Die Fohlen sind wieder da - Borussia M'gladbach season 2008/2009 thread

[Borussia]

I'm against it. :p

Really? ;) I'm totally with Patrick! :-)



Try to find me another "live-stream" of the game...


Actually, I intended to watch the game together with 2 Franconian Gladbach fans on "Premiere" (German pay tv) ... but since you simply can't miss this game, I'm going to stay at home and provide you with a live-stream again. ;)

Hopefully I'll find one this time. If not, both of us will be frustrated in the end...

Das Derby - es ist das Endspiel für Luhukay

Borussia am Boden, der Trainer vor dem Aus. Im Duell gegen den 1. FC Köln muss Jos Luhukay (45) die Wende schaffen. Brisanter geht es kaum.

[HANS-GUNTER BRUNS]

Thank you Uwe,lets hope the man decides to give the team a more offensive look,i reallyt hink both touma and roberto should play....enough being cautious and defensive ,obviosuly we dont have that kind of strength !

[Borussia]

Touma isn't in the squad again. To be honest, I don't understand why JL prefers Coulibaly once more ... since there's already 4 central midfielders with Bradley, Paauwe, Alberman & Baumjohann. Well, at least Colautti got nominated - in contrast to Rösler & Voigt (hard to explain why Jaures is favoured in a game that means a lot to Alex Voigt - who showed 2 superb performances against his former club last season). Ndjeng was pretty bad lately, but seems to have a bonus in comparison to other players...


Here's the squad for this afternoon:

Christofer Heimeroth, Filip Daems, Roel Brouwers, Steve Gohouri, Jan-Ingwer Callsen-Bracker, Soumaila Coulibaly, Roberto Colautti, Marko Marin, Rob Friend, Patrick Paauwe, Gal Alberman, Jean-Sébastien Jaurès, Uwe Gospodarek, Marcel Ndjeng, Michael Bradley, Oliver Neuville, Alexander Baumjohann und Karim Matmour.


Bonne nuit.

[Borussia]

Are you here, Naz?

The game seems to have a delay for some unknown reasons...

[Borussia]

OMG, this could become an "ugly" game! :eek: Idiots never die... :rolleyes:

[Borussia]

Damn, the "livefootie" stream obviously doesn't work :eek: ...

http://livefooty.doctor-serv.com/sat4.10/Monchengladbach_Koln.html


... and any livestream links suddenly aren't allowed to be posted in the official BMG forum anymore. :rolleyes:


********!! :mad:

[Borussia]

Here's the line-up:

Heimeroth - Gohouri, Brouwers, Daems, Jaures - Alberman, Paauwe - Matmour, Marin - Neuville, Friend


Edit: Unbelievable, it's already 0:1 after a terrible mistake (according to "Kicker") from our goalie! :eek:

Great start of the afternoon...:rolleyes:

[Borussia]

YESSSS!!! :)

1:1 (Brouwers after a Mondragon mistake)


Here's the livestream link, but it doesn't work this time. ********!!!

It works now! :)


BTW: What a chance we've just missed! Unbelievable...

[Borussia]

Wow, it could have been 4:3 for us at half-time (we had 3, they 2 huge scoring opportunities)! :eek:

The game quality dropped in the last 15 minutes, let's hope it will get better again after the interval.

C'mon guys, we need the win today!!!


PS: Am I the only Borusse on BS interested in the game? Well, then I won't waste my time by posting here ... and better move to the official BMG forum.

I fell asleep :(( and i didnt even set my alarm clock,damn damn damn...i really wanted to see this game uwe :(

[HANS-GUNTER BRUNS]

Dear Lord,we lost again!!!!! also there was a photo with neuville and C.Daum on kicker.de....almost like a fight or something,not sure?

This is terrible,the line up wasent any different either from the brief look i made...bottom of the table it is for us and am not sure if we can even shake this thing off...so very sad this situation is:(

[HANS-GUNTER BRUNS]

Am kindda glad i missed the game and forgot to set my alarm clock,but uwe thanks for keeping your promise my friend and posting the stream! we just cant get it together,and lets face it maybe we are not bundesliga material...whereas hoffenheim for example is just keeping moving up to the table...not very log ago we both qualified for the bundesliga! this is a shame and,a very huge one..its extremely getting very tough and irritating to be a gladbach fan!

[Borussia]

Our performance in the 2nd half was so disappointing (not the expected fighting spirit and only long balls to Friend) that I'm still shocked. Shocked and not that much pissed off...

Worst Bundesliga start in our history and 1st derby home defeat since 1992 - it's really depressing to see what happened after the great Bremen match. I've never seen us as helpless & uninspired in a derby as in this 2nd half ... so I'm absolutely sure that this was Jos Luhukay's last match! Really sad, since many in the club like him and had put a lot of faith in his work to form a team with future. He brought us back to the 1 Bundesliga ... unfortunately he failed once again in the 1 league, though. Pity.

Now let's wait up what happens this weekend. Christian Ziege has just given an interview on ARD, but didn't comment any discussion about the manager. My fist choice would be Hans Meyer or Thomas Doll, but Mirko Slomka & Winnie Schäfer would be ok as well.

Our situation is serious, but not helpless (we have more quality than shown in the last 5 games).


Have a nice weekend.

[Borussia]

Here's 2 match reports with stats & interviews:

[HANS-GUNTER BRUNS]

If JL is well accepted among his men,makes no sense how they are not fighting for him?...obviously you watched the game and you tell me they played like bunch of losers specially in the 2nd half!

I would like to see Mayer or winnie:eek: But we all know firing a manager is an old tradition to impress the public/media etc...i am more worried how this squad would come together and perform,am also worried about loosing some of our quality players if things remain like this at the bottom of the table!

PS: not sure whats going on with Holger Fach,he can be a great coach as well!

[Vfbstuttgartfan]

Holger Fach is a horrific coach!!! :p

If you wanna know what he's doing, he's currently managing FC Augsburg in the second league, and has so far won 1 and lost 6 BL matches this season. I doubt he'll remain there much longer.

If I was you guys, i'd hope for Meyer. Slomka would be good too, question is can you get either of these guys to accept an offer????

Or, here's a radical proposal, what about Koeppel?? He's saved you guys in the past. :D

My player ratings (that's what everybody deserves after a derby defeat on home ground):

Heimeroth: 6
Gohouri: 6
Brouwers: 6
Daems: 6
Jaures: 6
Paauwe: 6
Alberman: 6
Marin: 6
Matmour: 6
Friend: 6
Neuville: 6

[Borussia]

If I was you guys, i'd hope for Meyer.


According to "Bild am Sonntag", he was already contacted.

http://www.bild.de/BILD/sport/fussball/bundesliga/2008/10/05/moenchengladbach-koeln/spielbericht.html


However, I'm not sure whether you can trust this source. I'd like to see him back in Gladbach, too (knowing of his quality & status among the BMG fans) ... but we shouldn't forget that he feels pretty well with his partner (who works at the metropolitan theater) in Nuremberg. Maybe I should visit and ask him to do the same favour to his former club he did to an almost relegated 1. FCN two years ago! ;)


We'll see what happens.

Jos Luhukay has not been dismissed yet ...

... but the fact that today's training got cancelled, is a clear indication of a manager change today & or tomorrow.
