afrodoc: germany had better start hummels and howedes o,their 2 best CBs

Germany would start Hummels and badstuber.

Howedes has been poor this season

Problem is where would lahm start Lahm as RB means Schmelzer has a chance as LB

Lahm as LB means Boateng and Howedes compete for RB

Wolfgang Kaiser top 6 in the League

Where did Senhor Mediocre Debosky finish

toba: We cant rejoice yet cos when Gomez loses form like this, he might take forever to regain form and i cant see olic playing this saturday. No back up for Robbery cos if Pranjic doesnt start, we'll have him, rafinha/contento, Peterson and olic on the bench. Thats the worst bench i ve seen in a while

Thats why our starters have to win the match, Our bench has no hope.

Like I said, I prefer both teams to be full cos Bayern losses more when suspension or injuries hit

afrodoc: but still lookin good for u guys,chelsea might actually start without terry,ivanovic and cahill AND luiz
omo who will b in dt backline? ferreira,bosingwa,essein and cole?

Well Maybe we would see Mikel in CD That should be interesting

toba: Alaba was a midfielder for the most part of the immediate past season till about 4/5 weeks ago. He played well till last saturday that he messed up

Alaba played LB in Florence under Van Gaal and he is a better player than all of them

Contento is fast but makes poor decisions, Pranjic is slow and his decisions making isnt much better

Pranjic is better only at crosses

afrodoc: problem with contento is that he is the most mistake prone of the options.wat abt lahm ar RB and pranjic at LB.by d way i hear pranjic is leaving d team at d end of d season,true?

Pranjic is leaving at the end of the season

Prajic is best optimised in midfield and not in LB, He is not very fast and get burnt easily

See Pranjic performance vs a mediocre walcott

When was the last time Pranjic started as LB

Have you seen Pranjics performance When England played Croatia and Wankott scored a hat trick from his position?

Na wa o

Welcome to Warri. Mrs Retardeen

He should graduate to Aeronautic farming and psychological farming

What a useless Retardeeen

toba: My starting line wouldnt be different from the bayern team that played the later part of saturdays game with the inclusion of Tymoschuk as CB and either Rafinha at RFB or Pranjic as LFB.

The latter part of Saturdays game had Contento as LB. When was the last time you saw Pranjic play LB? That can only happen under Van gaal.

Rafinha + Robben is a disaster waiting to happen

coogar: dayo is a van gaal c[b]o[/b]cksucker.
if van gaal farts, dayo would lick it.

any manager that eliminates jose mourinho in a 2-legged tie is a genius.
juup has been outstanding!

I am more of a Juup supporter than van Gaal

Van Gaal is a brilliant manager but a dreamer. Similar to Wenger.

He wants to create a team who plays perfect attacking football made of teenagers from the youth team

That is not going to happen post Bosman.

Van gaal doesnt care about defence, He believes any player can play any role in a team. He builds a system

Van gaal was asked to buy Coentrao before the world cup he said he had contento, He was offered Khedira he said he has Alaba, He was told to buy neuer, He said he believes in Kraft. That is a fantasy world not reality.

Van gaal also likes absolute control. He came in sold Lucio, fought Lucatoni, fought Demichelis, estranged Gomez and Ribery. That cant work in a prima donna world of today.

And his buys? Braafield and Pranjic who paid his own tranfer fees

Juup is more pragmatic first thing he tried to shore the defence which van Gaal ignored and built from there

afrodoc: d bayern defence problem comes to d question of who is better,rafinha as a right back or contento as a left back cos the freak called lahm is world class in both positions

You also have to consider the never track back called Robben.

If you have a weak defender behind Robben expect that to be the hole

When rafinha was starting Opponents used that position a lot, Rafinha is the typical Brazilian full back who gets carried away with attack

A Robben+Rafinha side is disaster.

toba: u and Jupp Heynckes must be jokers if u think Contento should start against Chelsea. Do u think football is played with name or experience?

So give us your starting 11 vs Chelsea that includes a Left back.

That was the same way you thought Juup was joking till he got us to the CL finals

This final I would have preferred the two teams without suspension cos it affects bayern more.

