This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Maybe the worst Bayern in years, but that isn't saying much by wcnitz
Their standard is pretty high.
Experience really matters in these matches, the margins are fine. Bayern is loaded with CL experience and has two two-time winners still on the roster from 2013 (Neuer and Thomas). This match was 100% in control once that goal went in, they knew exactly how to handle it.
And I have to give a lot of credit to Tuchel re: Saka - from the point where Davies got his yellow card early in the first leg, he essentially double covered that wing. Gnabry started tracking all the way back in that game, and in this game he used Guerrero as a LW instead of LB, and had Guerrero come back and provide extra coverage for Maz on that side. Guerrero has stepped in at LB for Bayern a few times this year with Davies in and out.
