Yeah I see. I don't think you actually had many more points this stage last season. You were higher on the table, but remember last season, Juventus started horribly, and Roma dropped points a number of times. I think at this stage you had maximum 30 points, as I sort of remember you ending the first half of the season with 33 points or something. I think another real problem I see in your team is that a lot of the players seem confused and miscommunicate a lot. I honestly think that the team could be much better if they could just communicate a bit better and understand each other. I hope Bernardeschi especially makes a jump, along with the whole team. I hope you make some good transfers in the winter. Try for someone like Gylfi Sigurdsson from Swansea. Also try to get a better goalkeeper like: Sommer from Monchengladbach, or Perin from Genoa. I wonder as well if you could try for Immobile, Ljajic, and maybe Zappacosta.
Vs tottenham we had also alot of injuries and we were tired playing 3 competetitionns but what nicky said.

Going to be a tough two legs. They have a squad who are more than capable of fighting in Europa. If Sousa doesn't pick the strongest possible line up, we'll get knocked out.
In attack they have Hazard's less successful younger brother. No stars per se but a cohesive team nonetheless. They started the season rough but have been improving a lot since the new year, only losing 1 game in their last 8 (which was a friendly). They finished with 55 points last season as a guesstimate to how good they were then. It's not a team Sousa should be taking lightly if he intends for us to go through to the next round.
Very young team, compact and gifted. But i saw the game vs Barcelona FC in the championsleague at Camp Nou and they where absolutly helpless. Lucien Favre (swiss coach) managed this team for a while, and he's knows for offensive technical football. He also pushed some Talents, he bulded a young dynamic squad. But for us its a good challenge. http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/borussia-monchengladbach/startseite/verein/18 Yann Sommer is an excellent keeper, in defense they have Christensen, Kolodziejczak from Sevilla, midfield Kramer and Dahoud, Hazard and Lars Stindl. Good team. First leg away from home it's a very tough game.
Great win. They had some golden opportunities but were woeful in front of goal. Never took any of their chances. I am thinking Fiorentina can beat them in the home leg.
This is all you need to see: https://streamable.com/fl04m Perfect shot, the GK had no chance (can be seen in the replays) Sousa was tactically very good today. I was quite impressed with how the team played. Borussia got really frustrated near the end and we had a few chances to make it 0-2. Good win. Happy Birthday Berny.
We could loose 5-1 tonight, i saw the same game. But Gonzalo is all. Agresssive leader , master chief in our 3 man defense. Honestly Gonzalo and Astori fro the next 2 years, pay him what he wants and dontlet him go. bad performance again tonight versus wild gladbacher. We will pass for shure we are on the papper the better team, just struggling so hard. second game from fiore this season we couldn't get possession..... happy for the important win but disgusted by our performence.
Will likely miss the game at work. DVR'ing it to watch tonight. Not sure about you fellas but I'm feeling optimistic
FIORENTINA (3-4-2-1): Tatarusanu; Sanchez, Gonzalo, Astori; Chiesa, Vecino, Badelj, Maxi Olivera; Borja Valero, Bernardeschi; Kalinic. BORUSSIA MONCHENGLADBACH (4-4-2): Sommer; Jantschke, Christensen, Vestergaard, Wendt; Herrmann, Kramer, Dahoud, Hofmann; Hazard, Stindl.
better then stream zattoo rsi2 swiss italian cahnnel bringing the game too.....in italian better then german on sport1 heheh
Anyone know what that penalty was for? It didn't look that clear. Maybe it was a handball by a Fiorentina player that we didn't see? Thats my guess.
