CL Matches 1-2 April

Post by gp543 »

If anyone still gives a fuck now.


Bayern to cruise and the other match to end in a score draw.

PSG/Chelsea draw tomorrow and Real to win comfortably.

Bayern should batter United particularly over 2 legs.

Barca Vs Atletico will be a good one to watch. I don't mind who wins.

Real will most likely beat Dortmund perhaps needing both legs to do it.

PSG vs Chelsea is the hardest one to call as they're both unpredictable.

I certainly do give a fuck about United getting fisted. I keep getting the occasional feeling that United could spring a shock and avoid a drubbing but then I come to my senses and realise how many times this season I've been convinced they're going to get a result despite their poor form and been proved wrong.

Costa's done his hamstring. That's Barca through, then.

The delivery into the box from Bayern is sh*te tonight.

Considering we were bombarded with possession stats from minute zero when we played them with emphasis on how little we had the ball I'm waiting for those stats tonight. Must be 90%-10% in Bayern's favour

Hope Bayern don't do another bottle job tonight

Welbeck is utter dogsh*t he should have scored. Hopefully that wakes these :censored: up :roll:

Bayern are kinda like us, on acid. All foreplay, no penetration.

That is why Bayern have to fucking score :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: On one hand I can understand Welbeck trying to keep his cool and not blast it but don't pull a trick like that against Neuer. It was poorly executed for a start but if there's a keeper who will stand up until the last minute it's him. Just stroke it past him son.

I wouldn't say United have been comfortable but equally I haven't thought that a goal was really imminent at any point. I know Bayern are a more probing, patient outfit than Guardiola's Barcelona team who would try and blitz teams but for most of this half United have sat in their own box putting token pressure on the ball in midfield. They couldn't exactly have been doing any less and were inevitably going to start playing better at some point so I can't believe Bayern seemed so content to do be doing so little with the possession.

United fans have understandably grown in voice, hopefully Bayern will start the second half well and shut those glory-hunting pricks right up.

Slightly worrying that they are starting to resemble Barca in the semi they lost to the chavs. Lots of sideways sh*te. If you just leave bodies behind the ball and a bit of pace and power up front they can't handle it.

That's why that sending off and Ozil's missed penalty still f**ks me off.

If PSG get past the Chavs I think they will win it.

Bayern have deserved that. They've defended like twats all game, let a centre-half have a free header 6 yards out from a corner and what do you expect?

Seems like they thought they only had to turn up to win. United have barely strung two passes together but have been organised defensively and Bayern have looked fairly toothless whilst on the rare occasions they've got half a sight of the ball in the opposition half the Bayern defence has been at sixes and sevens. The signs were there first half and they have come out even more lethargic.

Still a lot of time left but they need to shape up. The disparity between the two sides is outrageous, Bayern have had all the ball yet United have had easily the three best chances.

BETTER

United switched off there. You just cannot give Bayern Munich players space/time on the edge of the box to receive a pass (Kroos has punished us both years for it). As soon as they clipped the ball in you could see the goal happening, Fellaini has to spot that danger for me.

United tactically are in no mans' land now, if Bayern pick their game up there are another 2 or 3 goals for them out here. United have pressed up far more this half and they can punish that.

That is essentially a horrendous dive from Vidic to get Mandzukic booked. I am deadly serious when I say I've seen 'hard as nails' 'honest pro' Nemanja Vidic feign contact/injury as many times at least as Pires despite seeing him play about 20% as much.
