With a lot of countre-attacks expected against us from both teams, I think the slow reaction of Boateng on 1 on 1 situations and chasing back/sprints can be something which can cost us a game.

Easier said than done. Who do you bench if you reintroduce Pavard, Thiago or Goretzka?

How many times do you think the commentators will mention Bayern's high defence line during tonight's match?

Hehe, I guess Goretzka. But to be honest, I think this is how things will remain against Manchester City although I would rather see Pavard as our starting RB than Kimmich. The German did his job against Chelsea well and against Barcelona brilliantly.
Flick will have to make a decision just as he made with Perišić starting over Coman last night.

That goal which Kimmich scored and Davies assisted only shows how Kimmich can't live and breathe on the pitch without being around 16m box or 20-25 meters away in center area. That's what I have noticed against Chelsea, in few occassions in Munich he looked like he was playing CM and dictating game and not RB, really out of position.

What do you propose we do with Thiago and Goretzka? If Kimmich is moved to MF, one of them has to go back to the bench (and I think it's preposterous to even consider doing that).

Funnily enough, if Pavard has to start at RB, IMO Kimmich should be on the bench.

Here’s the deal: our defense was shaky with Pavard as well, against teams even much worse than Barca...

We managed to pull clean sheets with team effort and tactics though... So here’s what to do...

Yes, Süle is not my ideal CB (although I'll give him another chance to convince me under Flick). The issue is our squad is what it is, and we have Shitty (or Lyon) coming up and we have to do whatever we can to ameliorate that deficiency.

Imagine if people were being half as critical on Pavard as they have been on Kimmich lol. Unbelievable double standards. The RB position has never been better this season.

This is the problems which (I was waitng for so long) a great club with competition for places should expect!
The Goretzka-Kimmich connection was working really fine for almost 2 months, so I guess I would bet on them.

Well, Perisic delivered when it mattered, not on 5-2. Not trying to undervalue Coutinho's game yesterday, but Perisic as a starter is a must.

Thiago hands down

Every time someone like Sterling gets anywhere near the box I reckon

TBH we were caught more than once.
We need to be very careful.
We may say a lot of long passes over our attacking full backs.
We can be slaughtered easily

Say*
See.

Really, I was very worried in the first half.
Both davies and Josh were caught on one foot... in fact the own goal was the result of such errors.
Against City the RB whoever he is has to stay down as much as he can.
We have to be intelligent ... Anyways I believe that Flick knows what he is doing, therefore I trust him.

Here’s a crazy thought: Boateng could also be replaced by Pavard.

It seems many agree Süle should start ahead of him, but realistically do any of you think it will happen?
