Without Rooney on the field, they weren't half as good as in the first half. The red card doomed them ultimately.

Have to say, it's nice for Bayern to go through, we might get someone other than Chelsea or Man Utd in the final this year. Don't mind Barcelona being there as they're the best team in the world!

Fergie dropped a complete bollock bringing on O'Shea for Rooney, was over as soon he done that. he should have taken Carrick and Rooney off and put on O'Shea and Berbatov and stuck to the original game plan and hope Fletcher and Gibson can do enough in the middle.

 

Basically playing 30 minutes with nothing upfront is just asking for trouble, Bayern had just far too much of the ball and as soon as Robben banged it in the tie was over, they where content to sit back.

 

Fergie should take all the blame today.

I thought you were quiet in the second half of our 5 a side game.

What a joke Drury is as a commentator, loved his comment when Man Utd went 3-0 up thinking it was a game over.

 

Yes, funny as ****. What a complete tool he is, is must be a Man Utd fan with the way he carries on about them.

 

Ferguson should have brought Berbatov on to hold the ball up when he took Rooney off, a simple swap and I think they would have still been in the tournament.

Yep stupid tactics Nani may have pace but cant hold the ball up and it was just coming back and back - you may get away with it against Hull/Burnley/Skates but not teams in Champions League.

Ferguson only has the Premiership to go for now and I worry he may use Rooney again and totally blow his injury further than it is now.

Still cant believe we (yes im a bayern fan) scored 2 at OT. Turning out to be quite a few weeks as a football fan for me, JPT win and now if fcb can overcome Lyon, a champions league final. Think I may struggle more for a ticket to the bernabeu than i did for wembley :(

I laughed! ;-) Cant satnd Fergie and his arrogant nobs... 'typical Germans?' fecking double standards more like as the pic above shows... everyone does it... nob...

 

Couldn't agree more. He is a typical bully and can't deal with it when he gets played at his own game! It would have been sweeter if Robben had scored in 6 minutes of added on Fergie time but I am still a happy this morning and please some "new" teams are invloved.

Of course, how silly of me to forget! Messi? Iniesta? Try Lallana and Schneiderlin! :D

 

Bayern were a complete shambles in the first half though, Butt had an awful 45 minutes in goal and Man Utd should've been more than 3-1 up at HT. While they were shakey at the back, they've got one of the best attacking 6's outside of the UK imo, being able to bring on players like Gomez and Altintop from the bench is incredible. Robben is easily one of the best wingers in the world, only slightly behind the likes of Ronaldo and Messi in my estimations, and Ribery, Schweinsteiger and Olic are always dangerous in front of goal.

 

If I was SAF last night, I would've lined up a bit like:

 

-------Van Der Sar------

O'Shea--Vidic--Rio--Evra

-----Fletcher--Carrick---

Valencia---Giggs----Nani

---------Berbatov-------

 

Bring on Rooney for Giggs at about 60 minutes, and Rafael on for O'Shea at about the same time, with Park replacing Valencia or Nani depending on who is playing better.

 

What United lack is some genuine pace up front, but seeing that they've signed Javier Hernandez today subject to a work permit has given me more confidence that they can go on and win the Premiership next year. Without the pace and threat of Ronaldo this season, and disregarding Rooney's form, they've looked a little bit weak up front this season. Without Rooney they'd been nowhere near 2nd imo. They seriously need to sign a world class striker to give some much needed firepower up front and to compliment Rooney, because Berbatov is way too inconsistent.

They need a Paul Scholes replacement. Carrick, Anderson and Scholes aren't good enough they need a genuine world class player in there. Wasting more money on a striker would be ridiculous since they never player two upfront in any big matches, which would just mean Rooney would spend half the season on the left again.

I am pretty gutted we don't have any english contenders tbh, and too i am gutted that manure are out, tbf, i do admire the way they play football and all in all no, man utd do not bully teams, what a rediculous thing to say.

 

Everyone these days surround the ref, i can't stand it, but his comments were aimed imo more at the fact they were obviously trying to injure rooney.

You should always start an injury worry, always (if you are going to risk them that is !!) otherwise you could be in the situation where you put someone on and then have to take them off.

 

I also think you underestimate Rooneys pace really, he is deceptively quick, also a lot of ronaldos goals were from the quick counter attacks, not from being released through on goal.

 

Fergie did drop a clanger not putting berbatov on earlier, i turned and said in the pub that they needed him on 15 minutes before he actually came on the pitch, it just meant that anything played forward was going to come straight back, and duly did.

 

Well done to Bayern though, they fought back, why do the Germans seem to get all the luck ?? Fioreintina, Juve and manure ??

Germans always get the job done lol

 

A lot of teams would have folded after Man U's third went in but the BM didn't panic and struck just when Man U least expected, which turned the tie. The German teams have always done the basics very well and have a certain resilience, and when on top have a certain ruthlessness. They've always played the game the same way regardless of who their playing.

 

Take when Germany played San Marino a few years ago in the euro qualifiers. A lot of teams would have taken their foot off the gas after going 3-4 nil up. Not the germans, they played the whole game like a world cup final and ended up winning 13-0!!!

 

Bad night for Fergie in many ways though, bizarre team selection. Gibson - great goal but too inexperienced at that level and Rooney clearly wasn't anywhere near match fit and was limping almost from the off. And whenever Man U lose it's always the fault of the other team or the ref.

No, they definitely need(ed) another striker, in my view the failure to properly replace Teves has cost Man Utd big time. Ronaldo of course you simply cannot replace, Valencia was a good signing but clearly not of the same class. Rooney played on Wednesday as Ferguson didn't have enough faith in Berbatov to start with him so another option would have been more than useful.

United's squad is chock full of defenders and midfield players but I do agree they need to replace Scholes who is surely coming to the end of his career. Maybe him and Giggs one more season ? Shame Owen Hargreaves has not had a chance to prove himself, very mobile player and I can even recall him playing RB and doing well.

Unless they can get rid of Berbatov there's no way they will bring in another 20m+ striker, Especially now Javier Hernandez has signed. Fergie just likes his 4-5-1 too much to sign another big name striker, they really need another player like Ronaldo who can do a job out wide or upfront.
