*sigh* ... I took the huge trouble to provide a proper link and then nobody cares ;-) is this Hoffmann looking like our Hoffmann? playing for Borussia too? same position? at least his name isn't Dustin! and why shouldn't we allow ourselves two Hoffmanns? we already have signed two of the million-headed Schulz-tribe (by the way: how is Nico doing? I almost forgot him) as for the Borussia-Hoffmann: I hope he's doing fine... next season maybe... come on, most of that happened before internet age ... no wavering around from Reus, ter Stegen, Kruse (rumours the fraudsters want to get rid of him...) and when I think of all this 'hypertalented' (at least they thought) players from the bad old times looking for the next career-step: guys like Degen, Delura, Baumjohann, Schlaudraff, Marin (what a career! played almost for every club in Europe) etc... yeah, that worked out! (bad news: financially it often did) hope the Lederhosen came back pretty tired from their Atletico-works outing like Barca the Bavarians don't like aggressive style (unfortunately: neither do we) I hope they'll stumble unfocused across the field and their goalkeeper is in his traditional blundering mood (when playing against Gladbach) Stindl is in, Johnson is out (injury)
I wasent aiming to trouble you specially on the eve of another victory over Hollywood ( referring to that link i mean..i normally click on them but this time....oh well lol )Seems like its more about Dustin rather than our very own J Hofmann...paid attention now that you pointed it out! Am not sure about next season and our Hofmann...b/c he is not getting any playing time...i mean not even 10 min every other game...he came with a solid CV..but so have many others.He sure can't be as unlucky as Igor Belanov but wait i think Luuk De Jong even beat Igor in the bad luck dept eh??? As for Nico Schulz what can i say .....thats one weird injury his dealing with...me being a Physio and dealing with lots of athlets beginning to wonder about our conditioners and physio's...spinal injuries can swing anyway for months even a full year ( like Dominguez) but Nico's situation is over the top! Some like Reus ,Dante...did deny a move to the very end which i don't blame them..i guess they wanna keep it all cool and not distract the team....so Westergaard's comments to me don't mean much.Unless SV crashes to the 2.liga which i doubt very much! Some of those names above that you mention what a joke ...it was written all over the sky they are screwing their carriers by their stupid moves...look where it left them.Specially Delura,Schlau,Baumjohann...even Marin.Shame to be talented and so blind at the same time with your eyes only seeing up to the tip of their nose vs the big picture. Anyway am all with you about Manu and his brain farts each and everytime he is btw the posts against the Fohlenelf..pretty interesting how he gets shaken and insecure against us....guess we owe that one to Lucien Fvare and how he lay the foundation to build and establish some sort of mental edge over the lederhossen sissies from Hollywood...Neuer is our undercover agent cool thing is he is not even aware of it. Hope Fabian is game ready and Schubert is not laying all his cards on the table for the media...3 swift goals will be more than enough to tear a new one for the lederhosen once and for all and leave our mark in the catacombs of AA for ever!!!!! BORUSSIA MONCHENGLADBACH 3 - 1 FC HOLLYWOOD YOU FIRST HEARD IT HERE
Well the joke is on Sommer this time around..BIGGEST brain fart of all time!!!!!!! Sloppy passing game all along to compliment that cheesy goal Hollywood scored At this rate i hope it ends at 1-0 to be honest
ANDRE HAHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNN ANDRE HAHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNN ANDRE HAHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNN We could have even won this...respect to the guys for teaching those Bavarian Chumps yet another lesson in life LOL@Hollywood Great evening and congrats all
@EVERYBODY What the Fack is wrong with Golfsburg??? all these superstars and money and whistles and bells for nothing...seems like they can't be even bothered to put up the slightest fight....reminds me of what Lucky said...there is simply no penalty and consequence for under performing...they should strip these spoiled breed of new players from their salaries and bonuses... Like to know whats going on in Kruse's head at the moment ?? Probably nothing but whens the next big poker game in Berlin
(maybe I have to watch it another time but) for my liking it only looked like a joke... Tasci was right in front of him and could have deflected the ball in any direction... goals like that aren't that rare... Elvedi could have done better... anyway great matchday! we are in pole position for 4th place! more than 70.000 Lederhosen walking home with lonk donkey-faces! championship-party postponed! love it! four unbeaten games against the evil empire in a row! when I saw Pep's open fly I knew we wouldn't go home with empty hands L#kusen saved 3rd place and may lack these extra percent at Borussia Park come on guys, get it done!
