I think the aim going forward is to try to stop Vinicius and his likes as a team with aggressive defending and high pressure.

Araujo was available in each of our Classico last season yet we lost all of them with Vinicius running riot and even managing a hatrick at one occasion.

Therefore, Araujo should not be the Vinicius stopper. The team should be.

If you're scared to play how you want then why bother playing? We criticized xavi for not making the most out of this squad and now that Flick is making us look dangerous again, you say you're scared
See our offside traps that has caught the most players in Europe, it could have gone extremely nasty if there was any defect in laying it or the players were more lucky but then again it has made us score goals at a frequent rate as if we're in the MSN era, No risk, No reward

I don't want an Araujo argument with you..you haven't seen Han's version of Araujo and you're already hating

Time will always tell.

If Aston Villa beat this Bayern side on day 2, we should be confident of bringing out a high level capable of beating them too.

Yes our record against them is rotten but we have everything required to right those wrongs except Inaki Pena, that is.

Going against Bayern is not a problem. Pound for pound we can compete but I'm still very much worried about our Goalkeeper. How can Sevilla have just 1 shot on target throughout 90mins, yet that 1 shot is a goal? .

Chai! So, if sevilla had 9 shots on target?

Well brother,the real test of that offside trap to me begins today and Saturday.

I don't think JP was hating.
Merely stating fact. We should learn to be compact and work as a team. I think that was Xavi's main problem. When some key players was out he choked.

Look at Flick system.... No De Jong or Gavi, or Gundogan and DM is still solid.

Olmo was a huge part in our smooth sailing lead in the first few matches. We thought we'd lose momentum but look at that Raphinha, Lewandowski and Yamal partnership.
Even Yamal is having quite a muted performance in these past 3 wins.

So the team is learning to play with all it's strengths with everyone contributing. That's why I'm more confident now.

jpmoriarti:
I'm not hating. I just think we should shift focus on seeing ourselves as underdogs, while focusing on figuring out how to stop this or that player.

We should be able to impose our style on the opposite team. Let them be the one to worry about our players and how to handle them.

I guess this is the journey. We can kick-start that today.

It's time for our yearly Spanish German clash.
Never seen a club drawn with the other as often as ours with Bayern recently. They didn't do it in our prime bit just when we're a broken club, Bayern seem to be there always
