mozo Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 Of course it's weird without a crowd, but I'm slowly getting used to it. But great to see live football again! Erling Haaland, what a phenom! I'm looking forward to seeing other Bundesliga stars like Kai Havertz and Timo Werner. I'm also intrigued by Union Berlin and their attritional style of football.

1964w Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 Haaland looks a quality footballer, involved in Dortmund first three goals We were linked with him at Leeds, probably because his dad played for us, too good for the championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, he's 19, and has 41 goals in all comps this season, including 10 in the German Bundesliga at about a goal per hour played, and 10 in the Champs League. With Messi and C Ronaldo getting on a bit now, we have Haaland and Mbappe as the new superstars coming through, but with more of a (Brazilian) Ronaldo style; fast, powerful and lethal. They're technically good but can play on the shoulder and punish defences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Geoff Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 Great to see live football back on our screens again. Really enjoyed the Dortmund game and will watch Bayern tomorrow.

YorkshireSection Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 Maybe people could put the details of the upcoming games. It would be dead handy for someone like me who gets confused with finding the correct stations and times etc........

Thanks Pretty sure they're all BT Sport? Just varies whether which channel of theirs, if you have Sky you can add BT Sport monthly pass for £25 a month. And BBC's fixture list should provide a list of all fixtures. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/german-bundesliga/scores-fixtures/2020-05?filter=fixtures Tuesday 26th May Dortmund v Munich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Union were good for 15 minutes then completely outplayed for the rest of the match. Havertz on show tomorrow night. I missed Marcus Thuram (son of Lilian) at BMg. He's supposed be really good.

mozo Posted May 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Having watched Leverkusen twice this week, I'm starting to think he'd be better for Liverpool than Timo Werner. Havertz just has a touch of class that is fitting for the current crop of scousers. He's also a threat in the air, which Liverpool don't currently have in forward areas. He could push Firmino for that central role. In other news, La Liga back in a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 It was looking like another walk in the park for Bayern at 3-0 tonight but perhaps not now. 3-2 and they look like they`ve forgotten how to defend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
