Eco Posted August 15, 2021 Author Posted August 15, 2021 Couldn't imagine a worse start for us, and the scoreline would have been all that surprising if we had played Bayern, RB, or Dortmund....but f'in Hoffenheim. Now it's time to see if we can turn it around against a better team in Frankfurt. I'm not feeling too good about it but we shall see what happens. A couple of interesting games coming up, especially Freiburg and Dortmund squaring off.

A couple of interesting games coming up, especially Freiburg and Dortmund squaring off. I read a couple articles that predicted Hoffenheim would make Europa League this year. I do think they underachieved last year with that squad but EL might be a stretch. Augsburg just need some time to gel. I don't really believe they'll go down (though I enjoyed messing with you!). I think they're likely mid-table with the quality that they've added. Just remember, Hoffenheim thumped Bayern 4-1 last year and then finished in the bottom half of the table.
Subscriber Coma+ Posted August 17, 2021 Subscriber Posted August 17, 2021 Bochum v. Mainz and Fürth v. Bielefeld should be good matches. I like to see how the promoted teams get on when they're not up against elite talent. I would say Fürth are in for a long season given how badly they were against Stuttgart. They were awful against crosses into the box from the right flank.

I didn't expect us to beat Hoffenheim, but this start to the season is very difficult so I just hope we have some patience and show some improvements from week to week.
Eco Posted August 20, 2021 Author Posted August 20, 2021 What an absolute strike that is... RB are up 1-0
Administrator Stan Posted August 20, 2021 Administrator Posted August 20, 2021 Stuttgart stunned. 3-0 to RB Leipzig.
Michael Posted August 20, 2021 Posted August 20, 2021 RB Leipzig 4-0 up now, needless to say they have dominated this match. Szoboszlai has been particularly impressive with his performance today and it was nice to see him start.
Administrator Stan Posted August 20, 2021 Administrator Posted August 20, 2021 That Forsberg goal was lovely.
Eco Posted August 21, 2021 Author Posted August 21, 2021 Feeling like I'm on death's doorstep - So really hoping we don't get embarrassed.
Eco Posted August 21, 2021 Author Posted August 21, 2021 Niederlechner and Huntlegger collide heads, Huntlegger is up, Niederlechner is still down and bleeding.
Eco Posted August 21, 2021 Author Posted August 21, 2021 Jensen coming on for Niederlechner as he isn't right. Get well man..
Administrator Stan Posted August 21, 2021 Administrator Posted August 21, 2021 Bochum 2-0 up over Mainz!
Eco Posted August 21, 2021 Author Posted August 21, 2021 0-0 at halftime. Frankfurt definitely the better team, and we have still not been able to get a shot on goal this year.
Eco Posted August 21, 2021 Author Posted August 21, 2021 Moravek is done. Pulled or torn groin clearly. We are already having some serious injury concerns. Gruezo is on.
Eco Posted August 21, 2021 Author Posted August 21, 2021 Gummy continues to be useless. I really don't understand how this guy starts.
Administrator Stan Posted August 21, 2021 Administrator Posted August 21, 2021 What a goal by Holtmann for Bochum's opener.
Eco Posted August 21, 2021 Author Posted August 21, 2021 That's big. 0-0 at Frankfurt. The backline were brilliant today, and only after the 3 changes were made did we look like we had any chance going forward. Wasn't pretty, but it was effective, especially at this park which is where we've been crushed so often recently.
Moderator Tommy Posted August 21, 2021 Moderator Posted August 21, 2021 Freiburg. Bochum. Crazy. Last week Mainz wins against RB and now they lose against Bochum. Gonna watch Leverkusen vs. Gladbach now! Should be a good one. Hard to predict.
