest of victories. Incidentally fellaini did at least show a lot of effort and energy during the match.
3. Dunno how embarassed (if at all) we should be for having 26 per cent possession at home even against a team of bayern's calibre. Yes i know those were the tactics but . ..
Don't get carried away, Bayern are still a top, top side without those three. The performance and result yesterday was brilliant, but I think you're basing your prediction too much on one match.No Schweinsteiger, no Martinez, no Thiago - with the right team selection, I'm thinking 2-2 or 2-1 to United in Munich.
To be honest, for a side with Buttner, Giggs and Fellaini (who is great when he's on-form, but terrible when he's off-form - like now) to draw against Bayern, no matter whatever the possession statistics, is unbelievable. Oh, and not to mention that you were missing the likes of Evra, Mata and Van Persie.Phew! Feel so drained after screaming my heart out last night. Probs the scariest match ive been to in ages.

The look on Wayne's face when he got Swiney sent off. Don't think he was proud of that one.
Dont think he expected a second yellow card. That said, not sure what Bastian was thinking, Rooney was going nowhere.

If I recall correctly, Rooney was about to start a counter-attack if Schweinsteiger hadn't bought him down. There were two players trying to sandwich Rooney, unsuccessfully, and a few United players further up the field which could've resulted in a counter-attacking move from United - that's what I remember, anyway, not sure if it's correct.Dont think he expected a second yellow card.

Reminds me of Fellaini now. Just a bit less intense.

Ignore the odd music if you wish.

Rooney had actually overplayed the ball at this point. Bastian stays on his feet, his partner nicks it anyway.
We should give Buttner a good run of games until the end of the season. He really impressed me on Tuesday and it would be great if we knew that he was good enough to be a first-choice and not having to sign an expensive one. Admittedly we might need a rotational LB but it would be a lot better than having Shaw for god knows how much.
Buttner had Robben in his pocket, so he's obviously got plenty of ability.
