My prediction for the Line ups for this game -

Bayern XI -

Neuer

Lahm - J.Martinez - Dante - Alaba

Thiago - Schweinsteiger

Muller - Gotze - Ribery

Mandzukic

Chelsea XI -

Cech

Azpilicueta - Ivanovic - Luiz - Cole

De Rossi - Ramires

De Bruyne - Mata - Hazard

Rooney

I have no doubts that Bayern will play 4-3-3 under Pep, so probably be more like

-------------Neuer-------------

----------------------------------

Lahm-Martinez-Dante-Alaba

----------------------------------

-----------Gustavo------------

----------------------------------

--Schweini---Kroos/Thiago-

----------------------------------

--Muller---------------Ribery--

-----------------------------------

--------------Gotze--------------

im not to sure about Gotze as a false 9, he is no Messi, he isnt much of a dribbler, he is more of a passer i dont see how it would work so well with him as a false 9! I would fancy our chances of beating them a lot more if they do line up like that.

To date, The UEFA Super Cup remains the only trophy that Mourinho has competed for and not won.

Bayern realy fucked up with Pep I think...he is buying unnecessary players (thiago), changing system 4:1:4:1 and playing tiki taka against Brescia...fans got upset already and players disagreeing with Pep tactics. I highly doubt that Bayern under pep will be better than Bayern under Heynckess. That was maschine and now we will see some boring football ala Barca...if Bayern will get better it will be because of Gotze and other players, not because of Pep. Im sure of that. Also I could see we hammer them in super cup if we get proper players. We have great spirit in team under Mou and Pep on other hand is changing Bayern into barca 2.0 (when tiki taka is becoming shit).

I realy feel sorry for true Bayern fans, Pep could well fuck up their possibly best team ever...

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Now its reported that Pep will bench Mandzo and Schweini. Lol.

Would be really fantastic to begin this season with an european trophy

[bushman 2,043]

Chelsea better have a new striker for this game, perhaps Benzema ?

Otherwise they might get creamed.

[Clevemayer 764]

What would it feel like if we kicked them and the whole world into they're butt after what they're doing...

would love to hear the german media outfit after we would win this.

Wonderfull, although I think we've got the best team I think also we're not quite there yet.

[Beepu 1,714]

Their team looks scary, like a freak monster.

BUT nothing that we havent seen and conquered before.

Its no fun when we are the favorites.

[Barbara 15,149]

If knows what is good, he'll keep the team that won UCL last year at least for this match.

I think Bayern has a superb - the very best - squad in the world, but I feel like it will never live up to its potential under Pep (although I don't think he'll completely mess it up, just worsen it instead of improving)... and it sounds really stupid to change this team into Barça 2.0 when this team schooled them 7-0 in UCL last season. Of course the team under Tito is worse than Pep's Barça, but not to the point of losing 7-0.

How stupid will it be if he changes their winning style? If he can't work that style, he should adapt, not the team. FFS it isn't too hard to gather.

But why do I care? 1) I hate Bayern 2) Good for us 3) my opinion about Pep will stand
