Ronaldo Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 The Bundesliga consistently makes the Premier League look like a complete fucking joke. Consistently in the last year perhaps. I think he's talking about more than just results here. It's more conducive to developing the national side, granted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Manchester City fans - should you be more competitive in the Champions League with the money you've spent? And how concerned are you by Joe Hart's form? Manchester United fans - how much do you think David Moyes needs to spend to transform your side into Champions League contenders? How typical of the Beeb to believe that the gap between the British clubs and Europe's elite can or should be closed by throwing more money at the problem Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 The offside count was 7-1 against City. When you consider Bayern's dominance of possession and territory, that says a lot about their organisation and intelligence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DebuchyAndTheBeast Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Barca are one dimensional but with Bayern pep can play good possession football or really effective counterattacking play. They can become one of the most complete and frightening footballing sides ever Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Bayern looked fucking excellent like. Really fun to watch. It reminded me that football is brilliant and reminded me that this Premier League season so far has been boring and last season was shit as well.

Aye just the 14 trophies in 4 years. Sigh. Barca tended to struggle when the centre of the pitch was packed and teams stayed compact. See the games vs Chelsea & Inter for reference They exploited the centre of the pitch when teams tried to pack it. Barcelona only had troubles when they just couldn't break defenses up because teams parked the bus under Guardiola. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Bayern have more width and physical menace than Barca did, that said until Lewandowski arrives next year they don't have a striker to match the rest of the squad yet, and they have no Messi, the goals should be much better distributed mind, can't see goal scoring being much of an issue.

Cronky Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Barca had a bit of a weakness in the air, in attack and defence. The opposition rarely had enough of the ball for it to make a difference. But with Bayern, it's hard to spot any weakness at all. They look the perfect combination of brains, organisation, flair and fitness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

See the games vs Chelsea & Inter for reference They beat Chelsea and as far as the Inter game goes the lack of Iniesta in both legs really hurt them..... but anyway to say they had obvious weaknesses is hilarious they won the CL twice under Pep.... Anyway its a bit too early to say Bayern has no weaknesses because they do and no team has parked the bus like they used to do against Barca. Every team alive was frightened to death of that Barca team, that is not the case with this Bayern yet and teams are far more open against them as of right now. Did Barca ever get the space afforded to Robben tonight? No. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you consider Bayern's dominance of possession and territory, that says a lot about their organisation and intelligence. The way their back line functioned was incredible. There were a large number of times when City were caught offside in situations where you wouldn't expect it to happen. Their back four operated like they had one brain.
