    Two good chances to get a shot on goal, but neither's taken. Clear corner not given, though.

    Great tackle by Sessegnon. Good to see that part of his game.

    2-1 Bayern. Muller. Rose heads a cross straight to Gnabry and his cross is turned onto the post, then in.

    We may as well play without FBs tonight because the pair of them have been ****ing roasted at every opportunity.

    Another woodwork hit from Bayern. Gazzaniga confounded by a Coutinho shot, but he does just enough to tip it onto the bar.

    Our defence is absolutely useless.... Not helped by lo Celso not covering well and both Dier and Sissoko having crap games.

    Neither are fit for purpose. KWP should have been out on loan before now. Keeping him at the club has done neither any favours.

    There's nobody in front of them. Whatever system we're playing isn't working and they're getting overloaded constantly.
    I'd be happy to see Eriksen subbed at half-time, Moura shifted right and Parrott introduced.
    Play with actual wingers in front of the fullbacks.

    You'd think that KWP was having a Sunday morning stroll as opposed to trying to impress his new boss.

    Yup, Said weeks/ months back we ruined KWP.

    Still, the pair are ****ing dreadful, getting roasted at every opportunity or failing to mark the wide men.

    FBs poor (one in decline, one not progressing) .
    Eriksen + GLC is a lightweight CM.

    Hes not good enough for a future at Spurs, I know he’s not had lots of games but it’s kinda obvious from what I’ve seen.

    RB and LB both needed with DoF Rose sold in Jan

    He's playing on the right of the three behind the striker, isn't he? Had some nice moments, but he's not doing his job defensively.

    Lo Celso doesn't seem to be the player I had previously thought he was.
    Such a shame.

    Yeah, we need a proper body up there. Mourinho's had us playing much more direct since he arrived but we haven't been doing it tonight as we have no presence up top. Eriksen's been a spare wheel at times, running around but barely involved, We need him dropped deeper to get play going and I'd take Lucas off for Parrott.

    Taking a weakened side to Bayern is a dangerous game and it could get very bad for us in the second half. That said, I'll take the embarrassment if it comes, there are players out there who need minutes and the result in this match makes no difference to our season.

    Given that this is a completely scratch team up against a nearly full strength Bayern, I wouldn't read too much into it.

    We're getting killed in too many areas to assess that much.

    I've been impressed with Sess and Foyth is just so composed on the ball it's a delight to watch. Both FBs simply not good enough, Dier and Sissoko lack the positional discipline to maintain any semblance of structure in the middle of the park, and our attack is far too lightweight to be effective. Most of our chances have come from crap Bayern defending.
