We have to stick with our guns. Mathieu Debuchy and Kieran Gibbs are capable full backs, don’t get me wrong. I have sang their praises and the praises of the depth of this defense as a unit. But this is Bayern Munich in a game that we absolutely need. There can be no slip ups.

Hector Bellerin’s composure continues to impress. It has to become more and more believable as the norm each time it is put on display. This kid does not play like a 20 year old. He plays like someone who has been here for years. However, that kind of composure can be busted up by Bayern Munich in a heartbeat. This is a massive game for Bellerin.

Nacho Monreal is a mainstay. He is not going to lose his starting role. Kieran Gibbs has not proven enough to earn a start against Bayern Munich.
