Look which two guys are back for the Bayern match
Nice.
Still, I hope he keeps both out of the starting 11.
Großkreutz has been awful in the last match, but he's probably our best option defensively (if not for his co-play with Schmelzer). While the new & improved Kuba together with Piszczek will give Ribbery hell (hopefully).
I'd sub Götze if we were facing defeat, even if Großkreutz is worse off than vs. Wolfsburg, Perisic could still be the better option.
I'm not so sure about the midfield though. Bender & Kehl is our standard option vs. offensive-minded teams, but Bender is still far from 100% while Gündogan is in beast-mode atm. So even with his occasional def. mistakes he's probably the better option next to Kehl.
/edit
Boo.I guess Santana is getting ready to join Gladbach!
I hope Goetze starts, that would make things more easy for us.
Yeah, I don't think Klopp is dumb like that. Not after the mistake with Bender sub in the Stuttgart game. Either Götze is 100% good to go and then he'll give you hell or he'll be benched.
