A lot of posters on here are giving a lot of credit to Bayern Munich for the way they played and beat us today.
They are a fantastic, however, are we not giving them far too much credit especially given that we were poor today?
For a game of its scale and magnitude certain players did not deliver at all.
Rudiger was very poor positionally throughout the game and probably was at fault for the 2nd goal alongside Caballero who should not have been beaten.
Azpi lost focus and slipped which resulted in the first goal. Very thin line when it comes to making errors against top teams.
Christensen got drawn into the mis-timed sliding tackle leading to the 3rd goal.
With possession we gave the ball away far too many times to Bayern. Barkley and Jorginho being culpable which led to numerous bayern chances in the first half. The occasion got the best of Mount and his inexperience had shown through massively. Reece James was very tentative and maybe was scared of making a mistake and of course inexperience. Alonso made a silly foul to get a red card.
Maybe Kovacic is the only man that can hold his head up high.
We are definitely better than the performance today. We shown a lot more vs Liverpool and Man City earlier during the season.
Dissappointment and I hope it is a learning curve. We need transfers.

Didn't learn anything we didn't already know after the game, this squad needs a big revamp in the summer. Kovacic was definitely our best player tonight, and has been all season. He's one of the few that should have a starting spot next season. And at least 5 or 6 players that started tonight shouldn't be starting for us next season. It's definitely going to be a huge summer.

The next window will IMO be a test for the club and Lamps but that’s how it should be for a lot of transfer windows.
The Bayern style of play was so simple and effective. While give and go football is hardly original it is good on the eye.
Our coaching staff must have been aware of the Bayern style and it was our inability all over the pitch to combat this style that worries me.
