Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Silence Scream]

Obviously it's the thing to do.
At present, apart from his old injury, Neuer's age is also not young anymore because he is currently 36 years old. On the other hand their second goalkeeper Sven Ulreich is also 34 years old now and I think this is too old for their big club because even for the bundesliga maybe it doesn't really matter but of course there is the Champions League and this is old for their goalkeeper if compare with other big clubs.

Maybe these two players will retire soon and enjoy their old days in peace, and for the team that is left behind they will immediately look for replacement players when next year's transfer market opens, with old age it will affect the performance of the game when on the field which might be impact on the team they have.

We know that Manuel is old but I still think he has another 4 or 5yrs to play. Goal keepers are not easily affected by age because they can play even upto 42 years. They don't have much distance to cover. And when your team is the better side, Goalkeeper may not sweat till match end.
Bayern Munich will need to be careful in order to have a good replacement because it is not easy to have a world class goalie like Manuel Neuer

Yes, it is true that they are less active, but goalkeepers may also have a decrease in their reflexes as they age.  Although Neuer has proven to the world how good he is, Bayern Munich needs a young and quality goalkeeper.  Neuer has reached a certain age now and his reflexes may decrease.  Even the slightest defeat cannot be tolerated for Bayern Munich.  So they can get a new goalkeeper.

Obviously it's the thing to do.
At present, apart from his old injury, Neuer's age is also not young anymore because he is currently 36 years old. On the other hand their second goalkeeper Sven Ulreich is also 34 years old now and I think this is too old for their big club because even for the bundesliga maybe it doesn't really matter but of course there is the Champions League and this is old for their goalkeeper if compare with other big clubs.

Yeah probably his age is catching up to him, he can not handle so much fatigue, and his body is crumbling down, surely he is not getting younger anymore and he can then now choose that this season will be his last, but it is up to him for that to decide, and this long break that the Bundesliga have right now is really a blessing for those many injuries that Bayern Munich has, and right now Sadio Mane is pretty much prominent fighter to be on the sideline,

I feel like he could help, but what could they offer him? I mean I still think that he should be going to that Qatar club, maybe it's not a good deal to be living there for that long for someone from western civilization. The ideas of freedom is not available there, they want you to "respect their culture" and by that they mean they are forcing rules to you.

This means that we are talking about someone who would be living there with his girlfriend and kids, and that is why I highly doubt that it would be a wise decision BUT it's also 200 million a year. I feel like if he just had that a year later, maybe it would make sense but right now he could still play for Dortmund if they could offer a good deal.

For me, it is better for him to retire, he doesn't need to prove anything anymore, and people already know that he is not in his prime anymore, but if he is doing this just for the money and he got a great over in Qatar or overseas, then I think if it is worth it, for his family the grab it, if that club is willing to pay you despite all of that drama not in prime anymore, but surely he knows himself pretty much well so just let him,

Maybe these two players will retire soon and enjoy their old days in peace, and for the team that is left behind they will immediately look for replacement players when next year's transfer market opens, with old age it will affect the performance of the game when on the field which might be impact on the team they have.

well, it is good to always retire in your younger years, you can do many things with that body that still got strength in it, than retiring in old age, that doesn't have enough time and strength to do things that you liked, well they all saying that it is always to retire in the younger version of yourself,

Age is no longer on the side of Manuel Neuer and the more he stays as the number one choice the more his fitness and good performance will begin to deteriorate so I think allowing him to stay 4 to 5 years as the number one goalkeeper may affect the team, especially if he begins to concede unnecessary goals as a result of poor goalkeeping. Keepers are affected by age you can easily notice it when the keeper no longer keeps smartly and when he no longer makes incredible saves like he use to so I think whether the team is winning games or not having a younger goalkeeper with experience is far better than keeping a 42 years old goalkeeper for a team like Bayern Munich who will be fighting to win more trophy and defend the league title also.

[LUCKMCFLY]

The very bad performance of Germany in World Cup can affect Bayern Munich too. Germany have many players from Bayern and look at their performances in World Cup, it is not good for Bayern when they meet PSG in Champions League.

