Song did a good job tonight. It's Alexis and his inability to score that's the real problem here. Guy needs to learn from Villa before he goes this summer. And Thiago got a little over confident in his abilities.

This game should have been 5-1 if they played it correctly... I really hate Thiago as a replacement for Xavi... All game long him and Iniesta trying unnecessary dribbles for the show when the game isn't over >_<
Alexis wtf, I really like this player, I know he is not a goal scorer but WTF man, something's wrong in his head right now...
Anyway, I still think we'll crush them with the A team in Malaga, but it seems like efforts could have been avoided

We missed Xavi and Busquets a lot. Bad luck Barça today, and one of the worse games this season too.

And dayum Alexis >.> You make it so hard to like you.

Guardiola to Bayern next summer, thats gonna be very interesting
Clearly thinking about his chances to get his hands at that cl tropy again. Good choice, Bayern could have won it last year and maybe even the year before but Bundesliga is by no means LaLigue in terms of quality.
Then again Bayern has an excellent team, maybe Pep might even help to sign big names.

We'll see I guess.

I agree with most of the sentiments here, something needs to be done with Alexis. Maybe start the competition for the stop with Villa again or something.

And I wholeheartedly agree that Villa needs a chance. Too bad he got an injury before the Liga game vs Malaga, hopefully he'll be ok in no time and back into the pitch scoring those goals fuck yeah.

bayern munich signing big names?usually 90% of the starting 11 are big names....theyre currently playing:
neuer ribery robben lahm muller schweinsteiger and so on....they do not need pep to have some of the best players in the world
as for the quality of bundesliga.....it is a lot better than what you seem to think!

I tried to say that the quality in genereal in the Bundesliga is much higher than in Spain. That Bayern is capable to sign big names from the Bundesliga like Neuer is no surprise.
The only bigger international signigns were Robben, Ribery and Martinez. Maybe we are going to see even more of these signings in the future. But you are probably right, if Bayern wanted to sign more players like this, they probably could.

A couple of years back it was thought to be better to have more German players in big clubs in Spain, England or even Italy. This really changed imo. Now most German players stay in Germany with the exception of Khedira and Özil.

Well when they signed Robben he wasn't excatly "world class"
He left Chelsea as world class on a free to Real Madrid, but he did nothing there as he was injured for most of it. He got let go by them im almost certain? And then all of a sudden he stayed fit and went omg wtf mode again at Bayern.

Ribery is like there only world class signing outside of Bundesliga in a long time. I guess you could argue that signing Shaqiri & Mandzukic where big signings as Shaqiri was really good in that years champions league campaign and is young, and Mandzukic was sick in the Euros. So they aren't to bad on the signings front.

The only problem for me that pep might have at Bayern is the way it is run. Pretty much the big wigs at the top run the club no? Ala Beckenbauer etc? If he would do something to upset Beckenbauer he would pretty much lose his job?

It's more Rummenigge and Hoeness than Beckenbauer who are the really big ego guys. Also, Matthias Sammer is there since the beginning of this season.

(Beckenbauer is more like the funny old guy who's adored by everyone)

Yeah you can understand Beckenbauer being the "good guy" as he is just German's greatest ever!

Ah ok it's the others, but yeah they are the ones he needs to be careful of i guess, im sure they probably wont tread on his toes due to what Pep will bring to the club, BUT, if things go badly and he needs time to implement his tactics/style it might be a test of character for him

Well, yesterday was a bummer, got home to catch like the 20mins and well, we deserved to get equalized. It's amazing the difference it makes to (or not to) play with busquets on the starting line-up. He's such a pilar for the team, he always organizes it well, and always keeps a steady "fast" paced game.

Next time we play, I'm sure Tito will place busquets and make other arrangements, they will get this one, or at least I hope they do. I don't want this to be another "Chelsea" case. We lost too many attemps and we didn't netted those, don't want to end up regretting them. :p

go Barça!

Also, I'm going to start following Bayern very closely, now that Pep's is their coach. I always had this urge to follow a german team, and why not now . Anybody can recommend a website where I can get up to date with Bayern history?

thx.

I think they're aware that his playstyle requires a certain time to be fully functional, that's why he signed a 3 years contract and not 1 year like he used to do in Barcelona. Also we can say that these manager, as fearsome as they can be, are smart and aren't retarded short term decision makers like Abrahmovitch (or whatever is name is) or even Perez from few years ago.

Ribery came from Marseille, and as good as he was, couldnt be considered as a world class player yet. Guardiola's notoriety will help Bayern bring world class players that didn consider the bundesliga as exciting as the PL or la Liga, so this is huge for this club. This will also bring more spectators because of curiosity, and as a barca fan, I'll be following Bayern next year for sure, whereas now Im just watching the big games. He's no god, but overall I think its very good for the german football.
