Date: 07-30-15 Location: Wörthersee stadium Time:20:45 Projected lineups: WAC: Kofler - Standfest, Sollbauer, Hüttenbrenner, Palla - Tschernegg, coups - Wernitznig, Seidl, Ynclán - Hellquist BVB: Bürki - Piszczek, Sokratis, Hummels, Schmelzer - Weigl - Mkhitaryan, Gundogan, Kagawa, Reus - Aubameyang Finally, the first competetive game of the new season. Let's get a comfortable win.
BVB: Bürki, Piszczek, Sokratis, Hummels, Schmelzer, Weigl, Gündogan, Hofmann, Reus, Mkhitaryan, Aubameyang I like this line-up
Kagawa will be huge for TT this year.... he's likely just being rested and will be brought on if needed. I presume we will see the FB's press forward with Reus pushing forward alongside Auba. Gundogan would then almost play a pseudo 10 role lying right behind. Love that Weigl is getting the starting nod.
Good I don't remember if i read it here or somewhere else that those two have have good chemistry. I can't see the match but'm glad hofmann scored, hopefully we can wrap it up
I think Piszczek is done. He's slowed down and as a by-product his crosses are regularly misplaced. He's no longer the attacking force of 2 years ago.
Well i thought it was obvious he reached his peak back then. I don't see him as an undisputed starter under TT but it's important to have him so that Durm can look up to him as a model for the RB position.
I caught the last 15 minutes of the first half. You can see a notable difference in the way the team are trying to play. They are actually passing it out from the back and playing it up into dangerous areas. Also happy to see Weigl and Hofmann given a chance.
What about staying at the peak for more than half a season? I mean there are some instances even Marcel is outplaying him! That's almost unthinkable. The sooner TT gets Durm to replace him the better it'll be for us and Durm.
