Eh!! Bayern were already through, furthermore they were 2-0 up early doors & took there foot off the gas. If they hadn't already been through i dread to think what they'd have done to us that night, could have easily been double figures. They annihilated Roma on there own turf, the same Roma who schooled us at our own place. We shouldn't delude ourselves that yesterdays result was anything more than a freak.
Ha ha ha, do you really believe that Bayern weren't arsed?
They are a professional club who want to win every game and to take our scalp is another notch on the bedpost. Whether you see it like that or not, the fact that we came back to beat a team like Bayern says a lot about what we're about.
I think expectation levels are now reaching a peak where we're automatically supposed to win every game and if we're not winning after 20 minutes, by a decent margin, then people start getting anxious or bored. Or, possibly, people just like to whinge.
I'm not saying you are in that boat but to be honest, I reckon you need to don your life jacket. A loss and you'll be throwing yourself overboard.
