It will be a sick match, followed by a more relaxed Everton on Saturday this is gonna be a very hard week.
This is the match where we can fight for being 1st in the group of course I would accept a 2nd place easily now as you never know what CSKA might do later vs us.

Looking back now I think that Villa defeat could prove worthwhile going into this game as I just believe had we won today, knowing us and how we go about things, we would of gone in far too overconfident and in result be picked off by Bayern.
If we go into this game with the same motivation as we showed against United then who knows, the players should have in the back of their mind that if they win this game then our chances of topping the group are in our hands, it would be ours to throw away.

Nasri-------------Kun------------------Navas
-------------Yaya-Fernandinho-------------
Clichy--Nastasic--Kompany--Richards
---------------------Hart-------------------------
We need bullies in this game if you ask me and that's why I choose Negredo over Dzeko and Richards over Zabaleta.
The main reason I choose Richards over Zabaleta is because of the Ribery threat, we need Richard's pace and strength to compete with him, Zabaleta is a better defender in my opinion but I just seem him struggling with the pace of Ribery.
Negredo needs to bully the Bayern back line to help Sergio find spaces to exploit.

After today I can't predict another City result ever!!
Bayern did not have a great match today either - but like very often in that matches they won by a Müller goal. I guess that Guardiola would have subbed more than three players today if he could have - there were some that played like they drank all night... He ended substituting Robben and Schweinsteiger and a minute later Kroos passed to Shaqiri passed to Ribery passed to Müller and they had the 1:0 that they kept until the end.
Was hard work - I saw the running data and especially Ribery, Alaba and Müller had a lot of fast runs and sprints and a high mileage - but this three can do that twice a week and the match is Wednesday not Tuesday.
It is not clear how Guardiola will play Wednesday. He for sure will play with a Lahm-Schweinsteiger-Kroos central midfield. Ribery on the left wing, Mandzukic as striker. The right winger position is very difficult. Müller had three goals and two assists in the last three matches (in the first one he was subbed in) - and he somehow assists and scores goals whenever he plays right winger (the no. 8 position in Guardiola's system ain't really ideal for him) whereas he substituted Robben twice in the last three matches and did not start him Wednesday. Both are big match players. Both are in good form.
So - I guess Robben or Müller is the big question.
Neuer
Rafinha - Boateng - Dante - Alaba
Lahm
Robben/Müller - Schweinsteiger - Kroos - Ribery
Mandzukic
Everything else would be very surprising.
