Lahm, Alaba, Alonso and Modric have all been quality IMO.
I swear Jamie Carragher just summed up "possession football" perfectly.
What did he say? Pub I was in turned the sound off after the game, ****s.
Basically that possession football means nothing if it's not penetrative. It's all well and good a team achieving a high possession % but there has to be other things in addition to this, it has to penetrative and it has to result in chances created.
To me he was talking about us under AVB.
One goal in three hours worth of Champions League Semi-Final football isn't a great return on my viewing investment.

Decent penalty shout for Muller there? Looked borderline to me. 1-0 still, not the worst result for Bayern, but they'll need to keep it tight at home to go through.
Agreed. Possession for the sake of possession is no good.
Although I think he might have overreacted to the game today (I didn't watch it, but pundits usually do). Real scored from one of their first chances, Bayern had a couple of decent chances before that. IIRC their counter that lead to the goal was almost directly from a shot inside the box that was blocked. A slight deflection or better finish there and Carragher is talking about how Barca's superior possession play won the day.
It was essentially a fairly close game that Real just about edged in terms of chances I thought. Not exactly a bad performance from Bayern away from home.
