He’s alright

Joni Burkardt is just killing it since getting back on the pitch & into form. 5 goals in 6 BuLi games (6 in 7 counting the pokal) to start this season for the young Mainz forward after closing last season with 7 goals + 2 assists in his final 11 games last season.

Not an elite athlete or otherworldly technician, but the kid just knows where to be to create danger. He has a lot of the same things going for him that Undav does.

So Kai just needed to get out of a toxic relationship. Glad he’s finding his form and can express himself. He was really a joy in Germany

There's a reason why NT-Kai was a thing during his Chelsea days

After eight rounds Regensburg in 2. BuLi are somehow still right there with the rest of the teams in the relegation battle while having a goal differential of 1:19, as they've picked up a win and a tie. And they beat Bochum in the Pokal too.

Looks like BVB already just focusing on UCL for the season? Woof!

They just ran into a better team

Marmoush has become so much fun to watch. I liked the pick up for SGE, but didn't really expect him to become THIS good.

Kompany's tactics getting exposed this early in the season is good to see. Glad they haven't racked up too many points before opponents realized that this Bayern might be the most vulnerable to counters of any Bayern side in recent memory.

Their attacking play is wild, but both Kimmich & Pavlovic need a more defensive & mobile/robust partner. What's so weird is that Goretzka was finally taking to that kind of holding 6 role next to Pavlovic last season...and he is physically perfect for the role...while Kimmich was thriving at RB.

...but Kompany changed that up and now their double pivot isn't providing enough cover to a defense that looks over-stretched any time their pressing fails to win the ball back high up the pitch.

Nice shot from Olise to put Bayern ahead again after a successful press won them the ball high up the pitch.

Marmoush with another to equalize things late in stoppage time, what a finale.
