Get new glass......
i believe we wasted money on him....but that does not change the fact that you need new glasses....
About the match....impressed with pinto's performance, cant say the same about any of our defenders...
Sergi Roberto, probably have impressed every time he played for first team....Its a shame we could not score...but i am happy we created some very good scoring chances vs their best eleven,.,.....

Ohhh...byern's pressing game is really very enjoyable...specially their set pieces....they look so confident on every set pieces, specially the movement of the players during set pieces...

i am wondering whether we have enough players to rotate(different eleven) in the second half....

our young defense so far in second half:bow:

This is like when you meet your ex on the street, and they're perfectly put together and you're hungover.

Thank you Bayern for not wanting to play this second half vs our b team.

@neuro, refresh me my mind, what did Alexis of merit? Nothing. Messi and Tello dribbled a couple of players and had a chance each.

Losing 1-0 to this Bayern with the players you have available should be considered in achievement tbh

I expected 4 or 5.

Good game from Patrick too, but he isn't a FB, don't know why we insist playing him there.

Traitor sucked the absolute living daylights against coachless Barca B just from holiday in Munchen.

Javi Espinosa > JDS

MD claiming masche had a phenomenal game.

Who had more possession ?

They must be insane or something.

Ball Possession: Bayern 55%-45% Barça

Should be noted that Barca B team played the entire 2nd half and did better than what the first team reserves did the first half. Really impressive. Maybe they should get Roura to coach the B Team

not bad, considering that we played with the Bench+Messi in the 1st half, Barca B in 2nd half and this was our 1st game of the season playing against Bayern (away)!

Espinosa is class, hope he gets the chance to play some games with the 1st team this season, also JDS and especially Roberto did well!

Roberto played a wonderful game. Really disappionted with the backline. Every player par probably Adriano were rubbish.

Espinosa was class. Really impressed with him

now that has a little difference in meaning with "invisible".
He did not play great, not as much as Telo or Messi did....however he pressed well to recover well, did not loose the ball too easily, even in one occassion was surrounded by 2/3 players, he used force and came out to pass....again all i am complaining is just "invisible"

Sergi Roberto was the only player who performed at decent level. Bartra and Mascherano as usual - crap. They both aren't good enough for CB, we need two good CBs but with inept Zubizarreta we won't buy even 1 good player.

You are right, he was worse than invisble. He had some ball and did nothing and lost it plenty of times.

Only decent play was the one you mention, in which Alexis did his trademark move of keeping the ball under pressure through dribbling towards our goal.

Ofcourse i cant fight with some one gave his logical thinking to Pedro. But it looks silly to even talk so long about a match that had nothing remarkable for us......

You are right, there's no need to discuss about this unremarkable match, especially about Alexis when nothing can be said about his game.
