Mkhitaryan scored? Surely that's a mistake in the liveticker I'm reading?
Bundesliga, DFB Cup, and other Bundesliga business 2014/2015
- Thread starter ManniKaltz
- Start date
Decent near post header from Mkhitaryan. Aubameyang scored the 2nd. Paderborn haven't done much so far. 18 shots to 1 as it stands. Wave after wave of yellow attack.
Seems like Schmidt has taken a page out of Guardiola's book. Right now we have five fullbacks on the pitch.
That would be a lovely score on Tuesday.
So if Wolfsburg are losing tomorrow then Bayern Munich will be champions next Saturday
Wolfsburg won't win both games (vs Schalke tomorrow, in Gladbach next Sunday), so yeah, most likely we'll be champions next weekend
Tuchel confirmed as Borussia Dortmund coach:
Geis is probably going to Dortmund then.
No real surprise after Tuchel rejected the offer from HSV but good news for Dortmund nonetheless. Will be interesting to see where he'll take the club.
Probably the best solution available.
Yeah definitely a deal that makes sense for Dortmund and Tuchel imo.
Even though he isn't Klopp MK II I have a feeling that he will be the ideal candidate for a rebuild and new start for Dortmund. He is tactically more versatile than Klopp and likes to rotate a lot which were imo two aspects that Dortmund were lacking under Klopp but were sorely needed at some point.

Yeah I think so as well, especially if Gündogan isn't signing a new deal which doesn't look likely at this stage.
Very good for Dortmund that they've found so fast a new coach and Tuchel is probably the best choice (although he's a bit overrated in my opinion).
Mainz tweeted...
Mainz is the school of coaches for Dortmund... With pictures of there actual coach and the U23 coach in BVB coaching kit...
The one thing I'm interested in though is how much the Dortmund fans will warm to him given that I can't see him professing his undying love for Dortmund like Klopp did so often. I wonder how they'll react to a much more reserved manager that isn't all into the "true love" mantra of their club.
Well, I can see some fans having a difficult time with the transtition of the coaches, especially the ones who only know the era Klopp. The vast majority of the season ticket holder have been around longer, though, and seen a vast array of different coaches. Ottmar Hitzfeld is still seen as the coaching legend he is, even with his way more reserved character and career at Bayern Munich. Even Matthias Sammer, who was and still can be a fairly difficult character was held in high esteem until his move to Bayern and some statements he made towards Dortmund.
In the end, what will count is nothing more than the success of the club. The most fans I talk to see the need of a different approach and a clear cut in the team. And for that the pragmatic and perfectionist Tuchel is seen as by far the best option, because he is so different to the charasmatic Klopp. With him they will be no symphathy for past accomplishment of the players. Tuchel selects only out of two reasons: tactics and performance. Every player will have to prove his worth again, which is probably something the club desperately needs.
Tuchel will get his chance to build his own team at Dortmund and step out of the large shadow Klopp has casted. Both from the officials and the fans. The reactions to his appointment are already very positive.
His reputation got better and better with every job offer he declined
. It was fascinating to follow. I'm not sure if he's overrated, I rate him highly. But he's basically still a talent and has to prove it all now on a significantly higher level. He has zero experience in Europe for example and for someone who's seen as an excellent tactician his record in cup competitions is quite awful.DFB Cup:
2009/10 Mainz was already out when he took over
2010/11: 2nd round exit against a 2nd Bundesliga team
2011/12: 3rd round exit against a 4th division team
2012/13: his best cup season, but nothing special in the end, quarterfinal loss at home against Freiburg
2013/14: 2nd round exit against a 2nd Bundesliga team
His only season in Europe:
El 2011/12: went out in the qualifying round in a penalty shootout after two 1-1 draws against Gaz Metan Medias
That's really a bit shit, every time he went out against a team with less financial resources and a weaker team on paper. Maybe I should rethink my opinion actually.
That's really a thing that is needed in your team atm. At some point I think everyone just knew that if certain players were fit they would start no matter how bad they had played as of late. I also felt it somewhat hindered the progress of some of the younger players at the club that they basically had no chance of getting into the team unless there was an injury crisis affecting the team.
I guess the rumors about Geis coming to Dortmund will have flared up again now with Tuchel being announced the new Dortmund manager and Gündogan still haven't signed a new contract?
His reputation got better and better with every job offer he declined
I think that mainly comes from the fact that he tries to adept to the opposition and changes things like formation every now and then. I'm neither quite sure if his tactical changes make all that much sense tbh but as you so rightfully mentioned he is still a fairly young manager and still needs to learn especially how to manage a club that plays in 3 competitions and possibly the CL. He can be glad that he probably doesn't have to play in Europe in his first season.
Still I think he is one of the most talented German managers out there and if Dortmund has the patience for the necessary rebuild Tuchel could have great future in Dortmund and Dortmund with him.
Red card for Behrami, pen scored by di Santo, 1-0 Bremen

