FC Bayern Forum

Benatia/Badstuber (in two moths), Javi, Boateng; That's the perfect f*ck you Madrid lineup right there.

what do you mean in 2 months? Badstuber already plays

He's not ready yet. Not by a long mile. Not against the bbc nbc cbs or whatever notable three letter acronym Bayern draws on Friday.

Bads started and played yesterday's entire match. Looks to me like he is ready to play at a high level.

Its . He is giving German classes now.

erm... I'm confused now. We are referring to Javi's goal against Chelsea, aren't we? A goal to make it 2-2 is not technically a match-winning one

I remember celebrating that goal so much it didn't even occur to me it was an equalizer. You're right technically, but that's as borderline as it gets to being a winner

I had actually missed that goal. I had watched up until Ribery's equaliser and then my friends dragged me out of the house. The next bit I saw was the penalties (at a kiosk in Sliema), so I just assumed that it had remained 1-1. I realised what had happened when I got back home.

Still cheered loudly though, I can assure you

Going to get his first minutes in the coming week according to Pep.

Can't wait to see him feature tomorrow!

Seeing him play is going to be amazing. I miss him ridiculously. He has been absolutely crucial for all of our triumphs in the recent seasons (for everything in the treble season, for the UEFA Supercup, for the DFB Pokal).

Welcome back.

I'm afraid I can't share the enthusiasm for Javi's return. Unfortunately, apart from 1-2 good games, he almost never looked comfortable or convincing in Pep's formations. His best days were in Jupp's system. I hope returns and becomes a success in the current team, but he has a lot to prove still. He is by no means a player who will make a significant improvement to Bayern immediately on his return.

I can. It's true that for a bulk of last season, he didn't look 100% comfortable but he's still a big game player and in crunch time he was still able to make an impact. The DFB Pokal final, the UEFA Supercup and even when he was brought on against Real Madrid, we looked much better. Muller can play like shit sometimes and he didn't always look comfortable last season either but when the big games come, he should be on the pitch. Rather than luck, I think it's to do with mentality.
