Köln vs. Bremen is what we'd call "Not gegen Elend" in Germany. 

[SchalkeUK 326]

That's OK as long as the Elend does not rest in Nudgeland

Pizarro to score a winner. For Köln 

Seriously though, it's a must win for us. 

[Smiley Culture 1,334]

I hate to use footballing clichès but Köln v Werder Bremen is as close as you can get to a must win for Köln. A defeat opens up a six-point gap between them and Bremen and even at this stage of the season, it seems a large amount to be clawing back. 

With a lack of attacking threat in Yuya Osaka, Sehrou Guirassy and Jhon Cordoba, it's up to the aging Claudio Pizarro to score, unless Bremen's defenders fancy scoring some own goals. 

There were some mutterings of discontent in Borisov from Köln fans so a defeat here will surely see some form of change take place, whether that's Peter Stöger or Jörg Schmadtke.

Auba is shockingly bad.

Bayern have lost their zip, they look so flat at the moment against Hamburg. 

Still, they have the lead 1:0

Bayern never looked totally convincing in 100% of the match they won. That's kind of part of the "Bayerndusel" that they are constantly winning matches their rivals could only hope to draw.

Pizarro was supposed to start against us, but apparently he can't due to an injury.

*sigh of relief* 

[Tommy 4,900]

0-0, just as I predicted. 

[nudge 8,313]

With the amount of chances created by both teams in the last 15 minutes, any other match would have ended 3-3 at least. Oh well. So frustrating. I prefer Werder that scores and concedes a shitload over this shit.

Yeah it was terrible.  That miss by Guilassy would have been an impossible, super, great defensive clearance , had he been defending.

Lucky for us it was him instead of Pizarro...

From the Europa League to Erzgebirge Aue for Köln...
