  1. we really cant complain here. we have been wasteful but so have they.
  2. barkley is absolutely useless. damn unlucky. both teams with an abundance of almost chances.
  3. we are hopelessly inferior in terms of pace esp alonso vs coman but at least Giroud is showing Boateng who is boss and bullying him around.
  4. Damn.... seeing those lineups this is not gonna end well...we will be needing a miracle today. Bayern will surely play on the counter.
  5. I have always liked Giroud and if you ignore his lack of pace and that he is not per se a decent finisher. He is not a no.1 striker which is probably why Arsenal who wanted him to be such hated him so much. If you accept that you can only love him. He always works hard for the team he goes where it hurts most, puts his body on the line. He is also technically quite astute his layoffs are always Inch perfect. That strike vs Lloris surprised me cos that was an incredibly hard skill he had little to no time, the ball was bouncing awkwardly and he still struck it perfectly into the only place he could score from that position. He will relish the challenge of playing against the physically very similarly built Boateng. I hope he will have a blast again but surely he will give it his all.
  6. so coming. westham would have beaten pool today if their keeper would not hav ehsit his pants and they are still getting lucky time and time and time again when playing like shit
  7. as shit as Kepa was, he never was as shit as Flappihanski in this game.
  8. and he obviously will turn to prime casillas when playing us.
  9. fabianski gifts them a goal again. horrible. west ham really did themselves rpoud here apart from their shitty keeper.
  10. they broke it tho, this is maybe what she means. they beat us in 2008 in that horrible scolari time to end the record
  11. unexpected goal from fornalis with his calf. too early i fear tho, bindippers have plenty oftimeto turn it around.
  12. iirc correctly no team has even come close to having this solid a defence. About the home record we still can take care of that ourselves when we go to Anfield. Bring the 2004 Mourinho tactics^^ I still think as they have been waiting for that league title for ages now their intensity will drop off and they will eventually lose a match
  13. I think the 15 goals conceded is one for the ages.
  14. This is beautiful....seeing us on top <3
  15. Goretzka out is huge. They lose a physical presence, goal threat and organizer in midfield. Tolisso and Thiago have not harmonized that good in midfield so far. They have pace and quick feet all over the place but they lack strength and height, if they field the same XI like vs Paderborn which I think is probable bar maybe Müller for Coutinho they will not have an outfield player above 6ft which might give us a slight advantage on set pieces. Also Giroud will be vital. He should be able to secure tons of balls with Alaba and Kimmich playing CB. The other possibility is that they roll out Boateng to match Giroud's power but he is a a bit of a liability. I wish we would have Pulisic and RLC for this game cos they would cut right thorugh that midfield. I fear we are gonna see Barkley again after his ok performance on the weekend. but it will be risky going for an almost pace-less line-up vs such a fleet-footed side so I am leaning towards Willian over Barks.
  16. I gave Every Bayern fan (so about 50% of all Germans) so much stick in that glorious night In Munich we better fuckin win this. not optimistic tho. They are known to bottle big matches but they are just so much better than us individually in about every position on the field that I just can’t see us getting anything better than a lucky draw here. I just hope it won’t be embarrassing .
  17. What a difference Giroud and Alonso make. They are both not quick but they know how to strike a ball and risk a shot. Result we score from two half chances. Tammy in the other hand fails to score from 3 yards. Iberisch Lamps would have started Giroud earlier. Epic win. Pile the pressure on spurs and the others. At 88mins I was thinking wow a cleansheet with Caballero and then he fails to keep that Murmel out. Really should do better at his near post. Anyway. I have a feeling we will see 3 at the back vs Bayern again and kante out could be a blessing in disguise given how coherent we look with mount Jorginho kovacic
  18. Son and Kane our does not really make a difference. The team manUre fielded on Mon was a pile of shit as well. We tore their Defence to shreds, created a gazillion chances like we always do and then almost on purpose somehow miss them all. As long as we are this wasteful every team in the world can beat us. It started under Conte again, then under Sarri and now we are at our worst in terms of conversion. Our attack and Defence are average at best and out goalies and centeforwards are average and out of form. No wonder we are leaking goals and scoring none. The failed Jan transfer window cost us top4 And probably top 5 as well.
  19. we could have and still can easily afford haaland and not even our board is stupid enough to pass up on him. But there is no way he will ever chose us and that was already the case before Dortmund snapped him. Dortmund was always meant to be his stepstone to further his development.
  20. what a shot, that must have been like 120kmh. in terms of being this high level at such a young age, i can only think of Mbappe himself right there.
  21. Thats Haaland, he has basically the same physical and technical attributes as Tammy but yet Tamy would have probably somehow managed to dive past that rebound. Thats the difference in mental strength to handle this sort of pressure and focus
  22. it was so coming. every single one here predicted it. i am out
  23. the ref is such a disgusting piece of shit what a corrupted asshole
