Did not see that coming. Very, very happy for the kids. Hope he grabs the opportunity and doesn’t let it go!
Kohfeldt did. That's as good of an explanation as any to Sargent's neglect by Bremen than anything else I can come up with.
Dunno if you've got me blocked but there's a matchday thread: https://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/12-1-wright-starts-mckennie-bench-schalke-at-hoffenheim.2090638/
Thanks man, I'm in open protest of mods. I dont block anyone. It's the internet why judge? Not a bad match A bit frenetic .The Hoff's press has eased but I think this will allow them space on the counter. Haji needs to make near post runs.
Kohfeldt brought Pizzaro back, which is likely to have had a hell of a lot to do with it. The guy is a BL1, not to mention Bremen, goalscoring legend and is still pretty effective at 40: see his 15 minutes against Bayern this afternoon. He was bought as an impact sub, which is the role Sargent would have hoped to secure. Still too early to say that Sargent won't get any PT this season, but he'll have to wait until next season for the breakthrough.
feel sorry for Haji, he is the soccer equivalent of the fat kid sitting under the basket wide open and still no one will pass it to him.
Before people get all bent out of shape: 1. S04 couldn't get the ball out wide or to any attackers except on some broken plays that lead to counters. In other words, no build up play. 2. The Hoff were excellent in their pressing defense and pressure. 3. Haji was fairly open most of hte match, but the ball went to the other side of the pitch. When he moved to the other side of the pitch, it magically switched sides and avoided him. 4. I don't think some of the first team players knew his name or even knew he was on the pitch. 5. This looked more like a coach having zero options and thinking perhaps Haji could conjure a break or a broken play.
Haji and guido playing together isn’t the best recipe for scoring goals imo. Haji didn’t get many opportunities, and the ones he got.... uh. He didn’t look great.
He'll be able to tell his grandchildren one day he started in a Bundesliga game. Also, unlike Johannsson, he kept his dignity and didn't start jumping around, arms held high, begging for the ball when the rest of the team completely ignored him.
kind of wondered if it was over for him at Schalke after the unsuccessful loan and lack of minutes. doesn't sound like he did much, but I imagine Schalke still has some hope for him if they gave him a start.
C'mon, that's a bit much. Condign punishment needs to be reserved for those who have committed egregious crimes against American football. You know, the Jurgen Klinsmanns or Thorsten Frings . . .
Um, did you forget Il Bruce? I mean he committed the most egregious offense of any coach in USA history.
