Fuck
We were 4 points behind Bayern 5 minutes ago, now the gap is 7…
Kovac refusing to substitute and the players on the pitch always choke in dying minutes. This club has so much mentality issues im actually done. Whole game was horrible to look at. No where near the second best in the league.
What an awful match that was
I will never understand how Kovac decides his subs. Team looks gassed and we only sub twice until minute 93. Guirassy playing incredibly underwhelming once again and Silva is on the bench for 90.
Just pathetic by these players man, not one of them can put pressure on any of the last 3 crosses. Basically gave them 3 free kicks. Kovac needed to make more subs for sure, but we handed them the equivalent of 3 free kicks in a dangerous area back to back to back.
They had almost no opportunities until we changed our mentality after the 0-1. Gifted them a point.
Fully deserved, we got away with 1-0 two times in row when we shouldn’t won. Again this game showed that team doesn’t have enough quality. Also need to blame Kovac for subs this time,very poor managed game from him.
Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy we win!!!!!!!!! So fed up with this
Almost like playing 1-0 park the bus is a pussy mentality.
Can’t wait to see Kovac blaming the CL game for this. Or maybe the Hamburg weather for being too cold?
We need to play silva . He is not even coming as a sub and guirassy for the past couple of games is not even getting chances on target never mind goals. This was a very frustrating game to watch
I don’t know what Kovac expected. It isn’t a winning strategy to abandon offense with a one goal lead, refuse to use your subs, and park the bus against a team that is gaining momentum.
I think subbing on an extra defender in the end never worked for us.
All on kovac
Had to happen eventually with these constant 1 Goal Games.
Really annoying that in week where we could have pulled us back up its just another meh performance just with a point loss this time.
Also that we end it with the same amount of yellows plus this excessive extra time caps off an absolutely braindead performance by the Ref.
Bayern and Leipzig drop points so of course we have to do the same
Either Kovac changes this shit or he’s done. You can’t play the “oh we get results even if we play shit” if we’re barely squeaking out results against shit teams and then failing to get the results like this week and the first week of the season. The player quality is better than this they’re being held back by the man on the touchline at this point.
Today was a golden opportunity after both Bayern and Leipzig dropped points. We can’t take our chances man.
Kovac is lucky the results are good at the moment. We play god awful, boring and uninspiring.
We need a player who can break low and mid blocks because that’s why we have been struggling especially to break of these defensive lines either a good elite passer or a player with that flairy spark
Problem with how we’re playing lately is that by not scoring early, by not killing games vs inferior opponents early, we give every opponent a chance, we invite everyone to do their best against us because they feel they have a fair chance – teams work super hard against us and each game costs our players lots of energy because we have to be worried and fight for the result until the final whistle.
Sooner or later this was to come back and bite us. Unfortunate result but the writing was on the wall.
It’s been well over a month since we scored 2 goals in a league game
oh god this is depressing.
Wasting two hours of my weekend to see this uninspired shit and Bayern scoring in the last second.
4 cbs on the pitch and u concede a header
Sabitzer kommt rein und joggt da gemütlich neben dem Flankengeber her, Millionengehalt für ein bisschen Jogging auf dem Platz
Except for that final goal for me schlotti was a 10 on 10 this game and this was probably his best performance this season after that bayern game
I hope this game serves as a wake up call that Kovac haramball doesn’t work. Starting Guirassy and Beier doesn’t work either.
The Koln and Augsburg games were lucky wins. Even the Wolfsburg game was a lucky win with the ball almost over the line.
Enough of “we would have lost these games last time” or “a win is a win” nonsense. Hope this game puts pressure on Kovac to continue pressing even after the 1st goal has been scored.
you play shit football you get shit results
So THIS is how Kovac lost his Bayern/Monaco/Wolfsburg support.
Pathetic week of boring, uninspired football.
This loss is 10% on the players, 1% the ref and 89% on Kovac
Dont know why Couto or Silva didnt come on, Couto should even have started
Ryerson is great but going forward hes very one dimensional
If I were Fabio Silva, I’d feel fooled and start questioning whether my move was the right decision
maybe it would be a good idea to create more than 1 chance per match
especially against 2ndleague teams
5 goals in 5 games. The defense has been solid, and was again for the most part of today. The issue is without question the final third. Today was Beier’s best game in awhile, which goes to show how bad he’s been. But the main issue is Guirassy. The stock he’s earned for last year or whatever should be all but burned up. He CANNOT create anything for himself or any other. And the baffling part is the idea to pair him with Beier is something I don’t understand. I like Kovac for the most part, and idea people say he should be canned is ridiculous, BUT he needs to grow a pair and start Silva. I think he’ll be good, but I wish the staff would atleast see and find out.
The other thing is don’t understand is Groß. It’d be one thing if he was good with corners or free kicks, but he’s not. I just don’t understand what he does that Sabitzer or Bellingham(normally, since Nmecha is usually a starter) can’t do, minus the turtle pace.
And then to top it off, Bayern tied with Union while Leipzig lost against Hoffenheim. Thats 2 points we could’ve gained on Bayern and 3 on Leipzig. But nope, and nope(just +1).
Gettting thumped by Man City on the road is one thing, but this result is entirely another. Very disappointing.
The problem with Kovac is that Sahin and Tersic were such utter shit that compared to them he looks above average.
When the reality is that he should be coaching Hamburg.
Our fitness has improved and we’re slightly more stable defensively, but we have made zero progress offensively. I can’t remember the last time we had good combinations… Good crosses… Good free kicks… It’s all just a continuation of the last 5 years of mediocrity.
