Interesting formation by Nagelsmann tonight. Essentially three 10s (Wirtz, Gündogan, Musiala) behind a false nine (Havertz). Could be horribly narrow and static, could be amazing creative football.

He got more chances than he deserved in Frankfurt. He still failed. That's definitely just on him, not on the club.

In a way. There is an easy fix for playing hungover (stop drinking) but there is no easy fix for just being a shit player.

It really seems to be a bit of a nuanced issue. Yes, crude oil price should be unaffected or even lower, if Russia can't process it anymore and has to sell it. Oil products however could become more expensive, as Russia was exporting quite a bit...

The thing is - I doubt that "working on your pressing" will work this way. To get it really effective it has to be cohesive along the team. By allowing some players to drop out of the formation (the defenders by dropping deeper) you open up gaps...

The usual next step would be to make Fährmann first choice keeper again :lol:

In a way... If you are the only one who does something right (like stopping the drinking culture), you have a clear advantage over other teams. Such things are now done right by every professional team and don't work anymore as an advantage...

Well, I didn't say that this is his while problem, did I?

Rashford is at his best when he can just run at a defence. By positioning him higher up EtH is weakening him. That tactical change is part of the current Rashford problem

Anyone who has two working legs can stand a few meters different. Claiming that they are unable to do that is probably the worst take I've seen all week. Probably you mean they are unable to cover the space behind their back when they position...

You had SAF. Nobody else had him. That made a lot of difference ;)

You say it yourself, it works in the beginning of most games and then players just drop off. Which shows a lack of discipline that EtH doesn't seem to be able to fix but just accepts as he never seems to address this. And considering how highly...

Stop calling Dortmund a "system based" team. Terzic is a terrible coach. The whole club lost it's way and is terribly managed. Every Dortmund player would look better under any competent manager (just look how improved Bellingham looks compared...

Was it in US interest to support Ukrainians who wanted to break free from Russian influence? Yes Did they try to influence the protests? Probably Is it surprising that nationalists / neo-nazis want to improve the independence of their country...

Considering that they had a net spend of 6m on him having him score some decisive goals is a bargain. Surely Chelsea hoped for that to happen more consistently and I wouldn't label him a big success, but he was simply a decent signing. Not as...
