Yup true. Ever since the second half of last season, we started playing in a more pragmatic way against the big teams, none of that possession football anymore, we're simply not good enough to pull that off, especially against the bigger teams. Now we started playing a style that depends a lot more on counter attacks; we did the same against United recently.

But it was indeed a perfectly executed gameplan, on our day we can be quite good.

No problem, we'll beat them in Germany too



And i don't have to disappear for a few days either

It's all well and good that Arsenal won, but your master lost.

By the way, how promising is Bellerin, his run for the second goal was absolutely amazing. This isn't the first time he does this sort of thing. He's got a really promising future ahead of him, that pace is mesmerizing.

Given his age I think he has another 15 seasons of fourth place finishes in him. Sure looks good!

What logic are you talking about? And be sure of Juve winning, in then it is what you believe will happen just as what I believe will happen. When I say I am sure Roma will win against Bayer at home it does not mean they will do in reality; it only means that I am sure of MY prediction.

I'm just teasing you.

I'd guess Roma qualify after this result, although I could see them fucking up one of the Bate/Bayer home games. They have a tendency to do such things.

Roma last in the group right now, them finishing the group there would actually be bad for us.

They'll win against BATE, draw against LEV and lose in Barcelona. And finish 3rd

Really poor set-up from Bayern in that game.

Mueller's attacking movement is still, to my mind, the most dangerous thing about Bayern's attack and Bayern never let him move off his wing the whole game.

That meant Bayern were relatively easy to contain, though Arsenal did not defend well at all, so still conceded several clear chances.

Bayern were obviously scared of Arsenal's pace on the break, which is not unreasonable.

But that led to them not pushing either fullback high enough up the pitch to allow Bayern to maintain width/shape without wasting Mueller.

What was even worse was that Bayern's fullbacks still got high enough up the pitch that they weren't in a useful position to defend counter-attacks.

It would have made more sense if Vidal had held deep with Alonso in order to keep balance while Lahm went forward and freed Mueller to get closer to Lewandowski.

Perfectly executed gameplan from Arsenal.

Was Bayern missing three or four clear chances part of the gameplan?

Guardiola's limitations as a coach really start to show when the team he's coaching isnt rediculously superior to the opponent.

Had there ever been a CL game where both sides blew a two-goal lead?

Guardiola's limitations as a coach really start to show when the team he's coaching isnt rediculously superior to the opponent.

I like what Guardiola's is doing this season (or at least I like it more than what he was doing).

He is moderating his approach and going back to something recognisable as regular football instead of the ludicrously extreme possession game he has enforced in recent years.

That's giving the players more freedom to go and play.

But he cocked up the game tonight.

 

[Zacheryah]

While i agree with that aswel, i can allmost watch their games these days, it doesnt take away that his limitations as a coach start to show, and he's quite fallen of his pedestal he never should have been on.

Roma's uselessness knows no bounds.

Roma's uselessness knows no bounds.

The fact they nearly lost 5-4 when they were up 4-2 with like 15 mins left. Atrocious.

They were up 4-2 with 6 minutes left

hope we stay with 3 CL spots, more cash for Juve. Since Serie A lost 4th CL spot we've been getting way more money than all the biggest teams.

only reason i'd want to see Serie A get the 4th is just to see EPL lose one.

Hah! Even worse lol. I was listening to the last 20 mins on Italian radio

what crap shall we watch

You don't watch Gent?
They actually play very well, too bad lady luck isn't on their side.

Bayern hopeless- always complacent against English teams. Lost to Man City last season, lost thrice to Arsenal in three years, almost knocked out against United in 2013-14, losing the 2012 final against Chelsea and the 1999 final to United.

Until recent years, we also had a similar shitty record against EPL teams.

What a nonsense game that was in Leverkusen. I know German teams like flying up one end of the pitch but Roma are just pathetically imbalanced.
