There seems to be a tendency to blame yesterday's defeal almost entirely on the choice of full backs. But who were the full backs against Bayern?

Ricards and clichy.

I think Bayern are a class above everyone in our group
Different game.

hmmm..

all I have to say about the general theme to this and other related topics and postings is

"be a man!"

(and no one says that any better than Don Corleone, with a slap to jolt you back into reality too, eheh)

That would be a valid question if Bayern played 3-4-3 and extreme counter attacking football. Does that answer your question?

Let's think about what happened in Naples. We went there with points on Napoli. The important thing was not winning, albeit we knew it would be a tough game against Bayern if we did not win. The most important thing was to not lose. A draw would have been a good result for us and we still would have had our fate in our own hands.

Did we play away tight away style football? If a dwarf team like Apoel from Cyprus can play tight defensive football when required, why can't we? I strongly belive, had we played last years football, we would have gotten a better result.

Looking at the first game at the Eithad, we should have learned the lesson and gone to Naples to beat them at their own game.

The Aguero injury argument simply does not hold. If he was injured, why was he at the bench to begin with? Or did the physio say: He can play from the 81st minute?

Quite often players are deemed unable to run out a game for 90 minutes, but capable of playing a limited role off the bench.

For me especially with a four days to our next game, in a must not lose match our strongest team should have started.

I think Dzeko's performance should be highlighted.

He was totally ineffective and Aguero did more in ten minutes than he did during all the game.
