I never thought I'd see a more dominant away performance then the one Barca gave against us in the first half of our 2-2 draw a couple of years back, but Bayern were absolutely untouchable for 80 minutes of this game and could easily have scored a lot more goals. 8)

Still think they can be vulnerable at the back - especially because of the way they insist on trying to play it out - but the trouble most sides have is getting near enough to their goal often enough to put them under sufficient pressure to cause a mistake, because you're often spending too much time trying to stop Bayern doing it to your team instead! :shock:

City were all over the place, Toure and £30mildinho were completely overrun and Joe Hart looks worse with each passing game.

Bayern look hard as nails, with options all over the shop.

Indeed. :lol:

Selling this guy was one of Wenger's better decisions over the last few years.

They are like Barcelona under Pep but with more physicality and variations to their play. Frightening!

To think they will add Lewandowski to that squad next summer as well.
