Pre-match: (DFB Pokal: Quarterfinals) VfB Stuttgart gg. FC Bayern München 02.08.2012 [R]

Nice that Doofmund doesn't have to play a Bundesliga team until the final, DFB is just worried considering how much they flop during cup competitions

It'll be a tough tough match away at Gladbach. However, the fact that Kroos and Muller will play in their proper position, and that Ribery and Gustavo will be in the line up will definitely give us an edge.

The most encouraging thing in both the Stuttgart and the Kaiserslautern matches was that we were defending as a unit again. We cannot afford to give Gladbach any space since, as seen against Schalke, their link up play is superb! I'm happy we get to play Gladbach again since we have a score to settle with them. Also it gives us a bit of a practice against the one touch passing and pacy link up play, in case we do meet up with Barca later on.

Dont count robben out, although against dortmund he seems a bit useless.

nice...I was really hoping to draw BvB and get on with this...and then to draw away...sheesh

bring on gladbach... we need to put them down on their home soil. make it count by knocking them out of something.
