Hat trick for Kane. And then immediatley almost another but offside. Probably should have had 4 or 5 already.

The new Kai

Hey! Don't be a jerk...Flo doesn't have Kai's physical tools, but Kai was never this gifted with the ball. Wirtz & Musiala are the most talented 21yo germans I have watched in real time. Even Götze & Özil weren't this magical.

Guess we won't be seeing any tire pumping of "Germany's best defender" after this one? :laugh:

I missed the later match yesterday, was Chabot responsible for the goals? Might have to check out the highlights if they were his fault. He's not as good in space as he is sitting deeper, but he's excelled at both over the past 14months...even if he's not as good on the ball as Rüdi / Nico / Tah / Anton.

It was a compliment. Kai was insanely fun to watch before being Chelsea’d

Tah is soooo clumsy

That should have been a penalty for Frankfurt

I'm usually down to rip on Tah for zoning out, but I think he played that as well as he could've. I would not have been surprised if that had been a pen, but it wasn't a clearcut penalty and I thought he walked that line perfectly...any less contact and he wouldn't have prevented the goal, any more and it would've definitely been a pen.

I figured, but wanted to make a joke about how compared to Flo, even Kai wasn't special. Kid's just stupefyingly good :laugh:

No disrespect to Flo who has more talent I just think you’re underrating Kai in Leverkusen. He was able to play across the forward line and in the KDB position.he drove the play and could create for his teammates as much as for himself. He was insane.

Maybe the secret sauce was Palacios?
 
Oh f*** this. Football gods, you’re being real dicks here. Burkardt has missed enough time because of injuries. Breaking him again right after making his senior NT debut is just cruel.

Burkhardt out injured after 20 mins.

Looked like his hamstring too *sigh*

Kai has always had all of the physical tools with excellent technical skills, he really shows us what Draxler might have been if he had cared a little more about the whole playing football thing, even without going full-Rapey Ronaldo.

I was skeptical of both living up to the hype when they first broke through so I’m in a weird spot talking about this in retrospect, but even at 17yo Wirtz was the great magician while Kai was the perfect false 9 to create space for his more gifted teammate and reap the rewards.

That Doan goal was the first one Leipzig has conceded at home this season.

Meanwhile Dortmund are ahead, Malen with a cool finish.

Damn Dortmund sucks. Solid debut by Kabar.

Yeah, I switched from the Stuttgart match at half time and regretted my decision lol

I didn't really pay attention to Kabar, but the kid has a ton of potential if he keeps progressing...even if he's not yet as good as Rothe...
 
Vandervoort is a good goalie, so Leipzig shouldn't have a problem there, but how serious is Gulacsi's injury? I mean he missed a lot of time last season already...
 
Bremen equalize around 75 mins, but Leverkusen retake the lead two minutes later.

Andrich pass from the left flank is redicted into the box by Schick, and Frimpong unstabilizes a Bremen player enough for him to score an own goal.

I thought they were supposed to be good this year, but they're playing the kind of game where Eintracht have to do the bare minimum to beat them. Boring game, zero offensive flair from Union.

We're defending well again, but we lack the skill upfront to create goals through anything other than hardwork, pressing, and set pieces. Things would be different if Gladbach hadn't beaten us to Kleindienst & Stöger. But as is the best we could do would be:

Hollerbach - Vertessen
Rothe - Benes - Schäfer - Haberer
Khedira/Kemlein
Liete - Vogt - Doekhi
Rönnow​

Which isn't much more skilled than the

Jeong/Skarke - Hollerbach - Vertessen
Rothe - Kemlein - Khedira - Haberer
Liete - Vogt - Doekhi
Rönnow​

that we do play. Anyways, VAR giveth & VAR taketh away. The most marginal of offsides in the build up robs Skarke of the stoppage time winner as Frankfurt hang on for the draw.
