Bundesliga and the rest: Domestic and European competition discussion

If only Germany could produce a striker like Weghorst without getting them injured all the time

 

Andre Silva another striker finding his form and has scored in consecutive Buli matches for Frankfurt

 

Konaté about the training with #Nagelsmann: “We always train so intensively. The coach told us that we have to work hard if we want to develop. We have trained hard in the past years, but under Julian Nagelsmann the intensity has increased again. That’s good for our development.”

Schalke looking like a strong team again with David Wagner in charge, what a turnaround.

 

Amine Harit one of the top players this season, it's going to be tough for Schalke to keep him at this rate

 

Dortmund look like such a mentally weak team, they'll never challenge for the title

 

As a BVB fan I must say that as long as Favre is head coach we're never going to win anything. Favre is nothing but a mid-table manager who has never won a league title in 20+ years. I don't know why club management was so obsessed with hiring him.

 

🎙💬 @RBuerki1: "I feel we don't play like men. In situations like set-pieces, where you really need to show some aggression, we fail to do so. Our style of football is all nice and good, but we lack that 'killer instinct'." [via Sky] #BVB #BVBSVW

I don't think you need to worry much about Favre. As it stands, I have strong feeling says at top he will remain in BVB until end of this season. Maybe faster than that, depends on how the season progress

 

KICKER:"There is now widespread fear that BVB could enter a downward spiral. With Favre, who is not considered to be particularly stress-resistant anyway, the eight-time German champion's great concern is that they can't get out of such a maelstrom.“

Julian #Nagelsmann 💬: "We have to show desire and try to hurt the opposition too. Focusing on Lyon's lack of good results recently is not the right mindset to approach the game with."

Leipzig trail Lyon 0-1

 

Another embarrassing display in Europe by a German team. Sad to say but these clubs just don't have the mental toughness and tactical ability to win at these stages.

 

Lyon and Zenit look to be better clubs than Leipzig for this competition. Benfica lost again and took a further hit to their GD. So best thing for Leipzig would be if they finish third and sink to the Europa League.

 

not surprising RB Leipzig is rubbish don't let the league standing fool you and Nagelsmann still has a WAY to go in European football.

 

1/4 - While #RBLeipzig have won all their 5 away games with coach Julian Nagelsmann, they have just won 1 of their 4 home games this season (2-1 vs Frankfurt). Struggle. pic.twitter.com/HBYEFmdaXs

While Haland from Salzburg is a beast

7950 - 7950 days after Alf-Inge Haaland has scored at Anfield, his son @ErlingHaaland also scored against Liverpool. Family. #LFCFCS pic.twitter.com/C2XL4ppqZB

Saw the highlights....they conceded 2 goals due to silly defensive mistakes and Werner missed 2 golden opportunities

 

Leipzig's loss actually reminded me of a lot of the German NT games. Inefficient play and can't capitalize on great chances. And then the opponent are able to strike easily on counters and defensive mistakes.

 

Wolfsburg drew and go into the doubleheader vs Genk needing to win at least 1
BmG drew lucky to get a late equalizer and will need a miracle to progress
Frankfurt won away and will battle Liege for the second place behind Arsenal

 

Werner for me is not a big player, definitely not in the ilk of ganebry or sane, even brand been disappointing

 

Gladbach are a real risk to finish dead last in the group and still have the 2 matches vs Roma coming up. They just don't look tactically or mentally competitive at this level. Reminds me of Freiburg and Mainz in previous years.

 

Favre is a coach who's stuck in the mindset of playing a false 9. Paco is out and they didn't bother signing a proper back up striker. Dortmund are going nowhere.

 

Classic Dortmund chokers

 

always hated this about post Auba Dortmund. Enough with Paco or false 9, it's bull but he won't trust any II CFs no matter what they do and they also dumped Isak without ever giving him a chance because he prefers false 9.
