  1. What the fuck man. Not sure if I’m infuriated or disappointed

    Edit: this red card is really gonna piss me off week in and week out when it happens to Guirassy constantly. Look for two-hand holds, boys. Doesn’t matter if he gets the shot off, it’s not an attempt to play the ball so it’s a deliberate foul so instant red+penalty. That’s what we “learned” today.

    Lower your expectations folks. This season is gonna be just another fight for top 4 finish.

  3. You know what? I’m not gonna blame Kovac, it’s Kehl’s fault. We only have 1 number 10 and we are forced to start Mané. We have money and we’re not spending it, and we’re looking for shit candidates too…

  4. Man, if this game isn’t a showing of how incredibly flawed this squad is then you are either stupid or being intentionally blind.

    Again, our midfield is shit and we needed another body. I will be proven right by January when we inevitably look for one while I was hoping for one since the start of the window and it is a FUCKING DISGRACE THAT WE DON’T HAVE A 10 SIGNED. I don’t care if Carney is signed next week, it is still a failure that it wasn’t sorted earlier and it will be an obvious failure when he gets injured and we’re back here again. At the same time Beier and now probably Fabio Silva won’t be changing results like this because their position isn’t the fucking issue, it’s the midfield and 10.

    As for the team, Kovac needs to fix up with his selection. Sabitzer or Groß, never both. If he keeps on making this amateur error then he isn’t helping himself at all and is asking for fans to want him out.

    Didn’t miss this at all. Good night

  5. This Club is just Despair.

    How can we do this shit every fucking year 3-4 times.

    Already lost 2 points because we can’t sign an CB.

    There is absolutely no way we can’t afford a new CB with the money from Gittens, CWC, and now Reyna. We don’t have as bad of money issues as they make it out to be. This is ridiculous — an obvious hole we need to fill in the squad, and they do nothing about it.

  7. Same team as last year… i don’t know why I was optimistic for. Was to be expected.

    We have got a week and 1 day to get some new signings in here, otherwise it’s going to be a shit show until who knows when. Just about the only positive out of that game was hints of a Brandt redemption arc.

    Gotta feel for Mane too, harsh red card

  9. Really don’t want to read/hear any complaints about the ref. Defending is absolutely doable with 10 men. You have to be able to hold onto the lead for the last 5 minutes + extra time. Bottling this is embarrassing.

  10. Man we had that game literally to take but ruined by a young CB on his debut where have I seen this before.

    Honestly sucks for Mane but he didn’t play that smartly and Guirassy missing the pen then not working hard to shut down Smith was tough to see. We were starting to play really well and it all just slid down a hill.

    We need one more CB for sure now.

    Wasn’t able to watch the game. Did we collapse in the last 5 minutes or what happened?

  12. I’m sorry but this is not a straight red card. Not even a var worthy call. If jöllenbeck gives it right away I’m fine, but there wasnt even a single Pauli player that protested. That’s just fucked up, especially the red on top

  13. props to pauli for their result, that said how can u half ass ur job so that the team with the fewest goals last season scores 3 against you?

    personally the red card was too harsh and i wouldnt give a red card and a pen in the same play unless its some egregious foul but we cannot simply afford to have players that hide in those moments

    they are paid millions only to shit in their pants when we need them the most fkn hell

  14. This is why transfer windows matter. We can’t just pocket the money and take nice vacations with it. We need to buff out the squad every year 

  15. This is the first time we haven’t won the opening game of the season since 2014-2015 😔. Im sure we’ll bullshit our way to a top 4 finish anyway but this was so preventable. We don’t need to do this every season

  16. Always gonna be difficult to defend being a man down but what an absurd red card. It was a penalty but man the way we fell apart with a decent lead is very familiar. Also do we have a debut cb red card curse? Kabar from memory was also sent off on his debut last season.

  17. Conscious-Weird5810 on

    When Ricken and Kehl knowingly refuse to acquire players when the club is flush with cash this is the result. Any team with ambitions of trophies should not be starting Gross and Sabitzer. Nepotism 09 needs a new direction

  18. Just gonna put out there that we gave up 3 goals against a team that one week earlier couldn’t score a single goal from 41 shots against a fourth division side.

    We have serious issues.
