agreed, maybe get piggy some more minutes to get back in form more, but everyone else needs some rest
i would start Muller, Piggy, Gomez, and our defense without Lahm. Alaba should play and see if he can cross this time.
In my line up for Bremen, Butt Rafinha Boatage Bads contendo Tymo Schweinsteiger Usami Muller(Petersen at halftime) pranjic Olic
Why does Neuer need to be rested exactly? I'd start Gomez as well, and no reason for Petersen since Muller will be finding the bench vs Madrid. Hopefully Gomez can score 2-3 goals, I'd prefer he scores the 30 goal margin he just missed on last year...
I thought JH made some more sensible decisions with today's match. The boys should be very fresh for Real Madrid, whereas they may have a bit of a problem.
My only worry is that all three of our holding mids played 90 minutes on saturday. They are going to be the most important players for this match.
So now do FCB rotate in order to practice with their CL team? Or do they play the players with yellows every game anyway (Bads, Gustavo, Alaba)? Will be interesting to see what Heynckes does in these last 2 "practice" matches.
I think he'll use the best 11 for the pokal.. But I wonder if he'll try to use the squad and tactic for Chelsea on the last BL match.. Might be a good idea to test it out and get our players used to it before the final...
I don't know where you got this from, Heynckes is no fool. Though he makes mistakes, just like any other coach.
I wonder who sits for tomorrow's match. The last chance to rest some stars/defense, as the next two matches after this are of utmost importance.
I am wondering if it might be a good idea to play the koln the same lineup and formation we would against Chelsea... It could make a huge difference in having that real game experience and testing...
