Champions League Round of 8

Robben can very occasionally be a tad selfish.

Another uninspiring half from Bayern. The longer it goes on scoreless, the more United will attack and Bayern need to be careful of their lack of full backs.

Robben continues to look their most dangerous player - he has been wasteful but he’s creating shooting chances and he’s forcing defenders to commit. They need more from Gotze who should be dropping off more I think to play 1-2s off Mandzukic and Muller.

Pep Guardiola is some fucking boring cunt.

Why should that mean that the player has to leave the field?

Because that is the rule.

When people complain about the “silly rules” it’s usually with justification for some pedantic application. But if United want to stop the game for someone to get treatment (at a time of their leisure after their attack fizzled out) then it’s perfectly obvious to everyone that when the physio comes on the player has to leave the field.

It’s a ridiculous rule. Is there any logic for it other than simply ‘it’s a rule’.

Yes.

The logic is that there needs to be some discouragement to avoid players slowing and stopping the game by lying on the ground exaggerating or feigning injury.

He was better from long distance -

Looking at that Valencia chance again - Alaba made a last second decision to step up and play him off, realising he had two players to mark. It was really poor from the centre backs to both get sucked towards the ball and leave the centre of the goal completely vacant.

Fucking hell.

Bayern deserve that.

Yereeees

Hahahaha

Ah for the love of jaysus

Well that didn’t take long.

Why haven’t they gone outside and fired in more crosses? Been an obvious threat in both legs and they keep cutting in. (Excusing Robben from that who is pre-wired to cut in and shoot).

Evra you cunt :smiley:

At least the game has some life now.

We’re going to do it

Rooney FFS. What a chance that was. He barely nudged it.

Rooney shits the course

Only a matter of time, the krauts are beating a retreat
