Great first Bundesliga goal.
He has more talent in his small toe than the rest of our team combined.

Overall, we were lucky we got a point from this game even though we had the lead.

Terrible defending once again.
Fullbacks don‘t prevent crosses.
CBs are not winning enough duels and even if they are way too many chaotic clearances.
Terrible playmaking from the back.

Hard to win many games if you are conceding at least twice a game.

So unless the US team pulls a miracle German NT is at two wins in two games without Kimmich.
Not surprised. He is a fake leader.

So El Ghazi gone from the club for posting Hamas anti-Israel stuff.

Just what we needed in this situation. Not.

Last minute 2:2 draw at Bochum.
Away section absolutely escalated in the 96th minute.
Nevertheless:
Spend a total of 9 hours in the train just to see punting like kick and rush football from my team.

Something needs to change. This team is awful.

Bayern vs. Darmstadt felt like a FIFA game.

Kimmich getting his dumb ass sent off early in the game, then the subsequent two reds for Darmstadt. It was 0-0 at 50 minutes but finished 8-0 to Bayern including a Kane goal from his own half. Just crazy.

Bayern is at its best when Kimmich is not on the pitch.

Next weekend vs. Dortmund. Without Kimmich and Goretzka as their potentially best players, BVB doesn't have a chance. Still astonishing to me how a real 6 wasn't Bayern's first priority last summer even before Kane (although Kane looks fantastic).

So the question today is:
Will we be eliminated from the Cup after 90 or 120 minutes?

In theory, we have at least 9 Bundesliga teams eliminated from the Cup after today including Leipzig who won twice in a row.
This season could be the perfect chance to make a deep run in the Cup but we are downright dreadful.

Svensson gone.
Gruda apparently injured yesterday.

A sad day.

That's tough. Understandable, but tough. I think we'll see him coaching another Bundesliga team before the end of the season.

Jan Siewert - U23 coach taking over. Has been unsuccessful in the 4th division.
Meanwhile we had Benni Hoffmann who won the U19 Bundesliga and developed talents like Weiper and Gruda available.

This club is a chaotic nightmare.
Every time you think it can't get any worse - it gets even worse.

I am sure we will see Svensson at a different team. And he'll be successful no doubt.

Meanwhile - we will manage to get relegated in what is the weakest bottom of the table in the Bundesliga in quite a while.

That's pretty much the only reason I'm optimistic we will stay in the league this year, because there are some weak teams. Could be a year were you avoid relegation with 27 points like HSV did at some point years ago.

Would have made sense to promote Hoffmann since the same thing worked out great with Tuchel back in the day.

Kane half-way through game 11 with one more goal than last years top scorers Füllkrug and Nkunku after 34 games. People thought no one would ever break Gerd Müller's record of 40 goals until Lewandowski had one more. And now this guy on his way to another 40+ season.

Too bad Guirassy got hurt. But hopefully he won't be out for much longer.

Edit:
I wasn't aware that Guirassy was already back today when I wrote that post. Scored the deciding goal against Dortmund.

0-0 at Darmstadt.

Any Sunday league match is more exciting than this
