German football season 2023/24

[Bringer of Jollity]

Rangnick won't coach Bayern next year. No miracle after the bs Uli said last friday (FAZ).
So no Nagelsmann coming back (nother bs idea). No Hoeneß, no Alonso, no Rangnick, no Klopp. Maybe Flick comes back. LOL

Rangnick wird nicht Bayern-Trainer

Seine Verpflichtung schien nur eine Frage der Zeit zu sein - doch nun wird Ralf Rangnick überraschend doch nicht neuer Trainer des FC Bayern.

I don't think Uli is an idiot, bt wtf was this?

No point in having a Freund and Eberl when you have the likes of Rummenigge and Uli sabotaging everything behind the scenes. Now they are looking at...what, return to Flick? De Zerbi? Ten Hag? Gong show.

Favre would do a great job

 

[Albatros]

I see no one better than Louis van Gaal.

[cgf]

I still remember how disappointed I was when he left cooler Borussia, but it's still weird to know this era is ending.

Some big matches in the relegation battle this week

Köln - Freiburg
Union - Bochum
Heidenheim - Mainz

 

[JoVel]

This might be the worst call I've seen all year, HSV had a goal disallowed for this.

 

[JoVel]

HSV stays alive for now, but Düsseldorf also gets the three points.

 

[cgf]

Big point for TSG as they temporarily move ahead of Freiburg for the 2nd EL spot.

 

[Jack Straw]

Eric Dier having a rough day.

 

[JoVel]

Crazy game in Dortmund. Reus makes it 4-1 at the 34th minute. Moukoko has scored what might be the two worst/luckiest goals of his career. Dortmund's got a proper B team on the field. A Bundesliga debutant Kjell Wätjen picked up an assist on the Reus goal.

 

[cgf]

Gnabry's flop should be overturned by the VAR.

EDIT:
wow, surprised that wasn't corrected. Bayern with the EPL-caliber penalty...

Great tackle by Pavlovic.

Nice for Wätjen. I'm not a big fan of his, but always happy to see kids doing well on their debuts.

And haven't seen the mouki goals yet, but he's put in a lot of good shifts without reward, so seeing him get some flukier goals could be good for his mindset.

 

[cgf]

Davies & Neuer both just fell asleep on that 1-2. If VFB holds on, they could still pass Bayern if Bayern drops another & they win out...as VFB would be just 2pts and 17 goals behind.

 

[cgf]

Make that 15 goals behind, as Silas seals it for VFB. Will be very interesting to see how Stuttgart does in the CL next season. Guirassy & Undav feel like they should cause problems on that level with Führich, Stiller, and Millot supporting them.

Still don't trust that defense, even though only two teams have conceded less this season...Leverkusen & Leipzig...but they should score goals if they don't shrink on that stage.

 

[Chimaera]

Wild wild wild

 

[cgf]

bahahahaha just saw the Moukoko goals. When the soccer gods grant someone a brace like that, it's a sign. I don't know of what, but it means something

 

[PanniniClaus]

Cologne are on the brink here...

 

[gary69]

Eric Dier having a rough day.

Guerreiro and Dier having to be subbed off because of injuries adds to already big defensive problems for Bayern.

Kim and Upemecano again had below par performances, and in general Stuttgart dominated Bayern. Don't think Bayern have much of a chance in the CL 2nd leg.

I'm not sure there's another club in the top5 leagues in Europe, who can change 10 players (all off their outfield players) from their previous match and trash their midtable opponents like Dortmund did.

Yes, those Moukouko goals were almost hilariously lucky, although I'm not sure if that backheel would have gone in without his touch.

Good to see Reus having a good outing in what might have been his last one as a starter at home.

 

[gary69]

Cologne are on the brink here...

Not unsprising that they failed to score again. I think they must be the most inept team scoring this season in the top5 leagues.

On top of that even their Pavlovic trump-card is no longer a guaranteed win, as they final lost a match the young fella started.

Watch them start LeGo at CB and win in Madrid


...or maybe they'll just go 3-3-3-1 with

Kane
Gnabry - Musiala - Sane
Goretzka - Pavlovic - Laimer
Mazraoui - Kim - Kimmich
Kane​

Grats to Ulm for successfully replicating my FM24 feat of promotion to BL2. Protip: That first BL2 season is a bitch, try to keep your GM's signings in check.

Funny enough I'm like 99% sure this was the first time they've scored 5 goals in the Bundesliga this season and it was with an actual B team. And not against an awful opponent either, although it was a pretty brutal game from Augsburg.

 

[cgf]

Looks like it was a fun one between Hertha and Elversberg. Wanner with another goal & assist for Elversberg, while Maza scored his first senior goal for Hertha.

 

[cgf]

Doekhi is playing like someone with a relegation clause in his contract. Need to be much better to turn this around.
