Cracking strike
Now this is getting interesting. Great goal.
Great strike.
What an abysmal half of football from Bayern. Worst all season by far.
What was the idea behind defending that last freekick like that? Horrible defensive setup... crackin' goal, though. Damn it.

2-0 Dost again! What a strike!
Great goal 
What a strike, Wolfsburg have been excellent so far.
Beautiful goal
Hows Arnold/Knoche been doing for Wolfsburg?
Alonso hasn't been able to recapture his form at all so far, sadly. Schweinsteiger mostly invisible and noticably irritated. Catastrophic midfield performance.
What a strike! Wolfsburg have been my team in the Bundesliga since 97. Never been a Dost boy myself but two fantastically taken goal. Wolfsburg have been all over them.
It would be too defensive, I agree, but it hasn't really worked out for Alaba this game. I thought he was still injured until I saw him 5 min ago. Completely anonymous.
Guardiola doesn't consider Müller an option for the central midfield at all (according to his book) so he'll avoid playing him there at all costs altough I think it'd make sense to have Alaba set up on the wing permanently in the 2nd half with Müller trying to bring more movement into the static midfield. Or Götze.
Nothing worked so far, awful performance. I don't think any of the Bayern players performed well.
Excellent performance by Wolfsburg so far, solid at the back, good pressure and some nice direct attacking. Bayern unusually sloppy with their passing.
Just for City I'm afraid.
Since then we had 16 against Arsenal and 11 against Boro. Also, from the 16 against Arsenal, only 3 went to a City player, and I'm pretty certain we took a few short corners that game as well
Worth noting that account only does stats for PL games I think. I'm pretty certain we haven't scored from a corner in any competition since the Arsenal one so if its 139 in the PL then it could be over 200ish in all competitions.
This! His performances this season are really underrated, he does so many little things in midfield for us, even in his quiet performances he constantly connects midfield and attack and it's so important. He's also fantastic in tight spaces, while all our midfielders today aren't.
Wish some United fans on here would watch this game, that might give all the drama queens some perspective. A lot that's been said about United this season would also apply to Bayern's first half:
- Within 30 minutes, Boateng and also Dante played more than 10, possibly 20 long balls. Some decent ones, some poor ones.
- Bayern didn't create much. A good shot from Alaba from distance, one or two set pieces and maybe one or two other decent attempts. No real danger.
- Lewandowski was invisible, for the people slacking off Falcao and RVP.
- Alonso made himself available between the two CB's a lot. Not exactly 3 at the back, but some moments it looked like it.
Just shows how difficult it can be sometimes to play good football, even for an insanely talented group of players like Bayern.
Rodriguez was decent first half. Shaw is a great talent, has at least as much potential as Rodriguez. But he's nowhere as ready physically and mentally, shame we didn't get Rodriguez in the first place, or even better both.
Bas Dost was a very decent striker in Holland, but what's happening right now is probably the most succesful and also lucky 45 minutes he will ever play. Good for him though. Wolsburg looked very compact and have everything going for them, right attitude too. But with Bayerns quality, if they can get a quick goal, nothing is impossible.

Heh, i just hope Wolfsburg doesn't play like this when we face them in the Europa league
They usually play well but often struggle with their finishing. Schürrle might help with that though.
Seriously. Why do we even execute corner kicks, we should just give the ball to Wolfsburg and save the time.
So picking obviously Bayern's worst 45 mins and say that United fans shouldn't be pissed because Bayern's worst 45 mins can be applied to our whole season?
And Shaw is ready physically, a really good defender but not suited to the wingback role.
Referee has been pretty lenient. The aggressive play in midfield by Gustavo and Arnold has seemingly subdued Bayern--Alonso isn't having his best match either.
This game is like when your team becomes suddenly shit in FM
Good chance there.
This is very very wrong.
YEEESSS
OMG.
Game over
De Bruyne makes it 3!
Goal! What a disaster of a game, Bayern are having.
This is fantastic to watch.
Why not play an offside trap in the opposing half, that's a brilliant idea guys. We did that last season as well a few times, awesome.
Bayern
This fecking high line defense... so sick of it. The stubborness even though it didn't work at all in the 1st half...
Horrible performance. Worst I've ever seen a Guardiola team play for 53 minutes.

Holy crap!
Lets buy De Bruyne, I don't give a shit if we have ten tens.

Bayern don't seem to have fixed their vulnerability to counters.
