Bundesliga 2007 / 2008, 2. Spieltag

That's not the problem. We were doing pretty damn well in the first half with playing attacking football. In the second half, the match has slowed down considerably, due to Bayern playing defensively and waiting for counters, a smart strategy in this situation. And then we gifted you a goal after a corner for us, so very fucking typical.

3-0 ASAMOAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BVB


Imo best player on the pitch. Pander hand an assist and a goal so he's MOTM.

Rakitic oozes class.

Hertha Berlin have turned it around against Stuttgart, 2-1

Schalke are 3-1 up

Hansa Rostock are 1-2 down

Ribery clearly MOTM, followed by Lahm.

Von Bommahl! What a chance, so close.

Merk giving every fucking small 'foul' to Bayern, but of course, not the other way around.

Altintop scores. 3-0

Ribery is on fire.

Haha....have to laugh really. Another goal after a corner for us, another counter.

Bremen vs. Bayern 0:3


Brilliantly done by Ribery, hats off.

That was wonderful skill from Ribery. Shambolic defending from Bremen though.

Wow.

Current scores:

Hertha Berlin 3-1 Stuttgart
Arminia Bielefeld 1-0 Eintracht Frankfurt
Duisburg 0-3 Wolfsburg
Hansa Rostock 1-2 Nurnberg
Schalke 4-1 Dortmund
Werder 0-3 Bayern

Lucio should have scored, Wiese once again showing his class. The only consistent performer of 2007 for us. No exaggerating.

It all started with Merk giving the penalty, didnt it?

LOL


Brilliant strike by Ottl. Absolutely brilliant, goal of the season so far.

WHat a goal!!!

0-4

a thorough spanking.

Wonderful strike from Ottl. Bayern have been immense today, particularly in this second half.

It started well for us, we did look good in the first half, but the second half was a masterclass by Bayern. Hats off, brilliantly played, especially by Ribery, who is worth every penny Bayern have paid for him.

But I have to say that we basically stopped playing football after the 0:2. This is the most worrying aspect of today, this team has no character, no fighting spirit, no morale.

What are the odds that Otto will start a gloating thread?

Werder Bremen vs. Bayern München 0:4 FT

Well deserved win Lederhosen, congrats. Can't see anyone challenging you this season now, maybe, only maybe, Schalke.

We will have our hands full qualifying for Europe even, forget about the championship. Awful start of the season, probably could not have been worse.

Who cares. He was gloating about Klose sinking us today, while he was basically non-existant when he was playing.

Oh dear, very disillusioning.

Chin up, blutty.
At least you're going to learn form the mistakes (finishing and defending counters). Plus, the german players look in form to play against the mighty three lions.

As predicted Dortmund finshed the match with 10 men. Kruska sent off (2YCs). Schalke much better than Dortmund, who were very poor. Doll only made things worse.

Without having seen Bayern this season, I don't think Schalke have a chance to mount a serious challenge. They're a bit like Spurs, they've too many just not good enough players.

Anyway don't foget to watch the highlights!

Bad luck blut and chrissi. That can't have been easy viewing. Bayern look so strong at the moment, it is going to be tough stopping them this season. At the moment it looks like Schalke are the only team who could do so, with Stuttgart and Bremen already five points off the pace and suffering from injuries.

I expected us losing today, that's not it. And I was actually positively surprised about the first half. But the second half clearly showed that absolutely nothing is right in this team. I can accept losing, as long everyone tries to do their best preventing it. But after the 0:2, we just stopped playing football.

Forget the schoolboy mistakes, forget the awful defending, but that's just unacceptable, absolutely disgusting. How the hell do the players want to justify that to the fans, getting humiliated in their own stadium like that?

The worst 'fans' are those who still try to gloss it over in the Werder forum now. f@ck it, I know why I don't write there.

Seeing the Schalke highlights. Pander's assist and goal were class. And Rakitic just ozzes class too. Great talents in different ways.

I've just seen the Schalke highlights. Dortmund were awful at the back. Completely free headers for three of the goals, although the deliveries were good. Pander's freekick was excellent. Dortmund's goal was also a good header.

Hitzlsperger's goal was good today. A fine strike from distance. It looked to me like Hertha Berlin got a little fortunate with their equalising penalty. Although the picture quality wasn't very good, it looked like a clear dive which conned the referee. The other two Hertha goals were well taken though.
