Marchisio said he was struggling, so I would rest him for weekend due to Melo being suspended. I don't think my line up would feature, we will hopefully see rez and Del Piero up front but I don't want to see a 3 DM's in a game with such high importance. We need to score. Bayern can get one but I doubt they can get two.

Camo will most likely play too, since he's only played a relatively short time against Merda?

Manninger
Cáceres-Canna-Legro-Grosso
Camo-Melo-Marchisio
Diego
Trez-KingAle​

Would mean dropping Momo, who's strength we could use. Will be interesting to see which one he starts. Having said that, wasn't Marchisio completely worn out after the game on saturday, not fully fit? Momo for Marchisio then, probably.

If Trez is fit, we should play that duo imo.

@ Stephan, DP will start if Ferrara fields the 4-3-1-2 and hopefully with Trez. If Ferrara decides on the 4-2-3-1 than DP won't and should not start
If he switches to 4-2-3-1 now, he's got some balls. Won't happen though, he just beat Merda with a 4-3-1-2.

Ale is playing.

4-3-3

Butt

Lahm - v.Buyten - Demichelis - Badstuber

Muller - v.Bommel - Schweinsteiger

Robben - Gomez - Olic
Exactly what I said pages ago:D
Just switch Bommel and Schweinsteiger. Bommel will never play on the wing
The flanks. We gotta defend the flanks.

Before we played Inter, even the birds knew their starting XI. With a midfield consisted of tough guys like Motta, Stankovic, Cambiasso and Muntari (no clear wingers or attacking full backs in the team), Ciro decided to counter that with more muscles in the center of the pitch. In the end, at least result-wise, it worked.

Now we have a different situation. We have a team whose main power is obviously on the sides. You have Lahm, Robben and even Muller attacking from one side and Badstuber, Schweinsteiger (he might play more centrally, but he can easily attack from the wing) and a very fast Olic attacking from the other side.

We simply can't play 4-2-3-1. It will leave Grosso and Caceres isolated against 2 or even 3 quality AND fast opponents because neither of Giovinco/Del Piero or Camo will offer support to our full backs. They will keep attacking us from the flanks and we gotta stop them. If we do, then we'll do 90% of the job because they won't have a second option to attack us centrally, because they lack quality CMs there.
We need support for Grosso and Caceres, that should be clear to everyone, especially Ferrara.

Imo, it should be done with the exact same line-up that played against Inter. Marchisio to help Grosso and Sissoko to help Caceres. These two move a lot to cover the flanks and even be involved in the midfield battle, where sometimes Melo and Diego will find themselves alone vs Van Bommel.

My formation:


GK
LB CB CB RB
Marchisio Melo Sissoko
Diego
Del Piero Amauri/Trez​

Too attacking. :p

4-4-1-1.

Your team, but Camoranesi, at right midfield, instead of Del Piero and move Marchisio to left mid.
