there's. there are many reasons. there are many alternatives to. make up your own mind. d.w. made for minds. the

1st half of the season is done and who is top of the table by your meaning of course. that they headed to alex borg is short of being what the germans call autumn champion. but the clock is ticking the halfway point has come a little later than usual. masks and empty stadiums explain the delay we've reached match day 17 in mid-winter nothing is like it was everything is confused but fathers can play football but only mascots are allowed to watch. the midweek games offered lots of intrigue to frame the surprise gladbach or would the poles continue their renaissance. why could dortmund score such a superb goal that laver couzin and still be left shaking their heads. would keep

up the pace and cause rb life sick problems and might city rivals hair again flattered to just see. good minds fall in love with football again against all sport. and what about the basement clash between shall and cover the last match day of the 1st half of the season now on kick off. might be the campaign these 2 teams were still not sure whether this is being a good or bad season so fall they started the game far behind by and with the champions looking shaky there was still reason to hide. it was still smiling despite a disappointing draw with minds at the weekend they had won 10 points from 15 since age into. a strong showing here was crucial for the interim coach. meanwhile was 12 matches but it still collapsed claiming just one point from 4

games this clash was a genuine 6 point level on points that kick off the winners would still be in the title race the loses were seen on their place in this helpful. don't man started like a team determined to end the 1st half of the season on a high and in hoyland pressured lucas ridden ski into an arrow that almost gifted don't mind and i know early dishonest of us had to lay the case and. then the visitors forced a chance for marco royce but the out of form captain failed to connect properly. things. looking good for dormancy but then it all went wrong a long ball from roman burkey came straight back towards his goal and most of us through to break the deadlock the. defensive weaknesses played still went overseas and they were exposed again by pace and direct play.

t.v. was an inspired form for the hosts domon simply couldn't cope with him all night he burns thomas delaney and matt somers down the right flank before almost forcing a mistake from bookie. and then he set up a great chance for lucas to laryea. but it remains one nil getting into the break. the d.m.v. show continued after half time the way no one possession here and left several don't win players for dead on the charge of. the run deserved a goal that liam brady failed to match his teammates quality with the finish. live of his ins failure to capitalize on brilliance was punished when you lay in plant holes in the equaliser. after

a dismal 1st half of the season the fans will be hoping his 1st goal of the campaign and 1st ever goal against his former club can help him find some form. of suddenly dormant were in the ascendancy. branch had a shot cleared off the line soon after. then jayden sanchez should have done better with this charles. and 2 when requested those misses even more when d.m.p. and patrick should combined on the counter before the frenchman set up florian fits for the win. a slick move capped by actually who finish from leverkusen is one of the kids this is still. just 17 years old. in response to wind brought on 16 year olds use of public ok. stephan tickets also came on to only his 3rd undismayed who are parents replacing voice.

perhaps unsurprisingly inexperienced attack fails to find an equalizer. is not necessarily a hindrance to success as much when evidence proved but lack of experience has been a problem so far this season in attack and on the touchline we have the chance to change change and turn things around we are still in all 3 competitions we have still not a lot of games so we can we can even make this difficult season a good season. difficult bodies behind them and they can get back to their stable any season full. round play perfectly but i think we have to be up there with the 1st 17 games and hold the start of the rich it's going to be good as well instead of. the $21.00 win mainstay of accusing can be optimistic but until now i'm looking over their shoulders going into the 2nd half of this most chaotic of seasons.

by a neighbor who says mrs b. was simply unstoppable the t.v. is all matched a hero just check out that main goal. player but it's not for g.o.p. race is clearly not the 1st to have these kinds of issues but i played music stores close touch her family just to meet some of her to go over to the season but it was a little bit fishy live but it was pretty soon for use of lucidity up it was never going to seduce a. they found. a piece of constantly dangerous on the fly it's a combination between ship kids. now. 7

i. spoke to. he's been standing. at the sea struck. by the 7 seas. all matched. what about over achieve this down it's. been the surprise packages of the 1st half of the season one points against 3 of the top 4 teams including almost beating champions byron. and getting the better. most recently defeated laverick whose. good results had come at home.

