Moyes proves tactical acumen

i wonder if this is an April Fool's joke or he's being serious

quote:

The bar was set low and United soared over it.


quote:

The team that lost at home to West Bromwich Albion, Everton, Newcastle, Tottenham and Swansea, the side that was eviscerated at Old Trafford by Liverpool and Manchester City, frustrated Bayern Munich. Whether or not it saves Moyes’ job, United salvaged some pride. They avoided defeat.


quote:

Alexander Buttner against Arjen Robben threatened to be the most uneven duel in living memory


quote:

We had to defend well because they have good attacking players


quote:

The young Mancunian made the mistake of trying to chip Neuer when afforded a clean run on goal, but he epitomised United’s fearlessness


quote:

The Croatian, a more orthodox striker, replaced Thomas Muller, deployed by Guardiola as a false nine. Moyes started Marouane Fellaini, a false United player.

They did what they had to do. They kept 9 men behind the ball and took advantage of an opportunity. Bayern's away goal was pretty big because now Man Utd has to try to win it in Munich

Welbeck´s bollocks shrank and sucked up inside him, well before Neuer came out.

i don't watch bayern a whole lot, to be honest. Neuer is a beast, that's for sure.

Dude plays halfway up the pitch at all times. He almost dares you to try to steal one on him. Rarely do men look down into the eyes of the beast and try it, though.

This article was great.
