FC Bayern München Thread [2012/2013]

Ya big dynasty of 1 CL Title.

 

[Mandieta6]

Next season Pep would get to prove how much of a Villas-boas he is. The team has all the tools, but the manager needs to adapt his tactics. If he fails I'd consider him a failure.

 

[Filipower]

He did win the Club World Cup, European Supercup and the Bundesliga in March though. And on course to win the Cup.

 

[Arnau]

And it's not that Bayern is eliminated on the group stages.

 

[Awax]

The 'disaster' is not losing a CL semi-finals, it's in the way we're playing and not scoring a single goal in 2 games against Madrid. It's playing Piggy and Kroos in midfield, with the later playing deeper than the former. I could go on forever, but I'm too pissed off right now

 

[Arnau]

Give us Pep back if you don't want him

 

[Filipower]

 

[Mandieta6]

This is like the inverse Moyes. The manager didn't do anything particularly good but the squad was good it won things on its own.

 

[Deisler]

It is kind of ironic people the same memes we used against them now in reverse.

As far as Pep goes in his first year he did pretty well so case closed, he is not leaving until he delivers a CL.

[MaestroZidane]

Well... Looks like we have Slayed the "Bestia Negra". Take your tiki taka and keep dominating the Bundesliga .

 

[Dytza]

Can't believe some people call Pep a failure for being eliminated in the semis against probably the most in-form team in the world atm, one year after Bayern won the CL title. My point is, Pep always said that the same team can't win forever. Bayern is basically the same team as last year, with the additions of Gotze and Thiago who were far from being influential in the CL. Of course I'm not implying that's the reason they were eliminated because no one should've made massive changes in that team. And no team has ever won the Champions League two times in a row.
Oh, and he still won the Bundesliga in fucking March, European supercup and CWC, probably going to add the German Cup soon.

Shhhh if Madrid was playing in the BlundeRliga they would has already won the treble. What is this like the 18 team you has raped from Germany this year?

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Pep has proven to be wrong. Just like his "you can't rotate the squad and keep motivation" bullshit was proven wrong by Bayern in 2013, his "the same team can't win twice in a row" has proven to be retarded as well. He made stupid changed just to change the team. His season is now over and I can judge. Schweinsteiger and Martinez is a great partnership and was not used as such ONCE this season. Club icon and record signing, both integral pieces to a treble winning season, so what does Pep do? He replaces them with a fullback.

 

[Filipower]

Lahm as DM is an atrocity, I don't care if you have 100% possession, it's an atrocity.

[/Xifio]


Not like that was the problem today. Although it did seem as if he's gotten worse as a RB in the process.

 

[ArgVega]

Waaaaaa waaaaa. Hush, even with Martina and Shiggy you do realize how difficult it is to win back to back CLs? You suffered the same fate we did in 2010, then came back and won it in 2011 with Pep. Nothing is ****ed here, I think Bayer will be candidate again next year.

This! But oh well Guardiola has his own philosophy and he obviously wasn't going to continue exactly the same way Heynckes did. Also Schweinsteiger was injured for a long time. But not using Javi in the midfield for the most part of the season suprised me as well, especially considering the fact that he played such an integral part in winning the treble last season.

And as we all know winning the CL twice in a row is really difficult, requires a lot of luck etc...but why change the system that was already working perfectly. But i guess sometimes change is needed and you can't exactly say that Guardiola has failed this season. Everybody were expecting you to win the CL again (heh mind you, treble*), but it didn't happen. There's always the next year.

 

[yoyo913]

Too bad you didn't know you'd win the CL last year. Should have kept Heynckes for an epic 2nd year run.

 

[Mus]

Sure winning the cl twice in a row was hard, but not even scoring once against madrid in two legs? Struggling vs Moyes and Wenger isn't great either

 

[Awax]

Guardiola : "I know there are a lot of teams that sit back and launch counterattacks, but I feel something different. We have done it so often! I like to play with the ball. There are no valid arguments now because with this defeat it won't seem credible, but I can't change what I feel. Madrid launched counterattacks because it was impossible not to, but I like football played with the ball. We need to reflect upon whether, with this team, these players can adapt to my ideas."