travelled to leipzig the other top 14 looking to show they could do it on the road to after all failed to win their last 2 games. contrast 6 games unbeaten. would be in for another special. in the 1st half it certainly looked that way the visitors were able to help constantly they wouldn't let them settle. when they did get in the box only on defense was their. coach. on frustrated. but just before the break leipzig finally found some space only for christopher and cancun to blast woefully over the bar of that was the chance but instead of going in the net the ball flew into rosie. not because man was so

annoyed he left his players to stew in the dressing room alone at halftime there's no way leipsic can catch byron playing like this. the 2nd half saw more of the same initially. although in cancun came a bit closer this time but the forwards managed to force soon young keeper andreas looked into it decent say. leipzig were at least trying to make a breakthrough and fortune favors the brave when young were finally breached a mil for spare with the goal by not pretty but leipzig won't care one nil in the 70th minute. for suspects utter joy underlined how tough a prospect to neon berlin have now become. could the berliners hit

back they had scored in every game this term. matty has birth to had a chance but this time it wasn't to be a one real loss but oneone are staying up beat. them for the seafront i think we've given him a positive impression of ourselves we're not just a team who go around kicking people sure we're uncomfortable to play against but only on a no longer seen as just rough guys we've made a giant leap forward that ensured us relationship before going to launch off to create to be a good team has been very compact everyone is ready to work for each other a lot is possible in football if you do that. the fact. that with the defeat tells you everything there is a man high and are still dreaming of european competition.

the best team in europe are again dominating the bundesliga biran have not been perfect but wanted to quickly. they were ahead early robert leavened off his penalty coming after 13 minutes it was his 22nd goal of the campaign if the ball carries on he will break. 40 goals in a season. and were in complete command in the 1st half at the break they had amassed 12 shots although they only had the one goal to show for it. the champions have made life difficult for themselves a place and did it again in. a penalty for the hosts. at the moment and alfred finn bogus and could only hit the post. byron wien again and didn't concede for the 1st time in 12 league game that meant manuel neuer equalled all the khans record of 196 clean sheets.

really. off the table. frank. frank that went ahead. almost 6 minutes. freiburg back thanks to a fine finish from. the. front. it was the 29th. it takes a sense of something to see it recalls. frank level though after it doesn't go from kevin should not having to keep tabs might not be so friendly when the race for your red hot sun. below failed against

your guy the battle of the promoted sides stood guard had shown so far only by year and had picked up more points away from home. but they found it tough going in bielefeld fabiani last giving the host the lead it kept getting after 27 minutes. it was to kneel at the start of the 2nd half and only goal from mark all the vote count unlucky or just plain silly. and laid on rich pseudo on added the 3rd goal the best when of the season for being the bell we now have a 10 point cushion on the automatic relegation places a good 1st half of the campaign. love the sights though and those happy with their season safe on cats have been in and toughened hine are among them. cats who made a good start here until christophe pilon tank mishandle.

cup in mind then cashed in the best emerging steward in the search he said maybe. fans and great crime rate she added another goal in the 68 minutes. people crowning the 3 male win with his 10th goal of the season nothing's really the case to campaign suddenly come up on. the 1st of the season was to be honest was crazy from all perspective we had. a lot of a lot of injuries a lot of. sickness. sickness. we had a lot of complications. it remains complicated for half a relegation fight scenes. when we talk about the 1st half of the season it's clear we picked up too few points to partially due to our own performances and sometimes

