Tonight wasnt really about individuals though, just CL experience.

We had it under control until half time and then Bayern just took it up a gear and stunned us. You have to weather those spells
----------------------------------------------------------------------
the average age of the Dortmund squad is the same as ours and they have an even younger and more inexperienced coach that us
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No, they havent but what they did yesterday was they showed from the beginning on that they wanted to win the game and they were brave.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
average age of both squads is 25???

Hard to pick the players up from 2 back to back defeats.

Very common pattern under arteta
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The one thing I would say is arteta has done well without a top striker

We are desperate for one
----------------------------------------------------------------------
eddie £100k a week though

The wingers are not going to the byline out of choice. When you have striker of worth that actually becomes tactic the manager employs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The wingers should be able to do it here and there. They werent. On the other hand Bayern did score their goal by doing it

Terzic is young and unexperienced. He is a BVB man through and through. He worked for Dortmund with the amateur team before.

He also lost the title at home to Mainz last season.

If that's the case then that proves the tactics are stupid if you've got a team sitting deep you have to make the pitch as big as possible by keeping the width that will create other spaces to play in, if everything is compacted into the width of the penalty area then there will never enough space to get through irrespective of how good the forward is.

And you have to make their FB's moving and making mistakes. Today our wingers never provide any threat to them. Easy to defend.

Right. Pep realised that and bought Haaland. Lets see if Arteta wakes up and signs a striker of note.
