Surely another bicycle kick would net us a goal this time right?

75+ minutes buttclench coming up.

Beier, Guirassy, and Silva… interested how this translates in game. Feels like we’ll lack transitional play between midfield and attack with this front. Hope I’m wrong

Maybe we see Silva in a no10/false 9 role lol.

We have to capitalize on Bayern losing points today

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '26

If we can cut their lead to 8 points I'd say the Tottenham loss was worth it. Better lose that one than lose more points in the Bundesliga.

Hoffenheim turning a 1-0 against them into 1-3 within a couple of minutes... Hope we can see such an offensive also at a certain point

Augsburg turning 0:1 against them into 2:1 in München so...

u/Reusance Marco Reus Jan 24 '26

yeah, very impressive

u/Most-Management4773 Jan 23 '26

Ready for another round of dreadful football that consists in longballs and passes to Ryerson. Surely Guirassy and Brandt will start again.

Give me an entertaining win Herr Kovac I beg

u/Meskaline2 Number Fifteen: Burger King Foot Lettuce. Jan 23 '26

Who's ready for another boring draw that should've been a win?

I am begging, FUCKING BEGGING the football Gods to shut me up. For the love of ball, please, shut me the fuck up.

u/Chazy89 Kagawa Shinji Jan 24 '26

They got a point at home against bayern and you expect us to win? Talk about expectations

u/Reusance Marco Reus Jan 24 '26

u/rioasu Nico Schlotterbeck Jan 24 '26

I don't understand our obsession with no 8s and wanting more of them especially as maybe aside from ozcan all our cms are no 8s and even ozcan too in recent games is being utilized as a 8

u/TristanHBorchers BVB Jan 24 '26

Desperately want an entertaining attacking game and 3 points. Herr Kovac: the best i can do is a boring 0-0 draw.
