Bundesliga Thread 2018-2019

[MrFlyingV]

Gladbach have been playing blah as of late. Still a pretty good team. I'm sure they'll make at least Europa League.

If Gladbach blows Top 4 that would be a real disappointment as high as they have been all year. Gladbach and Leipzig should be worried about Leverkusen. Until that Dortmund game Leverkusen looked like one of the best teams in the Bundesliga right now. They dominated possession in the Dortmund game but broken down defensively. Sweet goal by Sancho right out the air for goal 2.

Liverpool target Werner 'agrees terms' over transfer

Liverpool target Werner 'agrees terms' over transfer

Sweet if true....but wondering where he fits with Lewandowski still there and Arp coming in too. 3 strikers? When does he come? They need to go younger for sure.

Or is it a sign Lewa is going?

That is possible. Lewandowski is 30 and will be 31 in August. Backside of his career now I would say. Werner is 23 (March 6th) and Arp 19...so it makes sense to land a young striker. Not many out there, unless you are Polish. Lewey is moaning again he wants Muller to start. Tired of Coman and Gnabry playing with tunnel vision lol?

Looks like from the article they are going to make a big splash, with their sights on Hernandez, Havertz, and Odoi too. Future midfield Havertz and Goretzka and for awhile longer Thiago and maybe Kimmich at some point.

In two years is the lineup?

Pavard, Kimmich, Hernandez, Sule, Alaba back options
Kimmich, Goretzka, Havertz Thiago midfield options
Odoi, Arp, Werner, Gnabry, Davies front options

Need a goalie soon too. I left Coman out...cant stay healthy.

That projected lineup hypothetical is awesome. If that roster doesn’t win in Europe, don’t know what will. I can see Neuer being with the team for a while longer. Look at Buffon still chugging along on PSG at his age.

A lot of potential. Banking on youth developing into something special. That didn't work out so well for Renato Sanches. If Havertz becomes Kroos, Kimmich becomes Lahm, and Werner is Lewandowski then we might have something.

Well is spelled with two L's.

I actually feel bad for BVB’s decline of late. They can’t find three points if it hit them in the face.

BVB is the Liverpool of the Bundesliga. Both had nice leads barfed them up. Reus was back and still..... Bayern has a big one today versus Gladbach. They might lose this one. Gladbach needs a win badly. Already beat Bayern once. No Coman for Bayern either.

I was reading yesterday that Jeong (sp?), might start on left wing today.

Yes possibly. Look who is missing the game today. Half the team:

Corentin Tolisso (knee), David Alaba (tendinitis), Leon Goretzka (ankle), Franck Ribery (stomach infection), Arjen Robben (thigh), and Kingsley Coman (hamstring) are all scheduled to miss the game.

 

[MrFlyingV]

I was reading today that Timo Werner coming to Bayern probably won't happen. Rangnick says he won't be allowed to leave on a free transfer, so if he doesn't sign an extension this summer they will sell and preferably out of the Bundesliga ... not to Bayern.

Pretty nice goal by Stindl.

That was the only nice thing for Gladbach today. Vintage Bayern Munich. Could have been worse if not for some incredible saves by the Gladbach goalie. Bayern now back in control of their destiny for the first time in a long time. Even Davies and Jeong got in on the fun. Jeong looked really good in his few minutes.

Jeong had that Robben-like crossover and left footed attempt that looked great.

Need that performance to carryover against Liverpool. Need Lewa to have the match of his life. Müller and even James looked alive today. Javi continues to be solid. Gnabry continues to show his quality.

I agree but no Muller or Kimmich then. Lewey is right about Muller...he makes a lot nice feeds to him. More of a counter attack initially today and then once they had the lead they really locked down possession and slowed the whole thing down to eat the clock. Lewey if he has a little more quality could have had 4 goals. Only negative was Boetang losing Stindl on the goal and then the handball which should have been a goal if that penalty shot had hooked in a little more. Overall a very a good game.

Man Gladbach...what the hell are they doing....that was a shitshow defensive effort. They are in trouble.

 

[MrFlyingV]

Speaking of teams in trouble, Schalke not good this year in Bundeliga...although in UCL decent. Odd. It is a big club, develop a lot of young talent, and then sell it or give it away. Tough to be a Schalke fan with all the players they let go over the recent years. 4-0 drubbing by Dusseldorf embarassing. Looks like Dusseldorf staying up for another year.

It’s undoubtedly fun for me when Bayern scores 6 goals in the Bundesliga.
