[MUTU]

If you want to play a fullback as a winger, the obvious choice is Kimmich. He's not the fastest around and not the greatest dribbler, but boy can he cross the ball?

Anything which does not start both Ribery and Robben together is fine by me

I haven't been following bayern lately, just curious who are the keyplayers now?

Hummels and Kimmich in defense. Neuer (when fit) in goal.

Thomas, Robert and Robben/Ribery in attack.

James, Thiago and Martinez in midfield.

[MUTU]

We need to promote a central defender following Boateng's injury.

I wonder if we will go for the U19 captain Mai or whether we'll go for FC Bayern II's Goetze.

Hummels is our best defender. Kimmich is a very good right back.

Martinez has been rocking the midfield again. James Rodriguez is our fantastic creative player.

Up front, big names but nothing to write home about. Still the same old Robbery, Müller, Lewandowski.

Not trying to start a lengthy James discussion yet again but not exactly like he tore out trees yesterday...

Fair enough but he was involved in the goal, wasn't he?

Robéry was a 3 or 3,5, Boa went out too soon, think he looked solid up to that point...

The problem you top team yellers don’t get: the RM ones would not look much better... But they GOT THE JOB DONE... IN ONE LEG... AWAY... AGAIN!!!

So was Müller...

Thing is, had the roles been reversed, i.e. we played an away match and won 2-1 against the run of play, you'd still have brought your doom and gloom and talked about how lucky we were etc.

It's far from over in one leg but I hope they think so too.

That's just the point. We seem to expect each round to be concluded in the first leg. Had we won we'd still have a lot of work to do next week and now that lost it's not over yet. Judging by yesterday 2-1 or 3-1 or even 2-0 is not that unrealistic.

Mind you, there's a very good chance we won't turn it around. Real were favourites before yesterday and they're even bigger favourites now. Doesn't mean the game was already over after 1 game, it would just mean they finished the job they started.

Well, there’s been a bunch of people here saying we were the better team last year and Kassai ruined it - by that logic, Real were the far better team yesterday...
From a technical point of view we were the better team - that IS what’s so infuriating!! Cause we always always always make tge same mistakes... Look it up: it was still 1-0 for quite a while when I posted it was always the same yesterday and that we would soon concede... This time, we didn’t even make it to half time - which led to us being able to get our heads together and up, go out and fire it up again, and at least score one more to take a still bad result to Madrid... Instead we fucked up AGAIN and are now taking an impossible result... AGAIN...

If this was the first leg AT MADRID and we would take a fugly win at 2-1 I would POINT OUT to you overoptimistic dreamers that it was lucky, yes... But I wouldn’t be criticizing (that) much...
You’re talking about inferior teams cause there is no way you could know... Wanna know why? Cause we never beat a good team away ever since you've known me!

With that squad? It’s over!

Had we won 2-1 there (like that would ever happen...) we would still have to be cautious, but anything but participation in the final would be a HUGE upset, blow, embarrassment and even surprise...
We never turn these games around, let alone away, at the Bernabeu, so all there is are rallying calls yet again...

Well yeah it’s not de facto over - but there’s about as much hope - and nothing but hope! - left as there is of me winning the lottery - and I don’t play the lottery...
