well, if we wont win against them without their best player and 1st choice keeper...will be a bit embarassing.

Our team is made up mostly from young talents that have a bright future ahead of them while their team is the finished article of player in their peak. I'm not saying we can't win, just that it would not be a crisis if we did not.

Don't let Jose fool you. He will be desperate to win the Super Cup so hes got a trophy and a platform to build on this season. He always wants to win trophies. The fact its against Guardiola, he will be going all out to win it. Hes just bigging Bayern up so theres all this pressure and expectation on them and no pressure on us to win it.

Manuel Neuer, Frank Ribery and Thiago are all out for Bayern for the Super Cup game against #Chelsea this friday through injuries.

Erm, don't think Ribery and Neuer are injured at all. Apparently, those usual BS Twitter rumours came because someone used the German Super Cup team news or link and said they aren't available. (they didn't play vs Dortmund then due to injuries)

[Jase 43,479]

Just found that Bayern are playing tomorrow (Tuesday) away against Freiburg in the Bundesliga, just 3 days before this Super Cup match.

Thought they would have like 5 days to rest and prepare for this as compared to us just having 3.

Oh for crying out loud!

Neuer and Ribery aren't injured! There wasn't even a mention of it in their match preview vs Freiburg tomorrow - http://www.goal.com/en-gb/match/112886/sc-freiburg-vs-fc-bayern-m%C3%BCnchen/preview. Only Thiago is absent for them and Martinez apparently.

Martinez , Thiago are out and Bastian may not be fully fit

[The Skipper 20,593]

Martinez

Delighted if true. Martinez would've bossed our pivot.

[Mouri_Matic 560]

Even with those players out they still have a quality team. Gotze, Robben, Mandzukic, Mueller, Kroos, Bastian

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

How has Gotze been doing?
