HT: 0-0 Team is clearly not trying enough which makes sense. I think they will get tired 2nd half and we will win 2 or 3-0. Neither team is playing all that well, Braunschweig just trying a lot harder than us. Also, I hope this ref starts pulling out yellows since all they keep doing is hacking us down. I think it would be best to put Mandzukic on at half time for this game. Maybe Muller out wide for Robbery and Kroos in the middle and move Goetze out wide so Robbery 2 is also rested a bit.
wasn't able to start watching until 44th min... some observations purely based on that and lineup selections: a) is Pep playing around again (yawn!) with a back 3???? b) Braunschweig are fighting relegation, so it is no shock they are putting up a fight. This time of year, you almost rather have those teams middle of the table we are secured... just not relegation or CL spot contenders. c) saw highlights of two awesome chances for Bayern. The goal seems only a matter of time.
Without having seen the game yet, I am sure the opposition is having something to say about this. Plus Schweini has not been in good form with accuracy recently, but that is a hunch not an observation based on previous matches. I cracked up when ESPN soccernet did a pre-World Cup top XI and Schweini was in the CM spot. Have any of them been watching this year? Ribery excluded naturally since Messi and Rinaldo.
Ribs lacks confidence, he beat him on pace.. then he slows it down and turns around and loses the ball. Just shoot it.
That should of been a yellow for Schweini. I think this ref forgot his cards at home Their theatrics are starting to really get on my nerves
Again, Schweini late on a challenge. He has become the Toni Kroos of this year... that was Kroos' thing all last year... late to every challenge. (That is when he was actually make a challenge).
3 Bayern players to ground inside 30 seconds of play... send off the Brownies Herr Blondie had a two for one on that play.
