I can understand Bayern fans frustration. For me, as well as Pep has had both Barca and Bayern playing, its a sterile type of football. I think Barca and now Bayern play well within themselves. Pep seems to value more control and possession over penetration and potential scoring chances.
For what Pep has said this week about English teams set up to defend and catch his teams out after a mistake, could it not also be said that he does the same with his teams, albeit his team are defensive with the ball, and opposition teams defensive without it?
--------------------------------------
There's some truth to that, though Barca at their very best were a beautiful attacking unit. Perhaps it's fair to say that the attacking was thanks to the quality of the players, while the system further loaded the odds in their favour because they wouldn't concede many goals.
Peps pointless possession style is just as boring as Jose's defensive set ups but at Barca he had Messi so no one would say Messi is boring to watch.
United got a result with 35% possession at home, should of won, United of last season probably would of stood a chance.
I have dubbed his style "Pointless Possession".
Bayern Munich have their own Robb
'Good grief, this thread is disgusting. We go on an unbeaten run for a year and a half (524 fecking days), win a historic treble, win the league title in March (remember - it goes on until May), and people suddenly lose faith after losing to Augsburg? After losing, mind you, by one goal, and playing the likes of Weiser, Sallahi and Hojberg, in a competition which we've already won.
Man the feck up people. I agree that I don't like Pep's CL approach, I've said so already. But to think this game is lost already? I dread to think what some people in this forum would feel if they supported a smaller team. We were beaten - it happens. Doesn't make us any less strong. We're going to come out of this on top, and feck me sideways if I ever ever dare think anything else when it comes to this team. We know what we're worth. I believe in us.'
Actually it was surprising to see quite a few Bayern fans moaning about Pep and the the way the team play
Quite a few Stretty's in the Bayern fan ranks too

I hear you. Although the photo has the look of something from a breakfast cereal / yoghurt advert rather than a selfie.

I didn't think Aex was a selfie either tbh
If it is, I hope no United fans bump into him today
I'm also predicting 2-2 tonight.

It's interesting to see a few of them don't seem to have taken to Pep yet despite the fact they had the league rapped up
--------------------
Maybe they just don't like the gangsta rap music. Wouldn't have liked to see SAF rap anything to be honest; so I can understand where they're coming from
Macca, I guess that's basically how most people around here picture me anyway.

I had you down for looking like a sorta Brian Cox/Alan Carr hybrid
Macca, don't make me unleash my Alex from Bosnia on you.
