FC Bayern Forum

Muller is having fun out there. Literally.

Lovely hit by Ribery, good show of how throwing so many men in attacking midfield can pay off.

Pretty guy makes it 2-0.

Huh, that was good sweepin'-keepin' by Neuer, but the through ball was more reminiscent of the van Gaal, not the Jupp days.

Anyway, our passing is fine so far, don't see what the complaining is about.

Stole the words right out of my mouth.

I had read that Lahm is playing as DM in this match... now I'm hearing he is RW/RAM!! Which one is it?!
I can't see the match...

And if Lahm isn't the Sechser, then who is? Kroos again??

Wow! Plz Pep dont move Martinez to CB, play him as the DM cause its quite evident what happens when you dont have an anchor in a 4-1-4-1

We are playing some weird formation with Lahm as AMC and Kroos as DMC.

Just got to watch the last 5 min of the first half, how are we playing? anyone of our players above the rest in performance?

I'm not sure what to think about this formation. I see some promising things, but over all, this pretty much ruins what was probably the best thing about the team last year - solid defensive game. Not to mention we have a MASSIVE central midfield with Martinez/Gustavo/Schweini/Kroos, probably the best in Europe, something we won't take advantage of.

Not playing Martinez / Gustavo is a HUGE mistake. We don't have either in the team right now, so I'm hoping this is just temporary.

But then again based on the system I see emerging here, one of our CMFs from last year will have to be sacrificed. With this system, we have Ribery, Robben, Shaqiri, Gotze, Kroos, Schweini, Martinez, Gustavo and most probably Thiago for 5 positions. Not putting Muller there, cause I'm pretty sure he'll be playing CF. As a CAM I don't see Schweini being a better alternative than Gotze / Kroos, and as a destroyer, I don't see him being better than Martinez / Gustavo.

Some good things about this system, but I can't see us making this work efficiently enough in the next 2-4 weeks to beat Dortmund. Our current defensive game is just perfect for (a team like) Dortmund.

Kroos is captain for 2nd half.

Kroos was also captain in the first half. A tribute for being a Rostock product, it seems.
