Im sorry, i didnt realise that this wasnt a forum for expressing opinions,and that we all have to row in the same direction or we are "morons" as per heisenberg. maybe im struggliing to come to terms with the new standards set at man utd, and heisenberg has adjusted quicker than me.

No
You are just being an utter dk head
Did you miss what Barca did to us in 09 and 11 ?
If this had been a mourinho performance it would be a master class
Nobody is under any illusions we played better than them. We did not. They are miles better than us
What we did do is show a little united discipline against the current best side there is
Your article sucks

I think Man utd are first side in like a year to stop Bayern Munich winning away.

October was the last time they failed to win away.

A proud performance Op. Proud of the boys and the manager did the best he could with the resources available to him. Apart from that, there is nothing much that can be said about that performance. We could not string three passes together in that first half. We hoofed the ball and Welbeck chased after it. The whole team defended as a unit and on the whole were sound. Attacking wise, nothing to shout about.
Have to agree with the OP.
I have watched utd since the late fifties, and never have I seen our team adapt these tactics,on an ongoing basis. Utd for me represented, the continuum of the Busby babes achievements in the areas of, flair,
skill, teamwork, belief, attitude, pride, but to mention a few. However since Fergie has stepped down, it is quite evident during games that these essential player characteristics are no longer in play. How has this happened? Lack of respect for the manager?, Lack of respect for the club? Lack of respect for fellow players?
Who let this happen in such a short period of time?

We played these tactics with Fergie to.
We don't have the players to go toe to toe, we haven't for a long time.
Fabio Borini I believe it was for the champions league. Crazy record.
It's hard when you can't get the ball, players did well to keep concentration and discipline, can become demoralising playing against that, having said that we had a legit goal chalked off
This is the Bayern that turned up at City and destroyed them for large parts of the game.
Like it or not, we're not in their league.
That isn't Moyes' fault, and he did a good job in setting the team up to get a result - which is ultimately his aim.

Sorry but it's neen a few seasons now. Not just this season.
For example, do you not remember Southampton, Yes, Southampton pinning is back at Old trafford not long back?
Fergie had adopted a tactic of sitting 10 yards off the opposition for a while now and any team that pressed us (Wigan 2 seasons ago) we utterly struggled with it.
Then a couple of weeks later, remind me how we set up against City?
