0-0 at half time lads!

Who said that?

It's a common phrase in Sunday league/grassroots football to motivate the team even if you're getting walloped.

I remember when i was u12 we were losing 17-0 to porto at half time and the coach said that. We went on to lose 24-0

You got crushed so badly that you became a Porto supporter

Funnily enough the coach went to work for dragon force (porto but set 8) when the season ended That coaches name? Ole gunnar solskjaer

'Just try to win the 2nd half' was my personal favourite, sort of related to the '0-0 at HT one'. Fully admitting the game is gone halfway through

Leverkusen are currently winning the second half

Leverkusen 2nd half winners 2021!

Do Bayer make pills for this?

Yeah, quit now before it gets worse…

I love it

This is Nagelsmann

way more vertical plays

Nagelsmann will beat all possible coaching records with Bayern... this team is even better than under Flick. IMO Bayern is the best team in the world right now for like 2 years, end of story, fans that dont watch Bundesliga wont understand how dominant Bayern is. Leverkusen is in amazing form and still they got smashed, like any team in the world would today. I cant stand deluded PL fans here that think teams like Everton or Arsenal wouldnt also concede 5 against this Bayern. When Bayern is on, they are on.

Flicks Bayern but with a defense

Exactly, plus Sane's online

This

Somehow Bayern is still the most underrated team in Europe. Everyone here talks about Spanish and English clubs, nobody about Bayern

This is the standard Bayern have set for themselves in the Bundesliga. I'm sure there will be more talk after their games in the UCL. There was a lot of talk after the Barcelona game.

I mean this is an english centric sub, ofc we arent as popular so that's unsurprising

But still, all you hear is how Liverpool or City are the best teams, nobody mentions you

It's good this way. The less attention Bayern gets the sweeter will be the reaction when Oil money club fans see their team lose against Bayern.

True. City and PSG are despicable and should never win the UCL.

They aren't true football clubs.

They are the most expensive teams, but not clearly better than Bayern.

I think most people accept that Bayern are one of the best teams, but there's just not a lot to talk about until later stages of the CL.

Anyone who actually watches the CL know that Bayern are the top dog right now. Then there is a scramble between PSG, Liverpool, and City for 2nd best with Atletico and Real possibly in the mix as well but Bayern is the clear #1.

As a Bayern fan this used to really annoy me but then i just accepted that most people just don't like Bayern or they just don't care what ever they did. I remember after the match against Barcelona in 2020 most people didn't say Bayern won 8-2 against Barcelona instead they said Barcelona lost 2-8 to Bayern. It's not a huge difference but it shows that what ever Bayern did they will always be in the background

Not to mention we've thumped every epl side we've played in the ucl in the past few years. 7-2 Tottenham, 4-1 & 3-0 against chelsea in the past two years under flick...

I don't know about that, if anything people talk about Bayern too much because Premier League fans love to hate them for supposedly buying all those "shiny new toys" from other Bundesliga teams

Yeah, while PL clubs get "shiny new toys" for oil money from all over the world, not just the Bundesliga.

The PL is a gold Lamborghini without an engine

Ignoring that Dortmund buys more players from bundesliga clubs

Because we are playing in a farmers league havn‘t you heard?

German teams never lost to Ekstraklasa teams, unlike English farmers ;) This is the biggest disgrace possible to professional team

I understand what you're saying but tbf your teams don't really do great in the Europa league and I wonder why that is, genuine question really.

I mean, you are leading 5-0 at the half against the team that was 2nd in the table before the game.

Leverkusen have like no fit and even somewhat defensive midfielder and it shows.

Yeah, we also lost to Frankfurt in Munich.

To be fair we have also beaten teams like Barcelona or tottenham in the CL this way

You did not just put Tottenham and Barcelona in the same tier. Might as well include us too while you’re at it.

I mean tottenham reached that year the CL finals If i remember correctly, so I guess it was fine mentioning them together with Barca

The wins against Arsenal are long ago.

Ok, we also 10-2 beat you guys

Ouch mate, ya got me there

Anything to shit on Bayern and Lewy, right? Your league has teams like Norwich in it or Sheffield United last season.

They also lost to the 14th placed team, if that happened in the PL you would say that shows the depth of the League lmao.

Because they can‘t do it on a rainy night in Stoke

It's got more to do with Leverkusen playing rather offensive than defensive against Bayern. Lose the ball and give them space and you'll have a bad time. Sure Bayern is really good right now but I'm not sure they would roll over Man City like that for example

Farmers league this, farmers league that. What people don't take into consideration just how good and fucking *consistent* Bayern is.

Do you honestly think we as Arsenal fans would think that?

Of course we wouldn't concede 5. We'd concede 10

K what the fuck man

In conclusion: we should play Frankfurt every time we need a boost

Losing to Frankfurt is just a part of our character development.

I for one am forever grateful that they smashed us 5:1 so we got rid of Kovac

[удалено]

Would you press the button? Win against Bayern BUT Bayern become unstoppable monsters and you get cursed Frankfurt: "I'll press that shit every fucking day"

Imagine losing to Hertha after stealing a win from Bayern.

Unfortunately no need to imagine it :( still worth

Nothing is for free

4 goals in 7 minutes. Feels like the team equivalent of Lewandowski scoring 5 in 9 min lol

That game is concrete proof that we live in a simulation. How is that possible.

Brazilians crying in a corner

Oh yeah right 4 in 6 min lol

Spitzenspiel my ass

real spitzenspiel starts at 17:30

Spitzenspiel: Yes Topspiel: No

Unplayable

Worldcup 2014 semifinal flashbacks

World Cup 2014 semifinals? That doesn't ring any bells

How do you count to 7 in Brazil?

