German Football Part III

[Bon Esprit]

Pity that the relegation playoffs are rigged, would be great to have Holstein of all teams take the dinosaurs down.

Worst case for Hamburg. Would be fun to watch.

Even though the second goal didn't count, Dahoud and Shinji are really tearing it up tonight.

Hope the former keeps playing.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Batshuayi has been pretty good.

Don't know why Dahoud doesn't start every game. Nearly every game he plays, our offense is so much more creative. And he's not bad defensively, I don't understand it. Makes no sense to me.

 

[Bon Esprit]

Boom 1:1

 

[Bon Esprit]

Boom Batsman again

 

[Deficient Mode]

I was confident that Dortmund would mess up even so open a counter chance

That's how inefficient this team is at attacking

Took a bit of luck in the end to score

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I think we've been good today. Its not easy to win in the Bundesliga. Hold this result, and I think its a job well done by the team.

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

Stole a win. Sloppy at the back as per usual, but a W is a W.

 

[Deficient Mode]

Side note but I still like Sammer and definitely like listening to him. Wouldn't mind if BVB brought him back.

Better than in the past few matches but I expect more from Dortmund against the bottom team in the league. Really not all that convincing in the second half, and a lot of attacking sequences ended when they shouldn't have.

It's not a very good team though. I think expectations have to be adjusted. A win away from home is good.

I expect changes to be made in the offseason, and hopefully the team's expectations also go up.

These players can perform better than they are right now.

Batshuayi has been pretty good.

Yep. Not a bad debut.

 

[Evilo]

Watching Mainz/Bayern right now and Abdou Diallo is playing very well. Always thought he had the talent to make it at Monaco but never had a decent chance.

 

[Evilo]

Everytime I watch Bayern, Tolisso seems to be the boss in midfield. Great assist there.

 

[theprofessor]

Quite a strike by Ribéry. So much quality at every position and two deep. And with Jupp back at the helm. Watch out.

 

[Bon Esprit]

Last minute win for Bremen. This means even more pressure on HSV. HSV vs. Hannover should be a good one on sunday.

I'm just waiting for DFB to announce a change in the Bundesliga structure, so that it will now field 20 teams and HSV will be spared.

Right, they did it in the 1960s because of Schalke, btoo.

 

[Power Man]

Lol the GKs in the Werder S04 game

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Sancho has a ligament issue, they are saying several weeks. Better that they are talking about it in weeks than months. Bundesliga: Borussia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho out for 'several weeks' | Goal.com

I guess Reus was going to take someone's spot in the next week or two, but injuries are never good, and I would've preferred Sancho to get minutes than Schurrle, but the plan obviously seems to be Schurrle and Pulisic at the winger spots until Reus returns, and then presumably Schurrle to the bench. I wonder if Gomez gets into the team this weekend, if Reus isn't back yet. Would be cool to give him a debut, but they'll probably just use Guerreiro at winger, if need be.

 

[Cassano]

Would you take Bailey or Pulisic going forward?

 

[YNWA14]

Bailey over the overhyped American!

 

[Deficient Mode]

Bailey has been better this year but also over a year older so we'll have to see what Pulisic does next year. Bailey probably safer bet right now.

 

[Deficient Mode]

Lightning start for Bremen

 

[Vipers31]

On my way home from the Leverkusen - Bremen match. Pretty fun game. Feeling for Werder, they deserved a little better, but showed some immaturity at key moments. That second goal from Brandt might have gotten his release clause triggered, after all. Bailey looked ambivalent; talent is obviously there, the feeling for the situational decisions isn't yet, but that is kinda expected. Away support was really neat, too.
