Tearing Down the Wall: Jordan Pefok at Union Berlin

The triumph of hope over experience?

We haven't seen Pepi in action for PSV much, so we can still hope he'll come through.
We've seen Pefok play a bit and the experience hasn't left us with much hope

Scoreless at the half.

 

Got 20 minutes in a scoreless draw:

Starting today v hoffenheim. Looks like he's the Christmas tree star.

 

Out at the half. Picked up a yellow card and certainly teased that he was capable of getting another one.

0-0 at the half.

 

Finished 1-0 to Gladbach.

Jordan went 79' and was the last player withdrawn so the coach must have seen things he liked

Up 1-0 in the 35th.

 

Jordan on at 67. Still 2-1. Be a good time to snag a goal and put this away for Union.

 

He didn’t score but Union saw out the 2-1 win.

 

Came off the bench to help preserve a lead:

And goes off injured in the 88th.

Union scored shortly afterward for a 2-0 win.

 

Entered in the 65th:

Trailing 1-0 around the 35th.

 

Pefok got the start against Bayern today. Nearly equalized on a good quick turn shot that forced the best out of Neuer. Subbed off shortly after it got out of hand at 3-0 Bayern.

Scoreless in the 38th.

 

On the bench:



1-1 just after the half.

 

Off the bench after Stuttgart scores on a GK howler (soon to be online):

Jordan has come on for Jeong, and hits the bar with pretty much his first touch. Bloody hell. #VfBFCU | #fcunion | 3-2 | 72'

Down 3-2 in the 87th.

 

Berlin lose 3-2, despite outshooting Stuttgart 2-1.

Sad how he's faded. Looks like consistent Top 5 level is that little bit beyond him

 

You can check the PBP thread, but Pefok subbed on up a man in a draw with Bochum. Union never score, but it got crazy around the 90th when Bochum keeper Drewes got plunked in the head by a lighter and could not continue. Bochum had used their three sub windows. Teams left the field, and apparently made a deal to make the match a draw, coming back on for some stupid passing around for a few minutes so the match could end. More sportsmanlike than 11 v 9 with a striker in net, I guess, but not a great day for football.

 

On the bench:



Down 2-1 in the 25th.

 

Union back at it today playing a 120 minute friendly against Holstein Kiel. Pefok subbed on but then back off. Watched a few minutes on YouTube but kept getting distracted by sarcastic German scrolling comments that he should both stop standing around so much and should leave the club. Union equalized after he came off.
