2012/13 UEFA Champions League: The Road to Wembley VII

[Mandieta6]

That sucks. No Kroos and no Gotze in the final makes it a lot less special. At least it's not like last year when half of each team missed out, but still, I was really looking forward to this and not being able to see two of my favorite players of the past season sucks.

I suppose we'll see Grosskreutz rather than shifting Gundogan forward though.

And Reus playing in the hole behind Lewandowski?

 

[Xaviesta]

Reus CF

 

[Arnau]

Will Hummels play?

I suppose we'll see Grosskreutz rather than shifting Gundogan forward though.

Yeah, Gundogan is base player, Kuba-Reus-Grosskreutz behind Lew4ndowski is the most likely line-up.

 

[Mandieta6]

I think the injury wasn't that bad, so he'll play. Would be awful if he didn't.

Gundogan can play in the band of three, but I think such a move would be a defensive one towards the end of the game, if they're leading. I'd say that Bender-Gundogan, Kuba-Reus-Grosskreutz makes more sense than Sahin-Bender/Kehl, Reus-Gundogan-Kuba.

 

[yoyo913]

They should play

-------Bender--Kehl-------
-Reus---Gundogan---Kuba-

IMO

 

[Mandieta6]

How come?

 

[yoyo913]

Better balance to handle Bayern's attack. And I think Kehl would be more useful in his respective position than Grosskreutz.

 

[Mandieta6]

I think Grosskreutz would be more helpful in containing the left flank than Kehl in securing the middle. With Muller in the centre I also think they'd find it to difficult to get the ball out from the defense.

 

[yoyo913]

Good point

 

[newbie original]

To be perfectly honest, Dortmund has no chance of scoring a goal against Bayern. In addition to missing Gotze, they have transfer-related distractions (Lewandowski) to deal with. It WILL affect the other players.

I think that Bayern will win it after 45 minutes. The second half will be pointless. Borussia Dortmund is actually a very soft team.

 

[Jaboldinho]

Better bet your house on that then.

23 minutes remaining until the kickoff and Dortmund's going to win it!!!

 

[clash]

Dortmund: Neuer; Lahm, Boateng, Dante, Alaba; Javi Martinez, Schweinsteiger; Robben, Müller, Ribery; Mandžukic.
Bayern: Weidenfeller; Piszczek, Subotic, Hummels, Schmelzer; Bender, Gündogan; Blaszczykowski, Reus, Grosskreutz; Lewandowski.

 

[Back Door Skip]

Lewandowski managed to mutate and join both teams. We're witnessing history.

 

[clash]

What are you talking about?

 

[Back Door Skip]

Stole this from somewhere else, but...

 

[Back Door Skip]

Dortmund look so much more dangerous so far.

 

[Awax]

Robben, don't start that shit again
