Ok, I hate the fact that Gomez will not start this one

@Bundesliga_GOAL: BREAKING: @FCBayern striker Mario #Gomez has been ruled out of tonight's clash in Kazakhstan. Match preview: http://t.co/EFflpFbQyK

Damn! Hopefully its nothing serious and he will be back for the Hamburg or Juventus game....

I think the plan is to break their physical but unskillful backline with quick pass combinations, thinking that they are going to park a 3 deck bus. Expect Gomez to jump in in for the last 30 min if not 45. At the end this is just a prediction, he might start as well.

Mario Gomez has injured his Thigh and will miss this game

Leaving Löw without a real 9

What kind of defence are you expecting? Hummels and Badstuber are injured you know.

I dont like the idea of Gotze in attack, I dont know why they are trying to make him play like Messi. He is Gotze, let him play in midfield...

It'll be Müller, because come on.

Pity about Gomez, but now I'm quite interested in watching this match just to see what happens. As long as they don't take a 4-goal lead...

Yeah, I was expecting Gomez to get himself some needed match practice and a couple of good goals. Anyhow, it will be interesting to see the false 9 tactic which has been ridiculously talked about in the past week by the media. One thing is for sure, Keissling will be praying that this plan fails.

Howedes and Mertsucker are the starting CBs
Draxler starts on the left not Podolski

What the hell is Podolski doing in the starting lineup? Just put Schürrle or Reus in his place and it will be a very interesting lineup even though I think that Schürrle, Reus and even Podolski could play the false 9 role better than Götze

Reus is suspended for this game, hence, Podolski.

Any official lineup news?

"breaking news:" Lineup same as BILD but Draxler starting instead of Podolski. Good decision.

Why is Draxler playing ahead of German footballer of the year Reus?

2 posts up, mate.

We'll see how Draxler adjusts to playing out wide for Germany.
