No newsflash, but Thiago out 6-8 weeks...Lahm or Kroos as replacement?
ETA: Kroos up front, Lahm/Schweine in DM

Also, Rafinha and especially van Buyten looked horrible Saturday, though Starke was off too...I'm not reading too much into a draw in which we rested 7 starters, but just shows you how important guys like Boateng/Javi and Neuer are

Now let's get some road goals at Old Trafford!

Had a wedding in Shreveport this weekend, so I'm late on Saturday's match, but Jesus...

Good news first...we can play our b-squad the rest of the way in the league if we can get past ManU...other B'liga teams who are complaining can sit on a pole.

Bad news...take a seat, may be a while...

This'll sound arrogant since we have the Meisterschale in hand, but what a way to waste history. Such a legitimate chance to finish the league undefeated....Starting three way too young players (Hojberg, Weisermeister, Sallahi)...you can start one with a half-decent XI, but not all 3. I'm all for concentrating on CL matches; lets face it...that's all that matters. But this failing to score a goal in 65 matches is more of a mental detriment than playing Alaba & Rafinha/Lahm instead of two very green players.

Moreover, I feel like this game gave ManU even more material to help park the bus in the second leg. Granted, he didn't have great assistance, but Mandzo (admittedly my guy) isn't quite right. This machine that couldn't be stopped seems to have just died with Thiago's injury (that's had so much more of an impact than I thought it would). It just looks like the team is so cold sending tries into the box...had maybe 3 in the derby.

Looks like Starke is out for the year with an elbow injury, so Neuer may have to play out the season in all 3 competitions (jeez did he run out of the box a lot against Augsburg...the risk of him being more tired hurts more than Alaba sitting out the first half...dude ran more than Van Buyten did).

Stepping back from the ledge now, but this team isn't right heading into a must-win at home. Confidence seems like it shrunk as soon as the CL Theme was played at Wembley and our dudes were grinning like schoolgirls.

We better win Wednesday...
