[The Jackal]

Guys, will Sagnol be healthy enough to start this match? I'm just wondering what Bayern's lineup might look like. If Sagnol is in there, and van Bommel is healthy enough to play, I would expect the lineup to look like this:

Kahn
Sagnol-Demichelis-Lucio-Lahm
?-van Bommel-ze Roberto-Ribery
Klose-Podolski​

Arshavin and Sirl are big losses for Zenit.

I think you guys will take the 2nd leg, but Zenit must have surprised you with their skill.

If anything, Bayern surprised Zenit with their idiocy in defence.

:howler:

With Toni back, I really wouldn't be shocked if Bayern won 3-0 in Russia.

Klose and Podolski just haven't really found their footing in Munich. I'm not blaming them for the draw today, but there is no reason that Bayern shouldn't have scored at least 2 goals today with the amount of pressure they applied.

Zenit is too short,not a single subs today.....

Now five players out in the second leg,Bayern only one if so.....

I will say is 60-40 for Bayern now.....

Yeah, I think the loss of Radek Sirl will really hurt Zenit, maybe even more than the loss of Arshavin.

However, Russia is not an easy place to play in, considering the hostile crowd and the terrible pitch condition at the Petrovsky.

I would agree with Bayern being 60-40 favourites, but Zenit will definitely not go down without a fight.
