Bayern Munich vs. City Post-Match Discussion Thread

navas does a load of defensive covering as well. he is so fucking quick. every time he tried to go past the defender he beat them easily.

class player.

we're gonna piss the league
 
We looked pretty good in the second half, fearless and disciplined. Unlike the dross we played under Mancini against european teams where most of our players looked like they'd shit themselves under any sort of pressure.

I'm not enjoying this BT Sports - I don't subscribe to TV channels to have them praise City and say good things about us. I'm switching back to Sky - I'm comfortable with the constant slagging us off and the cheap jibes.

*falls off seat laughing* I am sooooo pleased that I have BT Sports, and nothing extra to pay because I am a BT Broadband & BT Vision subscriber.

Let's hear what VK has to say now.

Ref cheated the f*ck out of us from winning... played really good near the end of 1st half and in 2nd half...

Negredo scored for us... we had a lot of great chances and we pushed champs on Europe to the edge!

All in all pleased, with 2.5 weeks before season starts we are going to scare the living hell and pretty much smash a lot of big teams in the coming comps.

did Boyata do well? was wondering if he may yet have some use seeing as CB is where we still need guys (I would still like to see Pepe brought in regardless though).

He did mostly okay I think. Shaky at times but there was some sustained pressure. Make of it what you will.
 
good work out we contained them first half and matched them second half.

Michael Owen comparing guadiola taking over Munich as the same as gollum at the rags what a clown
 
We looked solid defending and good on the attack, the lack of possession and the ability to knock it around was a disappointment but playing a German side (champions league winners) on German territory you're never going to dominate the game!

It's amazing how match fit and prepared the players look compared to the beginning of the pre-season I think over-all it's been a very beneficial pre-season!
 
So many positives to take out of that game. Vinnie was incredible and given we played without Merlin, it was a great team performance. A perfect workout before the real business starts. Also a complement to Pants. He played really well.
 
All four signings offer us something that we lacked last season, Yaya and fernandinho will be awesome in the middle, Navas will scare most left backs, Jovetic looks a class act and Negredo gets in some great positions, they will go in for him when it matters.
Only concern for me in both games was that both Pablo and Micah got caught out of position quite a few times. Hopefully MP will sort that out.
Well done Boyata and Vinny is back to his best. Good stuff boys.

Navas is just brilliant.....it does not matter which defender tries to mark him as he just waltzes on past them. He is going to terrify defences in the Premier League.

Considering the opposition, every City fan should be absolutely buzzing off that

A fair ref, and Silva, Aguero and Nasty and we'd have won. Doesn't really matter. The main thing is we opened up bayern time and time again, and if the players didn't know before, they know now just what they can do this season

Doesn't matter what Utd or Chelsea do in the transfer mkt, MCFC should be very very competitive this season.

I'm very happy with that performance. Bayern were very close to full strength, we weren't although strengthened our team in the second half by replacing Barry with Yaya. Navas adds real danger to our team, too. Kompany looked almost the best I have ever seen him tonight, anticipating and acting on everything with perfection. Boyata did well considering the high level of the opposition but should have gotten on to the cross that led to their second goal. Zaba was disappointing though.

Make no mistake, we are behind Bayern and will be for a while but we have the right manager I think and are building a squad that in the future could rival them. I think our squad could still be improved some, but it can't all be done in one window. Garcia and Barry being replaced by a third high caliber midfield option (with the developing Rodwell as the fourth) would help us a lot I think. Fernandinho and Yaya are both top drawer but after them there is a pretty big drop off.

Negredo played very well but lacked a clinical edge until his brilliant goal where he made Javi Martinez look second rate. Jovetic also looked very good again but was a little starved of the ball because Bayern had so much.

Finally, this is twice now we've been to FC Bayern United's ground in the last couple of years and had a positive flow ruined by very dodgy referee decisions. This was just a friendly so doesn't matter too much, but we've been treated like dirt by referees in Europe so far. Wolfgang Stark was very much the German making sure the German club won the German tournament tonight.

Agree with all that.
 
Considering munich start their season next week and we dont for three,i thought we were unlucky to lose this friendly,held our own,to be fair i had my worries about pelligrini taking over,but i get a feeling we could see something special from this team this season barring injuries to key players,roll on the new season....
