Bayern have looked a little desperate in their shooting.

I know it's playing a risky game but if it's still 0-0 at 70 mins the pressure will grow on them!

Also Rooney doesn't look right. Can't believe how hesitant he was with that chance. People have cavani a terrible time for missing that chance against Chelsea. Rooneys wasn't much better, at least cavani took a swing at it!
Won't the pressure grow us ? If it's 70 minutes and bayern are keeping the ball for 7 out of every 10 minutes it's us who will be getting frustrated.
 
How the hell are we going to score, we can't even control the football and get it out of our own half. Hell this is worse than the first leg and people complained about that on here
 
They're not even playing with a RB, so hopefully Januzaj comes on around 60/65 and goes on the left. Pity Valencia cant play on the left.

Yeah, fairly mental stuff from their fullbacks. Width is the way to go for us tonight if we're to score.
 
See you on the other side.

If we could fast forward to 85 minutes in at 0-0 right now, would you? 5 mins + injury time to snatch a goal?
 
Watching a german river. Beckenbaur is their panelist! wth!

Watching one with American commentators, on a stream that won't maximise!
Stupid phrases like "shoot the pass" and similar nonsense.

Worth the pain if we can somehow magic a goal. But we're not getting any possession to even get a corner or free kick.

I fear that may well be the case! Can only see us scoring from a set piece tbh!
 
Our team at 70 should be

De Gea
Jones Smalling Vidic Evra
Kagawa Rooney
Valencia Welbeck Januzaj
Hernandez​

Who gives a feck, let's go at em' swinging! :lol:
 
It's probably the best approach we can take against such a strong team atm but yeah we need to produce something or we will go out. Hope Moyes has a plan in store how he wants to get that goal in the second half.

How well we attack when we do attack shouldn't really be affected by how well we're defending. We've attacked with players pushing forward, so it's not the defensive approach that's stopping us keeping the ball. We're just not doing it very well.

So far. Hopefully we push on now.
 
Sky are talking like we're bossing the game. I don't like this narrative that a solid defensive display against a good team is a great performance/achievement. It's half a great performance, at one end, we still need to score, and we can't keep the ball.

Agree man. If i were a neutral i would say we were atrocious... Mid-field is non-existent to say the least, sickening!

Rooney will never be a world class forward with that miss. A pure forward would have passed the ball the moment he saw Kagawa on his left.
 
Hasn't he got numbers almost as good as hazard and over 10 goals this season or something?

Yeah saying he has done nothing is probably a bit of a hyperbole but for a talent of his caliber he had too many games this season where he was invisible and a non factor. On top of that he scored a lot of those goals against smaller teams where Bayern was pretty much rolling over their opponents anyway.
 
I expected us to get smashed in these 2 games and the fact that it feels good to have avoided a roasting kind of shows how poor we have been this season and how my expectations have dived. Its good on one hand to have held Bayern out but a couple of seasons ago I would have expected us to be giving them a fright.

You mean when we didn't even get out of our group and failed to beat Europa league teams?
