Matchday 13: VfB Stuttgart 3-1 Bayern Munich

By: Jan | November 10th, 2007

Serving the most important result first, before regular matchday coverage resumes tomorrow. Goals by Gomez and Bastürk for Stuttgart and Luca Toni scored a late consolation goal for Bayern. Lucio will miss a couple of matchdays after his red card, and different to the commentator in this video, it looked very much like a deserved red card for him when I saw the scene on TV.

  I will keep saying it until I make everyone sick: Bayern are just not that good in a 4-4-2. The two holders (Ze Roberto and MVB) in front of Altintop/Ribery/Sweinsteiger (or Kroos) controls the midfield and opens up the attack. What does this mean, well I should replace the General

  I was actually surprised this game took place considering Bayern had only played against Bolton on the Thursday evening. Was wondering if this was their decision or a Bundesliga ruling? Two games in three days is hard enough for any side.

  To be fair, Bayern was exhausted. But _also_ to be fair, Stuttgart walloped them, and thoroughly. The first goal by Gomez was amazing, not in a stunningly-brilliant, this-is-what-football-is-all-about way, but in a get-it-done, this-is-what-football-is-all-about way. And I’m consistently amazed at how Gomez can score with his hair if needs be.

  Although on the stunningly-brilliant front, Jan, are you going to be able to come up with some clips of Diego’s goals from yesterday? I’d love to see them, and I can’t seem to find them anywhere on the internet.

  Chris: given the way Rummenigge has talked about Hitzfeld lately, you should have your CV and a ticket to Munich ready.;-)

  OS Guy: Yeah, that’s due to a stupid ruling by the Bundesliga, or better, a stupidly rigid TV contract that doesn’t allow to move another fixture to Sunday…

  Angharad: I’ll see what I can do about the two goals by Diego…

  This was terrible… they just lacked any energy at all on the field. It was like watching 11 guys who’d never played with each other before. I think it was a mistake to rest Van Bommel. If you ask me, he’s the midfield general.

  Chris, I’m starting to believe you, but not because of this game.
