Once.We have a defensive weakness if Pep decides he wants to reinvent the Wheel
We have been down this Road a few times before in the latter stages where we expect the obvious and Pep overthinks the game.
How many times have we naively gone out after going away at this stage of the competition with a 2,3, goal lead.
Napoli don’t.You have to play Bayern or Madrid if you want to win this trophy.
Might as well play them across two legs when we can face them at the Etihad.

Even if we somehow make it to the final I really don’t fancy our chances against Napoli over 90 minutes
That front three doesn't play in first eleven any more,they change their tactics and formation because of the balance of the team, they are not good as some think they are.Worst draw we could have had, but that's just the way it goes in Europe. We lost to Monaco and Lyon before when the draws were fine and we've beaten Real and PSG in other knockouts so not necessarily a bad thing.
Bayern were the team I least wanted. They've been excellent in Europe this season and the pace and movement up front from Mane, Gnabry, Sane is just the sort of thing we'd struggle against on the counter or otherwise.
Not great to be at home first either, going there for the away leg will be very difficult unless we have a big lead. Got to make the most of home advantage in the first leg.

But if we play and beat both then the other half won't have had to play them... Pedantic but I had toYou have to play Bayern or Madrid if you want to win this trophy.
