    They were amazing. Boring at times as they could be tedious but they had one thing all other tika taka teams lack.

    Lionel Messi.

    This Bayern side don't need Messi. A striker in the mould of Etoo would be more than enough.

    It's like trying to be a super counter attacking team with Ashley Young and Mata instead of Ronaldo etc etc..

    What's this slagging of Pep?

    I heard from a reputable source that's he's just like Giggs <ok>

    I agree with you and that's why I like Rodgers, he has completely developed our game and we counter attack and go forward with pace, making us the most exciting team to watch this season.

    Tbf UIR you were being a little obvious with the rod lol..

    And as Astro pointed out it kinda wasn't making sense since BR did exactly what you ask of a manager and was pragmatic enough to try it, see it didn't work with our squad and come up with something that does.

    Otherwise you were getting agreement that slavishly following one way match after match when it doesn't work is not good management...

    Do Robben and Ribery actually ever do anything? Whenever I have seen them play for Bayern or their countries they never produce anything that would warrant the hype.

    They try and often succeed in getting players sent off.

    Both have made great careers doing just that at the very highest level.

    I think we all saw it believe it or not when United played them..all you needed was the pace to counter and the skill to finish...

    Real should have scored 3 in the first leg too.