So KB is suspended ( 5th Yellow Card ) and will sit out against us...seems like Tah will not be ready either due to food poisoning...somehow wish B04 had all its regulars ready against us instead of this situation!
What's wrong with FC VW, is that Hecking happened. That team's CBs suck unless they can sit super-deep and just knock headers away; plus Benaglio's mediocre at best; but Hecking's making them even worse than they should be with that CB-GK combo.
I think its more the plastic culture getting in the way as well..no proper roots and club culture.Just a conglomerate of semi expensive players that wanna play in a pseudo Hollywood like club in Germany without beleiving they can acomplish much deep down..a good from far but far from good destination in the Buli. Everybody at that organization just seems too comfortable to be bothered!!!! Speaking of Hollywood...its painful to watch them right now vs Atletico
Eh, while that's all fair to bring up. Hecking's tactics are simply archaic, and he's made countless errors; so those players aren't being put in a position to succeed even their was full unity-of-purpose and harmony in the squad. A good coach would've at least sent that band of mercenaries into action with a more cohesive & useful plan of attack, ya know? As for Bayern; I was so scared after Neuer stopped that BS penalty that they were going to get Athleti to crack. Thankfully Pep's fear won out over his creativity in a big match, yet again, as his boys just couldn't take any of those chances that they had waited way too long to force into existence. I wonder if Pep realizes how many more trophies he'd win if he went into every big match the way he went into that SF last season against Barca? Their injuries had left him totally outgunned...and taken all of the pressure off. Which let Pep throw all of his creativity at MSN & co. So we know he can do it in big matches, he just has to have nothing to lose to get over that fear/cowardice/conservatism... Hopefully Ancelotti keeps up this tradition Pep has started, while breaking down the monster Pep was building up!
I don't care about Hollywood but when it comes to Germany and the Buli i can't help it...so i get very conflicted inside ( like tonight ) because teams like hollywood are absolutely everything i don't like and i have always keept away from in my life...but you got to tell it as it is..WHAT THE F.... was up with the referee????? God bless the NFL and instant replay 1.Torres was a good full meter out of the box 2.Atletico scored on a clear OS goal...every year i decide to turn it down a notch and not care about football the way i do b/c for this very reason... the referees are just screwing it massively...then am back at it all over again in hopes of not seeing another cluster fack that will kill the hopes and desires of nations and 1000's of fans around the world. I never liked non-german coaches coaching german teams..to some i may seem trapped in the past and not rolling with the times..but oh well its how i think works best and have my reasons...same applies to Pep.You know i like to see these so called world class coaches take on an average team and win trophies and championships and build them from scratch to move up the table...havent seen that happen yet.. plus when they can't succeed with a club ( normally rich fat clubs not to mention) they just pack and move to the next money pit that has been prepared for them in a different country and its business as usual. more about tonights game...how on earth TM gets to take the PK?? His not the most technical and we all know that..plus was this Peps idea or??? So many precision PK specialists on that Hollywood team that most likey would have converted that...I dunno from the looks on Pep's face seemed like he didn't have much of a say over who should take the PK...which baffles me
Eh, that offsides was so close that you can't really fault the Ref for not calling it. And on the penalty there was further contact in the box; although that was very harsh given that the initial contact started so far from the box. I hate blaming Refs, even when they do ******** up. As far as I'm concerned overcoming sporadic referee'ing errors as much a part of the sport as overcoming sudden gusts of wind that effect the flight of long balls, or overcoming unexpected rain. Especially when it's a close call that the refs mess up. RE: Coaching Giant Clubs; It's very different coaching a team who's expected to carry the play against a lot of sides who'd settle for a point against you, than getting to counter your way to a title like Klopp did with Dortmund or Ranieri did with Leicester. That's why plenty of coaches who excelled with mid-table talent failed when given opportunities at bigger clubs. This is why Pep Guardiola's tactical innovations; and the influence he's had on german coaches like Tuchel/Nagelsmann/Schubert; are impressive. Guys like that are advancing the way teams create goals with the ball, not just the way teams get on the counter. I have serious criticism for the way Pep approaches big matches, and some of his personal-fetishes (like playing Xabi Alonso); but he's a guy who's changed the way this sport was evolving for the better. And he's done so to the german game as well, even if he doesn't have the CL title from his time in Bavaria that some expected him to deliver.
