Bayern München vs Borussia Moenchengladbach and Tobias Welz - Spieltag 17 Thread

Hey Woody. Whats with the story with your avatar? You got the wrong emblem there

 

thinking of taking the day off to watch this game tomorrow!

 

I'm pretty eager to watch this game. That'd be my starting lineup

Starke*
Lahm-Boateng-Dante-Alaba
Schweinsteiger-Martínez**
Müller-Kroos-Ribéry
Gomez***

* I wish Starke in goal against either Augsburg or BMG. He's a great guy, a very good goalkeeper and an absolute professional. Plus I heard Neuer had a cold this week.

**In case Martínez isn't match fit it would be best to go with Tymoshchuk. I know what you're thinking "eeww not him" but the alternative would be Kroos in the defensive midfield and Shaqiri in the middle. For one it would screw up all the automatisms in the offensive midfield and more importantly the Swiss is still a freaking turnover machine which wouldn't be very beneficial against a counter attacking team like BMG.

* **I expect Mandzukic but I'd prefer Gomez

 

Nothing but a win would be acceptable here..

I hope Gomez gets more time and would like to see more shaq time..

If we are comfortable hopefully we can rest more players for Tuesday and get our bench more involved..

 

The B team is likely to play on Tuesday, so expect the best team tomorrow.

 

I expect us to go with full force hence is the last game of the season (except for the pokal)...

And please, no more Mandzukic starting FFS !! He's been playing like crap for at least 4-5 games in a row ... It's time for the real Mario to start !!

Mein Score-Tipp: 2x0 FCB

woodythenetminder, on your take on Robben not being an reliable PK taker, actually his scorer tally is 12/14 ... Unfortunally, he missed the 2 most importants ...

 

I was gonna say the same thing. But he's almost forgiven for the Loewe for his respect for FCB.

 

Hopefully another classic like this!

Woody! Welcome back. I haven't seen you post in quite some time. You still scouting overseas? Or just in the States? You can PM the response if you wish.

 

Very, very unlikely. Gladbach are back to being very tough to score against, and we can score out of nothing. Favre and the team know how to absorb Bayern's pressure; and players like Arango with his magnificent left foot or Herrmann with his speed are dangerous threats even with 30% possession.
I expect a very compact Gladbach looking for "Nadelstiche", and a rather cautious and patient Bayern team. The first team to score probably wins the game. 70% on Bayern, but it might just look like last year; Bayern attacking without being really dangerous, Gladbach scoring from one of the few, but dangerous attacks, and killing the game.

 

Meh we lost the last two games against Gladbach because of Neuer and his two mistakes so i hope he won't do anything stupid tonight.

 

Every team loses because of mistakes; and 11 players can make lots of mistakes in 90 minutes.
Gladbach would lead the table with 48 points, if we hadn't made several mistakes. However, we're quite deadly in making use of mistakes.

 

Neuer, Lahm, Boateng, Dante, Alaba, Javi Martinez, Schweinsteiger, T. Müller, Kroos, Ribery,Mandzukic

 

Very solid.,

Lets end the year with a high note.

 

Ter Stegen - Jantschke, Brouwers, Stranzl, Wendt - Marx, Nordtveit - Arango, Cigerci - Herrmann, Hanke

 

it's a dick in the back..........

 

Well, as long as Neuer doesn't "Tango with Arango" outside the penalty box, we shouldn't have any problem. Plus, the absence of Reus and his quickness, which hurt us big last season, can only help us.

 

Sorry Gladbach, but you'll get your ass kicked tonight !!!!!

The reason why Mario Gomez isn't in the starting XI is beyond me !!! Heeeeeeynckes !!!!

 

Yeah, I would've thought the 'Mez would've gotten the start. Well, he'll come on in 60th and score a hattrick!
