The Real Reboot Thread: Road to WC22

Pfft, those kids are nowhere near as good as all the upcoming talent from England, France, Brazil and Argentina.

 

whats not true?
my sentence was a simple one "Gerd Mueller's 2 goals in the 1974 european cup final are up there with the best of them."
are you telling me you could name even 5 goals in history in a major final better than them? i'll wait.

just as flick mentioned about the goetze goal "if it was messi we'd be seeing it 300 times a year", the same applies to gerd mueller here.

if these goals were scored by say a pele, no doubt you would have seen these goals replayed over and over as a reference to how great he was.

 

Bad from Schwabe. Perfect for Werner. Need some tailwind after often having bad luck at Chelsea

 

I think Dortmund needs more players with that attitude of "we're here to win and fvck you for thinking otherwise", so I welcome Schlotterbeck's attitude.

 

Nice, but I would put Mustafi on 6 to reflect his importance. Also, where is Draxler?

 

Musiala is getting better and better. At his age he already is influencing games at one of the biggest clubs in the world!

 

Haven’t watched the games - but any idea how sane played coming of the bench twice ?

 

And Leipzig having two draws - anyone seen the games - how are our NT players performing -
Raum , Heinrichs etc…

 

Haha, what the? I didn't know Bülter, Zoller and Stöger at all and thought they were some trash players you dug up from the past.

 

Watched both games.

Raum was decent but no more than that. His crossing in the first game was a bit below par for him actually. I think some settling in is still required. Hoffenheim played to Raum's strengths; creating space for him to deliver crosses. RBL so far is not like that. I think they wanted to get him supplying crosses for Andre Silva but that's not working so far.

Henrichs is being played in central midfield with Novoa out on the right. This is a position that Henrichs has asked for but I see nothing so far to indicate he is good in this position; he's just been ok. And Novoa has been useless.

 

I thought he was quite good coming off the bench against Wolfsburg until it became obvious that nobody else on the pitch was really interested in playing football anymore. Tired from the heat, Wolfsburg were happy with the 2-0 loss (they didn't get trounced) and Bayerm were happy with a comfortable simple win.

He came on with a "determined to make an impact" mentality which was really good.

Somewhere out there is a sports psychiatrist that can figure out Sane and get the consistent best out of him. I hope they find him in time for the WC.
