No it wasn't at all. The defense was our best attribute under Heynckes, very balanced team. Like an Xbox One.
are you saying he's the footballing equivalent of you?
Dat Neymar
Dat Pep
Dat jealousy
Dat so good
Leverkusen, Gladbach, Arsenal, Stuttgart, Dortmund. Just to name a few expamples were Heynckes defence was on the brink and the treble too. That success may let some people forgot how much closer it really was.
Some people say Boateng is shit while others say he's upcoming world class. What do Bayern-GAF think?
He was extremily weak at City when they owned him. Kept jumping out of tackles/duels, never used his body and shit scared when he got the ball.

Bayern aren't perfect but no team is this season and you're still the best team in Europe. Not by the same ridiculous margin as last season but still the best. And even if you don't repeat the CL big deal you get Lewandowski on a free next season and still can win like 3 more trophies this season.

Yaya played a lot for us and was very good, was underrated by most people.
Pep started using him less towards the end of the season but he was always up for it no matter what position he was used in.
Eg. he started vs Madrid in the 6-2 destruction in the toilet seat stadium, but by the end of the season he was playing CB vs Chelsea and manutd. dat pep.
By that time it was clear pep had picked biscuits over him, rightly so too, so yaya had to leave if he wanted to play regularly.
This is pretty much like discussing Gomez. Stats are on his side, but people who actually watched the games know he was shit.
Heynckes made our team very balanced, we didn't even concede a goal against Barcelona.

BATE was our only meltdown last season. I don't think Arsenal was much of a meltdown, they were very good in the second leg and scored 2 very deserved goals.
Why couldn't he cover in any of the two other CM positions? Deemed not a quick passer enough, quick enough? Or did he play there too? He always seemed to have offense capabilities since day 1 at City.
(When Xavi/Iniesta were rested/injured)

Looking back on stats, it seems like he actually played a lot. 25+23+18 starts in La Liga, plus CL.
Supposedly leaked early last night to the French contingent of BeIn sport.
Lloris or Kaboul.
Very clever to keep it on the low until the draw though.
The Danish media are under the impression that he will get the job and negotiations are well underway.
urgh not looking forward to another window of that mess.
She didn't shake that boys hand too. Truly a monster.
He wanted to play every game
He can fucking dream.. He had his chance
He is the best germand defender right now. Simple as that.

She actually shook Suarez's hand in the end but not sure about the boy.
Those Mertesacker legs, baby.
I doubt Levy barged in to the dressing room after the game and fired AVB right on the spot. Beln sport had the news up minutes after the FT. It was more down to them putting two and two together and getting four than someone leaking it to them.
He's world class already, but he was bad vs. City yes. He, and the whole defense, looked x100 better under Heynckes tho.

ah, memories of going up a cliffside with my uncle and his tractor in cyprus. The back wheel hanging over the edge, Uncle not giving a fuck. Plus girl swimming in the bay below with her tits out.

It's nice to want things Arsene. I don't think you can afford him now though.
Meant when he played at City that year they owned him, you always thought he would overcome that stuff early on but he never really seemed to get better. The injury wrecked a lot though. Can't believe he was out all that time after getting hit by a freakin' candy wagon on an airplane...

Yep as I said he played a lot. It was only towards the end of the season where busquets took over.
The only time I remember yaya playing in the other midfield role was vs zaragoza I think, he got an assist and a goal iirc. Was always used in def.mid until he started playing CB.
He was one of my favourite players, thought he was better than busquets(who had a shaky start for us), I was wrong but I still miss yaya. He was a different player in our team.
His copa del Rey final goal vs Bilbao was pretty memorable.
Yaya <3 hitcher </3
Dont mean to nitpick but Barca was, like many other games in favour to us. Goal 2 and 3 wouldnt have happened in a perfect world, the final against Dortmund was also very lucky with Neuer keeping Bayern in the game. I agree that the team was very balanced, but it is more so now, with Thaigo and Götze playing many positions and with Ribery, Schweini and Robben out, we can replace them now. We were lucky last season that our key players werent injured unlike this season and we are still playing better with those patchwork formations.

I think the £40m clause was legit but we couldn't activate it bevause we weren't in the CL at the time.
Merte is his partner though. Hummels is injured and Löw does not seem to like his risky passes. So yeah, Merte and Boateng are the best we have, with Boateng having actual football skills.
