I am not a fan of either Nagelsmann and Tedesco.

The fact that their football worked so well last year is more a declaration of bankruptcy from the league than them being great coaches IMO.

Nagelsmann used that 3 CF-tactic countless times last season and I literally still can't believe opposing teams did not find a way to expose this tactic more often.
Hoffenheim will go out deadlast in their CL group IMO.
We already saw this last year when they were outsmarted by the likes of Braga, Razgrad and even Basaksehir.
Good luck against City, Lyon and Donezk. They'll get their asses kicked.

Although his tactics still are to be improved. I'm really happy with the way Schwarz is giving our youth players a chance to develop. It's fun to watch the youngsters develop and it will at the very least pay off financially.

Last year it was Serdar and at the end Baku.
Now it's Baku, Burkardt and Gürleyen. Barreiro will soon get his chance, too.

And hey Onisiwo looked like a Bundesliga player today (although final pass still sloppy).

It's still a shame that we couldn't add another quality winger (someone more proven than Boëtius) in the offseason.
With the current roster, I still have the doubts in my head whether we have enough quality on the wings to consistently break down opposing defenses.

That said, it's already visible Schröder has done an amazing job replacing Muto, Diallo, de Blasis and Serdar. Just the cherry on top is missing.

Düsseldorf and Nürnberg seem capable of getting results. Relegation race will be crazy this year

Hamburg losing 0-5 at home to freaking Jahn Regensburg. Bahahahaha.

A lot of factors

- a lot of difficult away/home games to start the season
- new players not fully integrated
- overachieved last season
- poor tactics by the coach (they start 3 CF's at times)
- maybe not 100% focussed
- loss of Goretzka (main guy in the midfield)

They have away game at Freiburg and then home game against my Mainz. If they don't get at least 4 points out of these games, they are in trouble. I hope their poor form will last a little longer until next Saturday precisely :lol:

Well, nice and easy 3-0 win in Munich for us.
Plea just keeps on scoring and Lars being back(and scoring as well) was a nice sight.

BTW: I don't think Kovac knows how to work posession based football and Bayern looked absolutley clueless with the ball.

Bayern 6th after match day 7.
Turmoil is starting to build sooner than later.

This team is too old and nobody wanted to realize that at the beginning of this season.

Nice win for us and we keep collecting those points.

Mainz could be in trouble cause they don't have much offensively/are too young up front.
They gotta try and find a way to score or have to hope that at least two other teams are worse this season.

Our defense was decent except for yesterday. So that should go in our favor.

Our offense meanwhile is shockingly bad.
Actually, Mateta seems a decent striker but he isnt getting any balls because our wing positions and offensive midfield are dreadful.
The attempt to play with 2 strikers instead of wings hasnt helped much either.

It doesnt help that Schwarz doesnt seem to have an offensive plan either.

Amazing turnaround for us after that frightning start into the season. It´s actually mind-boggling. Nothing worked at all, and now we´re suddenly a confident and well oiled machine. And all within weeks. Kostic has found his role within 3-4 weeks and is a key player now. Who would have thought that? Da Costa plays on a whole new level. N´Dicka looks terrific for his age. So much improvement overall in such short time.
And of course, that RebicHallerJovic trio really is something else.

And yes, Stuttgart made it very easy for us. They look even worse now under Weinzierl.

A loss at Dortmund next week could really put Kovac in deep trouble...that would be 7 points behind the top spot.

2 important wins in a row to stay away from the relegation spots.

Gbamin and Mateta finally finding their form and even Onisiwo scored today lol

Eight goals and three assists in eleven games is quite good, I'd say.
Nice win for us at Bremen and we now have 23 points from eleven games.

Bayern with the lead...Dortmund looking a little chaotic. Hopefully, they can get things going in the second half