they got two days off, don't know if this is good or bad I really really hope Darmstadt is winning at Berlin: this would get Hertha off our back and save Darmstadt before they are facing us anyway first look at ourselves: we have to beat B04 (hope Kramer [CB against Hertha!] is still a supporter and creates an own goal if needed... remember? like the one against Dortmund last season)
That was an indication that the DFB's Neurologist and Physio team didn't really get Kramers cranium ( and items inside it) checked thoroughly after the world cup and due diligence was neglected...and yes i remember very well LOL We always struggle against B04 at home and away..except few years back with favre that we beat them after what was it 30 years?? Both in the league and pokal...so id be happy with a draw which will leave us on thin ice...but i would have liked Belarabi fit against us...and see how the boys handle him.Even without him they just seem to have our number....end of the day it comes down to how bad we want the points and of course the new kits will be unveiled ..lets see if they are a good omen?? Even Darmstadt is a very very tough physical side if u ask me and the kind of stadium they play in is a killer for big teams with fancy stadiums...i know it makes no sense but when i used to play stadiums like that seemed just more difficult to play its one of those unwritten rules .. like our very own beloved Bokelberg.( of course Bokelberg was not comparable to Darmstads home field but u get my point) ..and they played very well in the first fixture against us. Its great we will play in Europe one way or another..but getting into the CL back to back years will do us much needed good.From rock bottom after the 5th week in the league to this will be huge not to mention the financial boost we will get
and here exclusively the continuation of the last line of your pic: Kramer (in BILD), about coming back on saturday: "I really liked to play for Borussia, for me the atmosphere at the Borussia Park is the best in Bundesliga." "I'm a Dahoud-supporter. He simply has that certain something. [poster's note: and you're his perfect complement for DM so come back... hurry!] "I give him credit for becoming a topic for the national team soon." "He [Xhaka] now is captain of a team which knocks at the Champions League's door - he doesn't have to leave at all cost. I put it this way: You often overrate something you don't have. And underrate something you have."
For purely subjective reasons, Kramer is my favorite top league footballer right now. ...and it's not exclusively because of his love for Tusche...
Nice post my friend...pretty much covered it all short and snappy...I always liked Kramer now i even like him more...its just that players that come on loan..you don't get to miss them much since you already know they will go...specially if they are at Gladbach with a very limited budget...Kramer coming back would be something magikal...and we all know it will not happen
At least its not because he looks very similar to to that guy ...the MAD Mag guy..whats his name ?? the ginger fellow??
"What, me worry?" Oddly enough, my sister dated the guy (and his dad was my physics prof) that ended up marrying the publisher's daughter....
subjective reasons are the best! liked Tusche, too (long long ;-) way before Kramer mentioned him)... [your GK is going to Rio I heard, not bad!] contrary to the usual, modern, totally 'focused' players, Kramer seems to be interested in a lot of things besides his career (he's still visiting Bochum-matches I heard, apparently he kept some supporter-genes alive), sometimes he's even openly musing about the path of society (some people don't like this) maybe we get lucky and L'kusen is letting him go....
there is some whispering that the Kramer-Schmidt-relationship might be a little bit tense ... but I don't know for sure
