Mandzu isn't bad aerially but this ball skills aren't super.It's difficult to crack an eight-man defense. We don't have a tall striker that's good at headers anymore...

shit you not, saw that Bebe gif and remembered there are rumours that he might be called up for the WC squad.
United would be nuts not picking him up.
United would be nuts not picking him up.
Except that had he passed, instead of holding and then shooting, during the last counter either Gotze or Muller might have had a tap-in. Back to his old ways...
butGod, Bayern are sooo boring to watch now. I miss Jupp, they played some amazing stuff under him.
And you must be 6 thinking that dribbling 5 players in a 7 a side match and hitting the corner flag with your shot makes you boss. Probably pat yourself on the back and go to the toilets for a quick mirror wank.
But yeah, if Messi was scoring 1 goal in every competition I am sure everyone would be talking about him as player of the year still. Its the effort that counts right.

YOU DONT UNDERSTAND! Forget about his goals and assists, he drags defenders out of position. Having him play on the wing is certainly better than having a player like Ribery, Hazard, Reus or Bale.

They're the side who need a goal...
we don't have english teams in the Bundesliga
Agreed on their performance again United, but if Bayern had decent opposition they'd be bound to play better, or at least more exciting. United will play this kind of football against anyone they draw. Same with Chelsea.

Who is this bum on the FOX set? I left my room and when I returned it looked like a hobo sneaked into the studio.
And they've had moments where they looked like they could get one on the break. More than Bayern have done.

Clearly, just a bunch of submissive teams willing to bend over.
You don't.
Judging on Leverkusen's and Bayern's performances you have utter shite teams in the Bundesliga.
Think it was Jupp who was saying here that a change in formation/tactics/whatever is to blame for Bayern's European form.
Think it's Bayern vs non-Bundesliga opposition myself.
Yeah you have shit teams that can't defend
And what's was Real's excuse for yesterday?
Quite evidently.
How this team cantered to the league is beyond me. They're about as tricky as Victor Moses.
You can have Fulham if you want.

Either you score and they're forced to open up, or you have to run against the wall. That said, our play is too static and there's not enough *oomph*.
Or you force the issue with the knowledge that you're just better than them, and get it done by overwhelming them with numbers, switching positions and running into spaces that are difficult to track. That last past is assumably Gotze's job, but he ain't doing it. There is no intent or effort to achieve the other parts either.
It's like putting the wrong key in a lock over and over again, when the door is made of paper.
putting 10 players on the area is not exactly modern football m8
they defend and attack normally, without killing football like Pep and Moyes do

Maybe the point flew over your head but... CL/Euro > La Liga. And he won best player in Europe on top of that.
Iniesta is a creator. Essentially you are saying Zidane never deserved to win shit because he was never the top scorer.
It's a very narrow view of football that you have.
:lol you sound like a weird Barca fan
Juppi Hernandez?

i don't even think there's a less competitive league in continental Europe than the Bundesliga.

Yeah, Welbeck and Valencia are too quick to risk throwing too many players forward (especially since you don't need to score) I guess.
All it'd take is a loose ball, a Rooney pass and a Welbeck sprint, and you;'d be fucked if you overcommitted.
the difference between Iniesta and Zidane is that Iniesta drags defenders out of position, and Zidane drags teams to titles single-handedly.

They don't seem to do either very well if every team loses to this Bayern...

Modern football lol. Anything that gets a result is modern. Not that United are even getting their result right now, but bet they would be behind if they didn't play like this... As it is now, all it takes is some set piece and they could be going through.
I don't think Rooney can actually sprint.
He's lost some pace but he isn't usually this lead footed. That toe injury must be holding him back.

Bayern sucks, ManUre may pull the upset.
Not really lol
