Bayern Formations

[Die Roten Mun]

I prefer Basti because he's simply the heart of Bayern.

That is an insult for Basti, mate.

Bayern needs Basti not because he kisses the badge, it's because that he is " technically" the fucking boss

If you forget he's on the pitch, you're simply not paying attention. He's been absolutely vital to what little build-up play we've had - which I certainly agree has been lacking, but simply not on Lewa's efforts. He's been sublime and the only reason he's not scoring more than he is already (which seriously, guys, isn't a bad rate - it's not like he ISN'T scoring) is that he's not getting creative service. You know why that is, IMHO? Because we are missing the creative link that was Kroos, as well as his replacement, Thiago. More importantly, Goetze has, until he proved otherwise last game, simply not been able to create chances without additional dynamic midfield presence alongside him (Thiago, Schweinsteiger, Kroos - even Lahm). It's complicated but Lewa is still waiting for this team to get its midfield in a state of functional cohesion. No midfield service = no attacking creativity, excluding for moments of brilliance, which Lewa excels in, but can't rely on all the time.

He is always marked and sometimes by two guys, something which he's not used to as much due to dortmund's more counterattacking style. But when he's marked, Gotze and Muller find space and Gotze has been getting goals by shadowing Lewa lately..

What about the posibility of this midfield:

Javi Martínez
Xabi Alonso - Thiago
Robben - Götze

Would be very solid in both defense and offense.

Looks solid, and Spanish. But i agree, it looks like the strongest set-up in midfield.

That depend on the definition of "strongest". I am sure that Pep has another definition of the "strongest", and I exclude that Bayern will ever play with that formation with Pep Guardiola is their coach.

Current form? What the hell in that case Gotze & Lewa are doing there? I would prefer Pizza instead of Lewa & anyone instead Gotze at the moment.

What prouve Claudio ? He can't even play an entire game. Be serious.

Götze ? His game against BVB wasn't great, but don't forget his lasts games, he's our best scorer for the moment with .. Lewandowski !

Götze has been pretty good lately, with the exception of BVB tbh. He isnt creating much, but he is scoring.

Gotze's been excellent the last 2 months bar last night. Lewa is not playing 100% but is getting there and still has a healthy number of goals. Pizarro as a starter every game would probably get roughly the same number of goals, but it would look more impressive because it's him that's getting them. Lewa is better all round and will improve goals wise.

I don't even want to comment this.
Maby you should try to watch few Bayern games...

[aramshat]

Gotze only performs when it is not important, but when it matters the most he just disappears. When we are winning anyway his goals aren't really important that much...
