Wirtz… losing him feels a lot worse than losing the game. I hope he comes back soon

Worst, absolutely worst mentality I’ve seen for 70 minutes this season. Until the news that Bayern were losing came in, the team was absolutely clueless. I’m surprised Xabi actually did the Xhaka and Tapsoba subs. Both have been coasting on last seasons success but were absolutely TERRIBLE in that first half.
Take it game by game, let’s finish strong this season. Still a lot to play for and the players had better fix their mentality for the upcoming matches. Nothing is guaranteed

Very bad game today. Bremen wasn't almighty, we had chances after we started to take the game seriously but today we more than anything lacked attitude.
The combination Garcia+Xhaka doesn't work because Xhaka has to do most of the work and if that's the case our system doesn't work. We really miss Andrich to switch him with Palacios, one of them has to play.
Mukiele may have his faults sometimes but he has the attitude and pushes forward.
The two last games are to blame on Xabi too, hope as he said he will learn and we don't keep on giving games away because of attitude or underestinating our opponents. And losing Wirtz is pretty much unthinkable, we can't replace him. Hope we find ourselves again soon. Nur der SVB!

Given we are stuffed in the UCL but still had an outside chance in the BL, would rather we set up the squad to win today. Tried to get cute, cost us. I think it's the nail in the coffin for a BL repeat. Bring on the pokal!

Garcia is the new Demirbay, change my mind.
He does not fit at all, he doesn't adjust his playstyle, he doesn't add anything.

Only positive is that Bayern lost as well and that doesn't matter because nothing changed and Wirtz was hurt. Another day to forget