Our first team can match almost any team but the bench is where our problem is

With the two teams complete, I would fancy our chances against John Terry easily compared to this depleted sides

afrodoc: very true dt mata isnt at his best when chelsea sit back.wat lineup do u xpect chelsea to start with?
where ramires beats sturridge is in his work ethic n readiness to help d defence n chase lost causes.they r both athletic but choose to use it differently

Chelseas lineup depends on the state of their 2 CB Cahill and Luiz if both are fit then

Bosingwa--Cahill--Luiz--Cole

----Mikel---Essien

---------Lampard

-Strurridge/Kalou---------Mata

-------Drogba

The back 4 could change and see Ferreira in case any of the 2 dont make it. And I dont know if Hutchinson is registered for the CL if not Essien slots in defence and things become more dire

But Given the weakness of Bayern defence, I think Di matteo should come out and attack. Play Drogba, Mata and Torres and lets see how Bayern copes. Bunkering with Essien and Bosingwa might not be a good idea cos Ribery and RObben would rip Bosingwa and Cole anyway

[size=18pt]Portuguese referee Pedro Proenca reportedly appointed for Champions League final between Bayern Munich and Chelsea[/size]

When the UEFA Champions League knockout stage draw was made, the world expected to see yet another edition of El Clasico in the final. Barcelona and Real Madrid remained favorites going into the semifinal, but both were thwarted. Incredibly, neither was taken out by bad luck or bad officiating, but rather by teams that were better than they were over two legs.

Chelsea and Bayern Munich finished their domestic seasons in disappointing fashion, but will be able to declare this season and overwhelming success if either wins the Champions League final on Saturday afternoon. They're hardly the two most accomplished teams in Europe at the moment, but some timely individual performances and great tactical adjustments by Roberto Di Matteo and Jupp Heynckes have made them deserved finalists.

The biggest story heading into the match are the suspensions and injuries to both sides. Chelsea are missing John Terry, Branislav Ivanovic, Ramires and Raul Miereles through suspension. There are doubts over the fitness of Gary Cahill and David Luiz, and their fitness situations will become more clear as the week progresses. Bayern Munich are without Holger Badstuber, David Alaba and Luiz Gustavo through suspension. Anatoliy Tymoshchuk is likely to step into defense, though Daniel Van Buyten has played in a reserve match recently and could return for Bayern.

coogar: sturridge is as fast as ramirez, not just as athletic.
if sturridge decides to look up and play a pass, they are as good as having ramirez.

then chelsea have juan mata(which to me is the best midfielder in england).....
kalou, drogba sturridge with mata playing behind drogba is as potent as any attack
you would see in europe.

You know Mata doesnt play well when Chelsea decides to bunker.

How do you want mata to be running after Kroos or Robben

You see how useless Mata was vs barca

RuuDie: Huntelaar. . . thats another very DEADLY SOUNDING name

Do you see the point I am trying to make about names - Phil Jones, Ashley Young - sounds like Soul music artistes to me. Compare that to Zamorano, Litbarsky, Hristo Stoichkov, Bu-rru-cha-gga or Canniggia - meeen, see defenders are already quaking in their boots at the sound of that. Its all in the mind, but its part of the game

What of A-GBON-LA-HOR? E-FE_TO-BO-RE SOD-JE, Ajigijaga broken bottle

coogar: don't compare monica lewinsky to togolese housemaids who are malnourished abeg.
the girls are often less than 15. the op claims her husband kept abusing the housemaids
one after the other. is that even feasible?

The gap in status between Clinton and lewinsky would be the gap between a banker and a housegirl

Lewinskys real life boyfriend might be a 24yr old boy playing Xbox all day. Thats her level

coogar: bayern should still have enough to upset chelsea.
chelsea have more key players suspended than bayern but football is a funny game.
if robben n ribery play their a-game, they would cause confusion but chelsea might
just play like inter milan did and win via counter-attack.

