1) Pretty much. Bayern are the strongest I can ever remember and look like they could become the next great team. We on the other hand after a few squad issues, are playing some of the worst football in a long time and have a manager way out of his depth. It's not going to be pretty.
2) It's hard to say. We don't seem to have the discipline and focus to park the bus effectively and there is really only Welbeck and Rooney, and I suppose Januzaj who have the pace to play on the counter. We could press high and go at Bayern, which seem to be the best way to play them but we won't be able to keep up and our midfield lacks mobility. If I had a choice I'd go for the latter. Better to have a period of the game where we look like we could threaten rather than be so tame throughout.
3) Depending on who's your rightback, and who plays on our left wing, we could see some joy there. Especially if it's Welbeck vs Rafinha. Rooney could do well too against your centre backs if hungry in form Rooney turns up and we manage to give him the ball.
4) Robben simply because he's going to be up against Butner. As for which player I'd take, either Kroos or Thiago. They are the sort of player we really could use in midfield.
5) Yeah, probably. A lot of fans have seem to have gotten used to us being so poor that expectations have gotten pretty low.
6) There are problems with our team and some players have performed badly but Moyes is the biggest problem. It's his tactics, his poor selections, his negativity. There are plenty of managers who could take over the same group of players and get so much more out of them because ultimately this isn't a bad team, certainly better than the majority of teams in our league. It's understandable if a few players have bad patches of form throughout a season but for pretty much every player, some of them world class talents, to all be playing badly only points to the manager being the main problem.
7) We live in hope. If Moyes were to be sacked, it would most likely be at the end of the season. There isn't really anyone currently at the club to be interim manager if Moyes were to be sacked before the end of the season, what with him replacing our coaching staff. The match going fans have started to turn on him and no longer sing his name and with the matches against you guys likely to end in hammerings it's going to get worse. All this might be enough for the board to consider his position but there is a real worry that the club want to cling to some weird romantic and deluded notion that all Moyes needs is time. That and a 100m warchest.
8) No not really. He left plenty of good young players who can be the backbone of the club for years to come and the major flaws of the teams weren't so grave that they couldn't be sorted out in a single transfer window. The team that was left was still good enough to perform a lot better than we have been doing.
9) The premier league. As good as Bayern are, they shouldn't be winning the league so comfortably. The lack of quality competition and being able to sign the best players of your closest rival in recent season, isn't healthy at all for the league. That said, financially the bundesliga is a dream and should be the goal for most leagues around Europe, especially the Premier League.
10) One of the traditional European superpowers along with Barca, Real, Man United, Liverpool, AC Milan, Ajax etc. I like to see them as a mirror to United in terms of history and tradition as well producing young talent(though English talent is pretty lacking these days). I have a great respect for Bayern Munich.
