Well thats a shame,thats another player i think that fights for us on the field!
According to hans meyer..seems like we fought hard against frankfurt,and we just couldnt get results..ok so prhaps from a technical stand-point we suck..which is still terrible,but i still agree that our physical performance drops massively in the second half on a regular basis...i really hope we can get roberto back in the game ASAP!

You didn't see the DFB-Pokal game in Cottbus...

Unfortunately, Rösler was a disappointment in the few games he played this season. He's simply too slow and technically limited for the 1st league ... so he isn't the right player for the offensive midfield (maybe we should use him as a striker, how it was the case during his time in Fürth).

Yep, that's a good idea.

Don't forget that the club managers often sign players the team managers want. If you think it was Ziege alone who put this squad together, you're wrong.

Both, Christian Ziege & Jos Luhukay obviously overestimated the guys and thought they would do as well as Karlsruhe the season before. Therefore they didn't sign expensive players (well, you rarely can afford that as a just promoted club) but only 3-4 additions of decent quality (Jaures is CL experienced, Alberman was the best player in Israel, Callsen-Bracker got some BL & international experience with Leverkusen, whereas Matmour was one of the best 2nd league players). I still don't think that our midfield & attack are worse than those of a few other teams ... the problem is that most players lack any 1. BL experience and obviously need some time to adjust. However, the defence is clearly our weakness ... especially both FB positions! Luhukay & Ziege have to take responsibility for not signing a decent RB, despite many warnings that Levels & Schachten (who's always injured) don't have enough quality for the 1st league. And instead of signing Jaures (who had huge problems to adjust and is mostly injured), they should have given the LB position to Daems and bought a quality defender for the CB position! Well, and then there's the bad luck with our best defender Steve Gohouri (who's been injured for almost all games so far)...

Christian Ziege surely has to take some responsibility ... but not as much as Jos Luhukay in my eyes, since the team manager gets the players he wants and is responsible for the training, tactics & physical shape (which apparently isn't the best)!

There seem to be many deficits at the moment, so Hans Meyer needs some time (especially in the winter preparation) and the fans some patience. I still don't believe that we're as bad as it looks so far ... because we simply wouldn't have been able to play that well against Werder Bremen if there wasn't enough quality within the squad! It looks like the main problem is the lack of confidence when we concede a goal (look at the Bochum, Wolfsburg and Frankfurt games, when we played pretty well until we conceded the 1st goal) ... and of course the individual mistakes that lead to avoidable goals.


So far about this little excursion.


PS: After Rob Friend missed so many top chances at Borussia-Park lately (I still don't understand why he tried to stop that perfect cross from Marin in the last minute), it's time to give a chance to Roberto Colautti (who's got fit for a longer time now) ... or play them together.

Not very surprising: We are looking for a new keeper, and perhaps found one in Belgium, Logan Bailly from Racing Genk.

"Logan Bailly could already change to the Bundesliga in winter. Voetbalkrant.com heard from reliable sources that Borussia Mönchengladbach is interested in the keeper of Racing Genk.

It was manager Hans Meyer who scouted him in the game between Racing Genk and Standard. The 22 years old keeper kept a clean sheet, and Meyer went back home with a positive report. The german club already contacted Bailly's agent to start negotiations."

For the english speaking supporters.

Valencia have released unsettled goalkeeper Timo Hildebrand by mutual consent.

Hildebrand, 29, has been allowed to leave the Mestalla after failing to make a first-team appearance following Unai Emery's arrival as coach during the summer.

The Germany international held showdown talks with the club's board on Saturday with the result being his release with immediate effect.

Emery claimed the former Stuttgart keeper had "not dealt with the situation (of falling down the pecking order) well mentally".

Hildebrand has already been linked with a move back to the Bundesliga with Borussia Monchengladbach.

Rösler, Coulibaly and Touma have no future in the team. They join the reserve team, and the club wants them to leave in winter. This club sucks.
