We need a result after Hoffenheim's convincing thrashing of Leipzig. We don't want a nailbaiter on the last matchday against them away from home. Bürki LP Sokratis Toprak Akanji Weigl Pulisic Reus Götze Sancho Philipp Schmelzer is not even on the bench. Comment by Zorc: "Decision by the coach". Looks like Stöger had enough of him.
Decent footbal by us so far compared to the last weeks. Very nice goal by Sancho who had a great chance just before that, assist by Pulisic.
2:0 of Reus called back because of offside. Now a penalty for us but missed by Reus... Given the chances, we should be leading by 3 goals.
3:0 Philipp, what team am I watching?? Great pass by Akanji to create this opportunity who has been really good as the LB.
4:0 Reus. Sancho is a real gem. Hopefully, this is just the beginning of what we can expect from him. The good chemistry between him and Reus was also visible in the first half.
Game ends 4:0. Good reaction after the derby loss and a nice game to watch. It finally looked like a team is playing instead of 11 players without a clue. Sancho with a goal and two assists. Weigl looked good, Akanji used his chance and appears to be the superior LB option in every category but he seemed tired towards the end. If every game under Stöger against a CL quali opponent would have looked like this, he would have been here for the next season as well. But this game just highlights the talent and potential of the team and that our coaches couldn't get the best out of them.
Well, I don't think any of us were expecting that ... Sancho really surprised me. I really wonder if Naggelsman has signed a pre contract, its hard to understand why Bayern would have passed him up for Kovac.
