Have Bayern not bothered to sign anyone notable other than Sane? This is not gonna go well what happens when Boateng gets injured and another CB? Or if two of Tolisso/Goretzka/Kimmich get hurt?

I'm sure they'll win the Bundesliga anyways but bit tougher with the CL.

lol, that was fast.

its getting ugly after 19mins.

Goretzka very cool finish. This one looks like it could get out hand.

 

[ItsFineImFine]

Do you think Sane as of now is an actual upgrade to Davies? I'm not so sure myself but obviously Sane can play on the right wing as well so I think it's more about versatility/depth.

Plus ca change.

 

[Bon Esprit]

Ya, I turned it off after Lewa was awarded the penalty.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Sane is too good... running riot already. Easily could’ve bagged a goal on top of this.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

This is cruel.

I think at this point Schalke is a favorite for relegation. They have one league win this calendar year.

They aren’t a big club anymore.

They were a big club when they were stuck in the 2.Liga in the 80s...so being bad now doesn't mean they're not a big club.

Do you think Hamburg is a big club? I don’t.

Do you think Hamburg is a big club? I don’t.

They absolutely are a big club and could (and likely will) eventually be back as a top 4-5 team. Dortmund was a pretty mediocre to bad team for much of the time between the late 60s and early 90s, and yet their fan support never fully dropped and that's what kept the potential of the club alive. Did losing 12-0 to Gladbach in 1978 mean the end of Dortmund as a big club? Nope.

In my mind the size of the club depends on the number of people who carry the club in their heart because that's the number of people who will stick with the club and can make it great again once proper management is in place. With Schalke and Dortmund that has always been and will always be a top 5 figure for Germany. (In fact Id say it's pretty indisputable it's Bayern, Dortmund, Schalke in that order). And Schalke would need to be really really bad (as in like 3.Liga) for years for that to change.

Lewa is amazing, what a year from him

Why did they cancel Ballon d’Or this year?
Ah right, because Missi wouldn’t have won it

 

[Power Man]

They aren’t a big club anymore.

That would explain Bentaleb starting today

 

[bluesfan94]

LOL, of course not, but this forum is Borussia country.

As long as you mean Gladbach, I'm cool with it

Well they play different positions, so it's hard to compare

 

[ItsFineImFine]

And so begins another exciting year of the Bundesliga.

Kind of a weird question since they're not competing for the same position as Bayern use Davies as a LWB. They're going to be a nightmare to play against when they're both on together. Adding Sane made arguably the best attacking team even better offensively. If they keep playing like this I could see them repeating the CL.

 

[Live in the Now]

Beatdown aside, I think Dortmund will at the worst finish six points behind them. A full season of Haaland will be huge.
