Hahah poor Pep & Low. You guys have got your huge claims and ready-made scapegoats. Well played.


He couldve just continued Heynckes philosophy. Nobody would critizise him then.

When you come to a club that just won the triple and completely change the game approach you are doing something wrong.

Passing the football around and not doing anything of note except for one instance in the match is just as bad. Pep and the bayern players fell Into the trap really.

Always entertaining watching the Sky Germany post-game Show after Bayern lost. :) I can't describe their arrogance.

You make it sound like Bayern was the better team, which was not the case at all.

That's not what he believes in. His views on how football should be played couldn't be clearer. Blame the people who hired him, if anything.

Not to mention they haven't lost anything yet.

i have enough of this bayern vs 10 men behind the ball crap.
i don't expect to see it when they play against REAL MADRID ---- AT THE BERNABEU.

this is a losers mentality. playing like that = acknowledging the superiority of the opponent.
but i don't expect it to be rewarded. bayern definitely gonna finish them off at the allianz arena.

Bayern should be happy with the small loss, it could have been much worse. Real is in the driver's seat, but I would hate to play 11 seething Bavarians on the road.

As I desperately await for Barca to get a new coach this summer I was somewhat hoping for Pep to return (as unlikely as that might be) but he still seems to lack a Plan B.

more possession, more corners, more shots, more chances.
bayern COMPLETELY DOMINATED the game.
real had what - 3 chances on the counter?
add to that that counter-attacking football is nothing special, you have space, you have less direct opponents, they're moving etc.
don't tell me bayern couldn't have converted one of their chances.
this should've been a 1-1, at least.

Well, technically they are right. Bayern had more possession, more corners and more shots at the goal. But if Neuer is the best Bayern player (no sarcasm), it says a lot.

Real had better chances and could have scored more.

nothing bayern did was threatened madrid except the gotze chance and the muller half chance. If you didn't threaten the opponent no way you dominated the match. The game could have been ugly on the counter if bale was fit to start and ronaldo was anywhere near 100%

and majority of bayern's possession was useless.

bayern had enough chances to score. what exactly are you trying to tell me?
that real "we had 25% possession and 3 chances" madrid were the better team?
you're going to give madrid props for this crap.
lol, can't bevlieve it.
as i said, this is 2012 chelsea all over.

You guys had once chance (the Gotze one) and that was it. Bayern barely threatened Real, nearly everyone of them was pretty poor today, especially in the first half. It should be known that possession doesn't mean anything in today's game, also it's not like Bayern played any "good football" either, passing from side to side at the half way line, keeping the ball without actually doing anything is not "good football"

you wanna tell me that bayern's chances weren't as good as madrid's 3 chances?
that this was a logical win for madrid?
come on, guys, you're better than that.

a passive, counter-attacking team has 3 chances on the counter and you're telling me that this was a deserved win?
biased, sorry.

this was a poor, lucky win by a counter-attacking team. i've seen enough of that in the bundesliga. i don't expect to see it in a CL-semifinal against madrid. at the bernabeu.
