Comments on: Bayern 1 – 2 Anderlecht http://bayern.theoffside.com/team-news/bayern-1-2-anderlecht.html News from Bayern Munich German football team Thu, 26 Nov 2009 08:18:00 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Angela http://bayern.theoffside.com/team-news/bayern-1-2-anderlecht.html#comment-354 Angela Thu, 13 Mar 2008 15:10:44 +0000 http://bayern.theoffside.com/team-news/bayern-1-2-anderlecht.html#comment-354 Bilal: Don't apologize :) I welcome all opinions as long as we can discuss them like adults without attacking one another and we've all done that very well here. Hummels is out on loan to the BVB and I am not certain that he will be back. Breno wins no points with me for being compared to Lucio... I see a lot of mistakes in Lucio and I am just not a fan.... again, that's just me ;) Schweinsteiger needs to get himself together. His form has been most unimpressive as of late and if he continues to perform badly, I am unsure where that will leave him for Bayern. van Bommel will likely finish out his career at Bayern, but we will need someone to step in and take his place when he's gone. Ottl does okay, but he has a lot of room for improvement. The thing going for him is that he's young and he's only just starting to blossom as a player. The combination of Klose and Podolski was a magnificent one for the WC so I am hoping that signing of Klinsmann will mean a return to form for Lukas and more playing time for him when he gets a little more of his confidence back.

Hummels is out on loan to the BVB and I am not certain that he will be back.

Lucio is under contract until 2010, at which time he'll be 32, so one can clearly see Breno being groomed to take that spot. So between now and August 2010, that's a lot of time for him to develop, and even then he'll only be 20. Theoretically, in that 2010-11 season you'll have both Breno and Hummels ready to contribute as central defenders--Bayern seems to be following the route they took with Lahm and Lell in developing Hummels, but it remains to be seen how they will handle Breno.

Why spend money on people who will only get the chance to play when it's just a nothing game for the team? Ribery I don't think could sit still if you asked him to. The announcers on Gol were talking about how fit he is and when he was warming up in the first half that he probably just wanted to get some cardio in since he wasn't playing. ;) I haven't given up on Willy just yet. I know what he is capable of. And he's still trying to get back into the rhythm of playing regularly, which he really hasn't done yet either. In the second half, it was very much going through the motions for Bayern. There's no denying that.

Ribery just can't sit still for 90 min when there's a match going on, can he? Maybe he can take a half off in Cottbus. I don't know, how long was Sagnol out, 9 months? I think it will take that long for him to round back into shape. Overall, Bayern played with a flatness commensurate to the occasion.
