Are Bayern trying to keep things interesting for another year?![]()
i, for one, saw no sinlge match last season in which i thought "man that Sommer really is a class above Ullreich" - so he will do for the first half of the season. If we drop out of the CL group stage, it wont be Ulrreichs fault alone. Only problem is that his backup is an U19 player so he better doesn't go skiing.

Man those pros are spoilt I do my own nail removal with a pair of clippersI think the same. The team trusts Ulle, too, what is important.
And Tuchel just told in his press conference that Neuer after the latest impressions is not far away from returning into team training. That after the last surgery they had to remove the nails it is not going a lot faster.
Getting nightmares of Ulreich versus Madrid in 17/18. Jokes aside, he's mostly been a very capable number 2 so it's good to see them keeping faith in him.
The 'Kimmich isn't a number 6' debate is interesting. While Kimmich definitely isn't a pure number 6 in the way Casemiro, Rice and Busquests are, he's certainly capable of playing that role alongside a box to box type midfielder. Essentially, that was the combination Bayern were going for with Kimmich-Goretzka, and worked well the first couple of seasons but Goretzka's form has dipped with his injuries.
If Bayern want to go with a formation where they need a pure DM, then Kimmich there would be a waste because he has great qualities going forward. I don't see how they can't fit him in a double pivot with Goretzka/Laimer, similar to Schweinsteiger/Khedira for Germany.
Maybe the issue is also with who plays as the third central midfielder. Having someone like Musiala or Muller, who won't help with running back to defend. That is why we saw the trend of playing with two number 8s with a number 6 rather than a number 10, which is what Bayern essentially have. Ultimately, I don't think the biggest issue Bayern faced last season was a lack of a pure number 6, even against Leipzig the biggest issue was there lack of finishing.
I could see Bierhoff having been sacked just for signing up for this.
Why the hell is Heidenheim listed on the Kicker website as being in BL1?
Hertha and HSV both seeing the CL return to their stadiums in the same season? What were the odds?

Indeed a strange choice. Why coming to Hamburg, I am not aware of any deeper connection between the clubs and geographically it doesn't make that much sense either?
Ukraine has also a very robust backing in Hamburg. The Klitschkos living in the city for years is also part of the connection.I assume Germany has taken in the most Ukranian refugees together with/after Poland. So it makes sense to pick one of the two countries. Berlin and Leipzig play in the CL themselves, so they aren't viable candidates, which probably left Hamburg as the top tier stadium closest to Poland. I don't know how the situation is on the Polish side, but I'd wager they didn't have that many comparable stadiums available either, so it's not such a strange choice if you look at it from this angle.
Why? It is still boring farming way beneath the level of the PL?Kane starts. I’m actually interested to watch the farmer’s league now that he’s there.
Of course. Let’s not pretend otherwise.Why? It is still boring farming way beneath the level of the PL?
The space in behind in the Bundesliga is just mad.
The space is exactly the reason Sancho was so brilliant in that league. Insane how open it is
Absolutely! That’s why it’s hard to judge players when signing from this league.Half of fecking Weghorst's Bundesliga goals seemed to be him running in behind defence free as a bird 1v1 with the keeper, with his zimmer frame pace.
The whole league seems to defend like Villa did against Newcastle.
Most corruptible, too.Most in shape looking ref I’ve seen in years
