Bayern Munich Vs City Pre Match Thread

[Stoned Rose]

Said 1-2 before I'd seen the teams.

Still confident.

We could certainly have put out a stronger 11 (Fernando, aguero) but so could've they. They have quite a few key heads missing.

Navas will create chances given the 2 line ups.

We just need dzeko to be bang on his game and take his chances cos he'll definitely get 1 or 2.

Big game for Benatia to be making his full debut, hope that Ed can give him the run around. Be interesting to see him in action, let's hope he has a shocker! :-)

Is Pep playing Lahm and Alaba in forward positions frequently now or is this more a result of the injuries? On its face it seems awfully defensive although both of those players can certainly play in more advanced positions.

Alaba is a midfielder for the Austrian team - and Lahm plays in midfield often since last season. Nothing really special. Yes, when Thiago and Schweinsteiger are back they probably go back to fullback positions.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Bang up for this now, getting giddy.

expected Milner, Mangala and Caballero to play.

Bit more open than I was hoping for, but hey-ho, let's see...

Саня could score some and play more solid... It's weird that Pel put Clichy in start

Looks like settling for a draw is out then! :D Shame we couldn't have had Fernando fit, would have been very interested to see him in a game like this.

Can win this !

COME ON CITY...
