daredevil This is a different Bayern to the one we faced last season. Kompany loves playing a super highline, we saw how he refused to change even managing a team with limited resources like Burnley. Bayern are good going forward but are poor defensively. Kim looks dodgy and Upamecano is an accident waiting to happen although I must admit he looks top class sometimes.
Tuchel did a number on Arteta last season. He completely shut down our right hand side knowing fully well our left side posed no danger. Bayern also felt comfortable to push up in the 2nd half and get their goal as we posed no danger at all on the break. That match exposed our weaknesses going forward and I thought it would be an eye opener to our recruitment team. We needed two forward players with pace, dribbling skills and an eye for goal coming into this season, but instead we got another LB and a midfielder. Serious investment in the forward line would have had greater effect on this team IMO.
Unfortunately I am not confident they'll address our shortcomings in the forward line this summer. Injuries will be used as the excuse completely ignoring the fact that our attack looked weak even when our forwards were fit. Nwaneri gives me hope though.
