Dembele is the greatest attacking talent in world football without a doubt.

INSANITY

by Hapless_Hans Fri Dec 16, 2016 8:56 pm

aaaand he's being stretchered off

Dembelè is crazy good yea :bow:

. His ball control and dribbling are unreal, and his vision and through balls are getting better as seen today with the 2 assists. Solid workrate too as he literally ran until he couldn't anymore.

Didnt like the second Reus Yellow (cant remember the first) the Hoff player is pulling him by the shirt towards him, thought it was very unfair card. BVB did well with 10 though.

Hoff could have won it late, but Weidenfeller actually made a good save at the end, after a not so good start to the game.

So where are all the posts for "Sandro Wagner as greatest German striker since Gerd Muller" or " Nicky Sule Greatest defender since Schnelllinger" or -especially, since the manager is far more important than the players-Nagelsamn greatest manager since Sepp Herbeger? The guy is younger than any player in the starting line up for Bayern.

Everyones favourite team sponsored by a vodka mixer takes the deserved lead. Goal socred by the greatest striker since Fritz Walter, Timo Werner. Other scores not looking so good elsewhere

by elfmeter Sat Dec 17, 2016 3:17 pm

Actually Werder and Mainz have scored since I last looked, so things are looking better.

by elfmeter Sat Dec 17, 2016 3:55 pm

Big Willi Orban scoring a header from a text book cornerkick. Setting up the mid week top of the table clash nicely.
Mainz leading HSV 2-1 now.

Not a lot of goals today

I'm watching the Sky conference and it looks still boring so far... -_-'

by elfmeter Sat Dec 17, 2016 3:59 pm

Now we have some goals. I am struck by the Schalke curse, never pick them in the LMS game, 25 mins left

Schalke - Freiburg (Sa.) 0:1 (0:0) Live

Mainz - Hamburg 3:1 (1:1) Live

Augsburg - M'gladbach 0:0 (0:0) Live

Bremen - Köln 1:1 (1:1) Live

Oh dear, Augsburg have scored.

After having me KO, RBL is back to winning ways. Is there any justice in the world??? hmm

by rwo power Sat Dec 17, 2016 4:20 pm

@elfmeter

Great day this Saturday... Not only that I'm still feeling somewhat sick, additionally both RWO and Gladbach lose their matches. I guess I should hide in my bed again and pretend today hasn't happened -_-'

Red Bull win 2-0 in the end and the youngsters should have won by more. As I said earlier, it sets up for a nice midweek game, the youngest team in the league vs the oldtimers on Wednesday, for the hinrunde title.

Schalke - Freiburg (Sa.) 1:1 (0:0)
The draw is enough to get me through to the next round of LMS

Mainz - Hamburg 3:1 (1:1)
Good

Augsburg - M'gladbach 1:0 (0:0)
New Manager affect, works every time. gladbach getting close to that rel zone

Bremen - Köln 1:1 (1:1)
One point is better than none

Leipzig - Hertha BSC 2:0 (1:0)
Youngsters playing well, Burke did not even make a sub appearance, Davie Selkie came on instead of Werner. So where are the posts for Timo Werner being the greatest striker in the Universe?

by BarcaLearning Sat Dec 17, 2016 5:34 pm

Just watched the Dortmund Hoffenheim game, interesting, both GKs effectively conceded those two goals, they didnt have to rush out so early, made it easy for the strikers. That piece of sh*t of Hoffenheim player that got Reus sent off, he celebrated and tried to get the crowd to cheer too afterwards, what a piece of sh*t! So clearly it was a wrong decision for the foul let alone the card and hence suspension? Will Reus still get suspended for the red card?

Karma in the end, Dortmund somehow drew that game, and that penalty not awarded to Hoffenheim towards the end of the match was a great call by the ref, the GK just avoided contact with the striker.

by iftikhar Sun Dec 18, 2016 5:35 am

One win in four for Dortmund. They have not only been off the pace but pretty erratic of late. I know they lost their first-choice GK, but is there other issues that bugging them???

CM position - Gundhogan loss has killed their flow!

Add to that that Guerreiro was playing as a kind of Gündogan replacement and has been absent too.

Also they're weak at CB.

I think the question should be, how does BVB manage to stay at the top of the league and qualify from the UCL when they sell half of their starters every season? How do they manage to compete with a team like Bayern or Real (in the UCL) starting a bunch of teenagers?

I think they are playing fine, maybe conceding a few too many goals, but they are a young team in constant transition. This season they lost their main centre back and two important midfielders to transfers.

They just got Reus back as well, so that will help. I dont know if I am imagining it, but Reus looks bigger, like he is more muscular, since the last injury.

Darmstadt v Bayern coming up, I would like to say that Darmstadt has a chance of getting a point in this game, but Bayern could play 11 Julian Greens and win this one.

Rafinha started for Lahm

by Lucifer Sun Dec 18, 2016 2:39 pm

Bayern moving the ball extremely well. It's absolutely pleasure to watch xabi and thiago in midfield.

by Lucifer Sun Dec 18, 2016 2:50 pm

As we speak Bayern starting to spam crosses.

by Hapless_Hans Sun Dec 18, 2016 2:59 pm

I don't think I like you watching our games lucy. I think we're better with you not watching.

by elfmeter Sun Dec 18, 2016 3:10 pm

I am afraid to post that 'stadt is holding their own so far, cus the minute I post it, the shoe slappers will score.

by Lucifer Sun Dec 18, 2016 3:19 pm

You did post it though

by elfmeter Sun Dec 18, 2016 3:25 pm

The Lederhosen referee tried his best to get bayern a goal before half time. Alonso, Ice Hockey checks a 'stadt player off the ball, with no call, only for said player to get up and win the ball back cleanly, resulting in the Hoeness cellmate ref to award a free kick to the pig farmers just outside the box. Thankfully Lewandoski floated the kick above goal
