2014/15 we were doing better in this regard. I remember the team smashing Parma 7-0. Though we had a team with a different mentality and characteristics in that period.
I watch Bayern and am wondering when its going to be the time we play like this.
Their posture on the field is fantastic and every attack is dangerous and efficient.
It's amazing the resurgence they've had just within a season or two. Last year they looked almost as poor as us and it looked like their time was over yet they've done incredibly turned it around.
Man it’s simple, all their players press very high and very well. Barca players either make long passes (which are easily stopped by Bayern CBs) or wrong pass that leads to a goal. See Perisic goal.
I'd rather take a humiliating exit to Lyon then getting mauled by any of these top teams. In our current shape, we'd have got pummeled even by the likes of Leipzig.
We are so far behind the likes of Bayern, it's crazy tbh.

Yup Bayern have physical players up top that can press like there's no tomorrow. On the other hand it's difficult to create an effective press when you have players like Messi and Suarez up top. We have the same problem with Ronaldo and Dybala.
