Could be an interesting lineup in light of the current injury situation and the case of the "lockerroom flu" going around. What is your predictions? Would be nice to see some new faces just to give the lads some valuable experience, but I doubt much will change. Sagnol and Scholl not being available will hurt. Is anyone in yellow card trouble yet?? Probable Lineup: ..................Kahn Kuffour..Lucio..Demichelis..Brazzo .................Ballack Hargreaves.............. Ze Roberto .................Frings ........Makaay....... Pizarro Substitutions will be Guerraro (Pizarro), Schweinsteiger (Ze), Deisler possibly.
I prefer if we played some of the younger boys instead of the experiened guys seeing that we already qualified for the last 16
Sooooooo... something like this? ................Rensing Kuffour...Lucio...Demichelis...Brazzo ................Ballack Hargreaves..........Schweinsteiger ................Frings .........Makaay...Guerrero
pretty much but also guys like Ottl, Semler and Stienhofer that have been good in the reserves, they should get atleast 15 mints. although i dont think that they are registered to play in the CL
................Rensing Kuffour...Lucio...Demichelis...Hargreaves ................Ballack .Schweinsteiger.........ZeRoberto ................Frings .........Makaay...Guerrero Brazzo is out till new year due to the surgery. Don't understand why we have a plague on both side defenders
id like to see deisler and schweini start... id also like ballack to play and not interrupt the confidence hes building... maybe give frings a rest and go with ________________ballack deisler________________________big ze (anybody seen 'city of god' ;-)) ________________schweini i think maybe guererro should start, but i like him coming off the bench and the impetus he provides, so probably best to keep it that way... defense seems to be a big problem and especially with the game against stuttgart in mind... maybe kuffour kovac demi rau (how come nobody wants him to start? or is he injured?) so thats my team... ________________________kahn kuffour________kovac_____________martin___________rau _______________________ballack deisler_________________schweini_________________big ze _______________makaay__________pizarro subs in: hargreaves, guererro, trochowski... PS - IMPORTANT: i just saw that ive received 'reputation from some of you here. now while i dont know what that is, it sure as hell sounds good, so id like to say thank you
My team is Rensing Kuffour-------Lucio-------Demichelis--------Rau Deisler------------Ballack----------------Ze Roberto -------------Schweinsteiger -----------Guerrrero------Makaay Bring on Pizarro if we can't score.
I think Magath will rest Makaay on the second half, so Pizzaro and Guerrrero will play together. Also, he might take ze roberto out and switch Schweinsteiger to the left side and bring on Deisler. Other probability is Ballack will make way for deisler, deisler likes to play the MC, so why not give him a chance to prove himself. We need to rest some key players for the vital match against Stuttgart. if we lose, stuttgart and schalke04 will run over our face I'd love to see Bayern amateur side visit amsterdam though it's impossible
-------------Rensing Kuffour---Lucio---Demichellis---Ze Roberto -------------Ballack Hargreaves---------------Schweinsteiger -------------Frings ---------Pizzaro---Makaay Subs: Guerrero for Makaay, Rau for Schweini (and switch Ze to LM), and Deisler for Hargreaves.
I do like your bravery in putting Ze Roberto in the back, but man... I just being another Roberto Carlos. Too much attact and not enough defense. You make a good case with your substitutions though. Nice. This lineup might work if they focus Ballack defensively more to the left to help he and Demichelis to cover for Ze Roberto, and playing Hargreaves a little deeper with Frings pinching more right. ...................Rensing Kuffour...Lucio..Demichelis..Ze Roberto ........................Ballack Hargreaves ................................Schweinsteiger ...............Frings ...........Pizarro.......... Makaay
Another thing we have not mentioned here as far as lineups go is Magath's tendancy to play with one lone striker (Makaay) in any away fixtures in the CLS. He did this in Israel and Italy. Now I know this was prior to the team playing as well as it has been of late, but with the current injury crisis, this could be a strong possibility. Thus, alternate "away" lineup would feature two defensive midfielders: ......................Kahn Kuffour......Lucio......Demichelis......????? .........Hargreaves......Ballack Schweini..........Frings...........Ze Roberto ........................................................ .....................Makaay
i heard magath said hes giong to play a blineup and give those a chance to pla who dont play much so i think hashemian is starting thats wha ti read
He must produce this match if he plays.If not he's finished from Bayern.He wont be given another chance.
I really hope that we donot see Hargreaves at LB (Dont forget the Leverkusen match) in either of these matches. Magath should change the formation to a 3-5-2 so that he doesn't need to worry about the fact that every single one of our outside backs is injured. ---------------Kahn -----Kuffour---Lucio---Demichellis ------Hargreaves---Ballack Schweinsteiger---------Ze Roberto ---------------Frings ----------Pizzaro---Makaay
From FCB site Probable line ups: Ajax Amsterdam: Vonk - Trabelsi, Grygera, Escudé, Maxwell - de Jong, Sneijder, Galasek - Rosales, Anastasiou, van der Vaart Bayern Munich: Kahn - Kuffour, Kovac, Lucio (Demichelis), Rau - Hargreaves, Ballack, Frings - Deisler - Pizarro, Makaay actually kinda surprised on the lineup. I guess they have not totally given up on Rau.
Very interesting. I am not too suprised at Rau's inclusion... he has been getting a fair amount of time on the reserves and doing quite well. I am not convinced yet on Deisler in the middle. Looks as though his midfield of Owen-Michael-Torsten will be a more defensive force thus allowing the Deisler-Makaay-Pizarro threesome do the lion share of attacking. I expect Magath to grind this one down to a draw and try to slip one in at the last possible chance. Would like to see Rensing, Schweinsteiger, and Guerrero personally.
im glad to see rau given a start... (it does sound like hes starting based on the latest report on fcb.de almost forgot about hashemian... id like to see him play too... the lineup (probably) is almost as i expect/want it... would like to see schweini start and one of frings/ballack given a rest personally, i dont care if we lose badly... we should start all the fringe players we can, and if they do well, nothing like it.. if they dont, oh well, im sure we have the mental strength to not let it affect us
Is anyone aware of a webstream for this game? As great as bigsoccer play-by-play is, I'm dying to see it for myself.
Bayern site will at least have web radio(english) off of their site http://www.fcbayern.t-com.de/en/index.php?fcb_sid=afb0c37ef02ab4a06429301aef112b3b
Game is on Lineups for Bayern Bayern Munich: Kahn - Kuffour, Kovac, Demichelis, Rau - Hargreaves, Ballack, Frings - Deisler - Pizarro, Makaay Deisler will be behind strikers 1' already a shot by Bayern (Ballack)
