btw, what an awful muck up by Bobadilla a few minutes ago...

Koo has been pretty good except in the box, and almost messes up another great run but finds Kohr who scores to close gap to 1-2.

 

sigh. wheres HJH when you need him.

 

Bobadilla was really poor today. But Ji was poor as well when he came in. And don't talk about the defense. FCA had it's moments, but overall they had no chance against Leverkusen (with a brilliant 17 yrs old Havertz).

 

Koo's assist

 

Leverkusens interplay around the box was great but Augsburg let em do it.

Ji had a rough go today.

 

yikes, that bad? that means he actually saw some of the ball today...

 

played on the right wing this time & was instructed to take players on... not exactly his strength.

again, not sure why Baum insist on Bobadilla as CF when they obviously need him on the wing.

 

So weird to have one of top aerial winners at RW

 

FCA set to extend Koo JCs contract til 2019

2 yr extension instead of 3 indicated by transfermarkt

Do you think that Koo can become their captain in the future? I don't see this as unlikely scenario.

 

No. Quite unlikely. At the start of the season, the team had a vote on who should be the captain/leading members, and the ones with the most votes were Verhaegh, Janker, Hitz, Altintop, and Baier. Obviously the manager has the final say, but if your team doesn't see you as a captain material, it's going to be unlikely.

 

oh i didn't know this, so that changes everything.

 

I guess to be the captain he would improve his German. He's also injured too often.
But Koo can surely become one of the leaders (or maybe already is).

Edit: as zdrstvte mentioned the players who were voted are mostly +30 years old (minus Hitz who just is captain material).
In Germany they rely a lot on experience with a few exceptions.

 

You don't have to be "old" to be a Bundesliga captain, but there are some common factors:

• Fluent command of German
• Experienced and consistent performer who plays 90 minutes in most matches (mostly DMs, CBs, FBs)
• Often a veteran of the club or academy graduate

Current club captains:

• Hector (Köln, LB/DM, 26)
• L. Bender (Leverkusen, DM, 27)
• Schmelzer (Dortmund, LB, 29)
• Stindl (Mönchengladbach, AM/SS, 28)
• Meier (Frankfurt, CF, 34)
• Lahm (Bayern, RB, 33)
• Höwedes (Schalke, CB, 28)
• Bell (Mainz, CB, 25)
• Sakai (Hamburg, RB/DM, 25)
• Ibisevic (Hertha, CF, 32)
• Frantz (Freiburg, DM, 30)
• Benaglio (Wolfsburg, GK, 33)
• Fritz (Bremen, DM, 36)
• Sulu (Darmstadt, CB, 31)
• Verhaegh (Augsburg, RB, 33)
• Rudy (Hoffenheim, DM, 26)
• Matip (Ingolstadt, CB, 31)
• Kaiser (Leipzig, DM, 28)

The level of play is so low the match is virtually unwatchable.

 

Plz, move Bobadilla to right wing & Altintop to bench. This is painful...

 

Great goal for Bobadilla. Assist from Ji. 2-1 to Augsburg.

 

Here's how we line up today with @KevinDanso98 a new face in the side! COME ON! 🤜 #FCARBL pic.twitter.com/gRMlz4glbg

unreal, stafylidis scores from way out.

EDIT: boo. terrible defending allows leipzisg to equalize.

 

JDW decided not to play today. While KJC is just pretending to play.

Lol, in the moment i wrote this, KJC got an assist.

 

but somehow gets an ugly assist...lol
