much day 14 will be remembered as a decisive point of the 201920 season it seems at the top did that thing and deliver the goods they were the only ones with smiles on their faces is what we have coming up on today show. things on the. need to win in balancing keep up with their rivals while the damage control. as they travel to break. up in a way. that top of the table real contenders. welcome to the. mechanic line joining me in the studio for a breakdown of match day 1402 members of a star studded but in this league a team welcome back to the show they phrenic and thanks very much we'll start our coverage in braman the hosts haven't exactly donald so far this season and find themselves precariously close to the bottom 3 actually thanks to they face on

sunday and they ons in the relegation zone this is a yet to win a game on the road this season would prove to be their happy hunting ground. of the blocks and quick to apply pressure on guests they couldn't reward themselves for their. hungry and had chances but. it was on hand for his side when things got dangerous. it certainly wasn't an exhibition of exquisite football sloppy fouls on the other hand 10 a penny for a long time the only ha. ha most distant shots were about all his side could. finally found its way into the net in the 90th minute initially disallowed but then given after an intervention by the video assistant michelle struck was the. one. he's padded sick. victory of the season and the

1st away from home i one from the side down 2 more to go cologne came up a 2nd division champions last season by the relegation play off you think the cologne is a season bonus thing a club with 48 top flight campaigns under their belt have a better start the season but it's quite the opposite cologne are in the bottle to establish themselves as a solid made table club with that show on the pitch in berlin. on your own berlin have transformed the study. into a reputed bull fortress picking up 12 of their 16 points at home but the travelling heart of cologne fans were optimistic they could but this trend deep in the drop zone cologne where i'm fellow promoted side known as potential for rare away points the visitors looked well on track to deliver for their fans early on cologne forcing young keeper of off the geek of it to be at his acrobatic best half an hour in. but toppling an yone on their home turf isn't easy with one of the league's

leakiest defenses a barely mark sebastian anderson barreled through colognes back line and headed union in front one nil in the 33rd minute with the game settled down in humans as fisher changed little at the half now in cruise control doubled their lead just 5 minutes after the break after a quick check anderson 2nd of the night and 8th of the season was confirmed to have crossed the line. now down a 2 nil hole marcus is doles attempt to rally his troops have little impact. colognes least stabs at goal weren't worrying anyone. it finished at 2 know a cold splash of water on the visitors survival hopes another defense of the fortress sounds you know unless worried about relegation that there's still work to do. if you take your foot off the pedal one think you're safe in the league you start to lose games so in that sense we haven't done anything yet on the exact their 4th straight home when put to

a new nintendo far away from the relegation pack for now at least. 7 years of buying domination this season the biggest thing it's not something different well we actually got it has generally been a season of surprises so far is one of them and we've been talking about them lately but when i was talking to start with is only one belin the minnows bring a smile to this man's face dave i used to dream that when you will be in the business taken x. season yeah i mean of course i am a fan myself some a bit biased here but that is why i have this wide grin across my cheeks because it really seems like it's possible now they're playing incredibly especially at home they're on a 4 match winning streak at home and they've shut their opponents out in all of those matches and where one of those opponents i think all of this is really down to is fisher their coach who has done a great job of consolidating a team that doesn't they didn't make a ton of splashy signings heading into the this league summer but he's really pulled out the best of a team where you didn't expect them to be here i certainly didn't coming into the

season to be here you mean the way they are the table which is what wins look at next. and leipzig they put away at the top and it looks like could be a neck and neck race between these 2 in the run up to the mid season break and when you want to you're just talking about top of the bottom and how close to the european place is in the rather than the relegation playoff spot and fair and considerably better than the other 2 promoted sides compatible. tom is the question the 1000000 euro question can you run last yet i mean it will last as long as their home form that they've mentioned were lost because of their games are going to be out it really has become such a difficult place to go and play and you know you saw how big teams can go there and really get intimidated and like i was saying the fact that they've kept clean sheets in so many of those those home games is of course very positive and they will pick up the old point here or there on the road as well they want to weigh in

