German football 2019/2020

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I wasn't able to watch closely today, so I might be wrong, but it looked like Hitz must've made 45 saves.

Yet again, another draw. I guess not a terrible result away against Schalke, but if we were playing well, a draw is not a good result against the caliber of team we faced, regardless of if it was the Derby or not.

Theres 4 clubs currently in BuLi who’d wither away if outside support went away entirely: Wolfsburg, Leipzig, Leverkusen, Hoffenheim. None of them would be a huge loss.

Jain. Mainz is of similar size as a club and has managed to stay up for a remarkable period of time without such support. So it really depends on how well they would be managed without the sponsorship.

This is what happens when the coach refuses to have strikers in the squad.



And there's absolutely nothing to see here. Only three points back in the league!

As Lars' tweet says, the problems with the team's attack right now are so far beyond a striker.

I was referring to the response. Our attack is astonishingly bad right now. It’s almost hard to believe a team that maintains some semblance of possession could be so bad at turning possession into goal scoring chances. Surely we’d at least get some chances when other teams make errors.

And I also agree that it’s not only about the lack of a striker. I don’t doubt the players. I doubt the system and how the coach is motivating the players.

German amateur football has a severe problem with violence.
"Deutliches Stopp-Zeichen": Streik der Berliner Schiedsrichter

Here where I live we had similar actions of violence in youth football. 15/16 year olds. WTF!

Bayern losing in the Pokal via an own goal from...Alphonso Davies.

Though from what I've read Bayern fans still think he's been the best player for them for the last 2 games (including this one)...and he's being played out of position again.

And then came the 83rd and 89th minute. Business as usual.

And even though they won they still treat it like a disaster in Munich. I guess anything short of a 5-0 in a cup tie vs a lower tier opponent is scandalous for the folks at the Säbener Str.

If only Schalke and Dortmund had strikers who can score.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Playing Gladbach is an automatic victory for us. 10 wins in a row against them.

Has anyone seen much of Johannes Eggestein of late? Seems like they’re trying to turn him into a midfielder now and he seems to be falling further and further away from the promise he once had.

He’s just make a late run as Balon D’or candidate.

May I say that I like what Red Bull did to Volkswagen? 1:6, good stuff.

Some nice derbys this weekend.

düsseldorf-köln
leverkusen-gladbach

and of course

union-hertha
did they even play each other in pro football? serious question.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

They were in the 2.Liga together in 2010/11. I remember those matches. But for obvious reasons theres not much of a history of those teams playing each other..

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Edit: Accidental multi post.

Every time they play helps Union even if Hertha win just because it positions Union as an equivalent alternative to the not widely liked Hertha.

I remember a report that Union and Hertha had some kind of friendship during the GDR/FRG times in the eighties. Long gone I guess. I bet they had some history in the early days of last century. Union is only 50plus years old on paper, but their roots are far older. Interesting history btw., could only happen in Berlin.

Leipzig- Wow! They are destroying Mainz.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

It's time to turtle, and collect our draw.

LOL Bayern.

Once Hertha started collecting fans in the East as Berlin's most successful club those days of friendship were definitely over.

Dortmund back to last year's form of merely sleepwalking through the first half instead of sleepwalking through the entire game.

Playing a bit better defense and Hitz has been good.

Yeah, pixx poor Dortmnd just got destroyed by Frankfurt 5:1. Disgusting effort. Oh wait, Dortmund is 2nd after 10 games.
