Watch when Barca kicks off. Almost every Bayern player outside of Boateng is in their half and they run at their marks jointly.

Meaning the guy charging the player with the ball is not the only one charging. Other players are cutting out anes to pass options simultaneously.

It's not quite Liverpool maddog style. But the Bayern players are superior to Pools technically.

Yes, clever way to play it. If we end up vs them, I'm sure Pep will be drilling on that to get past the immediate rush and into good space.

Exactly, Bernardo has to play. It’s not a game for Gundy as much as he recycles possession well. Rodri and Bernardo. Foden LW, Raz on the right with Eddy pinging balls over their press to set them on their way.

That’s what I’d go for.

Plus look back to Liverpool at home the other week: Mendy and Walker were our best two players that night, they didn’t let Liverpool’s most effective and creative players do anything (full backs and wingers)

we need that again
 
We certainly need to play with a double pivot against Bayern - If we're good enough against Lyon of course.
 
Guys, stop assuming we're going to beat Lyon, that is naive and crass. These are all one-off matches now so the final could be Leipzig/Lyon, football can throw up some crazy results. Don't assume we will win all the time, doesn't matter we have a great side playing great football, concentrate on the next game, don't look ahead to playing Bayern.
