That puts them through to the semis, right?

Yes

The DFB-Pokal remains unbeatable. 3rd tier Saarbrücken have eliminated Bayern, Frankfurt & now Gladbach to book a place in the semi at home against Kaiserslautern.

Saarbrucken 2-1 Monchengladbach; 5 minute highlights - https://ourmatch.me/12-03-2024-1-fc-saarbrucken-vs-borussia-monchengladbach

[MBL?]

Wirtz is not a midfielder, and plays in the reserved number 10 role Xabi uses; Elliot is great, but Wirtz is another level and plays further forward.  Wirtz is younger (by a month) and, whilst Elliot is yet to break into the senior England squad, Wirtz is the best German player by a mile and a strong Ballon D'Or contender in a couple of years along with Bellingham - he is *THAT* good

Never said he was a midfielder. I just don't believe the 100m it would take would be worth it. We don't really play with a 10 currently but if we did maybe Elliott is that player in a new setup? It just doesn't seem like a smart thing to do to spend a massive amount on a position we don't particularly need. Also if alonso comes and plays the same system it could be Mo who takes up the 10 spot.

Saarbrücken are a fucking blast!

Reading up on Schalke, their financial situation is really bad, currently 15th in 2 Bundesliga, sounds like they won't get a licence if they're relegated to 3 Liga, would have to play in the regional leagues.

Wow, they were in the CL in 2019, wtf happened to them?

[disgraced cake]

Leverkusen must think they're dreaming really. Among probably strolling to the title without defeat, looking to be one of the favourites in a European competition, they get to the final four of the German cup where they'll probably be playing a third division side in the final. No disrespect to Saarbrucken of course, they've beat Bayern, Frankfurt and Monchengladbach and could surely give Leverkusen a game, but you'd rather play them than even a struggling Bundesliga side in the final. Leverkusen actually the only top flight team left, madness.

[In the Name of Klopp]

Yes

Thx.

Covid wrecked them financially if I remember correctly, and it didn't help that they kept losing players on free transfers (pre-covid).

[Yorkykopite]

Was Nathan Tella at Southampton at one point? Name rings a bell.

That's because he worked at your local bank for a while.

Clearly a great investment for Bayer…

Dani Olmo is great to watch - I always feel he’s on the verge of greatness but he never seems to take that final step. 26 soon so still has some time but I thought he’d have kicked on further by now.

Enjoying Bayern’s struggles - tuned in mainly to watch Musiala after some chat on the transfer page.

One thing I will say about Kane, he is one of the best strikers I’ve ever seen at keeping themselves onside and being positioned perfectly for the finish so that he looks like he must’ve gone early but never has. An absolute great at it, as much as I dislike the bloke.

he'd be a player to admire and be envious of, if he wasn't a self-absorbed mouth-breathing clever-at-falling-over prick.

Sounds like Christian Streich might be retiring end of the season  😢

Kloppo taking time away from football, Streich retiring, that’s not just the two of the very best German coaches out there, but easily the 2 most empathetic characters in football stepping away this summer. A huge void.

A real shame if he does. I guess at 58 he’s approaching a ‘normal’ retirement age. Klopp was spot on when he said he wanted to retire at an age he could still enjoy himself and he had no interest in being one of these 70 year-old managers still trying to fight on.

I don't see anyone beat Leverkusen in the league or cup. That only leaves us in the final of the Europa.
