Mueller hits out at City strikers

[kenzie115]

Don't agree.

Aguero and Dzeko closed down the centre backs well enough, just as Nasri and Navas covered the full backs. Yaya and Fernandinho looked to cover Schweinsteiger and Kroos. This meant everyone had a man so everyone thought they were doing their job, the problem was Lahm was always free so continued to receive the ball. As soon as one of our six closed him down, their man became free, and Bayern's passing and control is such that they used this spare man extremely effectively and dominated the game.

Aguero was "discussing" this issue before he was subbed in the Munich game. I can't remember who but 2 players were a bit miffed he wasn't tracking runners.

But Aguero was making up for Dzeko's lack of movement and was tired.

I think this was masked by the formation debate. 442 isn't that bad if we'd had movement been aggressive from the front.

I suppose either way, be it the formation or the choice of dzeko not negredo. It wasn't a great night for pellegrini. (I don't like to say that though)

At least he's still thinking about us.

 

[sam-caddick]

negredo and aguero should have started... that is all

This.

Dzeko's workrate that day was a disgrace and you could tell Sergio was frustrated with him because he was the only striker dropping deep and trying to help the team.

It makes you think this is a similar situation as to what Mandzukic is to Bayern, he is very similar to Edin and you can see why Guardiola favours Muller up front using him as a false 9, his workrate is second to none and and he has plenty of goals and assists in him.

Edin is a top striker but I don't see him adapting his game to the workrate that Pellegrini requires from his teams, I don't see him lasting long if I am honest, let's hope he changes.

80% of a strikers work is made by being fed by team mates. The only time when this happened was when Silva & Milner went on. Then we got into the game. Bayern showed their real class when a team goes at them. A straight red card. We can go over there play attacking football from the word go & get a result.

Isn't it Muller? Whose this Mueller chap?

It's either Müller or Mueller.

The 'e' is used to replace the umlaut in languages that do not use it, such as English.
