Manchester United Superthread 2014 Mod warning Post #1880 #2613

Think it will be similar to the Arsenal games. Yee will come out fast but need to capitalize like we didnt. The longer the game goes their quality will show through and they will pick yee apart. Then probably take the foot off the gas in the second leg and stroll through.

Well worth a punt at that price. I can see it being slashed to near 7/2 dare I say come kick off. Even if United score the first goal, cash out option is there and with PP, there is no doubt it'll be be a MBS Special game which will hopefully be Bayern to Win and get your money back.

Or go with bet365 who give normally the same/better odds, and better cash out options, and not give your money to that shower

I could see United getting something out of the Home leg at least, I really don't think they'll get a drubbing.

Edit: Just to clarify, I still think Bayern will win by a healthy margin.

I'd go:

---

Lindegaard

Smalling-Ferdinand-Vidic-Buttner

Valencia-Carrick-Cleverley-Young

---

Welbeck-Hernandez

I don't think there is a chance that we will see Moyes try to attack Bayern at home. For once its not because he is a defensive manager but realistically our best chance is the away goal rule. The real key to this tie is ensuring that Bayern score 1 goal or less at OT. That way the tie is still alive in the second leg and away goals count double. If we can keep it tight at the back you have to fancy Utd to score a goal over 180 mins of football and if that is in Munich even better.

With Evra being suspended you simply cannot put buttner into the team to play against robben. Evans I think is the best option. He wont be bombing forward but that is fine for a game like bayern. If RVP was still out Id stick rooney up top and stick in valencia on the right. Kagawa would be in front Carrick and Fellani but not so far that hes behind the striker. Need someone like him in CM thats able to hold onto the ball. Rooney and Welbeck are both capable of putting in a defensive shift as well as preforming their attacking duties.

Because Evra was going to shut Robben down? :rolleyes:

I'm all for optimism, but it can slide into utter delusion sometimes.

This isn't like the other night where we thought the Greeks might hold onto a 2-0 lead. This isn't like Liverpool where we thought maybe the rivalry would ignite the players. This isn't Sunderland where we only needed to win 2-0.

This is Bayern Munich. This is a firing squad, and by God is Moyes blindfolded and smoking his cigarette. It's not pessimism. Bayern are going to murder us.

This. Some of the delusion here is ridiculous and the sort of craic we'd have laughed at Liverpool fans for in bygone years.

It's Bayern Munich. Them of the 0 league defeats since 2012. A team that put 7 past Barcelona not a year ago. A team that scored 5 goals in 19 minutes 2 weeks back. A team who bossed City and Arsenal around their own grounds this year already.

Jesus, we only beat Olympiakos and the delusion brigade is out saying we'll keep it close. No we ****ing wont, we hung on at the end at home to a side approximately as good as Celtic like it was Barcelona 2008. Buttner will be marking Robben in one leg and the respite will be Evra marking him in Munich even though Evra struggled with his man's pace on wednesday. They'll have 70% + possession over the course of the tie, we'll be seeing the likes of Kroos, Robben, Ribery, Gotze and Muller bearing down on us all night both games, Rooney will be chasing shadows all night, RVP won't get 10 touches between two legs and we'll be made a ****ing holy show of.

There'll be at least 6 clear goals in this, take it to the bank.

Jones did very well man marking Ronaldo last year. He could be used in a similar role on Robben to help Buttner out or on Ribery.

If United play as they have this season against Munich they are going to get destroyed. They will need to park the bus and hope for the best. Attacking or attempting to attack this Munich side would be foolish in the extreme.

Whatever about United's chances in this fixture, I hope to fuck the players don't step out on the pitch with this attitude.

We've got pumped this year by Chelsea, City and Liverpool and beaten at home by Everton, Newcastle and West Brom. Considering Bayern are light years ahead of the first three, we ****ing should be terrified of them.
