Not sure why this match has become the proof we have to switch things up in Europe. Yes, the CL pits us against champion sides who've learnt to win, with players that seize and frustrate chances better than middling Premier League sides. But Bayern aren't different class to City who we just held out at the Etihad.
Toss Jesus in for his quick feet up front given how good he was yesterday. Give Kiwior a break in favour of Tomiyasu as well, but leave the rest of the selection alone. We're impaired either way with both Saka and Martinelli half-injured and half out of form, but still needing to start.
Barring our two very costly sequences of errors, we had decent control in this match. We drew rather than lost and outdid Bayern on the numbers. To read the press you'd think one of our players had died.
Our chance to get out of this tie alive will come from cutting out the nerves, and varying the approach we've used all season—simple and familiar. It'll be hard because Tuchel will rest key players again and throw everything at us.
