Bundesliga 2018-19, Bayern Munich or bust!

I think Minde will replace one of them at FB, but your right... it was Wolfsburg's most obvious weakness the last time these teams faced each other, and Wolfsburg still seem stupidly ambivalent towards trying to fix it lol.

So even if I think Wolfsburg a better team now, with a few players maturing, and others finally appearing to have full comprehension of their roles within the team system, I can't imagine Lyon forgetting just how easy it was to expose Maritz and Blässe.

 

Minde plays everywhere on the left side for Wolfsburg really
Dickenmann will play when she gets back so Minde will have to settle for a LB spot against Maritz..

 

I thought Dickenmann had a torn ACL, and would miss the rest of the season...?

And even if I still don't understand how Simon was allowed to join Lyon after having multiple seasons within the Bundesliga to display exactly how she could improve Wolfsburg's team.... It will be interesting to see how Wolfsburg approach the two UCL matches, just to see how they attempt to conceal the obvious FB flaws in their team.

 

Tbh not sure how long Dickenmann’s gonna be out

And tbh Doorsoun doesn’t justify herself starting for WOB at all these days...

 

If Gössling should play somewhere in the NT, it’s as a DM...

 

Yes, more offensive than Gunnarsdottir - Although moved down to CB as Doorsoun (who was poor today) got subbed off for Neto

 

@hotjam2 The always underrated offensive quality of Däbritz is even more impressive when you understand she's primarily a wide AM, and STILL scores at the rate of of forward.... But beyond Schüller, I see no point having the national team wasting any more time on forward options.

Plus Oberdorf is basically a baby Marozsan, and simply a guarantee to eventually become a super impressive young senior international. But still aged 16/17, I don't see the need for the senior coaches to forcibly accelerate her development.

Popp, Petermann, Marozsan, Schüller, are all the forwards the national team needs come the WC. And even if another attacking place became available, I'd honestly prefer options like Bremer, or Kemme, came back into contention.

 

Remember when I said it only becomes a problem for the league if rival relegation opponents start to score 5, 6, and 7 goals, against a beleaguered Gladbach... well yeah...

 

ISLACKER NO THANK YOU

Hmm Essen managed a draw with Gössling partnering Fischer - understandable as Doorsoun hasn't justified her place at all for Wolfsburg
Alex Popp injured, I don't know how serious it is - will probably not miss the WC

 

Bayern with the weirdest lineup ever lol

 

Why is Gössling’s in the defense anyway when she’s a class midfielder?

Oh wait because Doorsoun’s been poor this season so Lerch forces her into a CB position lol

 

Maier’s injured

 

Gwinn is leaving Freiburg for Bayern and Jojo is staying with Potsdam

Then who exactly will replace Fischer??

 

I think their coach recognized his teams more obvious weakness facing Wolfsburg's pressing game, and made the necessary adjustments towards his players ability to compete the second time they faced the league leaders.

It's only after Wolfsburg finally adjusted their attack during the 2nd half, that it forced Bayern back into the same overwhelmed defensive patterns that saw them conceded 6 goals the last time they saw Pajor and Harder up close lol.

Removing Hansen from the equation, recognizing Wolfsburg's weakness out wide in the FB areas, while using Laudehr as a libero was smart risk to take. And all this was helped even more with Wolfsburg missing their first choice GK too.

But for the smallest margins of a goal post, and one excellent GK save, this match could have easily seen Wolfsburg draw or even win, so...

 

I don't think Gwinn will be the last player at Freiburg to join Bayern either... for better or worse, it seems to be the nature of their relationship.

Like Simon prior to her exit from Freiburg, it just made the most sense for Elsig to join Wolfsburg. But it also wasn't hard to guess that a foreign international signing always most likely option for Wolfsburg to replace Fischer.

 

Huth’s joining Wolfsburg - most likely as a replacement for Caro Hansen

So Elsig will be stucked within a Potsdam team with zero chance
