Good for HSV, they can now focus on winning the league. There is a lot of potential and I think this result will just push them that little bit more that they need to become a truly good team.

Well this isn't exactly the same team as last season, come on. Sticking that guy from 1860 on made it all fall into place!

So I read Gaudino, Kurt and Green have been permanently demoted from training with Bayern's first team? It does not look good for young players coming through at the moment, does it. Are Kimmich or Höjbjerg going to see any game time?

It's a hosed up market where players like Son and Firmino go for more than €30m.

With their stacks of TV money the PL clubs are making it rain all over Europe. Even poo poo clubs like Newcastle spend 70€ on transfers ffs

Robben and Costa on the wing + Müller and Lewandowski in the centre is an absolutely mental attack. Really liking this game so far, lots of very nice passes.

Funkel is the best Feuerwehrmann, get him on board! Maybe Favre just wanted to preempt a prolonged season of crap and losses and also so he can be ready when some other team with a bit more money is in need of a manager soon. Liverpool?

Edit: ha, PL thread is just talking about Klopp to Liverpool

Amazing that several Schalke players start arguing with the ref about the card. I'm so sick of this poo poo, anybody who doesn't have the captain's armband should immediately get a yellow for arguing with the ref.

Seems Dortmund pretty much played their A-Team vs Paderborn. Is Tuchel not a big fan of rotating the squad or is he just very afraid of the Effenberg-Effekt?

With Darmstadt and Ingolstadt being able to stay up, I don't see why Leipzig wouldn't. They are going to spend good money to make it happen. Glad not to see them in the 2.Liga next year though.

That sucks :(

It's really awkward to be in the stadium when that kind of stuff happens because the match still goes on but (mostly) everyone just kinda goes a bit silent. Then when it's close at the end emotions will overwhelm respect and people will start shouting about football again...

National team talk: Why are Draxler and Bellarabi on the bench but Schürrle and Podolski getting playing time? Is that just Löw trying stuff out and giving his mascot some minutes or does he seriously see them as good in that position?

The other main worry seems to be full backs. Are any alternatives to Hector/Can even considered? Why is Weiser not getting a call-up? Löw is probably too stubborn to ever change his opinion on bringing Schmelzer, but surely there must be someone else somewhere who is decent at left back. How is Plattenhardt doing at Hertha?

elbkaida
Jan 13, 2008

Podolski is probably just there to guide younger players, because of his massive experience in international matches. In the last world cup and throughout qualifiying he barely played and mostly in unimportant matches. The question is: Was the England match that unimportant to Löw that he gives Podolski some time instead of bringing on anyone good? Pretty sure Poldi will go to the EM but not play more than 20 minutes.

Will Schalke somehow manage to not get into Europe at all this season? I guess for Wolfsburg that ship has already sailed, wondering who will buy Draxler in the summer...

Good. Put those fuckers into the Bundesliga with the Hoffenheims and Wolfsburgs. I'm sure people will start supporting them once they get into Europe and win a few games there...

Looking at 2.Liga it is pretty crazy that 1860 seems to somehow manage dodging relegation narrowly. Really wouldn't mind the current table staying as it is, hopefully Düsseldorf and 60 can seal the deal next week. Looking forward to next season as there will be a lot of interesting teams in the league with some big names coming down.

Well keeping around Thiago, Götze, Robben, Ribery, Müller, Costa, Coman and Vidal seems a bit much? Getting rid of at least one of them for some money seems sensible.

Why is Kramer not even on the extended team, has he been that bad this season? He started in the world cup final ffs I don't want to see a Kroos/Khedira central midfield...

In defense I am guessing there will either be a revival of the style where Höwedes plays full back or something that involves a back three.


Neuer
Rüdiger - Boateng - Hummels - Höwedes
Kroos - Weigl
Müller - Özil - Draxler
Gomez (Reus?)

Is what I would want to see. I'm going to be way disappointed imo

elbkaida
Jan 13, 2008

For me Khedira is a player to bring on in the last 30 minutes if you want to increase the intensity of a game, I think having him around the full time is a bit risky due to his all over the shop playstyle.

So Gündogan to City seems pretty much sorted. 25 million seems fairly cheap but I haven't seen what kind of additional payments could be added on... Hope England won't destroy his health even more!

How is Schürrle worth 30 million? The guy scores ten goals a season and can't beat a defender or put in good crosses from what I saw in the time he was in Wolfsburg...

But then why sell a for more impactful player (in my opinion) like Gündogan for that same money?

Bit late but lmao Lautern, good going destroying hopes of a better year straight away.

Didn't see the match vs Nürnberg but happy with a point to start of the season. Just a bit worried that only one new signing made it into the starting eleven, that doesn't really say good transfer business to me. Or our promotion squad was that good already...or we are just still as poor as ever :11tea:
