Gittens WOW
Kid's good and getting better, sublime technique. Not helping your buddy Bensebaini too much in defense though, but few talented 20 yo defend properly.

Bad start for Bayern, 1-0 down and Kane off injured. Kane to Muller is a huge downgrade, don't understand why Kompany didn't put Tel (who's been baaad on the flank) at CF and Olise on the flank. I've seen Muller in Champions League, he runs like a horse on broken hooves.

Sahin parked the bus in the second half and now Borussia are living dangerously. No idea why Kompany is still keeping Olise on the bench, he's much better equipped with dealing with a low block than Coman or Sane

Musiala left all alone on that goal lol
Ref messed up there, Sule was supposed to mark him but he was down with a head injury from blocking Sane's shot with his face. Thought that was an automatic stoppage in play.

Anyway Kompany finally puts Olise in and he promptly assists on the goal.

I don't think a lot of refs are going to immediately stop it in that situation short of a boot in the face or blood gushing or...even if that's technically the rule. Too easy a thing to "game."

Should probably be happy with a draw. After Süle had to be subbed in early on, there were precisely three players on the bench Sahin trusts enough to sub in, only one of them being a defender.

I’m feeling Sahin is getting better after a rough start
But I’m. not a BVB expert , what’s your opinion?

Leipzig and Freiburg wins were quite promising, although the tin cans have been garbage ever since so maybe it wasn't as good as it seemed then.

They've been good at home all season. Now they need to figure out how to beat even a single team on the road.

Then and there
It’s nice to have Florian Wirtz on your side

The best players show up at crucial momenta, like today Wirtz for thar Schick assist and Musiala with his goal. Wonderful that Germany has two such players at the same time.

How bad is Kane's injury? If he is out for a prolonged time, Bayern might suffer a bit. Tel was rather poor today.

2 goals for Amoura today vs RB Leipzig

What a special player

Is Rose on the hot seat now? They're almost at bottom in the CL and sliding down the table in the BL.

Freiburg also is a hard one to gauge from because they always meltdown against the top 4/5.

Another Sancho in the making, who somebody in the PL pays huge money for disapponting end product. It would probably be smart to wait for a while to see if it is his permanent level like with Musiala & Wirtz.
Most of his flaws come from decision making, something which should get better with age and experience. He needs to be smarter on when to go 1 on 1 with the fullback and when to make the safe play, especially against tougher opponents. It's like he has tunnel vision when he's decided to go for the challenge and he sometimes fails to see even the obvious passes.

I think there's too much talent to not work out, as long as he makes the right career moves. He's much wiser player than he was last year, and I don't see why he wouldn't keep progressing at this level.

Another Burkardt brace puts Mainz in 7th as Hoffenheim continue to slide down the table while Joni continues to climb up the goalscoring chart; now in 3rd after 12 games with 9 goals, 2 behind Marmoush (yet to play today) and 5 behind Kane.

He needs to start for the NT any time Undav doesn't.

Frankfurt about to win again today, 3-0 lead with couple of mins left. Marmoush with two well taken goals.

Heidenheim's Wanner was subbed off at half time.

Frankfurt hasn't had this good a start to a season since the 1990s when current manager's father Klaus Toppmoller was their manager. Their staying with a striking distance of Bayern Munich.

…guess marmoush really didn’t want to let Burkardt catch Kane first :-/
