The Red Devil's Horrorshow

Ivica Olic; who is he? Don't answer it, I don't give a shit.

Without pain, without sacrifices, we are nothing.

Damn. Losing in the Allianz Arena is like a repeat of 1999. The reversed version.

Oh, the pain. Rooney limped out of the field after game. I pray, everyone pray that it's not metatarsal. Come Saturday, it's Chelsea. In Rooney we hope.

He scored the first goal in 64 seconds adding to his goals tally amounted to 34.

Personally, I think Gary Neville VS Franck Ribery was stupid. Forget experienced player for this one, just use Rafael da Silva for God's sake. Hey, speed against speed. It's easy.

Then in the second half came Neville's hand rescued Bayern. They got a chance to equalize and Ribery scored that one with a deflection off Rooney. Louis van Gaal tactic was obvious; tackle the player who's assisting Rooney. Nani get the most of the beating. And second half belong to Bayern Munich.

From France with Love.

Luck wasn't on the Devil's side. Vidic hit the post. Rooney stuttered twice in front of goal.

92nd minutes marked the defeat in Germany. Ivica Olic made a run to steal the ball from Evra, went pass Ferdinand and beat Van Der Sar; whose heroic save earlier erased by Olic's late winner.

4-5-1 proven to be a flunk against Bayern Munich. The set play was to wide has enabled Bayern Munich to move freely. It was a safe play by Munich, Muller, Van Bommel, Altintop; which is amazing on the right and along side Ribery, it was too much contain with United's set of player. It didn't come out as expected, but thank God for the away goal.

United now need to re-think about a strategy against Bayern Munich in a week.

But now, they have to go against Chelsea this Saturday.

Yes, think old man, think.
