He doesn't control his area like German keepers we know do. Like Neuer Lehmann Kahn
Champions League Quarter Finals | Chelsea vs Real (Tue) | Bayern vs City (Wed)

- Start date
That's the competition though Bayern we're favourites
If you're going to sack a manager with a 75% win ration who's still fighting for all the cups there's no excuse
It is, for Bayern
Partly down to City being defensively quite brilliant.
Musiala has been awful.
In fairness yes
Almost from Sané
City looking annoyingly solid.
If Bayern can keep it within 1 I think they'll do it in Munich.

There are a lot of holes in his skill set
Also Bayern seem to have no hustle on the counter. So slow to get players forward.
Bayern Munchen are dominant in the game. ManCity are trying to go for counterattacks. I do see goals for this Bayern Munchen team in 2nd half.
I mean he’s 28 years old now. We let him go when he was 22. He wasn’t this good when we let him go. He wasn’t even this good Bournemouth let him go. Pep has improved him a lot. We’ve had multiple chances to sign him back and chosen not to. He’s incredible though. Chuffed for him.
He’s fecking overrated.
When was there a true counter situation in this game? Both teams weren't all out attacking before the goal and City certainly was not afterwards.
Unpopular opinion, he's at least as good Casemiro.
Which game?
Demoted in late June, stripped of all titles and the Dhabis forced to sell to Ricky Hatton!?
Yeah, disappointing half from him. Small margins, he could have had a goal had it not been for an amazing peice of defending by Ruben Diaz
Okay, so I'm not hallucinating then. Every time Davies is on the ball, someone loudly screeches 'Oh Canada'.
Not much in it so far but Bayern look blunt in attack despite all the good work they do getting up around the City area.
He is studying the game for next week’s execution.
Give me reports on Benfica - Inter please.
A lot of tippy tappy nonsense, not much else.
Musiala overrated ? a bit harsh on such a young Player
also Rodri and Stones are keeping Musiala out of the Game

He’s a little bit better, imo.
Hipster watch: Benfica vs Inter is scoreless
Ooh the BDL wont like that
Its only his 2nd start after an injury, give him a rest
Benfica + Inter > Bayern + City
Who's being killed?
I think so too but not much in it.
Missing Choupo at the front and Neuer at the back.
Neuer has at least 10 cm longer reach than Sommer.

Akanji and Ake had a very solid half. Grealish and Bernardo are working very hard off the ball for their team. Pep seems to have the defensive shape spot on for this one. Rodri's goal was class. Lots of work to be done for Bayern. Nevertheless, Their ability at one touch football and the vertically of their game can be devastating. Good half of football.
When there are no counter attacks because everybody is too fast 
Bayern at home will not be the same beast we are watching tonight.
Absolutely phenomenal goal by Rodri! What the hell?
Also went with the wrong hand.
I think Haaland should be further up the pitch when they are pressing. He drops too deep which allows Bayern more time on the ball to find a solution. It seems they are focusing on closing passing lanes but the setup allows Bayern to circumvent it.
Bayern is missing a striker and has trouble overloading into/around the box. They get up to the final third but cannot penetrate.
Well, one is a striker and the other is a SS/RW. Bayern truly shot themselves in the foot by not buying a proper CF post Lewandowski. Mane is not a striker either nor is Müller. It doesn't matter how many coaches try it, within 15 minutes it's clear as say no need to persist for months.
He is extremely one footed and a bit slow decision wise if the opportunity to use his left doesn't open up
You should have seen him as a teenager at Schalke. He was ferocious. Just drove against players with frightening speed. Now he tries to hard to be elegant and shys away from challenges. He doesn't seem to care about football, if he can dominate he will but he won't take the game by the scruff of its neck. Sad, his skill set overlaps with Robbens 90 % but the mentality is the opposite.
Well, he has 15 years experience of UCL winning it twice and he is known to be one of the smartest players in the world at interpreting space so it's just smart to pick his brain. Might make him feel important too. Pep did the same with Xabi Alonso and Lahm back in the day.
Yeah, Dortmund, RBL, Leverkusen, Kaiserslautern fans will be livid.
