Bayern Munich vs Liverpool - Champions League (Round of 16 - 2nd Leg)

Passing is poor again tonight.

While we are on it I don't really understand the Henderson hate either.

[McDermotX]

Genuinely don't understand the Mo criticism here. If he was **** they wouldn't be double teaming him.

It's not criticism, he's liable to join the game at any moment ...... But he's been extremely reserved in his positioning and runs.
He's no more tightly marked than many games he's excelled in.

Bell ends innit.

[Venton]

Bell ends innit.

Not sure if that's entirely accurate but I'm going to agree with you anyway

[McDermotX]

Lewandoski cheating cunt.

Got away without the reputation for years. Never understood that.

One's on him and one stands off. When the ball comes over the top the one on him barges him in the back and the other picks up the spills.

A reclassification of reactionary simpletons is probably fair.

[danperkins]

Cruised it for 40 mins or so until Robbo switched off and we let them back into the game, so comfortable up until then. Frustrating as we just had to see it out until half time.

[rodo]

obviously take that but very sloppy at times

[Buzzo]

We were starting to wrestle control in that middle section of the half.

Bayern need to go for it sooner or later which might play into our hands. Decent half in a hostile environment. Robbo got roasted on the goal and both full backs will need to be careful.

[danperkins]

Been disappointed with Milners performance.

[calvoboy]

Decent enough that given the context. Awesome finish from mane. Got to stop giving the ball away in midfield. Worry now is that we could end up clinging on as they throw more and more at us, as I can’t see us changing to a more creative midfield while we are still in the lead in the tie...

[BobTheCharmer]

Firstly we're well in this and in a good position.

I just have massive doubts about our attacking plan. Long ball after long ball by the full backs towards Mo. The goal was pure instinct and great finish but it's hardly something worked on in training. That seems to be what we have ended up relying on this year. Rarely do we keep the ball, work it around and probe a genuine opening. Hey it's working so it's more an observation than critism.

Oh and no hendo bashing but him going off means we don't have 3 crabs in there. Fab is more progressive although his passing has gone to ****.

[Venton]

Bit of a shame we had that brainfart at the back as it's given them a bit of confidence. But at least the play it cagey bit has gone out of the window so we should be able to get a few breaks.
