A friend of mine who supports Bayern is saying the same thing. It is the biggest misconception I have ever seen.Awax wrote:We don't start strong, so we gotta survive the first 15-20 minutes to win this. And please.. not that high line again
For what it’s worth, Barca and Chelsea both had several offsides. Lyon had only one.Ed. wrote:About this high line, is it even working?
Isn't one of the points of the high line to catch the attackers off side every now and then?
I can't recall that happening even once vs Lyon. Every through ball or long ball seem to find an attacker onside and our defence then trying to catch up.
Can't have the same nonsense against Mbappe.

Truthfully, compared to the number of times they approached our area, they had very few big chances (though too many for my liking). That’s the thing with long balls... they very easily go wrong.

I feel it’s not wrong to be more risky in that regard when you have the best sweeper-keeper of all time, and it would be wrong to forget that 1) we kept a clean sheet yesterday, and 2) Barca only scored an unlucky own goal and a goal with unbelievable individual brilliance. Whatever defensive liabilities we have, they are consistently not leading to goals. Nevertheless, minimising the risk and the dependence on Neuer is not a bad thing. I just hate the narrative that better finishers automatically equals goals or that with a beaten defence, a non-goal is lucky. We have possibly the best damn goalkeeper of all time, he is part of the team and there is no reason why tactics should not also take him into account even if most teams ignore the GK (even the way we discuss formations excludes them).

The first 15 and the second half was dreadful at times, and we can't allow those moments of lack of focus vs PSG, doubt Mbappe would have hit the post. Too many misses offensively as well from Lewa, goretzka and müller.
We have to beat PSG, not just for us but for the sake of football.
As I said, I do think we need to minimise the risk and I mentioned how Lyon got past our pressing (which wasn’t very present anyway... energy saving?) because it’s a point that needs analysing.bbenno wrote:FCBayernMunchen wrote:Lyon took us apart with long balls yesterday.

True! But... PSG have Mbappe and Neymar who is in good form at the moment. We have to do something about the defense and the high line. If we can sort that out, while at the same time win the ball back high against them, then we should win.
I kind of lean towards this but it also feels like too many changes. I would be uncomfortable.MUTU wrote:

Thiago and Goretzka were exhausted and could barely play a simple pass. Thiago was trying, but he kept misplacing passes or losing possession. Goretzka was just ghost wandering around
And I wasn't expecting our defense to be so shaky. Luckily lot of stuff can happen during a football match and we also have world class atackers. But at this moment I have no clue how are we going to stop Neymar, Mbappe and Di Maria