Of course it will have an impact. First of all, Bayern can train with a full squad much earlier. Then no one will be injured either. But I would not say that the players are now playing worse at Bayern Munich. In the national team, it was not just the palyers from Bayern Munich. Hansi Flick did not manage to form a team from the individual players.

You are right, indeed Bayern Munich is a team that sends a lot of players to Germany. But in terms of games, they were better when they played at Bayern Munich than when they played in Germany. Moreover, the strategic factor will also greatly affect the form of their game. I also see that Nagelsmann and Hansi Flick differ in terms of strategy. It will have an impact maybe, but it won't be significant in my opinion.

We cannot deny that Almenaia's performance was very bad, but I believe that the match they should have won was Spain's, no matter what happened before, that was already part of the past, but I think Germany lacked much more character and a sense of belonging to their team, to say here I am and no one takes me out, but I think the technical director failed much more, I saw that the players were more eager to defend human rights and the rights of the LGTBI+ community than anything else , so all this influenced because they were not focused, these things should teach that when you go to a soccer world cup it is to play soccer and that's it, political problems and other things should be left behind.

Dortmund has also had some bad luck in recent months. They thought they had found a reasonable replacement for Haaland in the form of Haaler. But then he unexpectedly got a bad diagnosis about his health. They can't help that. The width in Germany has also improved slightly in recent years. Nothing is lost for Dormund yet. Just look at RB Leipzig, in the beginning they were almost in the relegation place and now they are just back in the top 3. Immediately a nice showdown with Bayern Munich the first game after the winter break.

ya.ya.yo!

Dortmund's productivity is still not quite enough to me. They are too far behind Bayern Munich in terms of the number of goals they have scored so far. Let's say we don't compare any team to Bayern Munich about that. But even then, for example Leipzig are better than Dortmund about that anyway. Haaland's departure has really affected the team in a bad way. But Dortmund don't seem to be caring about that much now. Because their priority is to look for how much profit they can make in their transfers.

This makes me disappointed about them as well. Because I miss the times Dortmund were caring about the Bundesliga title very much. Since they started to change their vision Bayern Munich have been so comfortable about becoming champions every season.

What I sometimes think is that Dortmund wants to capitalize as much as possible to change its project and not be the team that always comes close to the first places but rather wants to become the monarch of the Bundesliga, for now Bayern have a very good team, they are one of the best and apart from that they will win the Bundaesliga with ease, that is something that we cannot doubt, no team has considered it as it is or at least it is not up to par, but it will almost be in another stage , because at Bayern some players can leave, the transfer window will be moving at a high level and it is possible that Dortumnd have a very good plan prepared.

Well, all this Dortmund stuff generates the following:

26-year-old set to snub free Leeds United transfer in favour of Borussia Dortmund

Eintracht Frankfurt and Japan star Daichi Kamada looks set to join Borussia Dortmund on a free transfer in the summer as his contract runs down.

Leeds United are in need of a fast start to the January window if they want to sign the players needed to bolster Jesse Marsch’s squad.

It’s not hard to find players that the club are being linked to on a daily basis, especially with the World Cup providing Victor Orta with a better view of certain targets.

Some Japanese players are quite valued so far, it is expected that they can be valued much more after the great performance they gave in the World Cup in Qatar.

EintrachtFrankfurt is doing very well in Europe, but it does not want to succeed in the competition yet. seems to be a matter of time though. If you can win the Eruopa Leagie, and progress to the group stage of the Champions League, you should also be able to easily finish among the top 5 teams in the competition. There are a few teams that have better players based on individual quality, but last year Frankfurt proved to be a close-knit team that was very difficult to beat. All teams play for a maximum of 2nd place, Bayern Munich is from another planet in this competition.

But reflecting on last season I feel they will still carry out the same strategy by sacrificing one of the leagues and focusing on one of them like when they didn't pay much attention to the bundesliga and winning the Europa League last season.
At the moment their opponents in the knockout phase are quite difficult to beat because Napoli's performance has been very good so far both in the domestic league and in the Champions League so I think this is good enough for Frankfurt and they have to focus more on their bundesliga this season.

