Unofficial FC Bayern Forum

I've got to admit, there is one thing. I'm worried that the forum will be full of posts similar to this:

'It's still very early in the season, no worries fellas' , fallowed by posts like these:

'Ok. So we are 11 points off Dortmund, but if we beat them twice then there's only 5 points. 5 points GODDAMN IT! WE ARE FC BAYERN MUNCHEN!'

After seeing the last match I am worried that I will fall asleep everytime I see the team playing

Not reaching any european competition. For Bayern, that's a complete failure. Injuries are another worry of course, but they heal and we have quality subs to do good in BL at least.

I would like us to play (at least try) 4-3-3 for a while... something like this:

Ribery ----- Mueller ----- Robben
---- Schweini ---------- Kroos
------------- Gustavo
Lahm ---- Bad - Boa ---- Rafinha

Of course, we won't have both Robbery for a lot of games... so, in reality, in most of the games we will have Mueller as a winger, and Gomez will play as ST.

=====
Something else that I would like us to try, (and honestly am amazed why we haven't yet) is to play 4-3-3, but with Robben as CAM:
------------- Gomez
Ribery ----- Robben ----- Mueller

Robben has a lot more space, so his moves are less predictable... Ribery will benefit from being close to Robben... and Mueller is really at home at RAM... All for the better...

I agree that Robben could be useful in the center, not sure if it is a preference of him or the coach to keep him on the wing so he could drift into the center -- but in some ways he does seem wasted on the wing. I do like how he drifts in from the wing and shoots when least expected. Also a 4-3-3 could be nice to see with our players -- as the players we have suit that formation.

1. barcelona, Manu or " real madrid" winning the champions league in the allianz arena...
2. Kroos as the first alternative of substitution
3. Neuer' s Bloopers...
4. Tymo or Luis Gustavo as the unique alternative in CM.
5. Schweini perfomance in Germany better than in bayern.
6. Olic does not count for Heynckes..
7. A lack of creative in the bayern offense
8. More horizontal passes from bayern players..
9. Borussia Dortmund above of us again..
10. A lack of leadership in Lahm

=D>
I was going to ask if Olic was fit enough for Gladbach match. He could have been useful.
I think we need a temperamental captain (Kahn, Effenberg, etc), but Lahm seems too shy, like the friendly guy. And we need a warrior, someone with bollocks to kick some asses if it's necessary.

Like someone said before, I think Gomez could turn into goMISS again. Hope not. Just in case, i think Olic could be a good company for him.

ONLY IF Robben/Ribery are out:
-----------------------------Neuer-----------------------
Rafinha-----------Boateng------Badstuber--------Lahm
Robben/Müller----Schweini--Gustavo--Ribery/Müller
--------------------Olic----------Gomez-----------------------

I think that Olic must be fit, because he complete all the preseason.

Well hit points !!! I agree with you and one of my big concerns you mentioned was #10 with lack of leadership. Truthfully Lahm doesn't seem like a leader such as Kahn or Van Bommel were -- I believe it is one of the reason's why we lost this past Sunday and had lack of motivation -- we need a true leader, not just someone German. Lahm seem's too much like a pussy. #3 is another issue, we have all seen him make Big Lehmann type blunders for the NT and Schalke, but he also pulls some amazing saves -- if he gets 100% consistent and cuts out the school boy errors then he will be amazing for us -- every keeper makes errors, but blunders are something different.

Don't be forgetting that Kahn made the mother of all blunders (you know what I'm referring to). At least Neuer does them in the monotony of the Bundesliga.

Great list!
My biggest worry that Neuer ( for who we give 25 mil.) could become new Lehmann #-o

Ok, Kahn made significant mistakes like in the world cup 2002, but it was for Germany. No bayern.

The only mistakes of Kahn , that I remember in bayern , was one with Real Madrid in the champions league 2004, Bremen 2004 and may be he made a mistake in bayern - juventus 2004. All of these, were errors, that i remember of Kahn in bayern.

It was few mistakes for his long career, but Neuer has made a lot of blunders with Schalke in the last two season and right now he has two in 5 games with bayern. He is a great GK, he shows that he can save many balls, but he tends to err many times. And I'm worried about it.

The defensive frailties are still there. That worries me.

Badstuber is still not good enough, Rafinha is excellent going forward but will be caught out at the back.
