Bayern 0-2 Arsenal (Teta Luck remontada word to @Makingtrax )

We were the better team that half but nothing to show for it.

The good thing is we have only clutch as a sub Trossard and CL Jesus to come off the bench.

 

[OnlyOne]

We’ve not been bad at, commendable. We’d get smashed in the semis if we get through tho.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Even if we win this. We dont have the "big situation"-players. Our jordan so to speak. Maybe too young a team?

Too inexperienced they need 2-3 years playing in this to have decent Chance if we manage to get into semi final today's this great start

 

[db10_therza]

Feel like if we're getting anything tonight, it's going to come off from Martinelli. He was lively and got into good positions in/around the box.

His movement has been very good tonight. Shame his left foot is so bad should have done better with that chance.

 

[Oxeki]

Not a bad first half. But at this level "not bad" is not good enough.

 

[Ifly_Gooner]

Tomi has coped up pretty well vs Sane after initial couple of scares.

I blv Martinelli has started to help out more as the half progressed.

 

[Sniper Mik]

Maybe Bayern trying to tire us out and go strong in the 2nd half like Villa

 

[Clrnc]

Tomi has coped up pretty well vs Sane after initial couple of scares.

He's absolute quality. Have Salah in his pocket and now Sane. 1v1 he's tough to get past. Just gotta stay fit

 

[Heavy Duty Rom]

Good up until the final third. Front three showing no real quality, no combination play. Felt Ødegaard should have passed back to Rice instead of going wide to Kai.

 

[grange]

I can't watch tonight how are we doing?

Bayern were getting behind us with ease to start but then we grew into the game and started dominating the latter 20 minutes or more. Our chances were directly at the keeper or take too long to develop to put any more pressure on them outside of just keeping the ball, unfortunately.

 

[Legend14]

Evens at HT. We still have a chance. I feel we need a Partey masterclass in midfield but it's risky with the effort Jorgi is putting in. We have no pace or ball carriers and the best solution seems to be Trossard for Kai which takes away our out-ball. No idea what we do but we need to win this within 90 minutes

The younger Partey would make a difference; this ancient version may be slower than Jorginho in defense.

 

[MikeVinna]

Martinelli had more time than he thought. Maybe couldve taken a touch. Or at least get his right foot on it.

What I dont get is why he hasnt once got around the outside of Kimmich in the 1v1 situations?

 

[Riou]

Even if we win this. We dont have the "big situation"-players. Our jordan so to speak.

 

[Game Over]

Much more mature performance than last week

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Tomi look shaky he finished half well but too afraid of Sane.

 

[Buhry]

We lack quality upfront. This looks like Kane will decide. It’s game like this our lack of quality striker stares in your face.

Could easily be the same story as Villa, we play decent for a while but when our forwards can't do anything useful when they get in good positions or waste good chances like Martinelli did it's a good chance they'll score and we won't be able to respond. You can't be as wasteful as our attackers are at times and expect to win at the highest level. Also bayerns have forwards that can create something out of nothing.

 

[Menard]

This is the exact game plan Chelsea are gonna hit us with the too, 3 super narrow forwards stacked right on top of 3 midfielders, letting our CBs pass it among each other

 

[Rasmi]

Jesus for Saka should be the first sub if this continues. But it will be for Martinelli in the end

Lool you are crazy. Saka being subbed means giving up on the tie

 

[2Smokeyy]

Would love a Partey dagger and him to bring out his bottle to celebrate.

 

[Thrice]

He's absolute quality. Have Salah in his pocket and now Sane. 1v1 he's tough to get past. Just gotta stay fit

As a pure defender he's a machine. Going forward he lacks a bit, but we can compensate.
