Bürki LP Hummels Zagadou Hakimi Can Witsel Guerreiro Sancho Haaland Hazard As usual, Favre found something that worked and sticks with it. Brandt is back on the bench from his injury at least. Bremen are 17th and have as many points. Despite that, we had our problems with them the last few encounters.
3 Games in 8 days with the exact same lineup... LF is settings us to fail big here against a team that beaten us less then a month ago. Who's going to get injured? Who's going to be dead tired after 30 minutes? Let's find out...
Bremen seem to invest and run more, we look like we had a tough midweek game. Our flow for extensive periods is missing so far but the conditions with heavy rain weren't the best. They did run out of steam considerably in the Cup game so I guess not going down by two goals would be great.
Pretty bad game. Bürki prevented Bremen's best chance, I thought that would have been an easy 1 on 1 for them. Hakimi has these up and downs and today he's making bad decisions in defense and offense. He's also struggling against their pressing but he isn't alone there. We miss someone who can consistently bring our offensive guys in good positions. But they often have to fall back to get to the ball and with only a striker and two wingers, there isn't much firepower there when they have to create it themselves.
Can is a superb signing, what a bargain for 25M... I liked Weigl, but Can is one class higher than him
Better by us in the second half and an important win. Bayern almost lost points yesterday. It was a bit strange that the subs started only at the 75th minute and the last two at the end of the game giving less rest for the subbed players. The coming weeks will be very hard, Freiburg, Gladbach, Paris, Schalke, Wolfsburg, Bayern...After Brandt, Reus will hopefully return soon as well but you cannot play all these games with the same 11.
Reus has to do all his best to return to first 11, sorry but his form was very bad, he is no better than Hazard at the moment.. Reus is not irreplaceable
I think you meant we should not rather then we cannot play all these games with the same 11. Remember LF is in charge of our sqad so we definitely can play with the same 11 all the time!!
Remember when we won 2 titles in a row with Klopp? What was interesting about it, he won it with old school type of coaching, he almost never changed the first 11..
Yes, but keep in mind his last season ... he ran those players so far into the ground that injuries crippled the team towards the end. The geggen press didn't help ... i'd like to see Balerdi given a chance. Looks like Dahoud will b on his way out come the summer. The lack of game time has regressed his career badly.
Im afraid Padeborn, Leipzig and Leverkusen games will be fatal to us.. We should have won against Pade and Leipzig and in the worse case draw against Lever, we would have 7 points more and be in the top of the table now..
But same thing with this Lpool team, he only rotates in those silly cups, in the important league and CL games, in 90% games the same squad is playin.. I mean there is no team in the world that has the same quality in 18-20 players, that doesnt exist, so almost every team plays that 14-15 players almost 80-90% of the season, those 4-5 are not happy with their playing time and thats normal. I dont like coaches like Tuchel, thats not normal to me, every single match that guy has different 11 players and system, you cant win shit with that kind of crazy rotating cause there is no room for consistency. But i must admit, some thing i dont get it with Favre, when you have comfortable lead, why Morey and Balerdi dont ppay even 5 minutes? I wonder what will happened in the summer transfer, we will have to go with almost whole bench rebuild, cause Gotze, Dahoud, Schmelz, Akanji?, Schulz?, theres a bunch of questions in the air. I am praying for Ten Haag guys!
When you add Delaney (will hardly get his position back), Hakimi and Piszczek who will leave/ don’t get new contract, plus Sancho and maybe even Haaland when temptation will be too big, there won’t be many left. Unless we’ll get a new coach who will introduce a new order. The game yesterday could have gone either way, and by continuing like this we are going to drop many points
I see us beating Bayern at home or RBL and then dropping points against Schalke and Wlf... I think Bundesliga is lost, i mean Bayern will 90% be champions, i just dont see RBL capable compete with them till the end, they will drop more points than Bayern for sure.. But i wish we can pass PSG and become some dark horsw in CL like Ajax last year, with some luck, we can definitely do something like that. Just imagine if we survive Paris and then draw Atalanta... Damn I mean they are dangerous, but we are far better team when it comes to players quality
