Bayern Munich - pre match discussion thread

[bluethai]

Happy to see Micah back in the fold. I'm a huge fan of his. Hope his lack of matches this season doesn't affect his game tonight.

Overall, I like the selection. I knew Silva couldn't be risked to start tonight, and why should he with Nasri's current form.

Personally, I would have taken Negredo over Dzeko, but only for his work rate off the ball chasing and harassing the back line. But, I can't say that I'm displeased that Dzeko is out there.

The only question I have is, why Garcia? If Rodwell isn't fit, use Milner. Put Garcia in street clothes and bring in Jovetic in case we need an extra creative spark coming off the bench.

Agreed, that Garcia's space should be for Jovetic or Kolarov instead.

Good luck with the Germans City. We were seconds away from beating them with 10 men, they're not so scary!

I agree Garcia is a waste of a spot ..why wouldn't we want that offensive spark off the bench if we need it..but I guess pelle can't please us all

True...but to me, he has cover for centre back...he has cover for midfield (and I don't see him taking off either Yaya or Fernadinho), so....what is Garcia doing there if not just to keep the seat warm??? He's not a game changer, Jovetic has that potential. I don't see Jovetic being picked over Silva or Negredo, but if we need that extra creative spark, I don't see Garcia being that person.

However, I will admit that I don't know what Jovetic's fitness is at the moment. This could be simply down to him having a knock and Pellegrini didn't have much choice...

@StuBrennanMEN: Uefa team sheet has Bayern lined up 4-1-4-1, with Muller as the lone striker

Interesting...

Sorry if I missed this, but why is Kolarov not at least on the bench?

Probably because we already have Zaba and Lescott on the bench, I imagine Zabaleta will play left back if needed.

We beat them with 10 men at their place. Not scary at all! ;)
