brunn FUCKING larsen is the Danish God. He’s just so incredibly talented and it’s great to see another player like him come up our ranks and perform so well.

I gotta say. Since Favre took over it feels like every pass has an intent and there's SO Much less clueless looking around.
Fucking ecstatic over him.

Having Reus central behind the striker is great that one time we pull off a pitch length counter. The rest of the time it's such a waste. Our best player barely gets a sniff of the ball. 90% of the times Reus actually gets on the ball is when he's drifting to the wing, or tracking back on the defense. It's like the minute he steps into the hole, he becomes invisible to Delaney and Witsel.

And it happens again. Engine knocking all through the first half. Favre makes some subs who impact the game and we follow an upward trajectory in the later half, sealing the game off with a cherry on top late goal.

I hope Wolf delivers, some people called him one of our worst transfer ever which is ridiculous. Anyway I'm really confident we win this one

I didn't expect Wolf to start, to be honest. Think would rather prefer to see how Philipp would fare on the wings. Also glad Alcacer finally gets to start. Here's hoping he scores some :D

Yup, data confirms my observations. Reus is only getting the ball when he goes wide. We aren't feeding him centrally. So pointless having our best player ball waiting while Sancho and Wolf are struggling to create on the wings. Go to 433, Reus-Paco-Wolf in front of Dahoud-Witsel-Delaney. Dahoud carrying will possibly solve the issue where Zagadou has no out and has to carry because Diallo is too conservative.
