I get we were away from home but we needed to get a result today against a battered and low-confidence United side.

 

Really disappointing but if we can win the next two and maybe get some luck with other results, its a title race again.

But to make up two games with only eleven games remaining?  I dunno.  Leicester shows no sign of slowing down. 

 

A very disappointing performance today.

Brutal day.  One of the most undeserved defeats I've seen.

 

3 posts hit, a foul committed on Ozil that should've negated the first goal, IMO and some other BS>

 

I will give credit to Swansea on their second goal.  A world-class ball put in by Sigurdsson.

 

Blargh.  Battle for second place on Saturday lol.

Holy crap. If we win the match Saturday the title race will be close again.

 

Great match today in Darmstadt on a pitch that really didn't deserve the name. Unconventional starting 11 with Passlack, Castro Durm and Ramos starting. Darmstadt basically plays only long balls to their big striker Wagner and goes for the second balls. Terrible to watch, but also terribly effective. Today however, Hummels and Subotic won almost all aerial duels against him so there was no danger in that field. Ramos probably played his best match for us so far.

Best thing: Sahin, Kagawa, Bender, Schmelzer didn't play at all. Mkhitaryan only 20 min. Reus didn't even make the journey to Darmstadt.

 

So stoked for the match Saturday. Since Bayern's defence basically consists of wing backs and a struggling Tasci, we should be able to score some goals. And our defence this year has been so much better than last year. Atmosphere will be incredible.

Absolutely buzzing boys. Just got to my hotel in Dortmund can't wait for the match this weekend. Then to England for two huge games against West Ham in the FA Cup and Pool in Europa league action. I don't know if I'll be able to sleep tonight. Definitely crossing two HUGE items off my bucket list in the next two weeks.

On the same boat as you. Got tickets to the match against Everton next month. Gonna be traveling from London by train. So excite. Might also plan to go to Wembley and see England play Netherlands.
