Bdog Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Just caught up now. While there were a few giveaways (which, as noted, there were tons of from both teams) he was really good on the ball as usual. It’s gonna be exciting if he gets more freedom this year.

OhCanadaOhBaby Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Good Afternoon Gentlemen and Gentlewomen. Phonzie gets the nod at LB again today, Kickoff at 12:30 ADT vs Köln. Coman out with injury so Sane in, and Nianzou is in the back line with Upa and Sule. Interesting to see how this new combination does given all three of those defenders are traditionally centre halves and they have listed Sule as the RB. For Phonzie, my guess is he will have to play a little more conservative as to not overcompensate for the likely underwhelming offensive output from his full back counterpart. Expect a high scoring game from Bayern nonetheless coming off their impressive cup win. dyslexic nam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long overdue that we all start recognizing the Atlantic time zone as the most important one. 👍🏼 ghostknownunknown, OhCanadaOhBaby, Trois Reds and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinceA Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Flick seemed to want Davies to pick his moments in pushing forward, which was good as it made Davies more aware of the game state and more conservative with his energy, but Nagelsmann seems to just want him to be pushed up all the time, which I'm down for.

TOcanadafan Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 With Musiala doing his thing in the 2nd half, Davies didn’t have much impact on the offence, but still solid in any build up play. He was partly at fault for the 2nd goal as he didn’t do enough to prevent the cross - needs to stay ‘turned on’ a little more… but maybe a bit tired as was noted in a previous comment.

He's playing so far forward under Nagelsmann - especially in the 1st half, he was further forward than Gnabry most of the time, high pressing, etc. and then having to run all the way back. That's tough to do even on young legs... WestHamCanadianinOxford and Ivan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that draw is pretty favourable - nothing very threatening about that group. I also think David and even Hutch/Larin have a chance. But sadly, I don't think Tajon will get to see that UCL action he was hoping for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would really show Bayern. We could win the group. If you have watched CL at all you realise outlying results don't ever set the trend. Both Benfica and Dynamo could take points off either. There was a moment there we could have gotten Besiktas too, would have been great. Sad Lille is going to Seville, too far away for me to travel. Barça has to transition post Messi, but Depay, Griezmann, Ansu Fati, Braithwaite and Kun is not a slouch attack.

No, he's a decent striker for sure. He'd probably score 10-12 in the EPL. He gives Barça a target and some fight, he was signed in an emergency when Suarez was injured. But no question he is not really at the level of any top club in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Barca has Depay and De Jong I watched that Bayern-Barça in Library Square in Vancouver with a few guys on here and plenty more, Barça and Bayern fans, but almost all Davies fans. Of course the move on Semedo was out of this world but it was also a terrible piece of coaching, because Semedo is a good player. And we'd just gotten one back, it was 4-2 start of the 2nd half and Davies broke our backs. But what I am saying. Even that match, it was 4-2 with half an hour left and we definitely could have pulled it closer or fought for the draw. But it was Davies, and Kimmich doing that incredible run to support him. But also Barça being atrociously coached and not handling things they way we normally know how to do. We lost 8-2 and had more possession, but it should have been 4-3 or 5-4 and even more possession for Barça CanadaFan123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As was Davies first-class-ticket-to-Wolverhampton gift to Semedo. But I will also agree that Barca is much better post-Messi than people think. I would only be mildly shocked if they won the group.

Another thing: in a home and away that does not happen, it was the worst result in the history of the club in Europe. We have screwed up notoriously in knockout rounds, and really stupidly, and with Messi on the pitch, but not with that kind of result. I'd be surprised if Bayern got a result at Camp Nou this fall.
