2015-16 German Bundesliga Discussion Thread

Poor bayern fan, must be hard having people pick on you when you try to talk down the one team in the league who might be able to challenge you this season if they are lucky with health.

Nah, just not interested in all the personal stuff which is going on here, so keep me out of it. Thanks.

I see you're not going to last long here. This forum doesnt work like that. A shame, you're an alright guy so far. Such is life.

Spoiler:

First rule of Realgm soccer forum: you don't talk about Realgmsoccer forum.

[cgf]

Yeah when the first 12 bayern fans felt compelled to point out this fact that "nobody is talking about"...even though it's been oft mentioned that BVB have yet to really be tested by a quality side...it was cute to see you guys getting nervous. Now it's just annoying.

We get it, BVB probably won't keep scoring 4 goals a game once they have to hit the FCB/VFL/S04/Bayer part of the schedule, and they're highly unlikely to actually challenge you for the league title; now calm down and let people enjoy the attractive football Tuchel has that team playing without having to remind them that you're still top dog. Wasn't all of the attention you got for the great Costa signing enough for a team who have already required some of that Bayern-dusel to get the points that you have?

Look, that's why I don't like to be involved in any personal stuff: You don't know me. You're treating me like an annoying, dumb 12-year old who doesn't know nothing about the game, the league and is simply focussed on Bayern and them being the best team just because of the logo below my name. BIG mistake.

It was me posting as a football/Bundesliga fan and it had nothing to do with Bayern, especially not Bayern being behind them because I honestly don't care about it that early in the season as well as the media attention Bayern receives.

I haven't heard or read it anywhere. Seriously. Show me some media sources and I will instantly take it back. If you're referring to other Bayern fans posting similar stuff, you must be a reader on many more (Bayern) boards than me.

You shouldn't take the **** talk on here so seriously or Massi n No20 will drive you insane. But I heard that from 7 of the 8 Bayern fans at the bar I was at; so I assume it was a big talking point on one of the Bayern blogs/forums. And it's something that got talked about plenty in the early going when they were eviscerating Odd and BMG; plus the BVB fans in here have mentioned the level of competition since then as well.

So it's getting a little old from nervous bayern fans to point out that we still haven't seen them tested...cause no ****, we won't see them tested until they host Leverkusen and then again until they travel to PAOK during the week before they face you. We're still not there, but we can judge them on how much better they do against the teams that used to be able to undo them last season just by bunkering. And there they've made massive progress.

...And plenty of Bayern fans manage to suck without being dumb 12 year olds...

That lower rhine derby on Saturday between Cologne and Gladbach will be strange.

Most of the Gladbach fans will boycot it thanks to the league demanding tickets to be personalized(thanks to the actions in February's derby by Cologne fans) and Cologne fans want to support it by staying relatively quite during the game.

Could've been worse for BMG given with their problems in defense and build up. Luckily Xhaka's back from suspension and Dahoud continues to look good when called up. If those two got paired up they might be able to stabilize the midfield and push Stindl into the front 4, where he has looked better...though the CBs will still be an issue until Jantschke gets his head out of his ass and either Brouwers finds a fountain of youth or Alvaro/Stranzl get healthy. Hoping for something like this in the derby this weekend:

------------ Hazard -- Drmic/Raffael/Stindl -----
Schulz/Traore - Xhaka - Dahoud - Traore/Herrmann
---- Wendt - Nordtveit - Brouwers - Jantschke ----
----------------- Sommer -----------------


And VFL's obsession with Based Dost and Lord Bendtner would be funny if it weren't sad to see them squandering what should be a sexy attacking set up that could look something like:

Schurrle - Kruse - Caliguri*
---- Arnold - Draxler ----
------- Gustavo -------
or
-------- Kruse ---------
Schurrle - Arnold - Draxler
-- Gustavo - Guilavogui* --
+
Rodriguez - Dante* - Naldo* - Vierinha
------------- Benaglio* ------------

When is Favre getting the sack?

Good job by the best coach in Germany.

Cgf, Kleine Nathan and all the Favre fanboys will probably use the "sold their best players" excuse.

People actually tipped him to become the next Bayern manager when Guardiola leaves. Shocking.

[cgf]

He'll step down going into the Winterbreak if they haven't found some form by then and have a BVB-esque first half. But lets see if it actually gets to that.

It's actually kind of impressive how well you pick the best coaches in germany to hate on; what with Streich, Tuchel, and Favre on your **** -list.

Stranzl has a broken eye socket and will miss about two months.
So I doubt he'll be able to help much during the first half of the season.

Nordtveit at CB hasn't worked at all and I'd rather start him next to Xhaka(at the moment) cause that would give us a guy for the dirty work next to the Swiss international and an option to bring on Dahoud if we have to play a more attacking style of football.

The moment Peter Knäbel's available.
It's quite ironic about you talking shite about a coach who's done more in the past 4+ season then all of those 25 combined at HSV.

But hey, keep enjoying a somewhat nice first half to the season with Bruno, cause that's his strength, while he falls apart after the winterbreak.

[Foye]

Favre's problem is actually much like van Gaal or Guardiola.

He has his approach to play football and wants to play like this at all cost...even if he doesnt have the right players available currently.

Gotta adapt your approach at the game if you dont have the right players available. Tuchel is a mastermind at adapting tactics. Guys like Favre or Guardiola are incapable of this.

...Favre has played every way with BMG. Sitting deep or pressing high up the pitch; playing on the counter or in possession. They've done it all in his time there and they've regularly adapted that to their opposition...

@Det;
You need Dahoud in there next to Xhaka to give your possession some sort of stability. If it's Nordtveit next to Granit you'll waste the first hour of the match cheaply handing Koln the ball every time you try to build up and letting them attack your weak D repeatedly. Dahoud and Xhaka have to begin starting together to stabilize your play with the ball.

Brouwer and Jantschke with Korb on the right is probably the way to go on D, but Korb has been pretty crap so far and has no confidence with the ball, and Tony's been out of sorts in the middle which is why I wanted to change that up...**** Alvaro's back problems.

Only 20,000 people wanted to see the first game Wolfsburg played in the CL in six years. That's pathetic

I'm pretty sure that this was not the general consensus here. Personally, I said even before they got destroyed by Real they are not the same team Heynckes built anymore.

Now obviously there were a couple Bayern guys (like Grant Hill) around here who might've argued Pep is even better than Heynckes....Which is just as stupid as you trying to hype up Gala players like Burak Yilmaz, Muslera, Semih Kaya, Felipe Melo, etc. to GOAT status all the time.

So cgf is dictating what Germans on this board think? Or how else did you come up with the statement that everyone on here thought Pep was going to destroy Europe?

Even for an utter moron like you, this is an impressive amount of wrong for one post. But then again if it wasn't so utterly wrong you'd be gloating about this; like you have the three other things you've ever gotten right.

Nevermind that I was a Pep skeptic when he arrived in Bavaria...

[DD12]

Dont lie. You said pep will destroy the Europe with that team etc. me and truth18 said he is an awful coach who will mess everything at bayern. And you said no with adding gotze etc they will destroy everything in europe.

Link, cause that's a lie.

I did bet that Bayern were more likely to win the CL than chelsea; but that was last year, not when Pep came on. Nor did I ever say he was going to destroy europe.

But I shouldn't be surprised that you got confused by defending him this summer, as I know it must seem like pure insanity to you that someone would base their opinions on what they see rather than what they wish was true.

I've said many times that these plastic clubs are ruining German football.

But it's not Wolfsburg's fault. How do you get a fanbase in a city that only exists because of a car.
