There's no doubt it feels great to improve like that. It's a little unfortunate that when Bayern do beat us they cream us though...
It's happened twice. First time tactical. Second time the team just didn't show up. I hope next year with Dahoud and Gotze we best Bayern by playing our style. But until Robben is gone, I doubt that will happen.
Robben is an anomaly, I don't know how he keeps up at this level. However, the team would be remiss in not looking to the future.
He is one of the best players in the world. A player who is so predictable yet needs 2 players on him and is still such a threat is irreplaceable. Apart form Hazard there is no one who can take on that mantle realistically.
Reading a lot that Castro was subbed off for a tactical change. I call BS. You need a tactical change when the current set of tactics involving Castro is dysfunctional because he sucks.
Yeah ESPN noticed that too. Besides he did have Raphael up front and Bender partially to help him out as well.
The 1-0 victory was also important. Say Bürki and Raphael didn't get injured, Götze returned to fitness as we had hoped, closed the Dahoud deal in January. We could have been in the title race.
