Alvarez didnt have any assists or goals, so them together isnt exactly deadly. I dont like when they play together on top cause Alvarez usually runs in the same room Haaland does. Its better when Alvarez have a role in the midfield as he did when he came on, and its good to put him on when opposition players are starting to get tired.

It was a massive team effort. Ederson made so many big saves, Ruben Dias was a wall, Nathan Ake and Akanji kept the wingers quiet for the most part. KDB was pivotal till he got subbed. Grealish never lost possession. Bernardo's 4 nutmegs in a row was a highlight other than his goal. Gundo connected everyone in midfield. Rodri was Godri. Stones assisted Haaland, and Haaland assisted Bernardo before scoring his own goal.

The rest 10 plus Alvarez was very very good. 100% that was the best 70 min from Man city Beat Bayern 3-0 Could have easily score 3 more. You are just a hater. Go Watch the game.

[@paulcoffield2102]

Bayern getting rid of Nagelsmann at this stage of the season was one of the stupidest upper management decisions I've ever seen at a big club. Complete arrogance to think that they could simply replace one manager with another and not have any immediate downside, especially when that manager was still in all three competitions.

[@dreeziedeclan]

Exactly 💯

[@BigSuzpekt]

You're on point. Personally, i don't think it'll be tuchel's fault if Bayern don't win any trophies this season. You can't expect to adjust to a manager when you have less than 20 games left in the season. If Bayern wanted tuchel so bad, they should've at least negotiated for nagelsmann to finish the season before parting ways.

Except for the money part there is nothing in common between psg and City. Psg is just 11 world class individuals whereas City is a beast of a team. City is much more entertaining and collective force. In fact, even in terms of money, City has evolved continuously to become a club with a plan and invest money smartly, while psg just throws it on big names.

As a Man United Fan I have been saying this for the last 6 years now- If Man City are at their A or A+ game in the last 6 years (since 2017/18)- nobody can mess with them outside of maybe 2017-18 Real Madrid with Zidane as the coach and C.Ronaldo playing. No team got a higher celing than City. When they are firing on all cilinders- you might as well just forefit. I have seen City in their B level game beat Chelsea 6-0 and Liverpool 5-0.

That 3-2-5 formation by city & arsenal are getting really dangerous for the opponents. That inverted midfield are now being used even by teams which traditionally have not used them. Last game liverpool used it against arsenal with TAA as the inverted midfield firstly struggling for 30 minutes & then really creating chaos in the opposition half. One has to be really brave to use that in a big game & against a big team & that too in crunch matches. Once a team gets comfortable with that shape it really creates problems for opposition teams.

We need to get real about Musiala. Yes he is a brilliant player, got a lot of flair, but what does he offer us? He has been poor since the World Cup. This may be an unpopular opinion but I really do not see what he offers the team. Granted we had no Choupo as the pivot, nor Muller, who should have started ahead if Gnabry, but Musiala has a lot to learn and improve on.