fraud but they got one point away of course in outlook so far this season so of course they will pick up a couple of points but you know like i said of the games are at home and it could been it continues to be such a difficult place that he's been in district that when you want to base them for big teams to come and play then yeah i think they'll be fine. so you know we find out about that other to the other to politicize means possible and got their 1st away win today and braman what do you think is going to happen this is the dawn of a new revival for possible in what cologne i mean cologne i think looked pretty miserable and today was one of those days where they'd have to get a result there dead last they lost here and you know one who seemed like if they're going to be able to pick up points anytime soon it would be against a team like on your own and losing to you know only having 8 points having by far the worst attack in the league they don't look like they're ever going to score and their defense also looks fairly atrocious they recently changed coaches and that didn't even give them a bump they have one point since marcus still joined up in the middle of november

so it's hard to really see too much to be hopeful about for cologne on a final wasn't out of well maybe i mean part of the and there were massive points of course for paddleboard today and i think this might be the 1st time since the season really started to get going that they've come off the very bottom plays and you know you said the biggest season has been interesting so far it's of course like you mentioned the team that came up through the relegation play off when you're on the way up intent and seem very. comfortable and the sides that water must be promoted. and good to the bottom of the table quite a lot to marvel at so far this season we're talking about the bottom let's move to the opposite side of the table you know the great thing about this year is that the business league needed something new we're not in a bind anymore but they do have their work cut out for them and of course blistering form leipzig they look pretty darn good too and this is what both the respective coaches to say their fuck this just in the old one the fact is we're up there and like i said after the game rightfully so when you turn

a game around and don't drop off when things don't work out as expected that's a sign of quality but what we also saw is what we're missing the conviction with and the determination against a really strong opponent in the 1st half on and big no one through 36 points before a ban is not bad because it's the best team in the business leon i think they will come back strong as we all know bam bam unix or. they have a need and you need not wary of by making a comeback to as you need to be told by a 7 points back how bad is the need to be fit for them to be to fall back well a bit worse than it currently is basically beyond the 7 points on too much to came to come back from they came back of course from 9 points behind the league leaders at the time last season bruce your dortmund but the thing i think presents by and with a bit more of a problem this time around is that there are a few more teams in between so when by and we're 9 points behind dortmund i think

they would just like to see and one of the side in between them now friedberger up that they've been doing really well leyva cues and of course to bruce you dortmunder that drive back or above them shot because you know knocking around in the upper reaches of the table so unfortunately for blind at the moment as they underperform a lot of other teams are really over performing and it means that it's not going to be just a 2 horse race between by and. there's also a lot of other serious competition is going to get by a little because if they want to pull everything to china change their fortunes what's it going to be mean they've made they've they're like to get me to coach their 4 wins but that now after 2 defeats in a row it's a bit difficult they going to be going into the shopping in january will they have a new coach what they need to do to fix it yeah i mean the fact that the shine has worn off on the flick i think was going to come anyway even though he started with those 4 straight wins losing 2 in a row doesn't look great but they only really ever committed to him until the end

of the year so i think they've been kind of keeping their eye on the coach anyway it's a matter of finding someone who fits and talking about shopping in january i think is a little bit ridiculous when they spent over 100000000 euro's this offseason and i don't want any better for it they need a coach that can sort out the squad they have so by and would want to be contenders in the contenders we want to talk about now club i've been talking to months how real is their chance i mean they've earned their place at the top of the table so far the. and yesterday of course against buying was always billed as a real test it was a massive chance the buy in to narrow the gap was also a huge chance for glad back to really make a statement about how serious they are chasing the top this season and they prove themselves they went on and won i mean. i think at this late stage they've defended the lead at the top of the table for such a long time now you have to admit that they're serious contenders definitely you missed the last year and you know they did still lose to you in but like i said east berlin is a very difficult place to play think of eastern germany if that's what i mean life

seems to me that's why i ask this question they seem like the team and this might not be a thing which fans want to hear but that with the best chance to actually win the league this season yeah i mean a lot of people kind of resent them for the way they've gone around some of the kind of conventions of club structures in germany but the way they play can't really be argued with i think they have the depth in the attack and in the defense to really push in the long term i think even more so than they've got the best attack in the league they've got a bunch of really great young players and your man has proved that what he was doing at hoffenheim with more resources only gets better you see him salute you yeah and i think i think another thing that's probably helping a lot see is that they've been doing with this work and staying very close to glide back basically in the quiet as the season gets longer and as we stay around for a longer time talking about bloodbaths as serious talk to contend as the pressure will rise on them i do think they have strength in that and i do think it will it will serve them well through the season but we'd like to see just a point behind they're not under too much pressure and they're doing good work for
