    Yeah mate.

    Nike's, not grey or beige.

    Can be a bit racist Mihaijlovic but was a decent player no doubt.

    Probably not a massive surprise when you look at that back four. Not sure about the balance of the midfield, either.
    They've got a few absences, but the squad seems to be very top heavy.

    I’d never really watched much German domestic togger until the original lockdown when they got their league going early doors and I watched it just for my footie fix. Got to honest and say the quality was nowhere near the PL for me, Bayern aside obvs.

    I think that the lockdown's affected the quality quite dramatically, though I'm not entirely sure why.
    Union have done brilliantly, while some of the traditional big clubs have absolutely dropped off a cliff.
    Schalke are dead, Hertha and Bremen are **** and Monchengladbach are extremely average.
    Dortmund look good one week and utterly mediocre the next.

    The Premier League's struggled a bit with the packed schedule and Bundesliga clubs seem to have smaller squads, so perhaps it's that?
    It would explain why Bayern and Lawnballsports have been largely unaffected.

    Probably won't be long before Pirlo gets sacked at this rate. Falling behind in the league, style of play isn't great and struggling in Europe.

    They're not entertaining to watch, rely too much on individual moments of quality to score goals and look very vulnerable defensively.

    I wonder where he’ll end up and how much he’ll go for? Dortmund aren’t shy about moving players on for a tidy profit and he’ll have to go this summer before his buyout clause kicks in the following summer, if they want to maximise their profit.

    Incredible stats for a 20 year old.
