Official Bayer Leverkusen thread 08-09 [R]

[Aspirin FC]

Hey guys
First chance I get to post since I caught the Bayer game vs Bremen on Tuesday. What a reat game. This is the second game I have been able to watch living here in the States, the first game was their first of the season, which I was not too impressed with their style of play, too many ling balls in my ipinion. The Bremen game was very entertaining and it seems like they are playing very well. Smooth and well oiled they appear. Is this a good example of their form of late. I hope this type of attacking play continues. Vidal had a good match, I thought Reynato played well too.

Hope to be back on top of league by Friday evening!!

Any feeds where the game might be streamed live?

Thanx in advance

Congrats on another dominating performance. I haven't seen a team in quite awhile who transitions from defense to offense faster than Bayer.

Wolfsburg didn't know what hit them and you guys should have won by more.

Even Felix Magath admitted as such.

And I saw exactly what I said earlier this week. A team so strong and dominating on offense, not much defense needed to be played outside of the midfield.

It reminded me of that 2002 Real Madrid team who beat you guys in the CL Final. I think you guys truly look like them now.

It can crumble easily though, a lot of clubs will be after a few of Leverkusen's players. There is also the matter of your 2 loan players, both need permanent deals though that will be quite hard (especially the CB that is signed to Barcelona, Henrique). I still think your team needs to hold all the players and get a 3rd CB for depth now and a wide midfielder for more depth (or perhaps an attacking midfielder). I know Schneider is still in the team, but you need serious depth if you make Champions League.

Very true, for example Vidal was rumored with AC Milan and month or so ago.

and it would help if bayern keep out of the transfer market! ;):p

Please tell me this.

How is any of this relevant in the eleventh week of the Bundesliga season?

Anyone can crumble easily, including your beloved Bayern.

So again, how is any of this relevant at this moment? Please tell me that.

I'm saying if they don't keep their players in summer time, quite a few clubs will want to take a few of them. Then there is the loan players. This is after this season is over. They also need to strengthen depth for next season (2 players as well as extend contracts on the 2 loan players), Leverkusen and Hoff have had a great injury-free season so far.

And you didn't answer my question. Just how is any of that relevant to what is going on RIGHT NOW??

This is all speculation about the future. I take it you were replying to my comments which were about the here and now.

Anything can happen between now and the end of the season. I don't see how anything you wrote is relevant unless we're discussing their long-term future, which we were not.

[Equilibrium]

Ok relax! ;) You guys were saying how they are now, and I just stated that it can definitely change come summer time if a few players leave.

Hi!

The average age of the squad is 24.1 (youngest team of the bundesliga together with Hoffenheim).

Ø-age of the starting line-up is 23.3 :


------------------------------René Adler (23)------------------------


Gonzalo Castro(21)-Manuel Friedrich(29)-Henrique(22)-Michal Kadlec(23)


---------------------------Simon Rolfes, C (26)-------------------------


Renato Augusto (20)--------Arturo Vidal (21)----Tranquillo Barnetta (23)


-----------------Patrick Helmes (24)-------Stefan Kießling (24)----------

[posteador]

Great stuff for Leverkusen then! They have a promising future if they manage to keep some key players for a few years.

Is there anything to congratulate after the KSC match? ;)

When I congratulated you after the derby win, you preferred staying away from this thread ... so please don't complain now! :p


Hi!


Hi! ;)

Nice to see another lady finding the way to BS.

[Borussia]

Btw: Labbadia had the 2nd youngest team in the 2 BL last season ... and now he's coaching the 2nd youngest team in the 1 BL.

Well, like "Borussia" said, after that match against KSC, there's really nothing to congratulate you for.

The last time I checked, you don't win anything for being in first place after week 12. Am I mistaken?

Let's see where you guys are after the next three weeks. If it is still first place, I'll be impressed then.

[Borussia]

This must be a huge shock for our 'bossy little thing'...:p ;)
