Some bad news for Bayern. Demichelis is out for sure and will not travel to Belgrade. Ribery's chances (minor injury) of playing are no more than 30% either, according to Hitzfeld. Van Buyten also isn't certain, so we might have Lell and Lucio as center backs. At least Klose and Toni are expected to be there.

It's a bit unfortunate that we have the most difficult game first AND injury trouble, but such is life. Should be an interesting match with a great atmosphere.

Seems Toni won´t be able to play. He's down with influenza like Demichelis.

not happy seems like we ain't taking this too seriously, simao, jurado, cleber and RG in midfield ffs, this isn't no team to play away in Moscow

Damn. This game is becoming more difficult every day.

So, in the end we'll be without Ribery, Toni, Demichelis, Van Buyten, Ottl.

Lahm will make his comeback, which is good, although it probably would be better if he could have played a few minutes before instead of a whole match right away.

Looking at these line-up changes and the atmosphere that awaits us we might have to be content with a point?

Who knows, maybe Kroos will provide some magic.

Ribery and Toni both missing is indeed a big blow. Toni often scores the important first goal, and Ribery is the center of creativity.

Kroos might indeed be a good idea, he could be both for you.

Aber das gibst doch nicht! Das ist Kaese! Haette ein supergeiles Plan um UEFA Cup Fantasy Football zu gewinnen, wirden alle Lederhosen Warmduscher krank. Jetzt gehst nichts Planmaessig.

Danke fuer die rechtzeitige Warnung!

Wird mein ganzes team umstellen.

Genau, deshalb haette ich es nicht gemacht. Ich will gewinnen, nicht 587sten enden.

What's up with the German practice, Oranjes?

Anyway, you should put Klose in your team. He's racked up more scorer points so far than anybody else.

Duh, guess who my captain is

(I rate Klose more for his creating of goals than his scoring of goals btw)

No right back for you either, apparently (or at least according to Marca).

we've played with a lopez and perea there in addition to injured georgie already this season, shame we had 1 player too many for the squad otherwise valera could've an option

Come on Larissa!

I'll buy him in the next round. Today I only play with Altintop from Bayern.

Line-ups Zenit v AZ (not sure about tactical line-up):

Zenit:

Contofalsky - Kim Dong Jin, Lombaerts, Skrtel, Anyukov - Sirl, Tymoschuk, Zyrianov - Dominguez, Arshavin, Tekke

AZ:

Waterman - Koenders, Jaliens, Donk, Opdam - Mendes da Silva, Cziommer, Agustien, Martens - Dembele, Ari

very attacking AZ line-up. Think they'll miss their midfield pivot De Zeeuw.

kim dong...lombaerts...skrtel...anyukov

...sirl...tymoschuk...zyrianov

...dominguez...arshavin..tekke



koenders...jaliens..donk...opdam

mendes..cziommer..agustien..martens..dembele

............................ari

would be amazed if AZ played Mendes as winger, think he'll play more central. Never trust these UEFA tactical line-ups, sometimes they just put every player somewhere.

Knowing Van Gaal it'll probably be :


koenders...jaliens..donk...opdam

Augustien - Mendes (def) - Cziommer (att) - Martens

Ari - Dembele

Very open match, more chances for Dickie though...

0-1 ARIIIIII !!!

So the nr 12 of Holland leads against the nr 1 of Russia

Ari sent off

And a penalty for Zenit a minute later

ahhhhh Ari gets a red card...and now they give a penalty away!!

Timoshuk : 1-1

Match over for AZ.

Tymoschuk...we we so close in signing him
