people make mistakes. especially in fútbol. bayern just made fewer.

what i mean is-- i don't think it's really fair to say "why was robben allowed to use his left foot for a brief moment." i mean, that shit happens. bayern fans could blame xabi alonso for allowing alexis to score-- why did he let that ball etc. and ozil... i don't see him regularly but players have good and bad days. neuer had a couple of impossible and unusual fuckups, for example-- they're just not highlighted because bayern won. so his flaw is hidden but there were mistakes and low performances on both sides.

however i do think that wenger is problematic, yeah. i don't watch arsenal regularly, but i was told by the commentators that their lineup was their predictable usual shape, no adjustments for bayern of any kind.

the commentators were saying that with ospina in the goal, because he's shorter, it made it possible for bayern to shoot more crosses. and that's exactly what they did. they exploited the vulnerability. so that's a big difference between the coaches: stubborness v.s adaptation.

the other thing i noticed is that after arsenal started getting punked they changed nothing in the way they played. reminds me of fucking pep: if the system is failing, double down on it. and so it was 5-1 instead of 2-1 or 3-1 or 3-2, which would still have been a contest. but no. he insisted.

a comment from the talking heads that cheered me a lot was "the horse jumps as high as it needs to clear the hurdle" in reference to bayern.

because with pep we had gotten used to always XTREEM RECORD VICTORY AT ALL TIMES. but then they couldn't clear the final hurdle.

whereas with ancelotti, they do what they need to win their weekend games and just that. which keeps them fresh, prevents injuries, and surprises all enemies.

i was so happy to see bayern hitting arsenal with fast counters. that ability had almost disappeared under pep.

not saying that arsenal is a first-rate adversary (they aren't) but it was great to see bayern push the pedal to the metal when it counts. and mueller finally broke out of his slump.

i was nervous before this game but now i'm not so worried about the future rounds. i'm just keeping fingers crossed for an injury-free squad and the return to full form by douglas costa, who on the left wing can be satan incarnate but had no goals yesterday.
