Mueller hits out at City strikers

[Josh Blue]

Muller is a frikkin mug.....nothing moves faster
than someone beating a german to a spare deckchair
and once you get one then you don't get up

You're cool.

If our strikers didn't do enough chasing/harrying ,that's down to the manager isn't it? If he wanted them to run around pressing the defenders or midfield players they would do.If they don't the manager should be either screaming at them to up their game or changing the players.

And once he has seen that they don't do want he asks of them he would presumably not pick them for other games until they get their act together.

Did he really have to say that? Just comes across as an arrogant RAG. Good job he's has talent because he has a face likes a smacked arse (seems the rule of being in the bayern team).

Wish he played for us.

Negredo should have started, he would have pressed much more aggressively. Would have benefited from playing an extra midfielder as well probably, but Pellegrini has his system. Bayern were class either way, but Dzeko and Aguero couldn't get near them and eventually stopped trying. Anyway, back to the spelling competition.

I suspect if Negredo had pressed much more aggressively, he'd just have got knackered faster. The problem doesn't appear to be that our attackers didn't run around enough, but that we had two attackers at all instead of another midfielder. And if they were hanging around at the half-way line, isn't it possible Pellegrini told them to stay up - after all, if he'd wanted more players in midfield, there were better options than Aguero or Dzeko for the role.

If those two plus Yaya Toure, put in the effort that Robben Ribery & Muller did to close the ball down & then kept hold of it with the same attitude, then we wouldn't need the extra midfielder (& one extra wouldn't have been enough anyway, we would have needed three more to match them). We could have pushed them back and matched them man for man, but they worked harder and teated the ball with more respect & Muller is right in that.

But we also needed Joe Hart to have the bottle to pass the ball out under pressure & try to playfootball rather than booting it to Bayern & basically waving the white flag that their tactics had won. Pathetic.

Our strikers plus Yaya needed to work like their midfielders in order for the plan to work though. They didn't and they wont, that three together will not do it to the required level. We may be able to get away with one striker (with a rocket up his arse) plus Yaya (with a rocket up his arse) but imo either Pellegrini adapts his system to take on Guardiola or we get beaten easilly again 100 times out of 100.

Change the managers around & Guardiola would make huge changes for the rematch. We may still lose then as well, but it would be much much closer & the following season when we had adapted fully, imo we would beat them.

We have been given a lesson & Muller is teaching us some more. Learn from it, do it, then stick it up their arses.

I agree with the first bit - if we'd pressed harder and better, we could possibly have got away with playing two upfront (although I still think playing Navas as an out-and-out winger was wrong from the off). And to some extent about Hart. But to be fair, for a keeper to play out from the back, he also needs defenders who want the ball all the time, and both Kompany and Nastasic went missing on that front - neither of them were prepared to make themselves available and both, frankly, looked shit scared of having the ball because of how well Bayern pressed. Same applied to most of the team, prime example being the third goal - however poor it was by Fernandinho, there wasn't a single player who wanted to take the ball of him, the body language of the players around him seemed to scream "anyone but me". That's why it was such a breath of fresh air when Silva came on and did actually want the ball all the time, no matter how tightly he was being marked.

Agree with him.

Our work rate from back to front was appaling that night.
