Kroos,

magnificient player :bow:

Game set and match. As is turning out to be the norm in the CL nowadays, the outcome was decided with a red card. Up until then, we weren't doing too bad

For the return leg, me, RG, Raptor and REWB should start and give everyone else a rest

The red card killed the game, which is a shame. It was entertaining before it, very boring after it.

Szcnveuhvinvjny may get an extra ban or a fine from UEFA for his obscene gesture.

I really need Bayern to continue their stubbornness over Kroos' contract situation Proud

Our midfield would be complete with him ffs!

nothing more to say really. 2 major games ruined by red cards.

by Blue Barrett Wed Feb 19, 2014 9:55 pm

Both well deserved red cards, tbh.

According to the rules, yeah. Maybe that rule needs tweaking, it too often works against the game, imo.

Yeah both big games were ruined by the sending offs unfortunately, but both were spot on.

by Busby Babe Wed Feb 19, 2014 9:59 pm

Well, Howard Webb hesitates to send players off, because it ruins the spectacle and people moan about his refereeing. Someone will always complain.

Its also got to with Arsenal being a man down in my opinion.Certainly made it more 'comfortable' for him to execute such a great performance.

Maybe some players just have to learn to follow the rules? Laughing

Kroos

MOTM by far.

by Blue Barrett Wed Feb 19, 2014 10:05 pm

Phillip Lahm completed 122/123 passes. 99% completion rate, including 2 key passes Shocked

Of course you have to send players off when it is deserved, but I find that particular red card rule - that when it's the last defender or keeper denying a scoring opportunity - to be harsh sometimes. One goal-scoring opportunity leading to a penalty and a red card. Like Ballack said in the Sky studio, maybe it should be only a penalty (and perhaps a yellow) or a red card if the foul happens outside the box and there's no penalty.

Lets stop overvaluing Bayern players' passing stats shall we ? It obviously helps that Arsenal were a man down.And i noticed most of Lahm's passes were exchanges with Kroos/Thiago or Rafinha on the right.

I think a red card in that situation is total overkill. Yellow + penalty would have been totally fine. Now the club was down to 10 players and additionally the player who was sent off gets a suspension, too.

by Adit Wed Feb 19, 2014 10:09 pm

Bayern looked alot worse defensively than last year..i ll take that as a positive from this game Laughing

by Robespierre Wed Feb 19, 2014 10:11 pm

it' s destiny for Fabiansky to play against Bayern
I wonder if fifa will never change the rule red for GK + penalty kick, too penalizing

by M99 Wed Feb 19, 2014 10:11 pm

Lay the new Xavi :bow:

by Helmer Wed Feb 19, 2014 10:12 pm

I think the rule has to be there, otherwise opposite team players will start wiping out another team's players

AFAIK the DFB is campaigning for this rule to be changed for a while now. Unfortunately the FIFA rule commission still hasn't taken it onto the agenda for the next meeting.
