Another injury crisis goes on:
Besides Wiese and Jensen, Pizarro and Diego are out.
Mertesacker still out, because of the joke ban.

I am interested to see what team Schaaf will
field and how we will do without so many important players.

Squad:
Vander,Mielitz, Boenisch, Pasanen, Naldo, Tosic, Baumann, Vranjes, Fritz, Rosenberg, Özil, Hunt, Prödl, Husejinovic, Sanogo, Frings, Almeida.

We have a solid reputation of playing great games without couple of our top players(remember Real game) so maybe this will be just the same. A wake up call from our bench players which will now have the chance of proving themself. I'm thinking of Vranjes, why not Husejinovic, and Pasanen who i think has come to the moment for a great game (to many unispiring games lately for him).

Its gameday, in fact its gametime...and the Bundesliga ticker is down . If you are on-line right now help a guy out, let me in on the action, maybe a half-time report or something. It sure is sucky living in the football boonies. Is Vander in net today? Quick feet and nimble he reminds me of Barthez. A good back-up let's see if he wins this one for the Green and White. I expect the midfield to play tougher today, close down much more agressively and put some passes together (preferrably forward); the Panathonaikos game was embarrassing in this respect. Just some thoughts after 10 odd games: deal Sanogo away (what have you done for us lately?); sign a crazy defencive midfielder with big legs and bigger shoulders (ala Tim Borowski) when the window opens because the effort so far smacks of weakness; also give Hunt and Vranjes more playing time...today for instance! I like what the last two have given the team although I understand with the quality of midfielders that Bremen has it is difficult to play them; I argue that that positive play should earn some game starts - not the opposite as in Sanogo's case. Later alligators .

Okay!!! The ticker is up and the line up makes me happy ! Now can they pull it off with 10 minutes left? Wishing Armenia can score a goal right now too...here comes Booboo, better net it now. Well that's over, I hope y'all carry on a discussion afterwards, I would like your insight as I can only grasp so much from the ticker. For instance how is Frank Baumann in the defence today? Later, on Tuesday they will have the German cup match (Leverkusen?) on television Live. Look forward to it and the buzz afterwards when Werder puts the hammer to them.

Pardon that would be a league match . It's prime-time TV for Equilibrium and me on GOLTV...all that and the bottle of Becks. Enjoy! I found a recipe for making Becks at home and tried it out. I labelled it Schmecks but it was far from it!!
One of us needs to find a way to export the green icons from the Werder.de Forum so we can knock glasses and wave banners...it's kinda' fun! HEY IT WORKS!!

[Equilibrium]

Yeah, it is league match. I was kind of confused when I read that, you got me all confused.

[sting-ray]

i'm really pissed off now... if we don't win this saturday i want schaaf out.. i'm tired of this. The players are just not motivated properly

[Equilibrium]

If you lose on saturday, you will be out of title race 100%. Teams are much stronger than past seasons, it's impressing and making me happier. I have a feeling Bundesliga teams will finally stop embarrassing themselves in Europe. If you lose your next game, it's going to be quite a feat to qualify for Europe imo, there is a lot more competition.

Currently the team looks tired, we have many injury and also bad luck.
Short: a crisis.

But better times will come. There´s a lot of unused quality in our team
and it´s a question of time, that we will step up, kick some a$$ and roll
up the league.

Hopefully a short time.

To the match:
Bayer stand very compact and we hadn´t real good chances
(Bayer on the other hand also not up to minute 60). Then a typical
mistake happened, the Bayer winger had too much space, Pasanen
wasn´t at his opponent, Vander injured Merte while bounching (or touching) the ball to Vidal - goal.
Rosenberg with a class chance, but Adler with a class save,
minutes later the 0-2.
2nd goal was another against goal after a setup piece,
that mustn´t happen.
