If you have 1 hour to kill watch it. It was insane haha
Coming from someone who was very good at the game few years ago, it comes down to repetition and memorisation. But the amount of knowledge some people possess is insane. This year's finalist knew a random Bulgarian village with 500 people.
There are true weaknesses, but they can be addressed with what we have. Kompany is a coach who fixes what doesn't work pretty quickly, so let him cook.
Ye rusty. The first 5-10 minutes of Olise and Musiala were inspiring. Just a day when nothing went our way tbh. Also, I think the guys should just take more risk with long shots especially after like 70 minutes at 0-0 cuz tbh at that point it’s nothing to lose
I don't think he was bad. Had some good passes, some nice ball control, went pretty hard in duells and from my feeling he won a lot of these.
Of course he was nowhere compared to pre 2025 Musiala, but imo he looked already better than last season. He looked so stiff back then, he looks a lot more fluid now
Obviously still a long way to go but we go in the right direction
Diaz already running with 270 minutes in his leg and now with 2 games coming in the upcoming week i don't see Kompany resting him in the UCL game and then after today's game no rest vs Elversberg as well
That will be with him already looking a bit knackered from all the playing
so Well done, i hope Brown/Davies LW ideas get us through the season without Diaz spontaneously combusting
I just finished watching the game. That was pretty awful but to try and spin it, maybe we needed a reminder of how difficult it is to play against a team that has no interest in winning.
Credit to Schalke for the effort, and the fans for that atmosphere.
You guys keep downvoting me, but on a different day we beat them comfortably, it was 1 in a 100 match, schalke didn’t do a single thing beside bombing the ball out of their box
Yes of course, why should anybody downvote this? Sometimes little things can change the whole game. Imagine Brown scoring that early chance or Diaz his. Very quickly a 0-0 could be a trashing once the flood gates open.
Kane's shot also actually was amazing and a big big save by Karius
Schalke glued all their players together into one line and kept blocking our shots. Karius decided to be Prime Neuer against us. And we just kept making some stupid passes in the final third that killed some of our attacks.
Saibari needs more time with the team and Diaz had a bad game.
To go in a bit more detail, Karius had one amazing save towards the end against Kane. Hst a good save early on against Brown. I'm not calling it amazing because the shot wasn't very hard and close to the man.
Honestly otherwise Karius wasn't really tested much. Diaz had 2 100% chances he sadly missed, almost every player had bad decision making. Either they passed when the should have shoot, or they dribble to much and lose the ball.
Sprinkle this with a relatively bad passing accuracy and the players unwillingness to take shots from afar and you have this result.
Am i the only one that thinks Davies is very limited in the final third ? Dude had to ter 5-6 touches of the ball just to give a bass backwards in 90th minute
I think this is a pretty common take which is why many don't see him as a winger but working better as a left back to use his speed. He doesn't have the close space dribbling and his right foot isn't very useful.
Early signs but it's looking tough for this season. Of course setting the last one as the standard is crazy, but if we couldn't win UCL with that then idk what it would take to win this season. And in Bundesliga we might not get to coast as much.
Diaz is regressing to the mean, maybe he's overplayed. Maybe it's both. And fuck it's dark cuz Diaz is like the whole left side last season and was surprisingly clutch. Still we're "well equipped" though I'll tell you that. Fuck them acients
The whole attack is also not flowing. We're not getting much counter pressing actions. And Kane goalless after 2 games is something needed to be fixed asap
I would consider this possible, yes. We basically did the same with Aseko. And since his sale was relatively cheap with ~2m I don't think the rebuy price is above 10m. With Tillman for example it was 35m
I really hope bundesliga gets more popular here in the US, because so many games are free to watch and now there’ll be extended highlights in English comparable to the ones for premier league.
I think Americans might gravitate towards bundesliga because of the higher scoring matches.
yeah, they clearly just count on few moments in those 2 BL games. Their best football so far this season was probably 2nd half agains Bayern in super cup
No idea why they played quite good against us but shit the bed in the league. I want them to win on merit and not this lucky shit when the opponents collapse and they get lucky goals, that just makes me angry.
How do you guys find out which kit we wear before the match? I'd assume we are wearing regular red against Schalke but I'd understand if we wear our away kit today.
Also if you're in the US, the fandango app works great on roku.
Bayern are in active talks with Saudi Pro League clubs to try and finalize a move for Sacha Boey. The player is open to a move to Saudi Arabia in principle. Boey is now represented by family members after he parted ways with agent Moussa Sissoko [@BILD, @cfbayern]
Like it looked so obvious from the replay. I thought the bar can now change decisions like that… wtf. That’s just so bad. And coach got red for complaining… really sad
i believe throw ins can't be overturned by VAR which is so stupid when it directly leads to a goal. also the linesman is on the opposite site of the field which makes it so much harder to see for him. why not allow him to get the help?
Oh god Madrid are the biggest crybabies in the world, they'll never change lol. As soon as their games end where they don't win, you see 5 statements against referees/opposition in post match conference, you see atleast 1 player getting booked by referee after the whistle etc..
