Agree with robbo for once  - United played ok, but could of easily lost that match, the defending was pretty woeful throughout the night, Evra constantly gave the ball away whilst attacking and couldn't be arsed getting back, Rafael was dogshit, "consistent Carrick" couldn't do anything, the passing wasn't anything great, as stupid as it may sound, I thought Van Persie was pretty poor, Giggs and Rooney looked pretty good, but if it wasn't for a world class double save from De Gea, United would be out and all their fans would carry on with the Moyes out campaign and going on about how shit they were again
You're focusing on every deficiency yet overlooking the fact RVP scored a hat trick, Rooney covered every blade of grass and Giggs was absolutely majestic in centre mid. Valencia and Wellbeck both played well as well.
United needed a 3 nil win and got it, the majority of folk would have said that was impossible after the weekend. It was a good performance and Moyes deserves a portion of the praise for it.
Yes I am/we are.
There's enough people giving them credit, and bigging them up, I like to give the other view

+1 - The second we were drawn again Bayern we knew we would have to have two great performances combined with bad ones from Bayern to have a chance.
As it was they played well both times but Bayern were that step up in quality. They did what they could. If they had played crap and lost it would have been different feelings

Is AVB Scottish? His nationality is irrelevant as was Ferguson's.

I count positive football as actively looking for a goal, for the most part we did that. There were chunks of the game where the defence just sat back, even Moyes was on the touchline screaming at the back line to move up and they wouldnt. Lack of respect? Worried too much about conceding? I dont know.
Two goals came from set pieces but do you not have to create the opportunity for the set piece? The ball in to RVP for the penalty was nothing short of world class.
100% agree with the fact we need to be consistent now. We have given ourselves something to build on and this has to happen.

Sounds more to me like fans of opposition clubs shitting themselves rather than United tbh.
They will turn the corner given time and Moyes will be a part of it.
