Best we've looked as an attacking unit for god knows how long, so good to see us full of energy, creativity and drive going forward. Bodes well for the second half, I think we will come back and win this.

I think the midfield diamond is conceding too much space on the wings which is causing our midfield to have to work really hard to close the space down. They looked knackered towards the end of the half and Bayern finished on top. I’d go 442 second half personally. 2 good goals by Bayern to be fair but we didn’t close down for the first and had opportunities to clear the ball for their second. Shame to concede just before HT yet again.

Completely agree. Diamond has to go.

Problem is I don’t think we have players in the squad to play all and RM

I couldn’t pick our best shape and then team to fit it.

Maybe winks ND CM Siss right Son left. And Dele 10?

Two up top against Bayern is a huge luxury

Still amuses me greatly that Allardyce and Blackburn passed on Lewandowski.

I wasn't emotionally prepared for this season to be kinda weird and I'm not handling it very well.

Hi spursofficial, unless you want away fans to keep getting battered. Stop letting them in the home end.

Not sure why he persists with the diamond. Game management there you go 451 to close out the half.

If you're blaming him for either goal then football is not the game for you

We've got a great bench. Surely the pace of Lucas would cause their back line real problems

Defensively we are an utter shambles and it’s down to Poch only. Play someone who can help the defence for crying out loud. We concede so many goals as a team and it is scarily obvious and I’m completely flabbergasted that Poch can’t see it

They're a world class football team. We're not gonna shut them out to 1 shot all game.

We should have got to Kimmich, definitely. But aside from that it hasn't been as bad as it's been in previous games.

How many goals have we conceded this season for failing to clear our own lines. 4 or 5 times?

Our cm looks pretty good to me. But the CB pair are left exposed because we are playing such a high line at times.

With a little more clinical finishing the system deployed would be annihilating them. I think it's working, yes it leaves gaps, but the chances we have had mean we ought to be leading.

Aurier makes me nervous.

Watching the first half highlights
Rose sleeping for first goal and Ndombele should have cleared for their 2nd.

We can win this.
3 2 to us imo
Or 4 2 or 4 3

Plenty of time left to win this game but we have to be more clinical when we get our chances.

Need a big second half, we looked gassed though. Worried that we are going to get picked off

Very annoyed. Even more so when we first led the game and playing the best so far this season.

Then seeing how Coutinho made such positive impact for them when we were also linked to him during transfer window made it worse.
