Coming from 2 down on their turf with a second string team including Garcia (who played well second half!) and winning despite a ref giving most of the decisions favourably to the home team (pen aside) against a near full strength Bayern (only Robben missing wasn't there!?)
I think we've just shown Europe what we're about. Sure no-one will be wanting to draw us in the next round now!
Credit to Pellegrini as well, I dunno what he said at half time but it seemed to have a decent effect. I can't imagine us winning having been 2-0 down with Mancini. Because of our focus on attacking now it basically meant even at 2-0 we were still likely to score, didn't see that much under Mancini when the going was tough.
Shows that you give yourselves a chance with that extra man in midfield. Zabaleta, Silva and Milner were all outstanding, Kolarov and Navas not far behind, with solid contributions from nearly everyone else.
Very proud of the team tonight, what was in effect our second string against a strong Munich side that resorted to diving and time wasting (never mind the officials giving them help as seems the norm at the allianz) would have been nice to get the other goal but 15 points and qualification is more than enough for me after the last 2 years
