CL Group Stage Matchday 1: Werder vs Anorthosis [R]

[Cris 09]

even chelsea fans said he didn't get enough chances. Its not that easy to adjust to the premiership level when you only play 5 games....I'm not being bias.

What Chelsea fans? Most have said he has had enough chanves...and being a Chelsea fan myself - I agree.

[LebenslangGruenWeiss]

We're having a streak here: 2nd match in a row without conceding a goal!

[Projekt4]

Allofs and Schaaf keep bashing the team, not only after this game but also after the one against Gladbach and in the second half of last season, for what they see as a lack of attitude or the right mindset to win the games.

Do you agree the team has an attitude problem?

Do you agree the team has an attitude problem?

Sure, they do and that´s also the fault of Schaaf and Allofs. :mad:

Players like Boenisch or Fritz, who underperform since months)
have save spots in the team. We have no real offensive midfield
option on the bench (when Özil is starting, which he deserves).
Ok, Hunt is one, but injured. So why don´t players from the reserve
get the chance to make pressure on players like Jensen, who need
somebody, who kicks him into their a**, to use their potential.
It´s all sh*t around Werder and the club management doesn´t seem
to mention. :mad:

It´s like everyone laid back and enjoyed beeing the no.2 behind
Bayern in Germany, but hey. This success (and i really thank Schaaf,
Allofs, Born and the players for it) was made on hard and clever work
so people restart working to keep the club on track.

Pathetic...

Something needs to be done about this...

I see it like this as well.

you're jumping the bandwagon of a frustrated bashing fan here Equilibrium. You are neither though so I really don't see the meaning of your one-liner there..

What exactly is Schaaf and Allofs fault? Eisenfuss makes it sound as if they are happy with the way they've been playing so far. They are not. I for one believe that their criticism is a bit too harsh.

Boenisch and Fritz underperforming for months? Boenisch is only fit since this season and his preseason was tiptop. Fritz is in a slump but I actually thought he was the best man against Anorthosis.

No real offensive option besides injured Hunt when Özil is starting? What about Martin Harnik? He's a starter for a pretty decent austrian national team.

What Werder II players could be an option now. Kruse and Testroet are injured. Artmann is talented but had a long injury as well. Bargfrede and Perthel are both more the two way midfielder types. Also I think Jensen is at his best when he feels that the coach has trust in him not when he's threatened of getting benched after the first bad pass.

It's not all sh*t @ Werder. The team is good and has loads of talented players. They have the capability of beating any team in the world and winning the league this year. They simply lack the fighting spirit in my opinion because they simply rely too heavily on their own skill. You could argue that the players are a bit arrogant at the moment.

I'm not one of those who criticize the team as hell when they had a bad game and I also won't sugarcoat everything if the beat Bayern tomorrow convincingly which they are able to do imo.

They will only beat Bayern convincingly if Bayern themselves play like crap, don't kid yourself now. I'm not jumping on any bandwagon, I just see faults and agree with him. You don't, that's your opinion.
