[Trim]

My player ratings:

Kahn - 6 // If there wasn't Kahn, we'd have probably been 5-0 down. He made some tremendous saves. He'd have got a higher rating if he didn't concede the goals, although it wasn't his fault in both of the goals conceded.

Lell - 3 // Average display, only showed off his real strength in the last 5-10 minutes of the match.

Lucio - 3 // Didn't do good at all, he should have done much better, and reacted much better on the goal actions. He let too much space for the Stuttgart players.

van Buyten - 3 // Same like Lucio, as a CB he is, he should have done much better.

Lahm - 3 // Un-noticed, poor performance. God damn it, where the f*ck is the Lahm of World Cup?

Santa Cruz - 5 // S.Cruz had an alright performance. I liked his moves, but nothing came from it. His passings were kinda poor, and he possesed the ball too much (to loose it after a few secs) and that pissed me off. Oh well, you can't replace Schweini easy.

Hargreaves - 5,5 // Hargreaves was the one who controled midfield this time, he was the best midfielder on the field I should say. His passes were always correct, but unfortunately they didn't bring anything.

van Bommel - 4,5 // Mark usually does better, much better actually. I was surprised with his weak performance today. He's usually our midfield boss as he does better than all other midfielders, but today he wasn't our best midfielder. Dissapointing.

Salihamidzic - 4 // Brazo with an average performance, another surprise, as he usually does much better. I expected a lot of crosses from him, passes and possibly shots, but he dissapointed.

Makaay - 2 // Horrible performance, totally crap. He seems to be afraid from defenders, what the f*ck is that? Why does he keep passing the ball back to defence? God damn it, go forward, attack!

Podolski - 2 // Just like Makaay, horrible, crap performance. Just a shadow of himself, god damn it. What more, he was unable to control himself, after Magnin provocated him often. Poldi got a yellow card, and Merk even warned him he'd send him off if he continues. But Hitzfeld didn't let that happen, as Poldi was substituted in half-time pause.

Pizarro - 7 // Hitzfeld should have started him from the begin. I don't know why he keeps selecting Podolski over Pizarro, I just can't understand. Maybe Podolski does better in training, but come on, we all saw Podolski the whole season, just a shadow of himself. Well done Pizza today, and thank you for the performance. Unlucky not to get a goal, as he had a few good chances. He had a lot more chances than Poldi and Makaay together. Bayern looked different since Pizarro got in the pitch. If he started from the 1st minute, I'm sure things would have been different. I usually don't pick Bayern's Man of the Match after horrible performances, but I make rare expections, and this is one of them. Pizza - FCB Man of the Match.
