I watched bayern slaughter city. Then I watched our lot. The result is ok. Though the performance was again lacklustre. No energy no urgency. For their goal, we let them pass then they went wide and Carrick backed off then cross went through his legs. Total shambles.
Bayern on the other hand, passed and passed and opened city at will. All with fast technical athletic players.
so, we get Fellaini and want to sell Kagawa. We play valencia and can't find a place for Zaha?
Where is this club going?

Completely agree no midfield.

We are SO boring and predictable ATM it's unbelievable. Zaha and Kags would bring some much needed creation to our team but even with them playing Moyes seems to want us to play long ball super safe three touch's then pass left and right football. Wrong man for the job imo.

Selling Kagawa?

how much do you want?

I would love him at Anfield.

£15 mil?

Nomidfield.
i would like to add I more point. about my yesterdays comment about moyes illogical substitutions.
what was the point removing fellaini and put giggs on? when it was definate time that shakter will attack to salvage points?
he just wanted to give giggs a mile stone and so he risked a goal.

and that's what happened. generally, fellaini would cover inside the box in that particular area from where tison found empty space to shoot all guns blazing.

my reaction was why the hell, we need more cover for defence. I would definatly take off valencia and put jones on and sit deep back with only RVP up holding the ball.

i can say a fare result, but more tectical awareness could got us all 3 points

A good point but the same midfield weaknesses as usual. Only one shot on target, the first time in the Champions League since 2006.

They should give Munich the trophy now and let the rest of us concentrate on the league

6.) 03 Oct 2013
Couple of points, nomidfield, why the hell did you watch the bayern game first when our beloved united were on? I haven't even seen the bayern goals, concentrating on our own team.

Also Paulo, the rvp shot in the 2nd half was definitely on target if it hadn't hit the defender, and we scored a goal, so that's 2 off the top of my head.

He put Giggs on because he has bought into this media myth that old players know how to keep hold of the ball. Fellaini was giving it away a lot and the Ref obviously had it in for him blowing up everyt ime the ball cam near him.

Giggs is past it, I agree should have played Jones instead.

How shocking was our performance, it was like watching a Stoke or Norwich against us, just effort to attack and when we had it we had no options because our midfield stands 5 yards in front of the back four.

Far too pedestrian.

One problem, if we give Moyes a load of money to spend, as they keep threatening to do (I know it is hypothetical!), what sort of player is he going for? More fellaini types?
He is not playing kagawa and he's not playing any of the promising u21's. Moreover, he seems to prefer playing hard working players, Valencia, young, fellaini, ahead of zaha and kagawa. So before it is too late, is this the type of team we want to see at ot? Dave sexton, God rest his soul, tried it and was sacked in no time as it is not the United way of playing football.
We are a great club with great traditions, also, we have always tried to play football the right way. Do we see other great clubs, barca, Real, Bayern, going to shaktar and parking the bus to get away with a point? We must not let our standards slip, and to be honest, we have gradually done so for the past three years. But the brilliance of Ferguson masked over the cracks.
So in my opinion, we must never settle for second best.

The reason why he brought Giggs on was because Fellaini was absolutely knackered and was struggling to keep up with the pace of the game after half time.
There were three or four times in the space of 5 minutes where his first touch was poor and he wasn't holding onto it.
Even the commentators were saying it.
I have to say though Giggs did absolutely nothing when he came on and in my opinion it stinks of desperation when you have to throw a 39 year old veteren onto the field to try and change the game.
Lets be honest apart from the first 20-25 minutes it was lack lustre, pedestrian and boring performance. Yet again we struggles to put more than 4-5 passes together, our ball retention in Europe if terrible and this is why we look like we contantly getting over run.
We are so desperate for a wold class central midfielder it's untrue, somebody who can put there foot on the ball and pass, somebody who can drive the team forward and make things happen, and somebody who can chip in with 10 goals a season.
I would also recomend a new Left full back and a new left winger.
All in all we were lucky in the end to come away with a point, but a point is a point and it puts us top.

What worries me is that I have just read moyes say he told giggs before the game he would come on. So that decision was already made, even though jones should have been the player giggs was already told he would come on so that's what he did. Total joke if you ask me.

11.) 03 Oct 2013
GDS, I can only assume Jones will play a full 90 minutes on Saturday.

12.) 03 Oct 2013
He brought Giggs on because fellaini was on a yellow and looked 2 yards off the pace and could not hold on to the ball and would have been sent off with one more rash challenge.

There was no one else but giggs as Kagawa is definitely not his cup of tea.
