We do have 5 subs so could replace them with Fofana, Santos, Estevao and Garnacho, leaving one spare.

Corrected

Combination of James playing where nobody but Maresca would play him and Enzo just playing is turning our midfield into a sieve.

Add to that that Cucurella is on toast and it's a matter of time before Bayern get a third unless we make changes.

Maresca's overall gameplan tears any midfielder to shreds, the gap is just too big to cover.

Cucurella always start central then rushes and stop in the wings. Faster wingers will always take advantage

We look sh*te scared like we never played in a big stadium before.

Enzo shows why he's the best even while we are behind.

This is a great match!

We can still get something. But Maresca has to make changes to help Cucu and Reece is wasted where he is . Please don't wait untill it's too fecking late .

Most of them haven;t

Need to change the formation get enzo further back into the middle and bring James left allow him to roam central but help double up with MC on the left, everything is coming down that side the middle and left needs it we look vulnerable, it bring on estevao as well Neto is as useless as an arsehole on your elbow

We just can’t keep the ball at all the players look nervous, Bayern look levels above and should be out of sight.

I disagree, I don't think they look levels ahead. Kompany's tactics are sh*t and if we would just compose ourselves, we could pick them apart. They have quality in attack, but we've gifted them two goals.

How the f**k is that not a red card??? And how the f**k is that a free kick on Caicedo for their first goal???

Shocking, really...

The problem is we can’t expect James to do runs like Gusto have been doing. It’s just not worth risk aggravating an injury.

For a lot of them, this is their first game in the CL and in a legendary stadium

True!!

I’d bring on Santos and Estevao

The Champions League suffers the same problems as leagues all around Europe, certain names get weird decisions in their favour. Just look at the penalty Real Madrid got last night.

It's the CL. After Ovrebo, I never depend on refs in the CL for anything

Agreed. When that poor level of officiating, to the level of it being questioned legitimatelyas corrupt, anything can happen if you are one of the darlings of uefa, such as Barca, Bayern, Real or Liverpool etc.

Yep. Take off Enzo/Reece and Neto. Need more speed in the transitions and more creativity in midfield

I would actually drag Neto as he has been totally ineffectual. I would drop RJ back into his position, Bring Estevao on in the right and move Gusto over to the left wing, on the basis that at least he puts in the doggies and he and Cucurella can try and double up on Olise. We would then have enough with Palmer, Estevao and Pedro to hurt them on the counter.

Maybe we can score against them again, but I don't see us not conceding again. Our defence is pants.

Minje is coming on.

Oh no please don’t bring on Jackson I don’t think we can cope.

Ref lets play go on , then stops play as soon as we get possession

Absolutely. He is as dodgy as f**k.

As long as we don't get transfer banned. I need Clearlake to replace our central defenders. Penders better be ready next season

That was almost a perfect ball from Sanchez.
