Some nice passes by SHM to release berg and Jansen. The inability for hamburg to connect more than two passes together is embarrassing. So many missed basic passes like passes back with no pressure.
SHM needed to do a better job in the wall there. He barely jumped and ball easily curled into the back of the net. Nevermind the cup, if they keep playing like this in their league fixtures, they're going down.
The team is so disorganized its horrifying. The talent levels are so poor on top... they need a new CH, a target man and baldej to pan out.
The back four is nearly identical to last season. The only difference is Lam (who was on the RW for HSV II) moving back to be with Diekmeier. The hope was that westermann could play a more straight up DM and act like a fifth defender but he's not got the pace to hustle back, mancienne sucks in the air, and bruma is just terrible. COmbined with Aogo who comes from CDR school of positioning, and its a recipe for disaster. Nor do they have the offensive talent or cohesion to hold possession.
