3-2 Napoli
Mario and pizzaro didnt make an impact ,they're rather slow on the ball. Can disappointed me hes not the player to rely on

in conclusion we need Javi or a player like him

for god sake its a friendly, no Neuer/Lahm/Badstuber/Boeteng. Mandzukic has played in the euros cut him some slack 'kin ell...this is just about fitness, we are still without 9 internationals, and oh yeah.....ITS A FRIENDLY

cracking couple of goals form us though, esp Shaq's

I dont think you'll ever like Mandzukic, hope he bags double figures next season to probe you wrong, lay off the guy geez.

This. And to be honest I think he could have blocked that shot.

Anyway not only should we not panic about this loss, I'll go as far as insisting that it's a good result. We've seen a couple of great goals from our youngsters (one from a FK which we were all dying to see) and some good attacking play. Our defenders had a few bright moments too, mainly Dante, Contento and Starke, but all of them were mostly bad throughout the game. Still, we can draw some positives from this game and that is all that matters right now. Drawing negatives is also important from such a meaningless game. We will have to make sure to improve on that next game.

1) Our offense was good, but the defense let us down. I expected a bit more from the defenders, but if we are honest we are never going to end up in a situation where all 4 defenders and the GK are out at the same time.
2) Pizarro seems to be more dangerous than Mandzukic
3) The need for a midfielder is justifying itself. Perhaps this will convince the board to look at other options.

Highlight of the day (from a Bayern fan's point of view):

What a goal... Quite similar to Alaba's freekick against Unterhacking.

The XXX inspired soundtrack is hilarious.

Bayern's defense of late. hopefully we can solve some problems.
