I can't stress enough; this is Bayern München's 12th pre-season game, it's our 6th!

why do we never take a short goal kick?

we seem to hoof it straight back to them.

I agree and it's because our keepers aren't very comfortable in possession.

The rags are very bitter when one of their ex players doesn't completely lick their arse in the media. Hargreaves getting a shoeing on rag cafe.

 

[jimharri]

Oh no we are only drawing away at the champions of Europe, WTF.

Last season we thrashed the champions of Europe several times!

(I agree with you, this is meaningless)

When did we ''thrash'' them?

 

[Rascal]

Ribery is what De Niro would have looked like in his late 20s

 

[stan bowles]

It's like a boxing match. Absorb everything aimed at you for couple of rounds and then BANG lol

Yes like Foreman v Ali 1974 !!

Navas cost us 22.9m wow

He cost us £14.9million.

22.9 dollars.

Zabaleta and clichy are getting destroyed , hahhahha Hargreaves comment made me giggle then ,"I've had as many touches as negredo"

 

[TheMaineRoad]

Can anyone tell me where aguero is?

On the bench.

 

[BlueDan91]

happy with what iv seen so far. we've got to be realistic and realise we cant go and attack every team. bayern are extremely strong and this is a great test. a great exercise for the team as a defensive unit, its still all about fitness and the rigours of playing top quality opposition week in week out in the prem and in europe.

 

[zandvoort blue]

Pellegrini could be simply tiring Bayern out.... he's done that before

and then going with a stronger attack in the second half.

This......Navas on when they are tired. Something we will see away from home this season.

Painful watching Gareth Barry against a top quality midfield like this.

 

[stan bowles]

Poor Barry...looks like he's running in treacle. Just can't get near them or the ball.

 

[Pigeonho]

Painful watching Gareth Barry against a top quality midfield like this.

He saved our arse just then.

 

[Hamann Pineapple]

New channel, same commentary, pure hatred, willing the opposition to score.

When a team is pressing you so far up the pitch the last thing you want to do is play it short. Especially with the personnel we have on the pitch.

we need to be calmer in possession, get our passing going.

 

[bluemoon27]

Barry was shocking last night and tonight every Bayern player is just walking past him

 

[Three's Kompany]

Doesn't sound like we're playing that great from what I've been reading. Stuck at work, tempted to pull up a stream.

Don't you mean what he will look like when he is in his late 20s? :-) He is only in his mid 20s surely?
