Akira Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 Absolutely incredible to watch. Bayern are completely different class to Barca. Can't see any team beating this Bayern team, playing the way they're playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt whether Bayern have more than 1 player under 6’. Quick, throw away the football coaching manual, its not needed anymore, it's not how good a footballer you are, it’s just how tall you are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defending a team with aerial threats would get very interesting imo. Many opposition teams already know how to get behind our wing-backs by use of high balls, with a couple of tall forwards and 6 ‘ plus advancing midfielders I think Bentley could be at severe risk, that’s without consideration of his occasional flappy moments in coming for crosses. As Dean has shown could part-counter by playing 3-5-2 with additional height at the back and a bit more cover for the space behind the wing-backs but our height issues still makes us vulnerable. One of the reasons losing Fammy - who is excellent at defending high balls - could have major repercussions for us beyond just losing his goal threat.

Ah yes, the good old fashioned 2-6-1-1 formation (no centre back variant). A personal favourite of mine that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 "Bayern don't have more than one player under 6 ft". Recorded the game so gonna watch it tomorrow- sounds like a good one! The Bayern 1st XI tonight: Neuer- 6 ft 3-6 ft 4 Kimmich- 5 ft 9 Boateng- 6 ft 3- maybe rounding takes to 6 ft 4. Alaba- 5 ft 10- maybe rounding takes to 5 ft 11. Davies- 5 ft 11 Thiago- 5 ft 8- maybe rounding takes to 5 ft 9. Goretzka- 6 ft 2 Gnabry- 5 ft 8-5 ft 9 Muller- 6 ft 1 Perisic- 6 ft 1 Lewandowski- 6 ft Subs: Sule- 6 ft 4-6 ft 5 Hernandez- 5 ft 11-6 ft Tolisso- 5 ft 11 Coutinho- 5 ft 7-5 ft 8 Coman- 5 ft 10 Now granted the subs played for varying lengths of time but height appears not to be decisive. Bayern are of course a top level side but it's sure not as important as it once was! On the other hand, online metrics/stats can be misleading- and it's funny some pictures Bayern look quite short but others they don't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
