Moyes will not change even with a new quality midfielder, why did he play Rooney? why did he not sub him when he realized the mistake? A manager with guts would have not even started him.

His love affair with Rooney is clouding his judgement on that front. Reminds me of Cahill/Neville, obviously on a smaller scale because Rooney is generally a top striker.

For the love of Jesus, why?

hate bayern and I've always liked united

Him and van Persie watching on as we steam roller united 5-0

Don't forget "The chosen one".

That must be complicated, what with you being a kopite

Danny look, Jose thinks you are wrong, his form this season supports this, many people in this thread think you are wrong. Stop digging.

I consider this Mata closed.

If we're calling footballer manager's infallible then it's pointless ever debating anything. Just because Mourinho doesn't fancy him doesn't reflect upon his ability as a footballer.

How you can look at a disjointed season for Mata and say that supports whatever line you're plugging is beyond me. Let his form over his career speak for itself.

What have Bayer ever done to you ?

 

[Tubey]

they could have easily got spanked going that way though. we all knew they were going to lose, probably regardless. they've taken the lead in both legs, the majority didn't think they'd get that close tbh - mind you bayern didn't play that well.

I think our manager would have went out on his sword and gave it a go and hoped the oppo had an off day.

Moyes' version of going out on his sword is not getting beat 8-0.

(It's a play on words I know but hopefully the sentiment is clear enough)

More like he too scared to upset him. Looks like its Rooney who the boss.

Obviously sees Rooney as an important ally in the dressing room and needs to keep him onside through whatever means possible. Pretty poor whenever any manager resorts to that.

The man who relegated Casillas to the bench.

Atletico Madrid seem to have a team of James McCarthys.

Anchelotti's done the same hasn't he?

Yeah. Can't understand it at all. Diego Lopez is a very good keeper But Casillas is better.
