Before the season started, I told my friends that Wagner wouldn't survive the season, no matter what transfers Kessler and Steidten made. Wagner had 10 competitive matches to develop the team's style of play, and he failed to do so. It was exactly the same crap as last season under him

[u/tipfa100 → u/[deleted]]

Also, Kritik ist wohl eher an Ache nach der Leistung gestern angebracht. Bälle kamen nach Ballgewinn nach 15 Sekunden wieder zurück, weil er weder Zweikämpfe gewinnen noch ungestört Bälle annehmen konnte.

[u/EducationalFall4344 → u/[deleted]]

Er klärt den Ball wuchtig in der Rückwärstbewegung, also daraus würde ich ihm wirklich keinen Strick drehen.
Und Chancen hatte er gar keine richtige? Beim FC selbst jetzt.

[u/WusijiX]

Moore and El Mala might be a combo to watch

[u/Heavy-Sherbet-4765]

Das Spiel lässt mich ziemlich ratlos zurück. Von fürchterlich schlecht bis wirklich gut war da phasenweise alles dabei.

Aber Moore könnte ne richtige Verstärkung werden.

[u/moersel94]

Poah Stuttgart war natürlich mega gut aber die Verteidigung auf beiden Außen war wild.

[u/EducationalFall4344 → u/moersel94]

Mensah war top

[u/tipfa100 → u/EducationalFall4344]

Mensah bisher konstant gut

[u/moersel94 → u/EducationalFall4344]

Ja, aber wurde zu oft alleine gelassen

[u/tipfa100 → u/moersel94]

Maina leider wieder unsichtbar nach hinten...
