Bayern still misfire, but Kovac has steadied the ship

Tonight’s match at Anfield is round two in a three-way Champions League clash that should tell us a lot about the relative strengths of English and German football, or at least the Premier League and the Bundesliga.
It could be a classic, though the precedents are not great. Surprisingly for two clubs with a long and distinguished European Cup history, Liverpool and Bayern Munich have only met twice at Anfield, and both games finished goalless.
