That worries me even more. Following your man leads to the team getting out of shape. The likes of Robben and Ribery like to move right across the pitch on and off the ball. We could end up with the Barcelona Carousel situation if players try to stick to a man. They have to zone and hand off.
Optimistic in me says 2-2, pessimist says 4-1, realist says 1-0.
Thing of it is, even if Bayern do score first, it doesn't change anything in terms of gameplan; we're chasing a goal either way.
Neither do a lot on here to be fair. Depending on how Bayern's fullbacks play it could be a very good move by Guardiola, and I have a horrible feeling it's going to look that way.
You are right, he has picked a very strong team.
Down to the players now to produce the result.
Nerves now starting to really sink in
Hopefully Bayern go ultra gung ho, and leave oodles of space.
I have no confidence in Welbeck, and am going to keep saying so, because the more I whinge, the more likely he'll prove me wrong.
Delightfully surprised with the line up and not at all sute how it will set itself up!
Does anyone know if any of our fullbacks have massive throw ins?
My eyes are burning, is it a good sign?
Anybody else hear the sharpening of knives when they entered this thread?
I'm scared.
Feck this is a big occasion isn't it? You can really sense it. Decent team out there, don't have any complaints really. I assume Rafael is injured and that's why he wasn't listening.
Probably Eye AIDS. RIP

I have a feeling he's going to score!
Fellaini can tackle, puts his man under pressure and tracks back, has a forward pass in him and is half decent when he's being pressed. He's not the greatest midfielder but he's light years ahead of Fletcher.
Yes.
Very different to the first game when I was relaxed cause I wasn't expecting anything good. Now though...
I personally think Smalling is in as a set-piece threat..something which Rio doesn't really offer (does he even go up for them?)
Could someone stream me up if they have a decent definition one on the go? Thank you please.
Lineup is good. Bayern have a very attacking setup so hopefully we can exploit that on the counter.
If I am being picky I would say Nani should be on the bench instead of Young but that's mainly because Young is shit rather than Nani being someone we need.

How did Young still get on the bench over Nani. Thats his time over here done then
Because the world outside of RedCafe exists.
The first game has given us hope. And that is a dangerous thing
Gary Neville is a red!
Shivers every time I see those two goals go in, what moments they were.
iAIDS? Bound to be an app for that
A smart remark does not answer a question!
Yes but then we'll probably push forward even more, exposing ourselves and thus giving Bayern enough space to score again and again. It'a a trap we've often fallen victim to over the past years.
Pep really regards us as a huge club and seems to adore us. Hope one day we can see him here, would be amazing
We are foooked.
Gary Neville is a red!
Well perhaps he'd like to show some bias towards us for a change.
Kroos, Gotze and Muller in midfield. Very good going forward, but surely these three can be got at.
He's brilliant on the last man, which is where he'll be...his finishing is the issue, I'm confident that if we get the chances though someone will take themI have no confidence in Welbeck, and am going to keep saying so, because the more I whinge, the more likely he'll prove me wrong.
feckin hell, this guardiola fecker is a shit manager eh? He keeps saying they're gonna try this and try that.
Because we are lol.
Guardiola to fall on his knees after we beat them 4-0 and shout:
"You were the wrong one Moyes! It was said you are a dinosaur coach, not a football genius! Why did Fergie love you!!!?"
To which Moyes whispers:
"You underestimate my power!"
