German Football 21/22 | Gladbach sign Farke

[Blackwidow]

Was surprised today to read that injured and suspended players count as "available" in the covid rule of having to have less than 16 eligible players available in order for a match to be cancelled.
Strikes me as somewhat douchy.

The rule is there so that the teams cannot manipulate it...

But as it is probably "normal" to have 2 or 3 injured players they should add 2 or 3 players to the requirements!

As it is game will go on as planned even in that situation.

Fascinating... Union had the most games and the least injuries.

I guess bottom line is that you will have some correlation between impact of injuries and that table, but the fact that they calculate with squads as large as 36 players makes it kind of hard to take the chart at face value. It would be far more interesting if they tried to factor in the value a player represents to his team, even if it's just by creating a very basic variable made up of whoscored ratings and TM market value.

The squad sizes do not really relate to the squad sizes at transfermarket. (Whoscored only lists the players that had minutes what does not include players that were totally out because of injuries)

Bayern e.g. had 25 players listed on transfermarket - same as at whoscored. I actually do not know where they got the additional 2 players from...

Dortmund had 28 players getting minutes - 33 listed on transfermarket.

Our bench is something else tonight
Almost 20 years between the oldest and youngest field players with 35 and 16

 

[Blackwidow]

Our bench is something else tonight

Two that turned 16 last month, one is 17, two 18 and a 19 year old. And oldie Feldhahn from the U23 and Früchtl as 2nd goalkeeper!

 

[Hansi Fick]

Never even heard of Wanner or Copado, though I assume the latter is Brazzo's nephew?

Yes. Son of Francisco Copado who played e.g. for Haching and grandson of Anton Schrobenhauser who was goalie for Bayern II and I in the 70s.

Wanner like Ibrahimovic could still play U17 but plays U19 - that is special as they are born in December!

 

[B. Munich]

Don't care much about the result. I just hope the only recently returned players, like Gnabry, Süle and Kimmich, don't catch any injuries.

I'm sure in the EPL the match would have been postponed despite an even tighter schedule.

 

[Hansi Fick]

What a goal!

 

[Berbaclass]

Lewa is unreal. That turn and finish!

 

[Blackwidow]

20th goal of Lewy
14th assist of Müller

 

[Berbaclass]

Where did that come from

1-1

 

[Hansi Fick]

Poor goal to concede. From the defending down to the goalkeeping.

 

[Berbaclass]

Bayern

 

[GhastlyHun]

Fecking Gladbach feckers

 

[Berbaclass]

Fecking Gladbach feckers

Kryptonite

 

[Hansi Fick]

feck me

 

[Hansi Fick]

always the same with fecking Gladbach


anyway Gnabry losing loads of balls with poor touches

 

[Red the Bear]

Didn't gladbach ship 6 goals in one half a while ago? Whats the deal with them?

They love playing Bayern

 

[Berbaclass]

Could get ugly for Bayern this

 

[GhastlyHun]

They love playing Bayern

Only Bundesliga team with a record that isn't completely lopsided against Bayern across the last 7-8 years, they won as many as they lost.

 

[Hansi Fick]

well at least we've still got Ibrahimovic on the bench

 

[Berbaclass]

Great game this.

 

[GhastlyHun]

Good lord, someone needs to put that away

 

[B. Munich]

How can they miss that. That have to be a goal.
Gladbach very lucky to be ahead.

 

[Red the Bear]

Bayern just trying to make it seem that the league doesn't get fixed every single year

come at me ye german salt eaters

 

[Hansi Fick]

Not very happy with Sabitzer both tonight and as a transfer

 

[Red the Bear]

Does every team play with such a high line?

Is there even a burnley archetype that tries to shithouse their way in?

 

[James Peril]

FC Bayern clearly exhausted and without a lot of their players, something tells me this game should have been called off. Doesn’t matter though, they’ll win the league regardless. Just put on a guy that was 15 years old a week ago…

 

[Hansi Fick]

Take THAT Moukoko!

 

[FootballHQ]

Is Ibra guy any relation?

Yeah guessed Bayern had some sort of covid outbreak with how weak their bench is. Still 'Gladbach having their annual testimonial v them (didn't realise how low they actually are in the league).

 

[Hansi Fick]

Is Ibra guy any relation?

Nope. Just a kid from Nürnberg.

 

[Hansi Fick]

these chances, feck me

 

[NoPace]

How's this Kone fella rated? Nice couple minutes of play there.

 

[Hansi Fick]

Right back in playing more passes towards his left than his right shocker

 

[verycute]

well. even bayern cant compensate this many players

still crazy how much gladbach struggles

 

[Hansi Fick]

Oh well. Losing the Rückrunde opener to Gladbach is a Bayern classic. True to form.