I still remember that fixture. They were extremely dominant, especially in the return fixture but bottled the best chances. A crushing loss, but two days later they defeated Leverkusen in an impressive fashion.
Tuchel is unproven to a point and his cup record could be used as an argument against him. On the other side stands his impressive overall record with Mainz (5th best team under him despite having an below average budget). He made them overperform for a long time. Now he has to prove how far he can take a team with one of the highest budgets. His appointment is a risk, but so would have been every other available option.
What I´m the most excited about is his reputation of using youth talent fairly quickly and putting faith in them. We had a dry spell in the last two years with Jeremy Dudziak being the only real exception, but our U17 team under Hannes Wolf (one of the best youth coaches of the nation) is really strong and includes some of the best national talents (Germany´s U17 captain Felix Passlack, Dzenis Burnic, David Sauerland) and two highly rated International talents (Denmark´s Brun Larsen and arguably the biggest US talent Christian Pulisic). If Tuchel sticks around long enough to make actual use of these boys, Dortmund could have the next golden generation already inside the club.
Byebye Hamburg
Not even Ronaldo or Messi could save Hamburg.
Schalke are 1-0 up against Wolfsburg
Schalke are 1-0 up against Wolfsburg
Yes, Wolfsburg plays better - but Sane scored.
Hertha is a good opponent for title celebrations. Combined with a 2:0 win against Porto on Tuesday that would be hilarious.
So no big celebrations at the Allianz Arena and on the Marienplatz on Saturday evening
Wolfsburg vs Schalke finishes 1-1.
If Bayern win next week they have the title mathematically sewn up.

Nah, we would have 76 points. Wolfsburg can still manage to get 76 points in total until the end of the season (although it's highly likely that one more Bayern win will be enough even if Wolfsburg wins all their remaining fixtures given the goal difference: Bayern +63 and Wolfsburg +32).
Safe to say Wolfsburg will not win their last 4 league games 7-0.
Peter Neururer to become the new manager in Hannover. That would be wonderful. Hamburg should have given Magath the job, I kinda miss those characters in the league. They are kinda shit but provide unique entertainment.

No - Neururer was for talks in Hannover but did not get the job. Michael Frontzeck seems to be it. As he has the same haircut as Kind...
Your last sentence - that is why I would like for Effe and Loddar to have coaching jobs in the Bundesliga...
... especially as they are no media darlings...Didn't he get relegated in every Bundesliga job he had? Aachen in 2007 and Bielefeld in 2009. Gladbach fired him and Favre saved the club, but he would have gone down with Gladbach as well, if they didn't kick him out early enough. Sounds like a great decision.
Frontzeck as new coach is good for all clubs below Hannover in the table
Yeah, his record is really poor. I read today that he statitically the worst coach with more than 100 games in the Bundesliga history. I was never a fan of Korkut either, though.
Neururer would have been awesome. At least there'd be one reason to watch Hannover.
I miss the old fool.

Seems like the opened up a new case against Reus because of driving without driving license after some people have called in to the police to tell about what they have seen. As there is atleast a newspaper article of him with pictures on the wheel of his vehicle from June on Goetze's birthday and he was caught by the police in March...
This is shocking to be honest. Not only for Bayern, but for the whole Bundesliga. Our injury records are crazy in comparison to other countries. Some serious questions need to be asked, because it clearly hurts our competitiveness in Europe. I'm really starting to wonder if German clubs train too hard during the winterbreak instead of focusing more on regeneration like other leagues do inbetween games. Some of the top clubs with smaller squads, playing pretty much the same starting line-up every week in leagues with significantly more games have excellent injury records, e.g. Chelsea and Atletico.
It can't be explained through bad luck either, too many German clubs have serious problems.
@Balu
The charts are based on data of transfermarkt.de and only the german data is really relieable. And it tells about the information politics of the clubs. Elsewhere a player misses and you maybe do not know why...

Arsenal's injury record looks accurate though. And Schalke, Dortmund and Bayern certainly had signficantly more injuries than any other top team in Europe while Atletico and Chelsea had pretty much no signficant injuries at all. It might not be 100% correct, but I don't think that the tendency it shows is really wrong.

He has been linked with Bayern and City lately. What are the chances of him leaving?
