Bundesliga 2015/2016

Bayern just told at their homepage that Mario Götze will miss 10 to 12 weeks because of the injury he got yesterday. You think they all come back from injuries - and then the next injury ist there again.
 
meh. He just found form.
Yeah, it sucks :(. I feel really sorry for him.

Do you know if the game between Regensburg and our second team is televised somewhere? Started 5 minutes ago. If we lose, promotion is probably out of reach for good.

There is no TV coverage imo. We really need to win promotion. All 3rd league games are on stream/TV. I am just following a couple of tickers. Apparently we play well. Green hit the bar.

Crazy. :(

One important player from Bayern or Dortmund always gets injured during the nationalbreak :/
 
We have let in some absolutely ridicilous goals the past year or something, goals that will make you go like what the hell just happened.
 
Coman was subbed of after 23 minutes with an injury. Let's hope it's nothing serious. With Götze out for the rest of the year, it was the perfect moment for him to get a few more starts before Robben's fit enough to play 90 minutes again.
 
Effenberg is the new head coach of Paderborn... That will be interesting.

Meanwhile, Chile seem to try everything in their power to completely ruin Vidal's knee by giving him painkiller injections so he can play for them. Beautiful. Just what we love to hear.

Yeah, I read that. It's a shame. Gladbach is also fecked, if Xhaka's injury turns out to be serious.

It's such an odd decision. It's the exact opposite of what brought them success before. From Breitenreiter to Effenberg, what the feck? Don't get why Effenberg took the job either. It's an awful position to start with. There's not much money available, everything but keeping them in the league and challenging for promotion next season will be seen as a failure, but that's incredibly difficult to achieve. And he's instantly under pressure right now, no time to actually build something.

He's injured? FFS, thats another of my players injured! Bah!
Yeah, out for a few weeks. Torn ligament in the right ankle or something like that.

Yeah it seems like strange choice from Paderborn, though we don't really know how good or convincing Effenberg is as a coach - maybe he's a genuinely decent option.
And the more I think about it the more sense it makes, because quite frankly Paderborn most like will neither go up or down, their squad is too good to get relegated, but they are already too far behind to expect a promotion challenge, this season they have little to lose and Effenberg will at the very least give them a lot of profile.
Clubs finally seem to have learned that being a good player and being a good coach are two very different things, so I wouldn't be surprised if Effenberg just didn't have any better offers.

That's frustrating. He was hitting some good form too.

Ruptured his exterior ligament, apparently. German clubs gotta love the national team breaks.
 
Gladbach tweeted that "Xhaka has picked up a tear in his lateral collateral ligament and is doubtful for this weekend's game!". That doesn't sound longterm injury bad.
 
He's overrated anyway. Brainless chucker who was shining the last years because he played next to Kramer.

Who knows with them though. Their medical staff missed the ACL in Hermann's knee 5 weeks ago and let him back on the pitch after 2 weeks rest before realising what's really wrong last week.
 
At least Coman doesn't seem to be seriously injured. tz cites L'Equipe who claim he has adductor problems and might miss a week. With Götze out, him missing too would have been really unfortunate.

What is maybe interesting is that his assistant coach is 29-year-old Sören Osterland - who finished the A-certificate together with Effenberg as second best of that course three years ago. He was working as assistant coach at Bayern's U23 in 12/13, the last two years as coach of Hannover 96s U23.

I think that maybe the combination of that laptop coach together with a motivator and personality that I see in Effenberg could be very successfull.
 
Effenberg starts with a win as Paderborn's new manager. Good for him and bad for 1860, which I like :D.

Dortmund is playing in Mainz right now, Januzaj is on the bench.

1-0 at halftime for Dortmund, Reus scored the goal:
 
Can one of the Bundesliga/Dortmund watchers tell me more about this Weigl kid? Did Dortmund face heavy competition to sign him? Did they expect him to make a big contribution this early? He looks like one of the best young midfielders in Europe.

No and No. If sahin wasnt injured, he wouldnt even have started the season imo.
 
How many more questionable free kick is this ref going to give Mainz? I´m so sick of these referee performances this season...
 
Aubameyang has shown great maturity today with his unselfishness. He could have chosen the individual play on several occasions to try and make history with goals in 9 successive Bundesliga games, but passed the ball instead.

How many wrong penalties does he give to Dortmund?

Or where was the penalty for Mainz?

Yeah how in the hell a Dortmund fan could complain about the referee after this game. Holyshit. The Mainz foul was outside the box and Mainz themselves could have had two penalties.

1000%.

Really? They didn't look like penalties from my perspective and I was standing pretty close by.

Chance conversion was the biggest problem tonight, we created more than enough to get a point from this game, even three. Decent performance overall, didn't give Dortmund too many opportunities until we opened up towards the end of the game, good midfield play and chances created. Fecking stupid goals to concede though, two gifts for Dortmund.
 
Also, Karius is brilliant. Four penalties against us this season, zero goals conceded.
 
Thoughts from Mainz-Dortmund:

-Dortmund's Korean LB was awful on the ball. Lots of energy and did well defending but he looked like Rooney on an off day with his first touch.

-Hummel's arrogance and quality on the ball always fun to watch

-Weigl wasn't perfect, but did a lot very well. Hell of a 6 prospect.

-Ginter made some pretty damn good attacking decisions for a CB playing at fullback

-For Mainz, Bell played very well, especially considering how all over the place his CB partner was. Bell looked composed on the ball, almost to a fault at times, but it's nice to see a young CB with that sort of ability. Where is he expected to move to? Abroad or within Germany?

-De Blassis looked lively and technically sharp.
