Not that Messi or any other attacker looked much better in these kind of games. He was disconnected from the midfield and had no one to play with. Not that he had a great day himself, but Bayern knew that all they have to do is cover him well and we are dead in attack.

How would have ended this game without him? Much worse imo.

Rightfully so. Made things much easier for Bayern.

What can you expect against one of Europe's best clubs that is a well-oiled machine under club's current conditions? Deserved result.

He was lively in his first 10 minutes, but slowed down to the tempo of the rest of the team after that. Classy on the ball though and a much better footballer than the other options.

Very british against Lewandowski. Enough for a foul outside the box, but not enough for a penalty. All in all he is doing great today and I hope he keeps it up.

United losing against Young Boys in Wankdorf :lol:

Could have betted on that line-up.

Has it ever worked out though when Barca tried to play defensive football? If Koeman doesn't want to play completely unproven players on that level he is more or less forced to play 3-5-2 as there aren't much options available, which is a pity as Bayern's backline is not that solid and should...

We can downplay it as he has missed his penalty badly. :boss:

Well, there were already some rumours that Liverpool and Barca will be after him in the winter market. Bayern apparently interested too. RBS wants 30M for him, but his price could rise if he plays a great group stage.

Adeyemi winning his third penalty tonight and all of them in one half lol could be a record?! RBS missing two penalties. Sevilla are lucky that it is just 0-1.

He's not on the squad list for tonight's game. Maybe he'll make it into the squad for the game against Granada.

Should've kept him. At least he could dribble past some players and create chances for Memphis.

"David Alaba once told me: 'My dream is still to play in Barcelona one day." Then I said to him:' Do you want to negotiate with the president or with the insolvency administrator? "" reported Hoene?. Time to teach those Germans a lesson that Barca isn't dead yet.

Yeah, Luuk De Jong surely was his first option in knowledge that Griezmann will leave too.

Of course Koeman is pissed. They've let Messi (for known and reasonable reasons) go and loaned Griezmann back to Atletico on the last day of the transfer market with no time to get a decent replacement. Not really a fan of the French but it is just bad business from a sporting perspective if you...

Those international breaks are annoying as fuck.

So what's the plan with him? Replacing Busquets with FDJ and playing Pedri & Olmo as CMs? Have nothing against Olmo, but don't think he'll fit in. Club should know by now that going after (expensive) players that doesn't really fit into the preferred system end up being a disappointment.
