FC Bayern München vs Borussia Dortmund [R]

[BMike86]

Lets see what will happen this match now that we have the double wrapped up. Will we see more of Ottl, will Hargreaves and Santa Cruz reappear in the starting formation, will Ballack be benched? will dos Santos finally get a shot?

I'm am fairly interested now in seeing what will happen next week when Dortmund comes strolling into Munich. If I could pick the formation I'd like to see this.

--------------Makaay-----Pizarro---------------
-------------------Santa Cruz------------------
--Ze Roberto--------------------Schweinsteiger-
------------------Hargreaves-------------------
----Lahm------Lucio-----Ismael----Sagnol-------

I'd like to see Lizarazu come off the bench for his final match ever, I'd like to see dos Santos subbed for Pizarro or Makaay, whichever striker is doing worse sub him out and move Santa Cruz up and have dos Santos play attacking mid. And if we need any firepower brought in then Scholl for Schweini

Ottl did not play too well although credit to him for that goal mouth pounce.

I think as many as the existing and exiting players will deserve a playtime.

We shall draw a conclusion to the season's finale and leave the hardfeelings behind!

[BayernWake]

Just to keep things amiable, I think Ballack should get some playing time.

ballack will get some playing time,im sure of that. it will be his last game and the team and magath will want to give him a decent goodbye, which he deserves. i doubt he will get the full 90 minutes though...

[Bayerntone]

If that's the case, Ballack will surface in the closing phase of the match.

[ShaRule]

I think some players will rest and Karimi,Dos Santos will play..because karimi's back

jonam and I will be at the Allianz Arena for this match.

Forgive my lateness, but please accept my congratulations on Bayern repeating the domestic double. As much complaining as I've seen on these boards in recent months, most of it well deserved, Bayern still did the domestic double.

Again, CONGRATS!!

Why thank you, very gracious and dginified of you sir.

Wish I could be at the stadium for this game but I got finals coming up.

footy, why don't you take note on what the Munchen fans really think of Ballack first hand, I can't imagine its as harsh as some people on these boards are.

[BMike86]

supposedly kehl is out for dortmund's backline so we might see Metzelder reintroduced into the starting lineup for the yellow and black. im sure footy has more of an idea who would replace kehl tho

[AllReD]

To Magath:

why why why why why:confused:

why start ballack, send him on as a sub in stopage time. He'll get his round of boos and applause and then we can close this chapter.

i would really like to see something besides this weak ass diamond formation. Come on magath smoke weed or opimum if u have to just do something creative and give as a glismp into the future.

With poldolski a lock why not try a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-2-2 or something, anything please im begging here.


And for goodness sake dont prove what an ass you are by bringin on Makaay as a sub,OK

now be a good boy and try something innovative.

From you number 1 fan

Metzelder was already back in the starting lineup in place of Brzenska. Brzenska took the place of the suspended Woerns for the Frankfurt match on Saturday.

If Kehl cannot go on Saturday, his replacement will be 18 year-old Marc Andre Kruska.

[BMike86]

Well, no longer need to even think about Metzelder because the other day supposedly in a WC practice he tore his calf muscle. He will definately be out for Dortmund against us this weekend. Hopefully he will be healthy when WC comes around, he has, or atleast had the talent but definately has been plagued by injuries throughout his career.

Yes. I fear Saturday will just be an all around gala for you guys! :o

Metzelder and amateurs Hunemeier and Heitmeier are injured along with Woerns being suspended.

The center of our defense may just be a gaping hole......

according to dsf teletext kringe and degen will be playing in central defense.

[ForeverRed]

Yea right, just when you think itll be easy for Bayern they'll struggle against a bunch of youngsters that are going to look to prove themselfs against already crowned german champions.

[BMike86]

umm...come on guys, they have a gaping hole between their defense. We need to capitalize on this and destroy Dortmund 3-0!!! We need to proove that we werent some average bloke all year!!! Of course we don't need this one but this one is also Ballack's send off as well. I will be interested in the highlights to see if he will be whistled off in his last match in a Bayern outfit. I wonder if he will have his "throat infection" bother him enough not to play Saturday. I guess if you suck a good one you do get paid well in return :p **cough**chelsea**cough**

[Chris in SoCal]

Will we trotting out the new white kit tomorrow? Seems like that is somewhat of a tradition at the last home match of each season.

Here's hoping for a fantastic send-off to our retiring heroes, Jerry & Lizza!

[Bayern4Life]

I guess Ballack doesn't deserve that fantastic send-off?!?!?! He's helped out a lot this season.

if i was there i would definately cheer for him. i don't like him as much as i used to since the Milan legs, but i loved him since coming from leverkusen so all i would do if i was there is show him respect and how i appreciated him being here. with that being said, i dont care what happens to him after this world cup.

[BMike86]
