What makes it worse cant say a specific Bayern player who was very good. They played well as a team but they did not havea standout player. None of them played extremely great. We thought X. Alonso might be their weakness if we close him down but he had about 100% passing stats and we hardly were thinking on their weaknesses...
This Bayern was far from a top form Bayern also with the star players being fit they missed tonight. Trouble is even this Bayern seemed way ahead of us in defending and creating chances.
Same as last year. Barca were there for the taking but we were crap.
But the manager has to take the blame here. Mourtinho would have hooked Yaya off after 30 minutes. We seem to want to play the elite teams with one midfielder.
I thought buying Fernando showed we had begun to understand what was needed. I know he was unavailable but we should have started with Milner.
