True. And with the squad slightly stretched because of the suspensions, we might see Malouda, Mikel, Essien, Cole all taking penalties.

I would be worried if Mata is taking the penalty though.

I know there's the German thing going on here but hope you're not serious when you said that.

Thinking RDM would surely have the players practice their penalties in training, just in case.

Now why would we sell Cole?

Noticed that too. Could be because of the t-shirt, as you said, or maybe of the fact that he hasn't played 1st team football for awhile now due to his injury.

A controversial post.

For a moment, thought it was a thread on the potential defensive problems for the CL final but only to find out it's regarding transfers. I wouldn't bother much about the news TBH. Just some usual BSs written by the media. Nothing concrete whatsoever.

People are slowly hating him for his constant talk with the media on him leaving Lille.

It could be work for us or against us. Best not to take Bayern's result tonight too much into next week.

First time Bayern conceded 5 in a match since April 2009. And this... Sour grape!

Epic fallover by Ivanovic. 10/10 that.

Bayern were pretty average tonight. Their defence looked real dodgy even with their first choice back 4. It felt as if they already had their minds on the Champions League final and suspect they may be even under more pressure to win it next weekend, especially with the game being played at their own ground. That said, Bayern will definitely play better next week, with a makeshit defence or not. Need our players to step up and be counted if we are to succeed.

Am in agreement with this.

Bayern's defence are looking really dodgy here, and that is with their strongest back 4. Imagine with a makeshift one next week if they continue with this.

He signed a new contract in February last year that will keep him at the club till 2016. Should be worth around 25m at the very least!

Not trusting stories that easily when it comes from Twitter.

Don't forget No.13 too while you guys are it.

Brilliant!

I'm already expecting moanings about our playing style from the Bayern's technical directors/chairmen/board members SHOULD we beat them in the final.

Nothing being confirmed just yet...

Soon enough, the players would have to play with 3 digits on the back of their jerseys...

He said he will go to Berlin and watch the game.