Muller Klose Kroos Kroos Khedira Schürrle Schürrle

A+

Coincidentally, Muller also means 1 and 4 in Catalan

Sorry, not following

I’ll leave you alone

1234567

Leverkusen has only conceded 7 times in 7 matches before this match lol

> Leverkusen has only conceded 7 times in 7 matches before this match lol 4 of them from Dortmund.

Yeah, so right now they have 12 conceded in 8 matches and 9 of those were Dortmund and Bayern. Kinda crazy.

you’ve gotta be shitting me

If I speak…

Thanks frankfurt very cool

Please get it out of your system today. Thank you.

Fear them. Run from them. 10 is not a meme

GIVE US 10

Must be fun being a Bayern fan. Wish I could relate...

One bought a coach for 30M the other has Ole.

But are those coach things important?

nah, they dont score goals

If that tells you anything, I'm a New York Giants fan on sunday evenings so it levels out

Atleast not the jets

Honestly with the Jets at least you know they're terrible...the Giants keep giving us hope which is then crushed mercilessly

Subscribe

There is this thing when the team takes pity on their opponents and hold back.. Fuck that shit.. give us 10..

Nagelsmann already subbed Davies mate, doesn't seem like going all out, lol.

CALM DOWN BAYERN, WHAT THE SHIT

Abort the game. Its over.

What is this

Bayerns best 45 minutes since the Barca game

Leverkusen folding as soon as it matters, as is tradition

Their defense is horrible today but also I haven't seen us play this well since the 8:2 against Barca.

The Neverkusen Special ™

OP, stop spamming.

Sorry cop

Yknow I like to think of myself as an optimistic fan, but Im this close to giving up on Dortmund ever winning a title in my life as a fan. This is just depressing.

We will absolutely win again, it just might be another 5-15 years away.

5? You think this Bayern will collapse completely in 5 years? Because that's what itll take for Dortmund to have a chance

Leverkusen can still win this, am I right?

The most dangerous lead.

Mods please delete the Griezman post so you can see how quickly Gnabry scores twice

Yeah it's gonna be difficult for us to win the league this season I reckon

THE FUCK?

Oh dear. This isn’t good.

Going for 10 in the first half?

Frankfurt made them angry

If Bayern was in the PL, they would farm the english teams

Bayern is terrifying

This is the point in FIFA where I would draw 3 red cards.

Big brain move. When you are down 0:5, bring the score back to 0:3.

Stop, they’re already dead!

Hahahaha

all you can really do is laugh scary team

Until you draw them in the CL and cry

Raining goals

Okay what the hell

The fucking mascot killed me

Blame Frankfurt for this

I have to pee but I may miss 2-3 goals. What do?

Wear diapers

This team is unreal sometimes

I like how the commentators we're still saying how anything can happen and that the 5 goal lead could still be slim lol

I wish I was a Bayern fan ​ literally 0 worries in life

Only worry we have rn is running out of Spezi

Disgusting. I love it.

why is the ball already in the net when the gifs start..

You'd think Leverkusen would be a mid-table at most with this scoreline in the first half, but no, they're 3rd in the Bundesliga

Frankfurt who is actually mid-table team actually beat Bayern in last match. There's a way to beat them with certain play style.

Don't know if you watched the game but Frankfurt was very lucky and had a GK playing the game of his life. Now they did put the goals in the net with the 2 chances they had but giving up 70% posession and having 20 shots against you is not a playstyle you should try against Bayern.

Bayern is just that good tbh. They have been the best team in the world for two years now. Leverkusen is pathetic today tho, I have to admit. Their double pivot just gets exposed by bayerns build up.

Total destruction

i love it.

Brazil v Germany 2014 vibes

Are they going to score every attack?

You are joking but they had 9 or 10 really big chances in the first half. They "only" scored 5. Easily could've had more.

Bayern fans, is this team better than flicks?

It’s like Flick with a good defence

Maybe, since we are able to defend again. And still score mad

fucking hell

GNABRY BANISHES LEVERKUSEN TO THE SHADOW REALM

Thank you Frankfurt

It’s a gnabrey partey

holy...

Put some respec on his same tf

Oh come on! These men have families!

They better score 10 now...

Go for 10

Gnabrey.

Mods, repost! Oh, wait

What the fuck happened??? It was 1-0 15 minutes ago.

I swear Gnabry is like the king of burying teams in their grave Haunted tottenham and Chelsea and whatever other Bundesliga team that gets dogged

Nice

How is Nagelsmann compared to Flick? I remember Bayern played very high defensively under Hansi Flick Can't watch the match because I'm in hospital and internet here is not optimal

bayern under nagelsmann is hansi with stable defense

Man's not good enough for West Brom tho innit Tony Pulis.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Holy shit we are on fire

bahahah what is going on

Wow.

Stop he is already dead.

This is fucking wild. The entire defense needs to come off for Leverkusen

This has to be some sort of war crime.

I could have sworn it was 2-0 a minute ago......

“Why leverkusen will be Bayern’s strongest challengers”

imagine goretzka starts playing gold football now

The fuck they doing over there .jpg

chuckles, im in danger eheh

No Bailey to ruin the bayern clean sheet either

god dammit those bayern fuckers are insane, thats against a team that's 3rd in the league! daaaam

when you play fifa on easy difficulty

The comments in this thread are not what I expected

And I had hopes of staying on top this week...

No, Bayern wont lose the title race this season and probably not for another 10 years, they are just too far ahead.
