I missed the game bar 15 minutes in the first half. Sounds like it wasn’t champagne football but thankfully got the win.

I wanted to know, how was the Kim DeLigt partnership? Sounds like Gala were all over us with a heavy press, and there was lack of support from the midfield (shocker)?

I read a lot against Tuchel but I’m actually pleasantly surprised with him. He became a liability in his late months for PSG so I was concerned.
But he managed to convince Sané to play this left side playmaker role which is fantastic with Kane upfront and Davies pushing the left lane.
Coman on the right is a great asset as he makes so many runs to track back.
I’m a bit disappointed with Musiala but he is still a kid, I guess he played instead of Muller because we lack intensity in midfield. Muller is 34 and coming back from an injury so I’m not that surprised he is not risked.

Müller has to start the next game (I hope)

Personally I am OK with this performance given that it was away and the stadium was so annoying. The Garatasaray side was quite impressive offensively the first half pressing high. They got lucky and unlucky moments. But their defense was just atrocious and became too vulnerably when players used up their energy.

But Tuchel: what is wrong with you and Muller?

Musiala got a lot of criticism. Right fully so. I get it.

But i honestly think his “poor decision-making” today was due to him thinking he has to win this game for us on his own. Which is understandable if you look at the performance and how we started this game. And you know, he did win us the game with an assist and a goal.

When they include the best fucking 9 in the world, the attack improves as fuck. There are tons of work to do but hey, we won.

Müller not subbed for his ucl wins count sucks…

Dunno but seems like tuchel doesn’t rate him, I feel he would have easily found a few good deep passes today

As much as Gala pressed and as well as they played, they really didn’t have a sniff in the second half.

Love the way Laimer and Ulrich played. The two save’s Ulrich had early were amazing.

The team showed heart and worked their tail off. Deserved terrorist style win!

First half reminded me of playing vs city last season. If I speak I am in big trouble

Even though the defense looked shaky as a whole, I thought De Ligt played very well. I feel much more confident when he is out there to command the defense.

I don’t understand the hate towards the fans. Why would you want a silent stadium, fans are supposed to support their team lol.

Are there no interviews after the Game on Dazn?

I supported Tuchel so far, but I have to admit I am fed up.

There is no way you watched the game, up to the 78th minute, and thought we would be worse off if we used our bench. The goals we scored were individual talent, not from chaining of passes. The passing was horrendous. For the first 70 or so minutes we camped in our own half against Galatasaray. The only reason we turned it around was because Galatasaray has older players that ran out of gas.

The way Tuchel treats his bench is beyond wasteful. He enjoys his super subs and once he finds them he sticks with them.

There are so many talking points here but the first question I have:

• What happened to Kimmich?

Like what’s going on? Is he honing it in? Protesting because his manager got sacked and he’s no longer the go-to for Tuchel? Unhappy that his mate was rumoured to be on the chopping block this summer?

I feel like his best years have been wasted which is a ridiculous thing to say considering what he has achieved but this guy should be a shout for the best midfielder in the world and he was there but something has happened this year where he has massively fallen off. Maybe that is a reactionary take but it’s where I am.

Is he suffering from trying to do it all? He’s taking on all this responsibility but fundamentally can’t handle it without another quality midfielder protecting him.

As for him wearing the arm band, I get it’s a largely empty symbol and it’s more an administrative thing but tonight he wasn’t good enough to wear the shirt let alone captain’s armbands.

When there was all the talks of future captain and all that, the argument was “he’s too hot headed” and it was always rebuffed with “so was Kahn, Effenberg, Van Bommel…” But now he doesn’t strike me as the guy to rally the players and get them working in the way that De Ligt, Müller, shit even Goretzka does!

Maybe I’m just disappointed with the performance and his was notably frustrating. It’s a frustration that stems from him being way off where he should be.

I hope this sub finally puts some fucking respect on Ulle‘s name, he‘s been saving our asses all season already with world class saves
