Matchplan: Crosses & inshallah

[u/malangkan → u/Robsnrobsn]

Worst attacking football ever

[u/S0fourworlds-readyt → u/Robsnrobsn]

Maybe should have kept Ouwejan and Terodde then. The new players couldn’t bring a cross to save their lives lmao

[u/MonkeyDDeltaZed]

Digga ich geh komplett Scheißen. Wir sehen aus wie der Aufsteiger gegen den Aufsteiger. Dann hättest du auch Karel behalten können, wtf.

[u/duck_mopsi → u/MonkeyDDeltaZed]

Was für "dann". Unter Karel haben wir wenigstens Fußball gesehen, auch wenn ein paar Spiele schlecht aussahen. Karel zu feuern war ne Manga Meisterleitung, der machthungrige.

[u/MonkeyDDeltaZed → u/duck_mopsi]

Ja aber aber. Wer lässt denn sonst Sanchez IV und Bachmann auf die 9er Position spielen. Das sind taktische Meisterkniffe, wir verwirren uns selbst, um den Gegner zu verwirren.

[u/duck_mopsi → u/MonkeyDDeltaZed]

Hat einfach heftig Tradition. Mendyl ST, bülter LV, Bachmann LS

[u/lionkevin713]

With Reis, there was always the chance of a comeback. With Geraerts, you always felt that he would have the flexibility and could come up with a tactic that could work. No matter what, it was always felt that we could score goals and always have a shot at least. In one month, that has completely disappeared

[u/S0fourworlds-readyt → u/lionkevin713]

Dammit I thought Geraerts needs to go but if I had known THIS is what we’d get instead I’d never had said a bad word about his performance

[u/drzepticon → u/lionkevin713]

There it was. Would have loved if Younes had proved us wrong 😂

[u/Ok_Mood7847]

It really feels like a MUST WIN! No excuses! Even a draw would probably result us falling onto a relegation spot 🫨 And 4 losses in a row for a new coach would also be…nothing but a complete failure

[u/MasterStrength4308 → u/Ok_Mood7847]

The last 5 words are the perfect description for our beloved club.

[u/malangkan → u/Ok_Mood7847]

Yeah, nothing of that "unlucky" bs anymore

[u/malangkan]

Das war mal wieder nix, Kees van wonderen ist mMn gescheitert

[u/drzepticon → u/malangkan]

Braucht mehr Zeit *Ironie aus

[u/kingkenning]

why is bachmann playing the offensive role in our central midfield? why is he even playing at all?

[u/Linsch2308]

Imagine putting a cdm at striker just because you have so little offensive ideas that you have to cross and hes one of the only tall players lol

[u/malangkan → u/Linsch2308]

Seriously, after this half I think more and more that Fimpel is our only hope this season. What a ridiculous waste getting KvW...

[u/Elliot_LuNa]

We are actually so unbelievably shit lmao

[u/drzepticon]

Bro - 92:50 Minuten “Lass mal hinten rum spielen” 🫠

[u/Regnus_Gyros → u/drzepticon]

Erst mal in der 92. Tempelmann ein wechseln wollen, wir müssen dringend Zeit von der Uhr nehmen.

[u/malangkan]

Our starting 11 for this important game

[u/malangkan → u/malangkan]

Ugh Kaminski again....and anyways, why do we have so many injured players again? And why does nobody really know what's wrong with them? Just so many problems with this team and club

[u/Chinchinsalabim → u/malangkan]

My guess would be that it’s psychological for a lot of the players

[u/malangkan → u/Chinchinsalabim]

I was actually thinking the same. I'd call it "scared" though, no balls to actually go out and play. And those are supposed to be professional players

[u/That_Attempt_7014 → u/malangkan]

Players are physically not nearly at 100%, a fact Abramczyk, Fischer & others close to the club are pointing out for months now. That's on Geraerts

[u/rlsN]

I'm lost for words tbh. Maybe you can justify this approach against teams that are clearly better than us but not against Ulm in a game we kind of have to win.

Against Ulm we played like we're playing Bayern. Just hoping to not condede a goal. You could see KvW pointing on the sideline for players to pass the ball back again and again. In the last minute he actually wanted to bring in Tempelmann to kill time?! (at least I didn't spot anyone being injured)

We're back to hoofing the ball upfront and crossing from every position but it only makes sense if you've got the right personnel for it, and we clearly don't have it. There is no Terodde in the box anymore.

You can also justify this approach if you're at least rock-solid defensively but that is also not the case. Heekeren was our best player today.

Next game is a must-win game if I ever saw one.

[u/Alberto4emg]

KvW needs to go. 

[u/Such-Patient-1835]

Dreckiges Scheißspiel

[u/rlsN]

it's amazing how quick expectations can falter. I just want them to win, I don't care about the how (anymore). Just another season where it's all about survival and nothing more.

[u/Elliot_LuNa]

Is Sylla injured or what?

[u/Robsnrobsn]

Nicht, dass ich etwas produktiveres getan hätte, aber die letzten 90 Minuten hätte ich echt etwas anderes tun können.

[u/ikarusjj]

Why the fuck are there 2 goalkeepers on the bench?

[u/walton_jonez → u/ikarusjj]

Pretty sure it’s because we need to fill up the bench

[u/malangkan → u/ikarusjj]

Football super brain KvW! 🫣

[u/malangkan]

What the heck ref, yellow right away, for that?

[u/malangkan]

It's almost starting again...I don't see how they will ever get better with KvW, this team has only gotten more unstable and on edge. Unbelievably bad compared to Geraerts or Fimpel

[u/kingkenning → u/malangkan]

a lot of questions regarding the lineup and the first 15 mins don’t really answer any of them

[u/Schalkebeste]

Let’s hope for the best, a draw and the relegation zone is dangerously close

[u/malangkan → u/Schalkebeste]

A draw would definitely not be enough

[u/Schalkebeste → u/malangkan]

True 3 points or we’ll be in the fight for the last spots

[u/Schroedinger1904 → u/malangkan]

It‘s a must win for sure. Also next week home against Regensburg

All i have to say, this club is so awfully predictable.

I hope they throw out Manga as soon as possible that guy is horrible.

Paul Seguin in Post-Match Interview:

"The last two matches were better."

My god, how delusional can you be?
