Bayern Munich (H) - CL QF | Post Match Thread

Bayern will attack from the first minute next week which will leave gaps at the back for us to exploit. And I can't see their keeper having as good a game, so I wouldn't be surprised if we go there and beat them. I'm confident we'll score at least one goal.

We cannot afford to take the game too lightly and relax at all but with a three goal cushion it makes going there a lot easier than it could have been.

And to think we could have offloaded him (probably for a loss) in the summer. Now he’s one of the first names on the teamsheet for me.

I've liked Ake ever since I first saw him playing against us where i think he was their(Bournemouth's) MOTM on two occasions. That said I never thought he'd turn into an absolute monster at the back like he has done. Rock solid and dependable.

Tuchel is an absolure arsehole....



I like Germans, I know some lovely Germans, but self deprecation is not one of their characteristics and neither is self awareness.

Not surprised by what he said. He had to be positive because it’s just halftime. But I’m sure he knows he’s very lucky to have a sniff still.

next week will be very interesting because they will know if we score first its all over. So not sure they will come out guns blazing or do same as today. They will feel if they can get to 1-0 by haiftime it becomes a totally different game.

Let's just say we agree to disagree.

FWIW, he is getting absolutely ravaged in Germany, both for the loss and his post-match comments.
 
The worst thing we can do is sit back and try to defend our lead. I just hope Pep doesn't have another European night brain fart and try to overthink things. A similar lineup and tactics as tonight and we'll go there with enough belief and confidence to beat them at theirs.

Getting beat 3-0 in the first Leg for them is a disaster.

They have no choice to go for it now.

I think it will be a high scoring game. Wouldn't surprise me if it finishes 3-3,4-4,we will hit them on the counter.

I dont see them making up the 3-0 deficit.

They are a good side,but so are we.I think we are also much wiser now.Our time is coming.

I agree about us being more wiser now, especially after the fiasco in Madrid last season. That was the most bizarre 45 minutes I've ever seen us play. I still cannot workout how we lost it. Its not as though we capitulated either. A lesson learned, hopefully.

True but I would also add a note of caution, they have the players that could pull off an incredible comeback, we will still have to be at our best to win the tie.

I thought it was a lot closer than the scoreline would suggest.

We need to be at it next game

Thank you! I was there tonight and it was nerve wracking... Thought we were clinging on a bit in the first 60 minutes, with them outplaying us for some periods. We owe the result to Rodders who opened it up with that beautiful goal on his weaker foot. Yes, we missed some chances but they had plenty of shots on goal which Eddie struggled with
