The fact is Bayern will press our midfielders and defence and allow us little time on the ball, so it all depends on how well we use the ball when we do get it off them.
This will not be the cakewailk some are assuming, we could win this with 1 goal difference (such as 2-1 or 3-2), but I do not see our defence keeping a clean sheet considering how easily we've been exposed in most of our games, it has only been due to luck we didn't concede stupid schoolboy error goals against Hull and Stoke as well (two of our three cleansheets were due to luck and poor opposition attackers, rather than quality defending on our part).
This game is 50/50, we could win a tight game or get thrashed out of sight just as easily.
And if we get beat you will be on here giving your words of wisdom, if we win you will be no where to be seen

Really? There's nothing under the sun that's more unedifying?Eaglechief said:There's nothing more unedifying than seeing a bunch of posters thinking how everything in the garden is rosy and that everything is going according to the grand master plan after we win a game, it smacks of complacency and pure arrogance.

Nobody has specifically said this, but I do get the impression some posters are thinking we will perform similarly to the derby game, this just won't happpen.
Bayern are a far better team than the rags, we will not be allowed to dominate their midfield and they will press us hard everywhere on the pitch.
Well tbf chelsea put in a decent performance against them. Only unlucky not to have won.bluemc1 said:Eaglechief said:bluemc1 said:can i add i dont know who Eaglechief has been talking to but ive not spoke to one person who has said this game will be a "cakewalk"

A draw would be a good result in this one.

What about David if he is fit?
In my opinion if Silva is fit he will come straight back into the team. I also think we have to go with Kun and Alvaro, and Clichy because of his speed will be needed in defence.
