Bayern play with a ultra high line and presses hard which forces mistake in the buildup because we can't "get out". Only players who could exploit the backline were Alba and Semedo, two defenders LOL.
Who is responsible for the lack of outlets when all top teams have atleast two? The sporting department and not the coaches.
Pep would have lost the same way had he been coach with this squad 100%.
You can't do anything without good players, that is true. However, he had 2 players on the bench with some modicum of pace and intensity. Hell, even 3 if you count Dembele. The fact that these guys didn't see the grass at half time, after being demolished by Bayern in the first 45 minutes is on Setien. We would still be second best by some margin but the tactical decisions, by bringing the likes of Fati, Puig and Dembele would have been sound and yet, nothing.
