And Izet Hajrovic messes up the chance to score the 4:3 for Werder

by rwo power Fri Sep 12, 2014 9:16 pm

I bet now Bayer will score from the FK....

Leverkusen are pretty much Hoffenheim with better players

by urbaNRoots Fri Sep 12, 2014 9:16 pm

Gotta give credit to Werder Bremen for their fighting spirit, they came back twice and just missed another huge opportunity.

why did he not pass scratch

by urbaNRoots Fri Sep 12, 2014 9:18 pm

I forgot they signed Drmic, how is he not starting over old man Kießling...

by rwo power Fri Sep 12, 2014 9:19 pm

Well, ask Roger Schmidt...

FT Bayer 04 Leverkusen 3:3 Werder Bremen

by urbaNRoots Fri Sep 12, 2014 9:24 pm

Real football is back cheers

by EL Patron Fri Sep 12, 2014 9:24 pm

entertaining game but some poor defending on show, Leverkusen deserved to win but they din't take their chances and defended like a pub team, Werder battled well to come back so they deserve the point.

by rwo power Fri Sep 12, 2014 9:28 pm

Well Bayer's goal difference is 9:5 after 3 matches. They leak lots of goals, but score more. Sounds like Werder Bremen of old.

Kiessling has started the season well. Drmic is a scrub, cost Belgium a World Cup semifinal.

Josip Drmic is Swiss :coffee:

Leverkusen's aggression setting is on 100, whenever a player is on the ball they all press him rather than covering the open players. Bremen's first and second goals were big examples of that.

In the end though, Leverkusen only have themselves to blame tbh. Missed way too many chances, could have been leading 5-0 in the first half Laughing

I think Schmidt needs to rethink of the team's shape and mentality during the dying minutes of the game, leaves too much space due to player tiredness and the opposing team bringing on more attacking players.

Also you don't surrender that many set pieces, to a specialist like Calhanoglu he's going to hurt you.

by McAgger Fri Sep 12, 2014 9:31 pm

He's talking about Drmic bottle job against Argentina.

I'm fairly certain the Swiss would've beaten Belgium.

by El Gunner Fri Sep 12, 2014 9:33 pm

Leverkusen should've finished off the match in the first half at 1-0. Conceded 2 quite similar goals thereafter due to a non-disciplined attacking game.

Bayer Leverkusen - Crossbar Challenge:

Spoiler:

Fun result if you look where Werder are and where Bayer ended...

Ulreich - Klein, Schwaab, Rüdiger, G. Sakai - Oriol Romeu, Gentner - Harnik, Leitner, Ti. Werner - Ibisevic

Götze with a nice goal.
Badstuber injured shortly before half time, 17 year old Gaudino on for him :bow:

nothing with the knee though, seemed like a muscular problem.

leaving Draxler out and playing both Aogo and Fuchs.
Huntelaar on the bench.

what's going on there? Are they not fit? Or is Keller aiming for a early exit?

by rwo power Sat Sep 13, 2014 5:15 pm

AFAIK Draxler is not fully fit (muscle strain). The Hunter isn't fully fit either.

FT Borussia M'gladbach 4:1 Schalke 04

Yann Sommer absolutely beasting :bow:

by ProXima Sat Sep 13, 2014 8:24 pm

First Kruse game after injury and immediately goal and two assists. Finally Max & Raffael duo is back, but I didn't expect that Schalke is soooooo shitty. They will be totally raped in London, I can't even imagine it.

Sommer was brilliant.
