HSV have become a very solid team, defensively and offensively and are probably the most consistent side in the league besides us.

Hitzfeld will probably go with this line up:

---------------------Kahn------------------------

Sagnol-------Lucio-----Micho/VB----------Lahm

-------------MvB------Ze Roberto--------------

Altintop----------------------------Schweinsteiger

----------Klose-----------Toni--------------------

Predictable and undesired by many but thats what we'll most likely see in such an important game. Let's hope we can avoid another late equalizer from HSV, that was quite deflating the last time around.

No chance Ribéry will start?:confused: Is he still injured? Not good.

It's still day to day.

Lets ride this UEFA blow out and win

I agree with FR thats probably the lineup

I would like Kroos to start again tho

We'll probably have to wait another 2-3 games to see him play again.

Any word on GolTV time???

==============

I just want to see Bayern not take their foot-off-the-gas, and continue their run of scoring lately. This is going to be the most important match IMO of this Bundesliga campaign. It was a draw in Hamburg in the first half of the season, right? I just see Hamburg being the more dangerous of the 'pursuers' at this stage in the Bundesliga. Bremen will implode internally and Schalke, well, their trevails are fully documented. Bayer04 is the dark horse in that mix, but my money is on HSV to be the main challengers.

I have the feeling he will come on off the bench if he doesn't start.

11am LIVE as usual. Between GTV and p2p I haven't missed a televised match this season (oh, and working at home helps too).

You always have this feeling. :cool:

I really want Poldi to start. He has been really performing up to expectations every time he is on the field lately. The man deserves to play after that UEFA cup performance.

Poldi did have a really good performance in the UEFA Cup yesterday, but he may be a bit fatigued for the HSV game. I was thinking give Miro the start and sub Poldi in either at half or after an hour depending on the circumstances. I could be completely wrong and he may be fully recovered for the match, but I am thinking he might be a bit tired since he has not started many(any?) matches this season.

[ForeverRed]

I don't think Podolski will be fatigued at all. In fact, I think he is even more hungry to play. Players nowadays are more fit than ever and Podolski has barely seen any playing time this season. He is more than fine I'm sure, and should start on Sunday.

[TheBoss84]

For podolski with such litlle playing time fatigue isnt even a word for him. As FR said he is on fire and will use any opportunity always giving his best. If he continues like this he could become a very succesfull striker.

with ribery out, and counting schweinsteiger as out (as I thought he'd be when i wrote that), that leaves altintop, sosa and kroos.

[Der Eiserne Kanzler]

It will be a tough game for Bayern as it always is against Hamburg. HSV has won the last two games at Allianz 2-1, and, historically, HSV has been a thorn in Bayern's side. It will be a great. epic batttle of North-South Germany-- the salty, Hanseatic "free" port city of Hamburg versus the mountainous, land-locked, former monk settled city of gemütlichkeit München. Actually, it is more easily summed up as the Plisner vs. Lager battle! Can't wait... FC Bayern, Stern des Südens!!

[TheBoss84]

Great match cant wait. ESPN latinamerica will broadcast it. It seems that Ribery will return in time. Schweinsteiger seems to be out tough hopefully Kroos gets the start.
