Can't wait. Just only that every team out there has something to prove only to Bayern. Why don't teams have anything to prove to Werder or Shalke. Damn bastards.

Yes! Trim thats the right Formation for us, If Klose will not recovred from his injury, I would like to see the 4-2-3-1 Formation Line-up:

Butt
Oddo, Lucio, Demichelis, Lahm
Ze Roberto - Borowski
Schweinsteiger - Kroos - Ribery
Toni

Munchen Minded · 20-09-2008, 06:46 PM

I just hope JK makes changes similar to the lineup just mentioned. We have to see Butt instead of Rensing in goal, especially in a DFB Pokal game, and from now on we have to see Oddo and Borowski in the lineup. Period. With Ribery back he is guaranteed. I know that Micho and Lucio will pick their ass up after the drubbing we got against Werder, and everyone else looks good. I don't think a single striker solution would be great, as we have seen both Toni and Klose as single strikers for their country and it didn't look pretty, but hell, since Poldi is a fucking shit ass bastard striker at the moment we basically only have 2 good strikers and playing them both at the same time we risk one getting injured.

One added comment, WHY IN THE FUCK DOES POLDI COMPLAIN ABOUT PLAYING WHEN EVERYTIME HE GETS ON THE PITCH HE JUST LOOKS AND STINKS LIKE SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!

Give him a chance to prove himself, He had an experiense...
I'm giving up in Rensing, He is unimproving goal keeper, In winter transfers we should sign a goalkeeper! Timo Hilderbrand will be a good choice.

Munchen Minded · 21-09-2008, 07:10 PM

I agree to give Butt a chance. Butt has much more experience than Rensing. The only reason why Resning keeps playing is because they don't want to look like fools promising that Rensing will be the number one. and it is obvious Bayern were daydreaming a little from last season how Adler of Bayer became an outstanding young keeper, so Bayern wanted to try and show the world that we have our own Adler, without actually purchasing Adler.

Plus JK's philosophy seems to be keep giving these German youngsters their shot and keep on experimenting -- and I refer to how many times JK has been focusing on Lell, Ottl, Rensing and whoever else you want to add.

Something is really screwy about Bayern this season, but with that said and after this past weekend's game, we all know how "weaker" teams like Nürnberg can really rise above themselves.

Anyway, I have many concerns and they keep getting worse and I get more nervous everytime we play a game -- But I will still be supporting Bayern -- so GO BAYERN!!

Double comeback
Klose and Ribéry to face Nürnberg

Quote:

There was good news from the Bayern medical unit on Sunday as Franck Ribéry was given the green light to resume training on Monday, and is now expected to make his first appearance of the season in Wednesday’s DFB German Cup second round tie at home to Bavarian rivals 1. FC Nürnberg.

“We’ll watch him closely in training over the next two days and then decide whether to start with him, or whether it would be better to have him on the bench,” head coach Jürgen Klinsmann revealed to fcbayern.de on Sunday morning.

Three month lay-off

Ribéry had originally hoped to feature in Saturday’s Werder Bremen clash, but a hamstring strain forced him to delay his return from a three-month lay-off. The 25-year-old sustained torn ankle ligaments in France’s meeting with Italy at Euro 2008 in mid-June. “We’re all really looking forward to having him back,” commented Klinsmann.

The Bayern coach will also be able to call on Miroslav Klose in the midweek Cup tie. The Germany international was forced to sit out the Bremen match with the after-effects of a dead leg, but is set to resume the squad programme on Monday. As in the case of Ribery, the coaching staff will monitor the striker’s progress before a decision on the starting line-up.

Potential rotation

The day after the sobering home defeat to Bremen, Klinsmann was still pondering the “screw-up" against Bremen. “We’re reviewing whether we ought not to have had a little rotation. You’re always a little wiser after the event,” the Bayern coach said in a TV interview.

Klinsmann made only one change to the team which beat Steaua Bucharest three days earlier, Lukas Podolski replacing the injured Klose. “We have a huge number of games in the next few weeks, so we’re hoping to pick the right players and for everything to work out. A few things didn’t work out yesterday,” Klinsmann reflected. Ribéry’s return provides a potent and classy new option.

No more 3-5-2

...we must play 4-2-3-1 (for me this is the best formation) or 4-4-2 classic...or 4-1-3-2 (when we will have a world class DM)

This is what I want to see 4-2-3-1:
..................Rensing
Oddo, Lucio, Demichelis, Lahm
......Ze Roberto - Borowski/Van Bommel
Ribery - Schweinsteiger - Podolski
.....................Toni

With Ribery and Poldi speed on flanks we can create more chances to score.
