We got ourselves a red in the Union vs Mainz game as well.
Andrich picks up his second yellow late in the first half. And they had equalized fairly recently as well.
Despite being at 10 men, Koln are playing well. Have had some great chances, should have equalized.
Every Koln game I've watched has been fun.
Once they switched coaches they became real fun to watch.
At least his majesty Hennes IX is not on site to see the slaughter.
A slight hope! Hoffenheim now down to 10 as well...
You could well be right, I just didn't think it was quite right in forward areas, Werner is much better cutting in from wide areas and making runs in behind or in-between FB's and CB's than being trusted with the responsibility for any kind of build up playmaking in central/deeper areas- I think he's quite a one dimensional player, if you play to that one dimension he's very useful, but the rest of the time his game can be quite limited. Not that I've seen loads of him, but Olmo would have seemed the more natural fit for that role, no?
I don't even like Werner in that 442 much - even though he's been pretty successful in it, he looks much more like a wide forward in a 433 system type to me - which is I guess why Liverpool see him as a good fit for them.
I'm now 60 minutes in Olmo's gone off for Lookman. Like Wolfsburg on Leverkusen, Hertha doing a good job so far here....and as I type now RBL down to 10....
Hertha deserved a draw out of that game I guess. Torunarigha (22yo LCB) might be worth keeping an eye on, haven't seen much of him at all, but last couple of games of theirs I've watched he's been pretty competent - can't say more than that as I wasn't paying enough attention to him.
I agree Werner isn’t a playmaker. I would expect the gameplan to be for Werner to run at goal from a deeper position hoping that the defenders were focusing on Schick. It worked better with Poulsen last time.
Yes, Olmo would be a better option as a classic playmaker. He played a similar role at Dinamo as well as CM. Only seen him play as LW and RW for Spains U21. Maybe Nagelsmann doesn’t feel Olmo has had enough games yet to be the focal point.
You’re right, Werner at Liverpool would be as a wide player.
Have you watched much of Torunarigha?
Nope. He looked decent today
Are Wolfsburg like a German version of Burnley? Burnley with a boob job?
Not really. They usually play decent football, but with a clear target man in Weghorst. Edin Dzeko broke out there and De Bruyne as well.
So more like Burnley with Volkswagen backing them.
Might be a little harsh on Wolfsburg. They do have more creativity in their squad, and their Chris Wood/Ashley Barnes is Wout Weghorst who is a better all round striker.
Maybe....dare I say.....Wolves?
