I lived in Bremen for a year while my wife was doing part of her Masters. Fell in love with the city and the team and have kept following them back in Canada. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking pretty good in the pre-season so far. Now there's hoping Kohfeldt won't seriously consider converting Mbom into a right back. Team ----------------------------------Pavlenka------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------Moisander--------------------------------------- -------------------------Bittencourt---Klaasen-------------------------------- Chong-Osako-Selke-Seargent-Eggestein-Fullkrug-Rashica We're just copying Chelsea at this point 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted August 27, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted August 27, 2020 Good news: Rashica is likely to stay as the talks with RB break down. Bad news: in order to generate money, selling Klaassen might be the alternative if Rashica stays. We still badly need a proper defensive midfielder.

Rebel Yelle 22 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Ugh, talk about robbing Peter to pay Paul. It would be great to keep Rashica but losing Klaasen would create such a hole, especially with Eggestein's fall of a cliff from last year.

It's such a mess, I hoped that for once we would have the squad all sorted early in the pre-season, but it seems this will again take a loooong time to finalise. At this point, I just hope both Rashica and Klaassen stay, even if it means going into the new season with Erras as the only DM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchalkeUK 402 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 To get 4 in the first half and then play like 04 means you still have 4 at full time. Hope the next one is a bit better and they get Heimweh nach San Pauli! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How have we been lining up @nudge Two formations, a 4-3-3 with defensive midfielder falling back and the fullbacks going forward, and your beloved 4-4-2 diamond Pretty sure we will use both throughout the season, depending on the opposition.

I honestly think it was more important this season for us to play some simple games and gel as a team and get confidence rather than play a mini cup vs Bayern Dortmund and frankfurt or some shit. Get the team all moving in the right direction and get Selke fit and on the score sheet. 19 minutes ago, nudge said: Nah, not really.

This time we won't lose 6 center backs to injury at the same time hopefully 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted September 10, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted September 10, 2020 News from the press conference: Captain/vice-captain stays the same (Moisander/Klaassen) Rashica and Mbom are not in the matchday squad against Jena The players and the club have reached an agreement over further salary reduction.

That said, I think if Moisander has a good standing and a lot of support in the squad, then it's perfectly fine for him to keep his captain armband even if his playing time will be reduced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
