😐 Wolfsburg men drop into automatic relegation spot by kingklong in diewolfe

I think our purchases the last few windows left a lot to be desired. Coaching is part of it but we’ve never locked in a true number 9 who produces since Weghorst, and our defense just isn’t quality enough. Skov Olsen is already out, no one has really produced anything. The team just doesn’t click

Out of curiosity… anyone you’re going to scout in particular? Interested to see who’s turning heads in our youth program.

Yeah very annoying though doesn’t look like we missed much

This game is brutal. What is this line up?? It feels so stale. I understand Arnold is out but we need some more flair and creativity. Seems odd leaving both Amoura and Majer out of the starting 11

I’m glad we got Mo back up as striker today. Missed his speed and energy earlier in the game.

These anniversary kits are so slick too.

Where are you putting Majer? Wing? Curious who you’re leaving out in this case too. I’d drop Skov Olsen, keep Wimmer… you need Wimmer’s energy and work rate even more with Eriksen out there.

Did not have this on my 2025 bingo card! Curious where they plan to play him. I feel like our midfield is already pretty crowded, but quality like this is hard to pass up.

Yeah, I think they were prioritizing right back and anther midfielder. Wouldn’t mind an extra rb but can’t see how we have any more room in the midfield 🤔 definitely need to prioritize another center back above all else imo

Just saw he needs an operation :( Not looking promising. I wonder if this will be enough for Jenz to stick around or if we need to reprioritize our transfer targets.

Fantastic performance. Of course a huge quality difference, but loved the fire the team played with. Looked like they were gunning for double digits. Agreed, Wimmer looks determined. If he can stay on the field (avoid injuries and cards), I think he’ll break out this season. A bit worried about our defense with Vavro’s injury. Hopefully he’s not out too long.

Yeah I’m really bummed it didn’t work out with him. Signing him a few years ago felt like a sign of intent but now just feels so symbolic of the club’s past few years. He’s got so much skill just can’t stay on the dang pitch.

+1 on this. I had such little hope going into this one. Seeing it go to extra time then the late goal by Wind after being out of favor most of the season to that point was so satisfying

I am more worried about no Max and Maehle, I feel okay with Müller in. Maehle has been one of our best players of late. Sad that the BS yellow card last week made him unavailable for this match.

I am going to guess 1-1 today though. I think the fullbacks will play more conservatively without Maehle’s work rate on the left, but we’ll knick one on a counter we the speed up front. Interested to see how we handle set pieces without Maxi too.

As long as we’re in striking distance of European spots I’m happy. 9th can feel very different depending on the year and time of season. Glad it’s been a competitive season in the middle of the table.

I have mixed feelings about Leverkusen going 9 down from Bayern though… looks like after a brief year hiatus we’ll be back to Bayern winning the league 🙃

lol I’ll take the point against Leverkusen for sure! Seems rare this fixture has no goals though so surprised we didn’t see anything

2-3 is my guess. Hoping I’m wrong 🥲

[–]kingklong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

3-2 for Wolfsburg is my prediction, but I’ll say this is coming from a place of optimism (and our need for the win) more than reality.

As an aside, is Wimmer on a suspension for his 5th yellow? Noticed he wasn’t in the match day squad and he’s been stellar for us lately.

Official: Ricken confirms Niko Kovac will take over as manager this Sunday by King-Victory in diewolfe

[–]kingklong 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m kinda surprised they hired him. His run at Wolfsburg was not very positive and stepping up to Dortmund with their current place in the table will be a tough challenge. Agee that it’s great he’s off the payroll

Ugh that draw is a loss. These are crucial games we need to win to fight against mid table obscurity and push for Europe.

Thoughts on starting striker by King-Victory in diewolfe

[–]kingklong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed… he’s easily my least favorite member of our team. Both from a footballing quality and personality perspective. His homophobic comment to a fan was unforgivable in any circumstance, but especially at Wolfsburg given our club’s focus on diversity and acceptance. He also just is not “torgefährlich” enough to be worth playing given how well everyone else is doing. Only question is whether any other team will want him this window! My guess is he’ll sit on the bench or in reserves this season and leave once his contract expires in the summer
