I don't think so. Even Hoeneß and Kalle had to recognize that their roster is more the problem than the coach. The best solution would be to make the best of that situation, to get many W's as possible, both in the national league and in the CL and after that season to revise their roster. that would be a good start for the whole club.
From my standpoint, i think of guys like Boateng and James, who don't play for Bayern no longer, old players like robben or ribery and such like Hummels, who are too bad (too slow) can leave Munich. In this regard, they have to upgrade their team with young and good players like Brandt (Leverkusen) for their domestic league plus better player from abroad (e.g. Dybala).

Can´t wait for the next episode of fun with Kalle & Uli.

Meanwhile we got our next, but also our first win ever in Augsburg. And again it was an easy one.
These are confusing times for every long time Eintracht fan.

oh oh, it looks like, that Bayern have to change their coach very soon, again. Weak performance by Bayern again. And next week they have to compete against Bremen!

Good win for us against a very weak opponent.
Though, we've lost Ginter for quite some time today and only have Tony Jantschke Fußballgott as a replacement at CB.

Will be really difficult for Bayern to get back in the hunt for the title.

Obviously nothing is lost yet but they will have to go on a run somewhen and hope Dortmund is dropping points left and right.

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.


...accurate I'd say...

Well, two stupid mistakes and we lose and Red Bull.
We've got to try and start games better, cause those early goals against are not going to help going forward.

Also, I'd love another CB during the winter(especially if Ginter misses more time) cause as much as I love Tony Jantschke Fussballgott, he's just not up to it anymore at this level.

We are in good position right now.

Hopefully, we can beat Hannover on Sunday

That would mean three bonus games to make it a great first leg of the season (despite huge slump a few weeks ago).

Then we should invest in some unknown french Ligue 2 talent again, preferably Mbeumo or Aye

Well, I'm not sure how we did that but we somehow got a 0-0 draw at Hoffenheim playing like absolute crap.

Though, we've paid for that quite a bit.
Lars Stindl re-injured his surgically repaired ankle and Raffael seems to have broken his collarbone.
Both could be out for quite some time... :noway:

Those ankle injuries are nasty.
I even see this with my own body and I dont play as much as these guys though.

So we beat Nürnberg on Tuesday, while Dortmund lost their first game at Düsseldorf with Bayern somehow beating Leipzig.

Now there'll be the "battle of Borussia's" today with both teams missing quite a few players and us not sure if there are any CB's left besides 18 year old Louis Beyer.
But hey, Chris Kramer might be back and he really likes to score those goals from the center line. Sadly for us, it's in his own goal... :lol:

:lol:

1-1 draw at Hoffenheim to end the year. 21 points. Decent 1st leg of season although more points were certainly possible.

Here's to hoping we go shopping in Ligue 1/2 again in the winter. Need at least a winger.

Pretty good deal for Dortmund...64 mil for a player with 1 year left. Definitely took advantage of Chelseas upcoming transfer ban.

Earlier today, Funkel and Fortuna Dusseldorf announced that they will part ways after this season. Funkel already said that Dusseldorf will be his last employer, so life in retirement is calling in four months.

Robert Schäfer is my new favorite Depp of the Bundesliga.

Impressive win by Bayern. Never thought, especially the first half was very good.
Now, they only trail by three points...

Dortmund has a much harder opponent. Leipzig is especially very very good at home, so i predict that Bayern will still trail by three points.

Not even a 3-0 is enough to guarantee 3 points for us haha. Team gave me a heart attack in last 10 minutes. Still a good win.
Another win against Nürnberg next week and we might have a season without much risk to be relegated