Last year the circumstances were also very special in the EL. This year they are in a neat 4th place in the league, and the differences with the teams above and below are minimal. They could therefore still be 2nd in this competition. It is the club with the most self-confidence after Bayern Munich. Because how much confidence should you have if you have wintered in the Cl and that you are also the current title holder of the EL?

[emrecemsan]

I respect all the opinions about Bayern Munich's goalkeeper preference from now on. When it comes to my opinion, I think Livakovic should be signed. Bono and him both have been very impressive of course but I still think Livakovic has more talent than Bono. His being younger is another plus for Livakovic. Besides it would be easier to convince Dinamo Zagreb than Sevilla. Livakovic's current market value is only 8.5 million euros. Of course this performance will make an increase in his value.

Still Bayern Munich can sign him by not spending an enormous amount of money. I think he would be definitely worth it because I don't think Ulreich is credible enough for the Champions League.

[beerlover]

It's the time for bayern to think about a new goal keeper to replace neuer. Neuer itself is a very good goal keeper even if he was not young again but his response is still very good to block any ball that came to the his goal.
The goal keeper from croatia may become a good replacement for neuer. That's why bayern has been trying to get a new keeper for the club caused by two keepers that owned by bayern already old enough to compete in the bundesliga and champion league.

I feel like watching world cup to get a new goalkeeper is not a good idea, that is the best goalkeeper of a nation and for Bayern level of team that could be a good idea but usually goalkeepers are not the best in their nation at the age of 23 or something, they are there at 27-28 or afterwards.

This is why it is a lot better if they could end up with someone younger, so watching the bench is a lot more important. I would suggest them to get someone who is 23 years old or so, both proven something until that age already, so not too young like 17, but also not too old that he would not be good enough for too long, so 23-24 is a good range for them to look at.

[Ayers]

Maybe these two players will retire soon and enjoy their old days in peace, and for the team that is left behind they will immediately look for replacement players when next year's transfer market opens, with old age it will affect the performance of the game when on the field which might be impact on the team they have.

This should happen to every old player, because any old player will definitely be replaced by another according to the regeneration of all teams. After all, the team is unlikely to retain old players for a long time if they have better options for young players. And I don't think it will be a problem for the old players to leave the team in time and some of the stars of the past have also managed to become club coaches in recent years. Including this season as well.

But if the team still doesn't get the right replacement then at least they will still use old players but yes, it will be different if the old player is injured then the team can only accept reality and start to put faith in the players who come off the bench. Manuel Neuer himself is not only an old player at Bayern Munich but he is also the team captain and also a team legend, so it will indeed be difficult for Bayern Munich to find the right replacement for him.
However, I'm sure Bayern Munich will definitely have the right way to solve this problem, because for competition in the Bundesliga at least they will still be fine with the other goalkeepers they have.
But it seems that Bayern Munich are also just now entering another young player for the goalkeeper position, it is clear that Bayern Munich are very serious about regenerating their goalkeeper.
If they can do well for the Champions League as well then surely it will be great for Bayern Munich to get talented players from the young squad they have.

In the past, we have seen a lot of clubs giving importance to experience instead of young talent. But right now football has changed a lot. Football has become a lot more physical and fast-paced. That is why it is far better to have young and talented players in the squad instead of old and experienced players. That is a big reason why even a player like Cristiano Ronaldo is not being able to get the team that he wants right now.

So, if Cristiano Ronaldo is going through that phase, I think from now on every older player should be ready for that. I don’t think this is a problem for these older players because there is always an option for MLS.

Because how much confidence should you have if you have wintered in the Cl and that you are also the current title holder of the EL?

For the second position in the Bundesliga it is still very possible for Frankfurt in terms of getting it. But for the Champions League, I see Frankfurt getting a very tough opponent this season, namely Napoli who have never lost this season in Serie A. So Frankfurt has a very tough task this season, especially in the Champions League because Frankfurt needs to really focused and consistent in order to beat Napoli in the Champions League this season.

bono is a suitable candidate to be at bayern, even in 2020/21 he is the best goalkeeper in la liga. but the other news is that not only is Bono wanted by bayern, but they are also after livakovic. I think Bayern are too ambitious to strengthen their defense. Will Bayern be able to get these two best goalkeepers?

