Bayern 3 Fortuna 3/Mainz 1 Dortmund 2 FT
against Fortuna
3-2 to Bayern, 83rd min. Man I hope Fortuna score!
Meanwhile Dortmund up 2-1 against Mainz. Mainz looking VERY dangerous and good for a goal at any time.

VAR is killing Bayern..............before VAR, all their offside goals were allowed and good goals from opponents were not given. If their opponents complain, a coupled of their players get red carded.Scipio Africanus wrote:And Bayern could not hang on! 3-3!!!!! Fortunaaaa!!!!

I think might be onto something there.....saw the same thing with Real Madrid today....Referee actually disallowed Eibar's opening goal only for VAR to say otherwise. It wasnt the first time where they did that to Madrid. Its not a coincidence that since the introduction of VAR some big teams are struggling

They always have their plan B. Buy all the good players from everyone else. As long as they do not come for Paco and Reus with their stinking money, all is good.zee wrote:VAR is killing Bayern..............before VAR, all their offside goals were allowed and good goals from opponents were not given.

Some quality football at the Wanda Metropolitano

Liverpool, European Champions 2005.
We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Its weird that.....the same poor professional seems to be scoring very important goals for the manager who is consistently benching him even when he is playing well.
He is a young player....he will make mistakes and just like most gifted young players....you have to play him in order to iron out his flaws....not bench him every time he is making small mistakes.
The same poor professional is scoring important goals whilst the likes of Sergi Roberto are consistently playing crap but somehow the same manager keeps on rewarding them for consistently playing crap.

When you spend more than 100m on a player, you cannot afford such sloppiness. His goals return and overall performance does not begin to justify the investment.

Deschamp is not criticising the player, he has no problem with the player. He makes it clear he only knows what the press say, referring to one incident he refused to turn up for training because of a stomach bug. Deschamp also days he turns up late for training but he is not the only one, advising him to change certain aspects of his character. That's fair enough and good advice. It is not criticism questioning his professionalism. It is also nowhere as bad as the Barca newspapers.
Barca wants everyone to believe the player they made all those promises to in convincing him to sign for them but are now failing by not playing him is a poor pro. Then you have Barca's orchestrated leaks and lies about his professionalism to their fans via the press to justify their failing of the player. Dembele cannot win the PR war, but I try to look at both sides. I do not believe everything I read in the press, I also read what his side say about Barca, it is not complimentary.
A lot has been written and said about Dembele but the worst has to be the journalist, who said Barca are playing classical music and Dembele is playing hip hop. What pretentious racist rubbish that was. But it is also the sort of crap he has to put up with. Dembele will not suffer fools gladly and Barca do not like a kid who stands up for himself.
The player gets on the pitch and he delivers, yet the Coach refuses to give him a start. Dembele has put up with so much rubbish because he refuses to be treated like a 2nd class citizen. If Dembele is angry and lashing out, I cannot fault the player only. I fault the club more because they have failed the player and mismanaged the whole issue.

Re: Bayern 3 Fortuna 3/Mainz 1 Dortmund 2 FT
You are wasting time with him....He has failed to explain why Dembele is a poor professional......Dembele is doing exactly the same things young professional players are doing(gaming/hip-hop, e.t.c). Dembele is a devout muslim who doesnt drink, party nor smoke. I gave him an example of Malcom who is facing same on-field issues like Dembele. The issue is the coach who doesnt know how to use both of them but instead of them accepting that, they will rather drag Dembele's(later on its going to be Malcom) name on the mud.Waffiman wrote:I see your links are from newspapers thatare Barca's mouthpieces.

I was going to come on to this. Clubs like Barca have serious issues. Where a club like Arsenal is respectful and sensitive to their players needs, Barca are arrogant expecting the player to bow to their needs. At Arsenal, they have a mosque commission by the Inman of the local mosque for Arsenal Muslim prayers at the training ground and the stadium.

Before you sign the player, you do your homework and ensure you take care of the player's religious needs inter alia. A club like Barca don't need to be told this but Dembele is Muslim and Black, they did not care because they expect him to fit into their ways.
txj, unless I am getting my dates wrong, Klopp was at Liverpool when Dembele was leaving for Spain.

The issue of dieting came up for a reason- it came up for his poor dieting habits not his choice of halal food...
On Klopp you did not get your dates wrong; you got your facts wrong! He lived in Klopp's apartment in Dortmund. Remember Dortmund? The club he coached for years?
This is not about respect for a player. It's about the lack of professionalism of the player.
I can understand if your argument is that it serves Barca right, given how they got the player in the first place. But don't bring race or religion into it!
