Sorry for not putting this up earlier but I had forgotten all about it. I'm surprised that no one else created this thread. Oh well. Now we have a thread that will allow us to discuss the game.

Bayern HAS to win, Bremen drew level on points today....

The chances Bayern are missing are incredible. Van Bommel had two chances and one a piece for Altintop and Toni. Van Buyten is playing very well while Roberto is very quite. Let's hope for a better second half display and some goals.

FT Score: Hannover 0-3 Bayern Munich

Scorers: Toni 58', 64', 82

Good second half for Bayern. I wished that Klose had scored though and that Hitzfeld could have brought Podolski on earlier. In 7 minutes he can't show what he is capable of! Good cover up by Buyten for the spilled ball of Kahn.

I was worried at the beginning, but somewhere near the end of the first half the team got it's ish together and I correctly predicted the final score, to some ridicule. Got a beer out of it though, so optimistic predictions do pay off, kids!
Gotta love the hat-trick, he even got right foot, left foot, header to make it extra classy. Even Schweini was doing pretty good in the second half, with an assist to boot. No complaints from me on this game, if we pick up from there on Thursday Aberdeen hasn't got a chance!

Aberdeen also lost 3-1 today. Whether that's good or bad for us, I'm not sure.

Its official fellas,

Luca Toni is the "Player of the season" in Germany..hands down.

He scored what is callled a "German Hattrick" - All goals in the same half with no other player scoring in between. Smile

If he ends up being top goalscorer in both Bundesliga an Uefa Cup there is indeed a good chance that Toni will get the best Bundesliga player award. He faces stiff competition from Diego, Van der Vaart, and Ribery though.

Also, Petric and Gomes are on fire now and they will offer a close competition for the top goalscorer.

Interesting game. Bayern did not well in the first half but they did play much better in the second half. Luckily, Hannover did not score in the first half when Lahm made that huge error. Yikes!!

Toni is the man. His goals were just awesome, especially the header. I was impressed with the fact that he stayed in position to get that rebound to score that goal. I hope he can keep it up.

Too bad Bayern only has one striker at the moment. Klose is in La La Land and who knows when he's going to return. I just wish he can get things together so that he and Toni can become the powerful strike force that they were at the start of the season. If not, he needs to be bench and Podolski needs to start.

Schweinstieger was much better in the second half.

Sagnol is not ready. He is not playing good.

Altintop needs to sit out. His form has dropped.

I also wish to see Sosa, Kroos, and Schlaudraff in the starting line-up.

Willy is lacking in some areas right now compared to his usual self, but what do you expect? 9 months is a long time out. He still did more than Lell's been doing in his absence, both in attack and defending. I didn't think Altintop was that bad either, it seemed like he was always leading on the counterattack. The only problem is he's trying to fill in for Ribery, but he's just not fast enough to be a straight replacement. Or maybe he was just tired from the Aberdeen trip? Whatever, the point is he's a fighter and he did what he does fairly well, probably just needs to work on his passing a bit. At least the players are starting to put themselves forward as options as opposed to back-ups, it's about time. Let's hope they keep it up.
