COME ON UNITED! KICK OFF 7:45PM Live @ http://www.ja606.co.uk/articles/viewliveArticle/26322
Goals:
Bayern will be without three key midfielders for the quarter-final second leg, evenly poised after last week's 1-1 draw. Bastian Schweinsteiger is suspended following his first leg sending-off, Javier Martinez also misses out through suspension, while a third key midfielder, Thiago Alcantara, is out injured.
Pep Guardiola: "They'll be looking to hit us on the break and at set plays. We're in a final on Wednesday. It's a matter of life and death."
David Moyes: “You can go into some Champions League games from recent times when teams sat back and waited and waited and waited and then got something from the game and got through. I don’t think there is any shame in what we did [in the first leg], not by a long way. Tactically, I thought we played very well on the night. But I have got to say, in the second game, we might need to think differently, look at it in a different way to the first game."

Happy we didn't get mauled, but can't help but feel that we had a real chance of going through and fluffed it
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I wish our Manager could have been a bit brave at times.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
how?
do specify how?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There were times in the match where it felt like we were never going to attack them. This only just invited them to come at us. They are the best team but sometimes you need to have a go at them. The sub's were too late.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
our game plan was perfect
if mourinho did it he would be praised.
we scored, it's our own fault we switched off.
all this nonsense about bayern being in 3rd gear and not trying is nonsense, they will have been sheeting themselves when evra scored.
really dissapointed, we had them beat but completely let the emotion of the goal affect us. totally unprofessional but the players played their hearts out so cant argue.

Thats all well and good but just look at how well teams competing in the Europa League have done in the league. Not very well. IMO its more of a hindrance in terms of scheduling and affects a teams league performance.

you dont pay to support united do you?
I want to see meaningful competition at OT for the price of it.
if MUFC officially announce that United were not going to compete in the EL nest season or the next 20 years after that if we do decline until the day we get back to the top table then i would pack it in.

We just gave the ball back to them too many times, eventually wore us down and hate to say it seems we don't have the quality to keep the ball for periods of time. Didn't push high enough up the pitch for me either, when Arsenal went there they were brave in the second half and pushed high, Bayern struggled to get out at times against them.

Carrick is very depressed in his interview with Sky

because United must try and qualify for Europa and win it.
It will be like Big Ron days for the next couple of seasons and you have to take the glory bites when they come which wont be very often imo.
Some of the best Euro nights ever whitnessed at OT have not been in the CL/EuroCup

It's only a hinderence to teams with small squads that don't have much strength or depth like Swansea or Newcastle, the likes of Chelsea and Napoli have navigated a Europa League campaign and a good league season.
The playing Thursday - Sunday isn't an issue (should't be) how is it different from Wednesday - Saturday, it's still two games a week and we play games on Sundays anyway.
I believe teams who go through the qualifying rounds of the CL only play three games less than a team in the Europa, from game one to the final.

Why would we want to support Money, oh sorry, City.
