Obviously Thiago, Goetze, and Badstuber could easily replace Schweini, Muller, and dante respectively, but the point is the same - we're no better a side than we were when we won the CL - all we have now is slightly more depth.
Do we really need to be better than that side, I will be more than satisfy we can reach that Level again.
There is still a German core with 5 NT players, and a Spanish midfield and a fantastic front 4 wich oozes class. Oh well, it's a fantasy and nothing more. There is players left out here who are club icons so it just not going to happen.
I don't think we are even near the level of the 2012-13 that won the CL.
Tactically, not by miles. As far as the squad goes, I think we're as good or better. Jupp's tactics would have made this team look marginally better than the 2012-13 one.
I still think the 3-5-2 is the best formation possible; we can have martinez, robbery, gotze, muller & lewa on the pitch at the same time (with Alaba & Thiago rotating with Lahm, Bastian & Gotze)
Pep can also change it to 3-4-3 but one of Gotze-Ribery will sit on the bench

Defensively Jupp's tactics would have made this team look marginally better, sure.
However on the offensive end the stellar 2013/14 season of Robben based hugely on Guardiola's more offensive tactics, whereas Heynckes relied heavily on Ribéry's playmaking who was in permanent crisis last season.
We wouldn't have lost 0-5 to Real Madrid, sure, but the team would imo have been pretty much hopeless on the offensive end.

I think it evens itself out for the most part.
I tend to agree, but I don't want to be even with 2012-13 when almost every other team in the world has improved massively since then except us.
Its a difficult decision though,but it good to note we can't field more than 11 players at a time. But I think what will determine who wins the first 11 is Guardiola pattern and players innate passion to play to his style....
Our Biggest formation base on Direct pattern of game will be:
It's difficult to fill all our best players in one formation, but I still think one of 3-5-2/3-1-4-2 can somehow solve this problem ... but I'm not sure if those 2 can work, especially on the defensive side, since we're not playing Fifa
