He looks good for large spells of the game, but you just know he's going to drop a bollock if you pressurise him enough!
Like me and a mate said, they defend so well from the front that it's very hard to break them down.
However if you can 'get' at their centre backs they are vulnerable.
remember a while back Aguero had a tendency to miss the easy chances but get the difficult ones, Everton at home last year springs to mind where missed a couple of sitters but got one from a really tight angle. Now I'd argue he's the most clinical striker in the world. Can't think of any player I'd rather have in a 1 v 1 situation.
What a player, we're so lucky to have him.

I consider the second goal one of the most difficult to execute. He has to pinpoint that ball, otherwise it goes to Neuer or goes wide. Perhaps you're talking about the third one which is a bit simpler but I don't consider that easy either.

They've let in 3 goals so far this season, which may suggest they have a wonderful defence, but could also be an indication that the defence regularly have much less pressure on them.
Hard to say if it's true, as they face a similar number of shots per match to City (9 to 9.4), but that's the view from at least some Bayern fans.
It could just well be a similar story to why people believe City, Arsenal, United etc have dodgy defences - because they spend so much of each match attacking, they are invariably left with less protection than a side which spends much of the match with solid banks of 4:4 or 4:5.
*boo hoo.

Of course that was mainly by an aggitated lunatic, but my point still stands.

Turns out Cityger was a well rounded individual after all.
Not easy no, but chances you'd expect a striker to take and he did so emphatically. He used to miss those a fair bit and get the harder chances but now he's just clinical.

I understand what you mean but if you expect a striker to score the second goal, you have very high expectations. I think that's the type of goal that has a high dull to skill level, in that it looks kind of boring but it's very hard to score. The third one I can agree with more but not completely either.

His touches away from the defender are perfection, he's created an angle that's made Neuer's job tough to manage plus he's given himself sufficient space from the defender. The finish itself was great too, on his weaker foot and the angle gets tighter and tighter as Neuer bears down on you there.
