Agreed, he prefers midfielder to LB, but he was immense their last season, so might not get a choice in the matter!

let's loan the girlish kroos and allow alaba in the midfield with schveiny ! :twisted:

we are killing alaba's potential if we keep him in LB !! :evil:

Although Kroos runs around like a girl, ( :lol:

) you can't just place Alaba in midfield, he's still young and has a long way to go, plus he's already awesome at his LB spot..

Damn! Alaba as LB was the only good thing coming out of last season.

The goalkeeper "ate" the freekick.

The Walkout kids look as old as the players.

Interesting. Kroos takes most corner kicks and free kicks from the left now but since Bayern started playing inverted wingers they seldom swing the corner kicks out, so having Kroos taking the corner kicks from the right never crossed my mind but it is an intriguing.

Just saw the goal by Alaba. :shock:

Noice.

Well, having wingers taking corners using the opposite foot didn't really worked out last year, so we should try something different.I really can't recall the last time we scored from corner kick, but I can recall the 20 non-effective corner kicks in CL final

i don't deny that Alaba is doing great as a LB but he can do far better in midfield with ribery or shaqiri !! he usualy proves it with the national Osterreich team !

For unknown reasons Alaba plays very well on the center for Austria but looked lost the few times he played on the center for Bayern. It will be interesting to see how the whole thing unfolds in the next coming years. Most likely Alaba does not want to specialize as a LB and Contento -who is an specialized LB- won't be "contento" sitting on the bench.

Alaba needs to remain versatile, and his free kick on Tuesday proved he can be!

Austria doesn't monopolize possession and Alaba can use his pace there. Bayern do and his pace isn't as useful on the middle.

I think at LB he's shown to be a very instinctive player who handles pressure defending and attacking well.

Whereas at CM for us when he's got time on the ball while in possession, he's been a bit wasteful. But they only way for him to improve is more game time at CM, but I think he could find that he'll be at LB for a good bit of the Season!

The only way i see Alaba not playing as a LB is if Contento impresses Jupp in a big way....

FCBayernMunchen · by **FCBayernMunchen** » Thu Jul 12, 2012 5:34 pm

Contento is a great LB and very talented, but I think he has a lot of room for improvement when attacking. Maybe we should loan him out...

For now, I hope Alaba will remain our LB. He is a balanced fullback, kind of our second Lahm. Maybe he will not keep playing there for the rest of his career, that is a decision made by him and his coaches, but for now I hope he stays there.
