Bringing on Young killed any chance of us winning. That and leaving Fellaini on. Januzaj has the pace and skill to cause them problems. Everyone and his brother knows exactly what Young is going to do.

Young did extremely well when he came on. Saying he killed any chance is ridiculous :).
 
Kept it tight and well positionally. One little lapse and that was their goal.

A really solid performance. We can take confidence form this. Write us of at yer peril.
 
Well given my expectations have to say I am quite pleased with the heart and teamwork displayed today. I am not holding out much hope on the return leg. We could have easily had two more, questionable (in my mind) call by the ref and poor decision by Danny, but that is the way football is.
 
I said I'd happily take a 2-1 loss before the game. 1-1 with two important players out of the away leg is great!! We have a slight chance now. Defend well there and hit them with a set piece.
 
Great for us.


The nice part is that Pep can't play his preferred 4-3-3 formation. Not near as frightening as three of Kroos, Thiago, Martinez and Schweinsteiger there.

Why? Surely Kroos would just come in and play where Schweiny was playing tonight?
 
That Welbeck chance could have made all the difference. :( We should have won this!
 
Set up perfectly for away leg lads. Hopefully Rooney won't be as poor as he was today, and we won't have the pressure of playing at home on us. Them not having Schwein and Martinez will also, hopefully, play its part. Rafa and Evra (maybe even Buttner on today's performance) will be back, so we could infact go with Kagawa from the start even though I stand by the fact that United are 100000x different to Dortmund and he wont have the same effect he had against Bayern with them.

Overall, pleased but we could have won it if Danny put us away and his goal wasn't ruled out.
 
C'mon Moyes haters. I'm not a big fan of Moyes, but bloody hell didn't get the tactics perfect for this one! It was just enough to give us an edge in the game as well us soak up their tiki-taka stuff.

Admit it, he prepared us well for this one.

Defending wise yes, attacking wise? Definitely not. Hoofing the ball up to Fellaini the entire time isn't really the United way.
 
With Evra coming back for next week and hopefully a few more of our defenders recovering from injuries like Rafael we should be a bit stronger at the back, which we will need to be over there. Might mean Moyes can change what is ahead of them as think the team he picked tonight was taking into account the reshuffle at the back.

I think Fergie prepared us today. Not once Moyes showed glimpses of this level of tactics.
 
They will only have Kroos, Alaba, Lahm and Goetze able to play in the middle for the return leg. Poor bastards :(.
 
We did well, that is the type of performance we needed against City and Liverpool. Valencia is a must in these types of games. I'm proud of the lads, Felliani is awful.
 
A great result, but it wasn't against a Bayern side that just wasn't its normal self today. Still, the result was a deserved result.
 
Bayern were shite. Had possession yeah, but toothless. If Muller starts next leg, we win.
 
Well done Moyes and team. Proud performance. We can do it in 2nd leg!! Come on!!
 
Solid performance, second half was pretty good, Bayern not with their best day, but the 1-1 beside a very good performance from our defenders. Hope we can show a similiar performance away, then I will be fine.

United way?? We played the United way under Fergie against Barcelona? Twice?

We were playing an absolute juggernaut of a team that steamrolls teams. We did quite excellent in the second half. We played quite well going forward as well considering the opposition.
