TT undefeated at home in the BL in two years. 1 defeat across all competitions. PB owned by Leipzig in less than half a season.
Bosz has made an absolute mess of this line-up and game management. Tuchel made a lot of mistakes as well.... but this was always bound to fail today against RB. Why is Pulisic playing as a WB?
PB being so bad does not make TT a genius Slash... Remember Liverpool? Remember Darmstadt? Sorry mate, I don't miss TT all that much...
True... What I meant is that BvB won't win it now... We lost all 'test' game so far and only won against average teams.
Front line had a real off day . Well taken goal from mistake and a soft penalty .Yarmalenko poor . PB got it wrong today on first real test in Buli , and team selection like against Spurs looked obviously wrong . Deserved nothing , and for me PB looking like the wrong man
Disappointing result. We had the opportunities for the comeback. I thought Weigl looked good. He was one of those who really wanted it. I won't understand it if he isn't a clear starter going forward.
And this is the first lost... We knew we were not going to win them all... We knew we had some bad games in us... We knew PB was a not very good tactician... We knew we were outside bet to win the title... The actual surprise was to be on top for so long...
I hate to harp on this, but the poor midfield selection at the onset of this match put us on the back foot from the start. At this stage Sahin is player who should be playing against tier 2 teams (Bremen, Freiburg, etc). He lacks the mobility to play against the physical, fast, and intense press that RB brings. Bosz has to know better than that.
I could not believe not starting Weigl. Perhaps he felt Aoepl is a must win and the short rest too much to ask of a fresh off injury player? Been a bad week of soccer for me.
I hate to dump on them as well and Castro wasn't only a negative today but Madrid was strike 1, this was strike 2. They are just not good enough for the highest level. Despite Weigl's probably match deciding scene that led to the penalty and red card, we rather have to make sure to try to get him and Dahoud there. They have the higher ceiling and they offer our best chance for a great midfield.
My ratings. I knew home winning streak wouldn't last forever but at least we didn't lose to Bayern. Bürki 4: could have done better on the 2nd conceded goal. Sokratis 5: was at fault for the 2nd goal. Rather weak defending. Toprak 6: I thought he was decent. Bartra 7: Not bad considering what he got thrown in. DAZ 6: None of the goals came from his side. Had zero support from Sahin. Toljan 3: had an awful game Sahin 1: not sure what he's going at the club. Castro 1: piss poor as usual. Devoid of any talent. What's he doing on a football pitch. I could compile a 20min blooper of this guy. Götze 7: faded in the 2nd half. Yarmolenko 4: just did not show up Pulisic 6: tried hard but in vain Phillip 5: average performance PEA 7: he's basically the only attack we have Weigl 4: He apologized after the game for Sokratis red. But was decent. Peter Bosz 1: he's looking more and more out of his league. Wrong setup wrong selection. No matter how awful they play, Castro and Sahin are automatic starters. Bizarre. Jurgen Klopp got more out of Oliver Kirch and Milos Jojic in the CL.
What the hell will it take for Bosz to finally understand Castro has no business being a BVB player? A long term injury is, at this point, the only way we'll know for sure he won't play. Bosz also needs to understand he must adapt to to teams like RM, Tottenham and RB, 'cause his ultra offensive tactics against these sorts of teams is suicidal.
