I feel that players should be payed more only if they made an appearance for the club in the week. Something like basic wages ,maybe 20k or something per week, and bonus paid for appearing in a match(es) for the club this week, addition 50k. Similar to goal,assist, clean sheet bonus.

And any Man U fans missing Moyes now? I felt that Moyes wasn't given enough time to turn it around but I was in the minority back then.

Ah fuck, there is the 1:1 in BVB vs Köln. Long overdue tbh, we should not have been ahead for so long lol. BVB can be happy with 1 point assuming they do not concede another goal

Edit: Kind of shows the problem with Bürki though, he makes way too many silly mistakes that results in goals

the situation was clearly untenable already. he's lost the dressing room, i see no point in keeping him. he clearly failed to do his job (managing the players). That's not to say the players aren't to blame, very likely they were just trying to oust him by playing badly (hence the betrayal comments).

First of all. This is Sunderland, teams like Villa and Sunderland this season (and to a degree Newcastle) are even worse shape than Chelsea. Teams like Bournemouth are weak but they play with alot of heart and character and that can be enough for a struggling team, but Sunderland doesnt have anything going for them

Secondly, its not like the players play badly on purpose. They play badly because they dont feel motivated because the guy leading them is a mega cunt (atleast in their minds). No one likes to lose, please offer the players that much respect.

We all know these are top tier players, but if a manager is unable to get the players to play for whatever reason its his fault. It doesnt take to much to motivate players, but obviously shitting on them week in week out and shitting on everbody else ither managers, referee, the FA, the world, without introspection has its just rewards and Mou got them.

Still I wouldnt read into the Sunderland result to much, theres lots to do.

God damn it. Ah well, you can't beat them all. This was one of our worst games by far, lucky that it was close for this long lol. We should really not loose to Köln.
I am very happy with our season so far (even though this loss fucking sucks and is completly unnecessary), worst case we are still 9 points above the next dangerous team (i do not count Berlin as a top team). Sad thing is that this confirms Bayern as champ, there is no way they loose it now.
Kind of shows the problem of the team though, they concede to many goals. Doesnt matter if we score 3 or 4 times but they are actually needed to win the games because we always concede at least one

Out of curiosity i checked this seasons games:
We did not concede goals in only 7 out 26 games (not counting EL qualification, can probably make that out of 30 games since we conceded in all games vs Wolfsberger and the other club i believe)
4 in league (17 games)
2 in cup (3 games)
1 in europe league (6) games
It never occured to me that we were this bad at defending haha, makes the stupidly high amount of goals we scored necessary so the season is running very succesfull so far

Absolutely deserved loss today and I'm not even mad. Köln showed great spirit and were a step ahead every time since minute 30.
Worst player today was Tuchel. Castro was needed instead of Ramos, starting Park was a horrible choice. Sokratis or Ginter would've been 10 times better even though it's the wrong side. Too bad we gave Dudziak away who, while Tuchel doesn't see him as a left back, would flourish in his system on that position.

Overall a great first half of the season. I hope we go the unusual way and part ways with Hofmann + Park this winter and try to invest into the future. In my opinion it would be useful to strengthen the team now and start to build a tactical base with new players because there won't be too much time after next years euro.

Happy 106th birthday my BVB! <3

Shocking Chelsea players, breeze aside Sunderland for fun. Thank god they got boo'd when they were subbed and then Mourinho name rang out to make them understand what they have done. It will only be this game they will get boo'd our fans are not that stupid but they are making a point loudly. Perfect.

Also Mourinho back in a job by this time tomorrow eh, poor guy has to live in Manchester though

It's perfectly natural from players nothing shocking there, and with this happening not first time it just shows that while Mourinho is very good coach he is awful manager.

Honestly the only player who looked completely better today than prior was Oscar. Pedro and Willian looked this active last week and obviously Willian is having a good year. Costa is still running into people and falling down...I think he just mentally lost it around Christmas last year and hasn't been the same.

Its pretty clear from Cesc's comments earlier this week that he was upset with some of the players on the team and I think you can see a difference.

Maybe Oscar was given more freedom today (as he did seem to drift around a lot) and maybe he was unhappy under Mourinho. However, the last few weeks Chelsea had been playing about as well as today and just not able to find the net. Sunderland are a wreck though and that was a lot of it.
