at least city played in a group with teams from countries recognized by the UN. how the hell could United not get through in what could have been the easiest group in the history of the competition?
Yeah, really crap performances. Not buying an attacking central mid in the summer was the downfall and will continue to be the downfall.
Also to blame is still playing people like Park and having to rely on Giggs, who as good as he is/was, is on his last legs. Ferdinand is past it. Young is so overrated it's hilarious. Maybe this loss will finally get Fergie to admit the squad isn't that good, and maybe (unlikely) it will get the Glazers to finally allow us to buy someone that isn't 18 years old or English. Now Vidic is out for 4 months.
Basel is ridiculously underrated though. Xherdan Shaqiri is really good and will soon be at one of Europe's elite clubs.
To be fair, group G was the easiest group ever.
