On a more positive note, I really love Hojlund goal. It's classic number 9 goal. On the turn, hit it almost cleanly, ball hit a defender try to block it, but it still went it. It's something we really lacking last season.
Me too. That match could easily have ended 5-1 and we couldn't have complained. 2 end of match goals that make no difference to the fact that we lost cannot gloss over poor performance. People who say we would have won without the pen are deluded. We were in the game for 20 minutes at the begining and then for 2 minutes after the 2-1.I agree

That's absolute bollocks. De Gea has made silly mistakes and followed it up with brilliant saves so many times. You need not shit on DDG to praise Onanabut unlike DdG his head didn't go and he made one other excellent save when a goal looked certain
Yes as I pointed out before the game Bayern in their last ten home champions league games had won 8 and drew two and conceded just 3 goals in those ten games and played the the likes of Man City,Inter,PSG and Barcelona twice.I think you guys are being too negative. Only the absolute best teams challenge Bayern at their own ground and take away something countable!
My heart was in my mouth every time he received the ball with his back to the goal inside our box. He's so good at finding runners arriving late and we suck so bad at marking those runs.
Really weird to say it after conceding 4 goals, but I felt our defence played quite well, they were just let down by other players around them.
Eriksen - a dreadful game, he's too slow to be a DLP and after 20 minutes was just walking around the pitch
It was good entertainment but not really a good match. Bayern's defence continue to prove to be a problem and United is in trouble as we all know.Missed it. Was it good?
True, but in comparison to their last season it's terrible. They ended the group stage with a GD of 18:2, so they are already worse after one match than after six last year. And those six include beating Barca twice, so beating Barca is in the context of Bayern Munich nothing special, that's their daily business.God even the German media think were mud. We aint that bad! We beat Barcelona this year, and won a cup, honest!
Shaw will probably have a pretty long "coming back from injury" phase.Shaw to partner Varane
A rest won’t be the answer. That’s just the way he plays and as always played. There’s no changing him.Our midfield is a huge worry. Must say having our captain be this careless and gift the ball away like that which resulted in their final goal is not good. I think he needs a rest.
Like what indeed. Watched the game on Virgin media, I don't often say this but Damien Delaney talked the most since by basically calling it like it was. The smug Liverpool supporting presenter and Brian Kerr was like they were watching another match with their views while Richard Dunne is bloody awful had to turn it off than listening to him anymore.Listening to radio last night and there was people saying it was the most 1 sided game they’ve ever seen and someone said despite the 7 goals it was a boring match. I was like whaaat! They obvs didn’t watch the city game the other night, 30+ attempts But was still only 3-1.
De Gea's last European away "performance".

Felt a lot like Bayern were not really taking United seriously and considering how quickly they answered twice to United it felt a bit justified, but still this Bayern team lacks a lot of concentration and ruthlessness, they are still very far away from their best.
Which also roughly summarizes the reaction of German media to this match - scoring four is good, but conceding three against this United team is inacceptable.
I see the last ~10 years of mediocrity weren't enough for Leverkusen fans to stay a bit more humbleI think you guys are being too negative. Only the absolute best teams challenge Bayern at their own ground and take away something countable!

yeah, you and me mate, you and me.It was great mate, just like his darn disallowed goal last week. We have not scored goal like that for ages. This season I live for Hojlund coming good and goals like Hannibal's. Need to find positives where we can.....
