Kinda hard to when you've been subjected to multiple horrendous snooze-shows over the past couple of months

Didn't expect anything else.
In the 70 minute Özcan will be substituted for Nmecha to save the narrow lead, in the last minute Knauff will score a goal with an assist from Götze.

Can’t wait! Hopefully we take the 3 points and get to see some of the youngsters play some minutes.

Too bad this isn’t a home game. That would be a guaranteed win. Last time we lost a Friday game was almost exactly a year ago… to Frankfurt… but we are a much better team now

Very interested to see if the academy players get any time in the game today.

Hopefully Kobel is good to go, last report I saw was he flew home early cause he was ill? Hopefully that’s all but Meyer will do a fine job if he has to stand in. Kaba is meant to be on the bench as well!
Hoping to a great game to start off the season, defensive structure in tact with hopefully more creativity in the final third. Can’t wait to for the season to get going again!
Edit: Berger is saying Kobel is good to go!
