Why do you Bavarians keep hating Rafinha? He wasn't much worse than Lahm. He's the real story here; his form has been worsening for months now. And then there's Badstuber who can't even tackle properly and his normal challenges are bad too. He's similar to a younger Mertesacker who only lives from his positional play.
I really fear for the German defense at the Euro :(

Robben is a one trick pony and everyone must have figured him out by now + his form is shit too so he just basically slows down every other attack. Shaqira can't come soon enough.

Gomez is mostly great vs. teams that defend rather high, but he fails horribly vs. teams that defend low and do counter attacks (which is how we taught everyone to play against you). His technique is bad and he can rarely participate in fast-paced passing you need an alternative there (at least someone like Lewandowski - don't fucking think ob signing him!)

And now Ribbery is also pissed (didn't want to low five Heynckes).

Basically: go into a corner and cry :p

Rafinha's fault also. Lahm is awful in defense when playing as LB, he should play as RB as he used to do when LvG was our manager.

Also, Alaba should be playing as LB or LW, not as CM.

LB= Contento/Alaba
RB= Lahm (fuck Rafinha)

Robben is alone on the right side of the pitch, Rafinha is retarded, Alaba goes only to the left side. He's alone there, and he's double marked in every match still obviously his form is awful atm. Our main problem is the manager, I think he already lost the team.

Yep!
 
(From twitter, not sure if real)

Ribéry: Before everybody asks..I dont have an argument with Heynckes. I was angry of our playstyle.We are still in the stadium, so have a gd evening

Robben: Good work Basel, but I am very disappointed that we lost the match...
 
Hoeness: "Hört auf mit diesem Scheiß-Handschlag!!!" / "Stop it with the stupid Handshakes"

We're now hearing reports that the Bayern team were asked by general manager Christian Nerlinger to enter the locker room all together.

It is being said that the team are now rather loudly blaming each other for the defeat. Not good news for FCB fans...

(1) But Lahm doesn't want to play RB. He always felt like a lefty and plays it for Germany too.
Raf. was specifically bought so that Lahm could go back to the left (if I'm correct). I also remember that in the last season everyone said Lahm's form worsened because he had to play on the right and that he'd be better when changing back to the left. But I guess his form just worsened overall.

(2) I think so too.
(3) Heynckes is horrid and his football knowledge/tactics (if you can call it that) is waaay outdated.

Weissbier and Inter have really not shown any single thing. Without Ribéry, Weissbier would have been a pale imitation of Energie Cottbus. Nothing more.

to be fair, coloured in german "farbiger" is not offensive here, i see you are german so it might be different from area to area. or do you mean because he didn't know his name?

Both kinda. "Farbiger" isn't as offensive as it's in English but, at least I think, you should avoid that word if you can. He should know his name, anyway.

And wasn't Alaba pretty bad as LB, too?
 
Rumor: Felipe Santana might replace Dante in Gladbach, apparently available for 3.5m (what, we should get both!)

Nope. He was bought because he was cheap, he was almost the last option. They tried to buy Baines (Everton), Sagna (Arsenal), an Criscito, Coentrao (haha) but all the teams demanded more than 10m and Bayern wanted a top class full back for 5m... except Everton, I believe but Baines didn't want to leave England (typical). Almost all the options were LB, except for Sagna.

I think Lahm was very good as RB, not in offensive play (he limited himself to support Robben) but as a defensive player he was like our only true defender in the LvG era.

I see, but I remember him talking about hating the right side or something..maybe I'm wrong, dunno.

As for Santana: Bild is reporting and they have zero informants at BVB, their info is mostly second-hand. His manager just said that "they're open to all options". I'm sure Santana will stay because Subotic will leave (I also would like this outcome). But if Subotic were to stay I can totally see him go (hopefully for more than 3.5m - wtf?)
 
Holy lol @ Bayern.

If they get knocked out then the champion will surely come out between Barcelona and Madrid. Was Bayern missing players or something?
 
Oh Inter, ever the party pooper. OM didn't impress me at all though, so I guess there's still a chance. I want them, Milan and Napoli to keep going forward in CL, for obvious reasons. :D

Speaking of jerseys ...

(Not real, obviously. Otherwise it would be so, so bought. I'm a huge fan of the coletto.)
