UEFA Champions League/Europa League 1/2/3 April *** Spoilers ***

[cm1179]

well it's 0-0 after all that domination

 

[Trusty]

What???? How can the ref whistle then..

Euro nutters

 

[Loki]

Utd struggling with posession, always difficult to chase shadows for 90mins and I feel Bayern can step up a gear or two here

 

[Rotty]

so much buffering on iTV player

 

[Somnambulist]

United haven't done too badly tbh, given respective form going into the match.

The other semi is really good as well, end to end stuff.

 

[elmuzzy66.]

Bayern nice passing but are missing a bit of speed. Wellbeck is so gash.

 

[drunkenmaster]

Obviously going to Pigeon it but Kroos has been terrible. He's playing the middle of their system but has failed to pick out a single penetrating ball nor do anything useful at all.

Utd's complete domination is poor because bayern have been poor, again. Last year's Bayern would have torn Utd a new one in this half, Guadiola's tippy tappy do-ey nothing football is often so so boring to watch but so, meh. Guardiola is knocking the counter attacking out of them, the fast/direct play. Ribery had that ball on with Robben making the run in behind and Ribery instead passed it the wrong side of the defender which would have required Robben to be running towards the half way line instead. HUGE space to pass in behind on that occasion and loads of space for Robben to run in to and still he chose to make the short pass. It's like the very idea of playing directly is becoming more abnormal with every game I watch them play. Guardiola will have them being the most boring, and probably most successful team in Europe in another year.

I'm watching this and thinking Suarez, Sturridge and Sterling would ruin this defence. Next year's our year!

I'm watching this and imagining leaking goals and booting several of these crosses into our own net

Im watching this and falling asleep, hate watching teams that try to pass the ball into the net, so boring to watch

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

I'd fancy Bayern against most teams this season but Real have the tools to really hurt them on the counter if they face each other.

 

[NeedAUsername]

Get **** Fellaini off and get Kagawa on.

 

[Somnambulist]

I know it's a record there to be taken, but something tells me they won't be the first team to win it back to back, at least this year. I think having won the league already might work against them too because they don't have anything to play for in the remaining fixtures, although I guess there's the unbeaten run. At this point of the season you really want every game to be for something to keep the winning mentality going on.

giggs and failaini off for kags and fletcher pls

But real don't have the defensive discipline to shut bayern out. Would be final imo.

 

[twist3d0n3]

KAGAWA \o/

 

[Eatchipz]

Rather have Giggs on than Failaini to be honest. One pass is all you need from Giggs.

 

[sunama]

Fellaini is ****ing **** for us. Why is he starting over Kagawa. Put Giggs in CM ffs. Getting sick of Moyes neglection for Kagawa

Because he paid £25M+ for him.
He has to make some use of him.
Also, I think his role might be to "disrupt" Bayern, as opposed to make quality passes. Bayern rely on making multiple passes, so if the Afro man can break up the play, this would be beneficial.

Yep.

Wrong person off. Right person on.

 

[sunama]

I havent seen much of Kroos, but by today's evidence, I'm not sure what all the fuss is about.
