We're holding it tight, we're aggressive and first to the ball in most of the moves. Kovacic is just running our game, we have created our chances but didn't try enough to score.

I think our struggling spots are Barkley and Mount, we need Willian in the second half instead of Barkley, he is not the game. And then Pedro for Mount, we need the speed, we can hit them!

Boateng has his weaknesses, once we will have enough speed in our attack we can counter them and get closer to them. 

Little more focus at our wingbacks, we're stopping Gnabry and Coman were fairly, but we have to avoid corners. 

The animal is not that big, we can do it! COME ON CHELS!!!!!

Our midfield trio built two attacks and both time we looked like we could score. Their press is high and impressive but we need that mf buildup.

Giroud and Christensen so far our best players.

Bayern looks like a level or two better side but we are hanging in there. 1/4 and 0-0.

We improved as the half went on. Encouraging signs towards the interval. Hopefully we can build on that in the second half.

Bit of a lesson for large parts of that half but encouraging improvement in last 10 minutes. Sometimes they are just simply too good for us but some quality from us, especially through Kovacic.

Caballero again justifying his selection. Mount struggling against a phenomenally quick full back and Barkley just looks totally outclassed and out of his depth. Rudiger and Christensen looking good so far.

Despite his iffy form of late I'm thinking Willian would be a good idea. We need more pace on the break.

Need Willians pace and also his work off the ball. Barkley is being made to look very slow.

Kovacic is top class! Our best midfielder. Yes I said it!

Barcelona are losing 1-0 at Napoli so at least we're doing better than them so far !

Barcelona is in a slump, Bayern isn't.

I suspect Tammy will get at least 20 mins in the second half.

Why all the empty seats ? i know we usually lose seats for CL media, but seems like lots more than usual.

Happy to be level at half time.

Barkley in first half...

People going to the loo at half time

Anyone seen Mertens goal? Wow, what a finish.

I'm pretty sure Lampard won't make a substitution in the beginning of the second half, but we must play Willian immediately.

We were very fortunate there - good half from Caballero. We’re showing them far too much respect, I doubt their defence has had an easier half of football to deal with this season. The formation isn’t working, if we’re going to play defensively and counter-attack we need some pace up front. It was the worst spurs team in the past 10 years we beat on Saturday - the formation needed changing for this game. We might as well have bakayoko and drinkwater as holding midfielders if we’re going to play like this. To get the best out of Jorginho and Kovacic we need to be seeing a lot more of the ball. I’d rather lose and stick to our attacking/possession principles rather than draw 0-0 playing 5 at the back at home. I know I’m moaning and the result is good at half time - with a few good performances from James, Mount and Christensen in particular, but I know we are better than this. 
 

Let’s get Willy on for Barkley, then maybe change to 4-3-3 after 60 mins. 

I would bring willian on for Barkley. As is better at dribbling.

 

other than that let’s keep it going

Willy would have saved that ?

Not A Bad 1st Half, Lucky With The Muller Chance, But Think We've Been Okay, Need To Stop The Poor Passing In Our Own 3rd

Is mount got treacle in his shoes, we need these chances get willy on 

Silly From Jorginho

Davis is too strong too fast for Mason
