Bayern's predicted team.
Im not to worried about our attacking options because they are some of the best in the world, it is our defensive duty we have to worry about, so so so so so hope De Jong plays, he will be the key man in this game and will also allow Yaya to go attacking at times. Yes Bayern have not conceeded a goal this year but what team have they gone against that has an attack like ours. We will get a goal but cannot see us winning the game. Ending their clean sheet record will do for me.
Richards at right back for me as he has the strenght to stop Ribery wheras Clichy will be need for pace against Robben because he is just rapid, Kolarov will be to slow against him IMO. Need Hart to play his best ever game in a City shirt as well.
Let me say something, Bayern was extreme lucky in Wolfsburg on Matchday 2, after loosing at home against Gladbach. The Ref stopped an regular 1-0 Goal by Wolfsburg (no offside). And they couldnt manage to break them until a lucky Gustavo goal (which was a poor Shot, but the Wolfsburg Keeper was shite). Since that Refs are giving them advantage and their build some confindece on Teams who will strugle to stay in the 1rst league. Dont get me wrong, they have some quality Players in Ribery, Muller and Robben. But as soon they see opponents are closing the space, they get pretty boring and uninspired.
At this Moment it s 50:50 even tho they have a home game, our quality is higher and the attacking force stronger on each position (robben will probably not start).
If our defence has to worry bout their quality Attack, then their Defence doesnt have to play this game at all.<br /><br />-- Mon Sep 26, 2011 3:07 pm --<br /><br />We must play Richards tommorow because of Ribery:
1) Ribery is playing deep, which will be good for us. If he makes tho Micah, Kompany will wait. Richards on the other hand will have space because Ribery will not defend 90 Mins, not hes thing. He will do it like for 45 mins just to get mented and then will play his game.
2) Ribery needs to be covered by paceful Defenders, in my eyes Richards is perfect to do so. Even tho he makes to dribble Micah off, he want be lazy like the Bundesliga Players. So Micah will come back with an painful tackle or just use hes Body. If he playing clever he can get do realy good. Because Ribery doesnt like when a Player uses hes Body against him, he allways puts hes Hands on the opponent face, which should be noticed by the Ref.
Richards will go from start aggresive, which Zabs on hes style want, so it should be clear who must play here.
