German football 2019/2020

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Zaracho at RB seems scary. Also it’s not fair to have Messi and Ascacibar squares in the same team. Didn’t see Almada at LB initially and man that would be scary for Barca at least throw in Montiel or Tagliafico!

No deal and yeah, you're right I think the camp nou would split in half if those two shared a field.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Hmm not sure KdB had 10g 20a and helped give Wolfsburg a challenge for the title . Havertz has 11g 5a and Sancho has 17g 17a, Lewy had a season of 30g +5a.

I was clearly being facetious

Sorry, it's hard to tell sometimes on this board.

I wonder if the record of consecutive titles in a row by Skonto Riga (14) will be broken.

Bayern will be at 8 barring a historic collapse this season.
Juve are currently at 8 and are in a tight race with Lazio for 9th.
Celtic are currently at 9 in a row and have integrated a lot of youth recently.

I feel Bayern is the most likely team to break it with their ability to rebuild with young players.
Juventus to me seem like a broken, old ass team that somehow miraculously find ways to win titles while playing horribly. I can't see this lasting too much longer, unless they buy the opposition's best players like they did with Higuain.
Rangers I think will give more of a challenge to Celtic in the coming years. Gerrard seems like a good manager and made some great signings.

gerrard has made terrible signings. outside of barisic most of his signings have been expensive busts. theyve spunked a lot of money on kent and hagi. kent was signed because he punched scott brown in a match last year. he was useless this year. rangers record was terrible after they started accommodating hagi into their team. gerrard did have his team punching above their weight in europe though.

I'll take your word for it. I mainly saw them do well in Europe and was quite impressed. Big fan of Morelos.

Morelos wasnt his signing. Morelos had a great Europa League campaign but went off the rails domestically. Shitty attitude, overweight. Hes physically strong and is good at rolling off defenders but hes not a clinical finisher. He basically just hits it hard at goal. Hes never scored against Celtic and has had quite a few terrible misses. Think he had 1 goal in 2020 before the Coronavirus stoppage.

13-14 Firmino >>

Although 14-15 Arjen Robben if he'd been able to stay healthy was on another level.

 

[YNWA14]

Actually looking back on it Arjen Robben would have been such a ridiculous player if he hadn't been injured all the time.

From 2013-15 though really on another level.

Mkhitaryan before Man Utd/Mou ruined his career deserves a shout as well.

 

[Bon Esprit]

Sancho already has 17 goals and 17 assists.

Sancho is the youngest player to score 30 goals in Bundesliga history.

The most impressing was watching Robben running down the right side, cutting to the left and shoot. Everybody knew it would happen. but nobody could defend it. Not saying he was a one trick-pony.

Cordoba is having himself a year. Fourth in goals behind Lewa, Werner, and Sancho is not nothing.

Actually political statements aren't allowed in German football. A lot of them (rightfully) happened over the weekend reguarding the incidents in the USA. I really hope the DFL is smart enough to ignore it and not to start investigations.
Anti racism is not a political statement.

They are investigating (The DFB not the DFL). It's standard procedure as soon as any messages are displayed during the game.
Let's wait and see what they decide in the end.
I hope they let it go, but I think they might be too worried about setting a precedent, that could become a problem later on.

Then the Uefa might have something to say...

Thank goodness, would have been extremely disappointing had they punished them.

 

[Bon Esprit]

As expected. They can't do this
"Tag gegen Rassismus": Was der DFB gegen Rassismus unternimmt

and then start investigations. Good.

 

[Albatros]

Good outcome, but the league still only does what is in its own narrow self-interest which makes such moral posturing quite twisted.

So happy Raphael Gurreiro has been able to stay healthy this entire season, what a fullback.

I've been watching the Bundasliga on/off since it restarted and I firmly believe its the third best league in Europe, Italy has been hurt massively by the diminishing stature of AC Milan, Inter etc. Those teams need to recapture their significance in terms of quality again.

 

[Albatros]

It always depends on how quality is measured, many consider the Premier League the best in Europe but I wouldn't like to see the leagues in Germany or Italy to become one bit more like it. Despite chronic mismanagement Serie A has probably given more to German football than any other foreign league.

Yet someone here said he wasn't good anough to be a fullback....

 

[Gecklund]

Yet someone here said he wasn't good anough to be a fullback....

I don’t think he’s really played fullback though to be fair. He’s been more of at best a wing back.

He is on the Victor Moses 16/17 Chelsea Plan
