you clearly never played yourself
those mistakes happen when you only focus on possession and dont train where to go when you dont have the ball
also, this defense should play deeper vs barca
we could have played forward much more often and more aggressive to threaten barca
instead useless possession after 1:0 and conceeding immediately
squad situation was crap of course, but not starting rode instead of lahm or schweini was another ridiculous blunder
as you said yourself both of them crap right now and rode was only injured for a week
thats nothing
you understand whats bothering me? even like this it was still possible to make it....
I never played proffesional football, that's true.
Personally i'd have put a 4-4-1-1 formation at nou camp, 2 narrow lines, leaving the flanks open and denying play though mid. But i am not pep.
His ideas of football worked wonders till 70" (although noyer denied like 2-3 chances due to boateng-benatia). One could argue that the collapse happened due to the early high pressing. Team wasnt fresh anymore.
But on the other side, do you really think barca wouldn't have scored if you had gone bus parking the first half ? doubt it.
We had troubles in creating vs madrid 4-2-3-1 agressively pushing. We had trouble creating vs bayern 1st half and half of second.
Chances were due to rafinha getting beaten by messi at headers (lol), boateng flop (lol). 1st goal was noyer mistake 50%. Second was lahm walking towards cutting-in messi 50%.
The team we speak of conceeded vs personal mistakes vs city away (lol mistakes). Vs porto away (lol mistakes again). What did you expect ? flawless defending vs barca ? The bench was empty.
