Really dumb, perhaps even arrogant game plan. We struggle mightily against teams that set up two banks of four in their final third. Somehow Bayern feel offering us space to run in behind instead is a better idea. :lol:
We're going to win.
Umtiti is asymptomatic, is in good health and is isolating at home. He didn't travel with the Champions League squad to Lisbon because of an injury. [fcb]
No need to panic.
Not a case of focusing on one or the other. Regardless of what the formation is on paper we will likely be defending in two banks of four. In the case of playing Griezmann he would have to drop off into midfield when Bayern have possession and cover as the 4th man. I would simply rather have a...
I sympathise with Setien. He has no great options. This is one of the better lineups he could have gone with.
Leo and Luis will not defend one bit so as well pack the midfield with energetic players like De Jong, Roberto and Vidal. Vidal and Roberto can take turns making forward runs to...
I haven't brought up Valverde's name in weeks. Are you still going on about this? Everything that needs to be said from both sides about that topic has been said already ad nausem.
Now if you don't mind, we have the biggest match of the season in 5 hours. You'll have the next month to moan to...
To be fair we haven't overpaid for a CB since Chygrynskiy. Mina has probably been the biggest flop since then, but we flipped him to Everton for a very good profit in the end.
Same miserable twits with their heads hanging down in defeat and leaving the bed wet before even one minute of football has been played.
Feel that many users on this forum are masochists that get off on "predicting" our failures and moaning about it afterwards like it some sort of badge of...
The closer we get to the match the more confident I am. The players will summon the spirits of Valverde and Neymar and put Bayern to the sword.

World class and a top attacker already. He showed as much when he came on. I expect him to peak between 23-26. No way to tell if he can maintain longevity this early on.
Jorge Mendes has offered Cristiano Ronaldo to multiple clubs, including Barcelona. The former Madrid man would be willing to accept a new challenge in his career. [bbc sport via sport]
