Don't see Bayern winning this one even without their key defender out I don't think Bayern will cause pool too much trouble.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
The previous meeting was in the semi-final of the then EC in 1981. After a 0-0 draw at Anfield Bayern, in confident mood, printed flyers with directions to the stadium in Paris for the final. They gave them out to their fans ahead of the second leg in Munich. According to Graeme Souness it was the only time the LFC coaching staff, in that era, told a player to man mark someone (Sammy Lee on Paul Breitner). The game finished 1-1.
No Goretzka is a blow for Bayern.
Zero good options from the bench.
Is Ribery out of form?
His time on the top level is over.
Is that Gnabry as in that clown that was at Arsenal for a while?
He is surprisingly good now.
I reckon it will be 5-0 to Liverpool.
Neuer (c)
Kimmich, Süle, Hummels, Alaba
Martínez, Thiago
Gnabry, James, Coman
Lewandowski
Surprised that Leon Goretzka is not playing. What happened to Thomas Müller? Why is he not even on the bench? Sad to see that the Ribery and Robben era is well truly over. Come on Bayern München get a draw at least please. Can't have Liverpool's confidence going into the weekend.

Have you been watching them play this season .. ?
Goretzka is injured, Müller suspended.
Müller is suspended, and I think Goretzka is injured.
Well I'll be. Thought he was a no hope.
I think Lyon will shock Barca. Barca's away form in Europe has been appalling, not to mention their sub-par away form domestically as well. No doubt that they would turn it around at home.
Yeah, he's actually pretty good when played in the right position and in a decent team.
Would be nice to see a Depay and Fekir brace.
I rate both Martinez and James higher than him in DM, so not a blow for the first 11, but shit not to have him on the bench. The bench is a sorry joke.
Hoping for Bayern to at least get a score draw but not really expecting it.
It would be very pleasing to see Klopp go out against Bayern.
93rd minute winner from Sanches
How do Bayern line up? I'm clueless with German football.
That bench is indeed horrible. No Goretzka, Boateng, Robben, Tolisso or Müller is hurting Bayern.
Neuer
Kimmich, Süle, Hummels, Alaba
Martínez, Thiago
Gnabry, James, Coman
Lewandowski
On paper, it looks like a good bayern team. Full of quality, I think we need to hit them fast from the off. Feck knows how this game will pan out.
Its going to be pool smashing Bayern or a another dodgy goal from pool to win.
My prediction is 2-1 for Lyon.
Feels like the first time in this whole decade that we go as a clear underdog into a cl knockout game (even against Barca and Real it was always close to 50:50).
Well, lets see if we can prove everyone wrong.

Lyon 1-3 Barcelona
Liverpool 3-2 Bayern Munich
I get what people are saying about Barcelona away from home, but I just reckon they'll do it tonight.
Liverpool 3-2 Bayern Munich
I get what people are saying about Barcelona away from home, but I just reckon they'll do it tonight.Liverpool will close the tie tonight, easy 3-0 win.
This is starting to be look us v PSG. Way too many are completely writing off Bayern.
VVD is suspended is he not?
Fabinho is going to have the game of his career tonight, and Liverpool will destroy Bayern by an unimaginable scoreline.
Feel for Bayern.
Poor, poor Bayern.

This Liverpool side will prove too strong for a severely weakened Bayern team living on past merits. It's the time of the dipper, don't know you.
Poor, poor Bayern Munich.
We’ll struggle without Van Dijk
Neuer, Thiago and Lewandowski masterclass incoming
Expecting it from the latter two. Honestly, I just want an exciting game.
I do hate this suspension nonsense, though. A suspension should only be in place for a red card (& this is something I've felt for years, not just because VVD is out... But that definitely plays part in me bringing it up

Well Van Djik should be suspended anyway (and liverpool probably going out in the groups) because he should blatantly have been sent off vs Napoli!
Surprised Lyon haven't gone in with a similar set up to the one that gave City problems.
