Team sucks pretty bad. Can't blame the coach too much. Doubt even Pep would win today with this squad. Bayern is superior in every single department. GK, Defence, Midfield, Attack, Physique, Mentality. It's not even fecking close.
He had a vastly different squad compared to Koeman. Compared to now, we had a pretty good team back then with a younger Messi although we were getting shat on in Europe. The 2 periods are incomparable and worse we're broke now.
Would take a hard pass on Xavi. Club needs to go in a new direction. As far away as possible from the old style, old culture, old way of playing. Trying to resurrect whatever we did years ago won't work. Just my opinion.
Shouldn't have started. Not mobile enough. Bayern knew that too that's why they pressed so high up. Don't think our players are used to playing with a 'target man' either.
We should be cautious but we shouldn't let them peg us back too deep and for too long either. We're not built like a Athletico or Juve to sustain waves of attacks.
Can't wait for this game. Should give us a good idea of how we'll look this season, whether we can compete for titles etc. I think Luuk De Jong could start up front with Depay playing just off of him.
Would like to see him take more shots/attack goal a bit more often. Things are different now, we don't have a MSN type attack anymore so the midfield has to step up with more goals. Can't expect Depay alone to win games.
Asensio has some goals in him.
In terms of attacking options, Barca doesn't come anywhere close to what Madrid has at the moment. There's valid reasons for that ofc. Not trying to be captain obvious. Just making a point.
