I'm all in a flumux as to who i would pick for this game. Bayern are strong in midfield, so we know we have to counter that by picking either Ambrosini or Brocchi in place of Seedorf. Given his aerial threat i would plump for Ambrosini.
Subsequently this would mean two people (Gourcuff & Oliveira) fighting it out for the final spot. Purely for the fact he showed more spark in his brief cameo than Oliveira did during his 70 odd minutes, Gourcuff gets my vote.
CB is the only other real concern. Can Nesta play 2 games in such a short space of time? Likewise is Maldini fit enough to go against Bayern?
My team would be: Dida, Jankulovski, Nesta, Bonera, Oddo, Ambrosini, Pirlo, Gattuso, Gourcuff, Kaka, Gilardino
I would hope the solid platform of Ambrosini & Gattuso would push Pirlo forward a bit more. Given Seedorf's creative demise, i'd prefer to see Pirlo 25-35 yards from the opposition goal firing in some shots and playing neat triangle passes with Gourcuff & Kaka rather than sitting really deep trying to hit some long wonder passes that probably won't come off as we don't have the runners.
I also hope Oddo plays like he did against Scotland, at least attacking wise. He was pretty good in that game. Both full-backs will however need to be wary of Schwienstieger, he's the player i fear the most. We need to be alert
and if we do that we have a good chance of keeping a clean sheet.
I also hope Serginho might be fit for a cameo, he always gives Bayern nightmares
