ljkeane Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Well that wasn’t great. We’re a bit fortunate the usually reliable Fabianski had an off day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mme Erzulie Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Filthy stats, making it look like we were clearly the better team and deserved the win by a good margin. I'm glad West Ham came out and played. It makes the game more entertaining. They were lucky to score with their first two shots on goal, though. We were a bit off the pace, but still just kept grinding West Ham down. They never looked likely to hold out. The belief, discipline and hunger in this team are fantastic to witness. Must be so easy/tempting to take your foot off the gas at this point. Gini had a great game, as did Trent (although Felipe had him on toast a few times). Keita was disappointing, but I still think he'll come good. Ox looked fantastic when he came on. Pretty much all of his contributions were creative and dangerous. Shooting, passing and crossing all on point. Too many unforced giveaways all around, but I trust Klopp to iron that out. Some of the one-touch passing was bordering on sublime in this game. I reckon we're a week or two away from hitting our spring form, and then I don't envy any team going up against us, in Europe or at home. What a team. What a season. Incredible to witness.

The referees using it, OTOH, have been quite poor. Yep, as I said in the last thread the main thing VAR has shown is actually how terrible the umpires are.

Soylent Brown Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 This is a very different Bayern to the one that turned up at Anfield last year. They've started well and look dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Bayern are playing a more expansive game than at Anfield last year because Chelsea are nowhere near as good as Liverpool. They had come for a 0-0 draw and that's what they got but ended up getting schooled anyway at home. Bayern had the better of that half. I'm wondering if it would have been better to put Kimmich at RB in this game rather than midfield. Then you could have Pavard and Boateng at CB and Alaba at LB. Right now Bayern's fullbacks are offering exactly zero going forward. Also, Napoli in front against Barca who have been dire. It's just been turgid rotation of the ball with no threat.

Philokles Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Davies’ recovery speed is so useful in these high pressure games where the opponent sets up to counter. I can understand playing Kimmich at RB but would leave Pavard or Boateng out in that case. Six CL goals for Gnabry this season, all in London. Some lovely interplay with Lewandowski for his two tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had come for a 0-0 draw and that's what they got but ended up getting schooled anyway at home. That and the difference between Kovac and Flick. Kovac had more of defensive foundation with quick counters playing style. Flick is back to van Gaal and Guardiola playing wise. Putting a stronger emphasis on dominance/posession. Result is, Bayern are bit more enjoyable to watch again and creating more, while having lost a bit of solidity on the back end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consigliere Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Reports that Lewandowski will be out for 4 weeks with a knee injury. Probably not going to help Chelsea but will be a big boost to Leipzig's and Dortmund's title bids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
