Bundesliga and the rest: Domestic and European competition discussion

Immediate response from European Clubs Association: "ECA clubs will not participate in the 2021 Club World Cup." That is all the top clubs in Europe.

46 - His 46th goal for @achtzehn99_en catapults @andrejkramaric9 on top of the clubs #Bundesliga scoring list. Hungry. #VfBTSG pic.twitter.com/QXrWXFx1BU

327 - #Schalke hasn't scored in #Bundesliga home games in 327 minutes. This is the longest goalless streak at home in the clubs history. Drought. #S04RBL pic.twitter.com/2pGJb4Mx0r

16 - Schalke have conceded 16 goals in competitive games within the last 15 days. The last time this happened was in 1987/88 when they were relegated. Omen? #S04RBL #Bundesliga pic.twitter.com/D3I7zSO6tq

in matter of minutes now 4-1. Weghorst at 2 goals and 2 assists, lol. Hand in all the goals. And 11 for the season.

shows why I don't mind if some of our youth strikers go to Eredivisie....

 

Weghorst with a hat trick and involved in every goal. Him and Ginczek (when fit) were very good buys by Wolfsburg.

RB Leipzig last 6 games in 1BL
0-0 vs Frankfurt
3-1 win vs bottom Stuttgart
1-1 vs Hoff
1-0 win vs bottom team FCN
0-0 vs bottom Augsburg
1-0 win vs struggling-bottom Schalke

that's a terrible stretch of games for the whole team. Only winning vs bottom teams.
6 goals scored in 6 games played. They are lucky that the defense is sold otherwise.....

seems like Gladbach and RB are losing steam. Shame about Gladbach though.

 

He may not have been much of a coach, but I’d like to see what Klinsmann would do about this if in charge.

This market is so inflated

 

clubs are no longer paying what a player does or has done, it's also based on potential these days. It's why some players have done squat, are young and bought for a big amount.

 

that Dortmund goal was such a fluke too, a miss pass from Lazaro and then a massive deflection off of Rekik.....

Stark had a fantastic game but sadly at fault for not being able to mark Reus for the winning goal

 

to be fair they were 10 men by that point as his cb partner Torunarigha got a red card.
