That could have been a penalty.

Edit: somehow 2 penalties not called

Gotta love that classic Bayern "luck"...

 

[Just Win]

Refs might as well put a Bayern kit on....

Elvedi > Coman

Good opener for Hütter from the half-hour I caught. I liked his work with Bern (IIRC) and Frankfurt, so am optimistic about him for BMG.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Scally was good. And he did so playing out of position. I hope he plays again next week.

He looked very solid against the ball. Didn't get a chance to see much of him in possession though; which will be very important for him, as he looked very much like a work-in-progress there in the cup match...but so far he's done well to seize on the opportunity he's gotten with Bensebaini banged up & Netz being such a late addition to the squad.

He played it safe in possession. It’s not his strength at RB either. He’s more of a defensive/athletic RB. Bensebaini will get his spot back when fully fit and Netz will push for minutes, but I think Scally might get another start or two, and then he’ll start pushing Lainer on the right side. Gladbach is strong at fullback. Probably the best fullback depth in the league right now.

Yeah, I expect him to start against Leverkusen. Hopefully he keeps it up

Upamecano not with best of games there, could have been a penalty and a sending off with another ref.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

What a strike bayer look bad

 

[cgf]

Max Kruse is the best passer alive.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

What a frantic game lol another sweet goal

1-1

 

[cgf]

Damn. That was nifty.

 

[cgf]

Can't say I like that we're still whistling Tah; he was just standing up for a team-mate. Even if Hübner didn't actually say anything shitty & Amiri just misheard him, Tah speaking up was the right thing to do.

 

[Evilo]

Diaby could have had a 2nd yellow there. Must be careful.

 

[cgf]

Is Diaby trying to get sent off?

The ref had to remind him he was already on a yellow

 

[cgf]

Fun half. The pill-pushers were the better team, so hopefully our intensity wears them down as this game goes on, but we did have our periods of ascendancy too and they are certainly vulnerable.

PS - I don't know when I'll stop being excited about Sky having hired 'tusche for their halftime show

 

[Chimaera]

Mateo Klimowicz makes me feel old. His dad was playing when I went to a few matches.

 

[Chimaera]

I hope Taiwo has a good season. He can play, but was never going to play for Liverpool

Judging by his goal & what a nuisance he's making himself to Leverkusen's defenders; it looks like having a permanent home has him in even better form than he was last year

 

[cgf]

I didn't like that response from Zingler.

"I didn't whistle...You should ask the men & women who whistled. It's their right." is some equivocating bullshit. I know protecting the fanbase is part of his job, but that was weak.

It should. He’s more than good enough to score a lot at that level. I just don’t think he developed enough to get further at this stage. He also needs the stability and playing time.

 

[cgf]

Pass wasn't as good as the thought, but that was better.

 

[cgf]

Feels like a few too many half-time-beers were consumed the locker-rooms...

lol wtf was that Frimpong?

 

[cgf]

Ugh, was hoping to see us take the lead before I had to run to the lab for an hour
