Well, with Robben's injury it'S very likely your wish will be fulfilled against Augsburg already... If he's really the one Guardiola wanted -I think he might even consider starting him - depending on his first few training impressions...

To us he was always more important than that and served as a type of sweeper, that happened to play on the right rather than the middle.
Declining or not, he is the immensily superior option for the RB position, but having now transitioned to a post-Basti, post-Ribery era and having something of a post-Robben option as well, it might be time to think heavily for the post-Lahm era as well.

Used to play as a sweeper. That's the key word. Not anymore. Can anyone help us with the number of touches or something? He used to be second-third in the team under both Jupp and Pep. Now I think there's a possibility he's second-last. He's not a central part of the buildup, he's usually doing backward passes or joining the midfield and getting into the box. Now I don't see the benefit of having the worst finisher in the box and the whole right flank exposed - but that's just me

@jancker we haven't really played false nines for any sort of extended period since Pep arrived... He tried it these season, but that was clearly done to: 1. afford a few minutes to Götze + Müller on their natural position (Pep regards Götze as a false nine/SS) 2. To develop a plan C en case Lewy is injured, tired or out of form. He also tried Ribery on S01 but abandoned that pretty quickly.
Also, we are not using overlapping wings ATM, just regular orthodox wingers dribbling and crossing by themselves. Whoever thinks our current form is due to a return to overlapping wings is just trying to force the Jupp-golden-age-thinking again.
