Cracking result that. Bayern might not be the force they were 4-5 years ago, but they are a very very good team and their home record is second to none. To go there and not only win but win pretty comfortably is a very impressive feat, especially given how it wasn’t even a great performance. All 4 English teams into quarters, it’s like mid 2000s all over. I’ll take any of the remaining 4 foreign teams in next round please.
Pleasing that we can casually dispatch Bayern when we were playing equally average as they were. We never left third gear.
Get in very nice controlled performance in that 2nd half PS Best thing about Bayern tonight was the fans banner " **** VAR : **** EUFA"
Shame about Robbo getting that daft yellow, but a good night - if very scrappy and loose play from both teams mostly. Didn't really look troubled at the back, which is our biggest strength again. Salah looks so much better when he actually passes and looks for others like he used to instead of trying to be the Egyptian Messi.
We didn't have another gear... let's not get all oh the rest of the game never happened. we did well enough after ht and Bayern never looked like scoring but vvd header killed them. once we were just playing it forward on break we were happy.
Agreed, really don’t want an English team, we play them every season at least twice. I want one of the foreign teams please. I’m calling either Barcelona or Juventus right now
Well that was nice. The only time I was concerned was the period of about 15 minutes were we kept winning the ball then giving it straight back to them. Getting the 1st goal was brilliant as they had to come out more leaving more space for our front three. Salah was not that good at times, but his pass for the 3rd goal was superb.
better than 50/50 chance if we are first team.out of pot. say city come.out first, we have 1/7 chance incoming out. ideally city v utd or something first draw and then we get Porto or ajax next
Salah is in third gear as was firmino and a number of others. No where near their best. So we won in third gear. The fact that 4th and 5th gear are currently broken is another matter ..
