So we have Bayern

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
So it's 500k per league place? That's a no brainer.
Although I guess the difference between a Europa league finish and missing out on European football together complicates things...
Do you think we're going to score 5/6 goals against Bayern, even if we go on full out attack mode? How do you even expect do that with 30% possession. FFS, we can barely break down teams as it is. We're blunt as feck on our best days, Bayern don't have any particular weak spots that we can systematically target. We're much better off trying to park the bus and hit them when there's space on the counter. Arsenal did a decent job of keeping them out when it was 11 vs 11.
United won't be inspiring in any way, shape or form against Bayern. It will be damage limitation from the outset and the groans will be audible as soon as they pop the first goal into our net.
I actually think Moyes will revert completely into Everton mode as when they played a big Premier League club. He will see this as his forte, looking at ways to stop Bayern playing. It will be incredibly dull. Hopefully he will have some sort of plan when we do get the ball, however rare that will be.

You're convincing nobody, Phil!
Great draw, looking forward to it.
Who to play LB?

To be fair though, his tactics chart for the Bayern game is a bit outdated:
Because we have the toughest possible tie in the QF and that doesn't make our (potential) SF tie any easier.
The only way we are beating them is of moyes gets sacked, and fergie comes back in giving everyone a lift. Not going to happen though.
Robben goes to ground screaming for a penalty.
Suddenly I am extremely excited about the CL again. All I want is for us to show we can play decent football against a top club again, not much to ask is it? Don't even care about the result.
they have to let us have the ball first.

It's in the order of ~£700k per position. Realistically, we could get 5th which is £1.4m extra money.
If we stay in 7th we're in the Europa League assuming a top 4 team wins the FA Cup, otherwise we need 6th.
TBH anyway, we have a fecking big squad. The likes of Kagawa, Hernandez, Fletcher, Nani should be good enough for most of our remaining fixtures and there's Mata who can't play in the CL. We should be fine to rest players and then play our preferred XI for Bayern.
I doubt Müller saw anything other than the 3 goals. He would talk like that. In fact have you not noticed that all connected to Bayern are talking like that? It's called being respectful and not blowing your trumpet lest it come back to haunt you.
You can't put it all down to motivation. His tactics have been all over the place this season, I think it would be wrong to suggest otherwise. He's been all over the place and we have yet to see a tactical framework materialize.
He has certainly looked like he doesn't have a clue.
My point was that the Glazers will want that we give it all in the league too. In the games either side of the tie.
Sharing is caring
Can we play 9-0-1 for both matches and try to beat the Germans on penalties?
They haven't been for much of this season.
Motivation, tactics... we don't have the players either. Our midfield and back four have been utter shite this season.
80 % of my colleagues are Bayern club members and match goers and i'm already getting stick because the league position .
now they are sad that it will be a boring tie , they wanted proper challenge like real or barca

Buttner and Rafael are more than a match for Ribery and Robben
If a top 4 team wins the FA Cup the runner-up qualifies for the Europa League. That doesn't change until after next season.
I expect nothing less than for us to bum them raw.
This sort of suits Moyes in a way, doesn't it? He has to revert to the defensive game he's more comfortable with, nobody will be too surprised if we lose and if we somehow win it'll be a big enough coup to guarantee he lasts through the summer. Hell, even if we get hammered he can point to Barca's result last year as an excuse.
If he manages to hold the PL together then this draw might save Moyes, in a way.

No, we're not going to score that many, but I'd rather go down swinging. If we're blunt going forward, what does that make our defence? Our best back 4 is pathetic. Arsenal can actually play football, that's why they were decent in their ties, but we need to take the game to them, kick lumps out of them if need be.
We are gonna get whistol pipped
Get in. Bayern. Exactly who I wanted.
we are the big underdogs here. but somehow just got a feeling we are going to do a liverpool 2005 and chelsea 2012 this season. hope that is going to materialize.

Welbeck, Valencia, Fletcher, and Jones are all big game players! No reason we can't get through if we play as well as we can.

Moyes vs Guardiola huh, piece of cake.
If the club arrange couches along the perimeter of the pitch we can all hide behind them when the football starts, or Bayern are the Daleks.

do the winners of this draw face either Chelsea or PSG?
Maybe a Fergie side might have had a glimmer of a hope of a chance, but the current United will never amount to anything.
No it's likely to be Real i believe.
Nope, another draw for the Semi final will take place after this round.
thanks
I reckon that in one leg you'll get smashed and in the other you'll fluke a 1-1 draw.
I see how we can go about this in two manners 1st is to act like sullen flogs who are consigned to their fate or the 2nd which is to embrace the challenge, the struggle and the fight. We may not be at our greatest however bring your best Bayern we are Manchester United and we are not afraid of what you can do and you can be damn sure that we will go down swinging.
