Or he wants him to get used to playing higher up...just like Alves did in Barca

doubt it. Lahm's defensive capabilities are mostly down to his phenomenal tackling ability, but his interception game is nowhere near the level of Martinez and Gustavo... or Schweini, for that matter. I think he's still an offensive element in that midfield rather than a defensive one.

case in point - that run.

Robben and Muller switched positions today...

what happened to schweinsteiger? Is he still unfit to play or what?

Barca is more dangerous now than in the CL semifinal.

It was not a good game by Bayern in the first half to be honest, considering Barca's linuep. But if a bad game means you lead 1-0 and the opponents don't even threaten to score, I'm happy about it.

Good poacher finish from Mandzukic!

Bayern got boring, where is your fast transition football?

Average game,easy win!
I'm satisfied but we need to step up as time goes by and Pep decides a "certain" formation.

P.S:Shaq attack,if this guys goes to Liverpool,they can easily grap a CL ticket as 4th place.much class and room for improvement.

We're saving it up for you.

cheer up guys this is only July for Haven's sake... the players still need to adopt to a new philosophy... We are still experimenting!
I am reading complaints ... and we won 2-0 vs Barca - OK they had at least 8-9 players missing but they are still Barca.
9-0 in three games in three months - average goal 3 goals in a month

As the season goes I will remind you of what I said in the chat. Not every player will get enough playing time and not everyone will be happy and I mean the important players like Kroos, Thiago and Gotze, not likes of Contento, Pizarro or Rafinha. You think you may rotate all you like but Guardiola wants Bayern to play fluent passing game and that is not going to happen if he will be rotating 3-4 players every game. It won't work this way.

Discussing it is pointless right now, thats why I will remind you of that after couple of months and show you that some very good players played very little. I think it will be Kroos who plays the least out of Thiago/Gotze/Kroos trio.

There is one thing that can cause me not being right - 1 or 2 important players will get injured at the same time, then you won't have a "problem". But with no injuries it will be near impossible to keep everyone happy.