[Xxmodded]

Age is no longer on the side of Manuel Neuer and the more he stays as the number one choice the more his fitness and good performance will begin to deteriorate so I think allowing him to stay 4 to 5 years as the number one goalkeeper may affect the team, especially if he begins to concede unnecessary goals as a result of poor goalkeeping.

Goal keeper seems not important about their age and I don't think Manuel Neuer will loss his regular position with Bayern Munich in this season, actually he has serious injured and absent almost second half season left but this not first serious injured got by Manuel Neuer. Last several season got serious injured and absent almost half season with Bayern Munich but he can return back with regular position.

No matter with Manuel Neuer have been 36 years old because he has potential about two until three years later become regular goal keeper position with Bayern Munich. I think after he back from injured he still has consistency performance and keep as modern goals keeper not only have defensive but include in attacking counter time.

There are several names of goalkeepers currently pocketed by Bayern Munich. The goalkeeper of Morocco and Croatia is one of the names on their radar. I think whoever they sign later are both good goalkeepers given their performances at the Qatar World Cup. But I don't think that they will bring in the 2 players they are after, I think one of them will join and the other one will have to be eliminated in the end, whatever the reason is. Bayern Muncih's seriousness has been very visible since the injury to their goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer.

So Frankfurt has a very tough task this season, especially in the Champions League because Frankfurt needs to really focused and consistent in order to beat Napoli in the Champions League this season.

Maybe if Frankfurt is consistent, they can finish in 2nd place. but even that will never be easy I think, Frankfurt has quite tough matches after the Bundesliga was rolled out again. Frankfurt has a game against Freiburg, and a game against Bayern Munich and there are still tough games for them. or maybe, Frankfurt slipped and struggled to maintain their ranking until the end of this season.

Especially when we talk about the Champions League. although Frankfurt has the advantage of playing as the host in the first leg. however, that to conquer Napoli will be tough for them. and we know very well, that Napoli is in an On Fire position with no defeats in their domestic league. I really doubt that Frankfurt can beat Napoli in the first leg.

I think after he back from injured he still has consistency performance and keep as modern goals keeper not only have defensive but include in attacking counter time.

It is difficult to make predictions as different players have different abilities to recover from injuries and extended absences. Plus, there is the age factor. If the new goalkeeper of Bayern will show a top game (which Neuer no longer shows - sad but true) it will be difficult for him to return to the place of the main goalkeeper. Plus, we don't know how motivated Neuer will be to return, as he will now be taking a long vacation to spend with his family. At 36, with a ton of titles and accomplishments, Neuer might be thinking that a comeback isn't exactly what he needs.

So Frankfurt has a very tough task this season, especially in the Champions League because Frankfurt needs to really focused and consistent in order to beat Napoli in the Champions League this season.

I can't think that Frankfurt will be able to go far in the Champions League because as you said their opponents in the Champions League are a very extraordinary team. Even if they can beat Napoli in this round, their next opponent will be a team that is far stronger for sure. Although it is possible that they will give a surprise, but with the existing reality it will be very difficult for them to do so.

[Distraction]

I think Frankfurt have already reached the best round they can in the Champions League. I don't see them eliminating Napoli in last 16 round. Napoli are an extraordinary team this season. They have had an amazing run not only in the Serie A but also in the Champions League. I still can't forget their huge win over Liverpool in the group stage. Napoli are way stronger than Frankfurt at the moment. I must admit that I have been impressed by the work Frankfurt have done so far. But it looks like this is the end of the road in the Champions League.

This means that they can focus on the Bundesliga matches much more. They will need to do so if they want to maintain their presence in top 4. There are really fierce teams fighting for the same goal. Even Dortmund are out of top 4 for now. Frankfurt will need to keep a consistent form as a result.

If Bayern Munich can do everything possible to bring in livakovic after the FIFA world cup competition, I guess it will really help the team to improve well because they are lacking in the aspect of goalkeeper which it will help them to improve positively in this season. I believe this livakovic will display some skills that will make their fans to believe that he is more preferable in all games and he will make their performance increase higher to make their fans happy