I agree Chelsea lost more important players. But bayern team is soo thin that beyond the starting 11 We start seeing the Pranjic, Usami, Contento etc. While Chelsea can still look at Cahill, Luiz, Torres Mikel Sturridge as subs

Do you notice that vs Madrid and in many key games we rarely make substitutions? Because our bench is Second division quality. that should change next season with Dante and Shaq

I think Chelsea lost a key player in Ramires in case they decide to counter.

Bayern has to win with our first 11 That means we must settle the game in the first 75mins.

ritchboy: Is Rafinha injured?

rafinha isnt injured but that would mean Lahm moving back to LB

We need someone good in defence behind Robben cos of his tracking back issues, Ribery still tries to track back

And from Juup Heyckenes recent lineups I suspect he favours Diego Armando Contento

afrodoc: well Fergie had better shine his eyes well well o.he has to buy smartly in order to see off this City menace

Its difficult dealing with people like Citeh. The only option is identify players you need keep strict radio and media silence and buy within 2weeks. If man Utd start a bidding war for Kagawa dont be surprised if Citeh submits a bid just to block you.

Chelsea did it in the past and Citeh can do it again

4llerbuntu: what is the assurance these ones will not fall my hand on saturday? nil.
munschit

Whats the assurance assanal would win a trophy in your lifetime?

NIL

afrodoc: wts bayern's most likely starting lineup for d CL final?

---------Neuer

--Lahm---Boateng--Tymoschuk--Contento

=====Schweini--Kroos

---------Muller

--Robben================Ribery

------------Gomez

This team is too attacking but thats the only option we have right now

Tymo, Contento and muller are the Sub for Badstuber, Gustavo and Alaba

toba: u feel LÖw would select Reus ahead of M.klose? Cacau would rather start than Reus play as a top 9

When playing a ball hugging team like Spain thats what i think would be the perfect lineup, See i didnt even include Gomez or Podolski cos vs Spain, your strikers would be useless anyway as the ball wont get to them

afrodoc: what abt gotze? coming from a good counter attacking team like dortmund and with his pace

Gotze has been injured for most of the season and he is a direct competitor for ozils place so he most likely would come from the bench

Aigbofa: Absolutely, built at a time when ibos were still living in trees.

And feasting on their neighbours

Lol

Most diiicks dont discriminate. Bill Clinton didnt discriminate an intern, while Arnold didnt discriminate his househelp.

The number of Togolese househelps they get impregnated by their boss husband is uncountable

Ordinary banker? even Oil workers dey congolize bushmeats for area codedly not to talk of nubile ones in your house

But OP why do you keep getting matured helps when you have already heard suspicion of phocking them

its like Mr Chaircover getting Van Vicker as houseboy.


I no yarn anything ooo

afrodoc: i dont tink a player like dzeko will fit into d united style.he is a bit ponderous and lacks berba's technical ability.wt we need is an attacker who combines welbeck's link up play with chicharito's deadly finishing e.g falcao,huntelaar,higuain e.t.c i tink those will suit united better than dzeko
i agree alot of d dortmund players r system players e.g gundogan,kuba,grosskreutz but the sheer talent of hummels n gotze and d versatility of kagawa should enable them adapt to other systems...PLUS lewandowski is actually still improving every day as a striker

What I think Dzeko need is a good run of games to get his confidence back. Not the 10mins cameos

Berbatovs technical ability/tekkers hasnt be seen in any striker in the last 7yrs. So asking for berbatovs controls is like asking for Bierrhoff or Shearers type of headers or for Ronaldinhos exuberance

Huntelaar doesnt link up, He is a Nistelrooy/Gomez striker. he is a finisher nothing more. And he plays better in a 4-4-2. Imagine the amount of good playing next to raul did to him

Dortmund is filled with System players Gundogan, Hummels, Goetze are actually talented. But Grosskreutz, Kuba, Kehl, Schmelzer and Subotic are the system guys whose job is just to chase you and run like a mad man for 90mins disrupting play.

Dortmund is like having 7 Dirk Kuyt/Ivica Olic and 3 Ozil.

They are the most annoying team to play. The chase every ball, run for 90 mins and their counter attacks is superb
