Lyon finished 7th in Ligue 1 and we look shit scared

 

[MillsyTheMosher]

Really poor so far this.

Major fuck up from pep here

 

[heslops barnet]

All part of Peps master plan

 

[Paul1970]

Our midfield could cost us if we are not careful .

Midfield shit square pegs round holes

I reckon Bayern persuaded him not to do so

Do you not think that that kind of result would make him think he would get the CB spot in that team guaranteed?

We can't play too open against Lyon. They have already beaten and drew with us last season and haven't changed too much.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

KDB is often too high up the pitch in my opinion.

Who am I to second guess Pep...but why switch up the formation for this match? I can see making adjustments for Bayern, but this is Lyon (no disrespect) who did not have a good season in Ligue 1 and a team we should roll over playing our regular game.

Pep has history of changing it up in the latter stages of CL depending on opponents. Not worked overly well in the past for us.

I'm with you - we're a better team than Lyon and they should be changing their game plan to counter us, not the other way round. Bayern the only team in the competition where its more 50:50 in terms of quality.
