Hope its Real next, two-games better than a final, most enjoyable match up among the final 4. But likely nobody beats Real this year, too strong at the mids, and Ronaldo will be in the right place for the right touch a few times over two games.

Mata on the field made all the diff vs Liverpool, they were threatening all game and fun to watch. Pairing Fellani or Pogba instead with Matic just kills any attack except for set plays, garbage to watch,

the special one @ Chelsea swarmed D’s with Hazard and interchangeable smallish and fast mids with skills (Willian, Schulle, that Brazilian guy). Mata is the only comparable non-ancient mid on MU that can move through the middle and feed Sanchez and Lukaku, and he doesn’t use him, dooms the game to putrid boring crap…

Lichtsteiner Too old to get a lot of starting minutes now, comes off the bench and coldly carves up the Spurs D to set up the first. Juventus is loaded with experience and quality and confidence, can beat anybody if their creaky bodies don’t break down. Expected Kahdira’s legs to go by end of game, must be on…

Except for DeGea, there is very little to enjoy in watching MU now. I remember Tevez, Sun, Rooney, Van Persie, etc. go right at defenses in a swarm, together, for the first 20 minutes, MU was a terror, exciting stuff under Sir Alex. Like Man City plays now. With MU, we see “attacks” by only one or at most two goal…

The team that Cy Young played for, that would be a brilliant move. The Spiderman tie-ins could be great, Marvel might pony up some funds to make it happen.

age finally catching up to messi, two men beating on him at all times, no longer enough juice to ride the hits and run through them, and iniesta subbed off at 63 minutes: changing of the guard to younger bodies that can take the punishment over the whole game and still have terrifying speed, like neymar. messi will…

except he never wants a day off, make Hulk mad

Yes also hoping they draw a semi-match, and that Bayern moves Robben to some premier team for big bucks in Jan. Better yet, to Real so he can scold CR7 for not passing to him, THE shooting option.

Walcotts speed makes this approach work better than with Giroud, and he had great touch for a change, much to MU’s dismay. stringing so many movements and passes together usually ends with the final guy (certain big French striker) flubbing it. Game was over before MU could change their approach, from boring to less…
