Re: The Bundesliga Thread 19/20

[elfmeter]

Bayern getting knocked out of the top four under Mourinho would be an enjoyable thing to see.

BVB tend to win these supercups usually, dont they?

[elfmeter]

For those that dont know, Elfmeter is not some kind of measuring devices for Elves, but is the German term for penalty kick (eleven metres), so with that in mind, to preview the new season(ok, still a week away), let me give you the best PK takers from the 1972/73 season.

OH and before I do that, as of this moment, Niko Kovac is still manager of Bayern

I may as well post all time best and I really did know this already, but Manny Kaltz is the best all time PK taker in the Bundesliga. I dont know why I know this, but I really did even before looking it up.

Guys, would appreciate some review from the Bundesliga Legionaries at GL. Some basic/essential facts/comments would do:

#1. Transfer review/how the major clubs fared.
#2. Young players to keep an eye on.
#3. Potential surprise packages.
#4. Potential disasters.
#5. Top-Six predictions (optional)

Just a matter of time that Müller will score

[urbaNRoots]

Gnabry is a pretty great player, not sure why you are hating @Hans?

Coman on the other hand is rubbish.

I'Ve stopped hating on Gnabry at some point during last season

He performs.

[Hapless_Hans]

Dodi Lukebakio 1-1

easily best named player in Bundesliga

[urbaNRoots]

Like a combination of Lukaku and Bakayoko

[urbaNRoots]

Unfortunate that Pavard got injured there for the goal but it's 1-2

[Hapless_Hans]

Pavard and Grujic collide with their faces, Pavard stops playing, Grujic runs on to go around Neuer and score and only then collapses

one is a wimp, the other a man

[Lucifer]

Almost tempted to stop watching Barca and watch instead Bayern getting embarrassed.

[Doc]

Hans suffering is all that matters imo. Hope Hertha put a beating on them.

[Firenze]

calma

coutinho is coming

just a temporary blip

only heard of 2 players in this hertha team ffs, and even then because they're both known jobbers

have full faith in niko to turn this around in the second half

[elfmeter]

Bayern's futbol erotica is not working out. so far. Bayern 1 - 2 Hertha HT

This looked like an easy win for Bayern and sort of out of nowhere, Hertha scored a couple of goals.Ibisevic playing a part in both goals. The shot of Lukebakio hit the back of Ibisevic and deflected past Neuer and then a nice pass for Grujic for the second. Apparently this Lukebakio fella is a Bayern killer.

Bayern players trying too hard to win PKs, I like the ref is not buying it. Alphonso Davies and Sarpeet Singh-the new Robbery connection-are waiting in the wings.

[Lucifer]

Not big fan of watching football on Facebook so might as well enjoy Bayern comeback.

[Hapless_Hans]

Thiago tackling players is among the most beautiful things in football

[Hapless_Hans]

Went into the season in such good spirits, the resolution to be positive, enjoy my team playing, 90 minutes later I WILL NEED KOVAC TO BE FUCKING SACKED YESTERDAY

[Hapless_Hans]

There's absolute no way we shouldn't be winning this

Hertha were a sad joke before we let them score a couple

this is unacceptable

here we go again

[Thimmy]

[Doc]

You won Bundesliga last year after a proper shit start, calma Hans, might as well start drinking the beer out of the trophy all now.

That Liverpool DNA

[McLewis]

Grujic from hero to zero with that stupid attack on Lewandowski, resulting in the VAR penalty. Game was good up to that point, now it's a matter of time before Bayern get that winner.

I am thinking long and hard about the fabric, matter and essence of time now that I've read this post of yours

It's a bit scary

I might have been wrong my whole life thinking some basic form of linearity was in place in our living circumstances on planet earth