we gave points away too easily. now that he has overseen the worst 1st half of the season in 11 years back then had to ended up going down as the book 17. talking about the bottom side's minds have been struggling badly this season really my tito was a shining light scoring in every other game but now he's left for the premier league perhaps unsurprisingly minds look holy unthreatening at home to vote for the hungry wolves waited for their moment and trounced. the. bar toss bialek with the 1st round alexander haka unwittingly teeing up about the course for his 12th goal of the league season of sport triumph to neil in mines. just one win so far means it's the worst 1st half of a season in mind says history. just

as bad fish alka at least they think but waged by the return of club hero classy on huntelaar about the dutchman set out the key clash with cologne egypt. shall kill the city boss him with 11 languishing in 16 place a real 6.0. cologne went ahead following a set piece and push out confronting rafa call scoring on the half hour ah. it was the but he gets the goalie never 500 minutes bosh alcoa showing why they are the only win this week aside this time to concede it i'd love to go. not exactly the world's best defensive line with a lot of drive and a bit of luck american teenage him to hump a few feet on ice. time

. to want to shut his hopes. to get between shelf and cologne is now 8 points that's more than shall i have managed in the whole of the 1st half of the season. like broke but. i believe. we have to. take big points that he never. lets see how they made. on match day 17. it's been a bumpy 1st half of the season 4 o'clock their successful champions league campaign has come in contrast to disappointing bundles league of form they finished 2020

with a run of 4 games without a win but hope has been restored since the turn of the year the bulls have not 2 wins and a draw from 3 games including a victory over byron now on a wet winter night they were looking to hit the halfway point of the season on a high for a man and felix stood in their way the youngster notched a goal and an assist of secure a win over alex borg at the weekend giving side a healthy buffer above the relegation zone. they were under pressure in the early stages though he headed straight a easy pub lenka from a set piece the defender should have done better he was left out. all alone in the box. that puff lenka then had a moment of madness when he rushed miles out of his box and flattered into your neshama. the check keeper only got a yellow card for his indiscretion despite getting nowhere near the ball.

yun zama here to be and much better for. him when romano shmeat hammered a volley at his top corner black box captain pulled off a magnificent say. but then zama too had a rush of blood to the head bringing down josh sargent and leaving his goal on attended. fortunately for him got back to block shots. the germany defender ensured it remained goalless going into halftime. and in the 2nd half his partner at center but in front of them a hell of a v was once again left unmarked at a set piece this time need punished braman one nil and gladbach season was looking up. if they're to maintain this form in the 2nd half of the season they'll need

their key players to stand up and be counted by some i did just that with a fine save from the job. and so did get into when embalm raced through again of the center half showing his no nonsense. but gladbach will also need luck if they're to improve in the 2nd half of the season and they've got a stroke of fortune here. and i'm a rush it's a shot almost rebounded in off of zama him it was a moment that summed up a frustrating game for co felt. but his opposite number continues to enjoy the new year. jago and so far in 2021 we have 3 wins and a draw that has to give us momentum no question. and what can gladbach do with that momentum mr match winner he says we have to take this confidence and play strong

2nd half of the season. when leeds marco's aside just a point behind dortmund their next opponents in the bundesliga game and gladbach really would turn their poor start to the season around. the. incident but a plane no it's a flying goalkeeper and usually have blankets and take on. some i was also at it heavy for him his teammates and his blushes. he then had a huge slice of luck later on. that is permanent produced the save of the match day. spectacular with d.c. attempts to save them that. believe it will say fall for you on some unbelievable

haven't seen before a long time to deliver. is one of the best goalkeepers in the league but i think even he doesn't know how he will be grinning about that one for a while but i suppose. it's almost smile with that old sissy back in safe hands. gladbach and labor because and we're joined in securing big victories by hoffenheim and cologne who are both been struggling like fire and also kept the title race spicy with their win it was a match day of winners. losers with only one draw in 9 games. our best goal of the match day comes from don't men's union but even if his new

club still lost to his home signs. i'm saying just to get a one goal spectacular style. you know a chance gives him a little bit of solace. bush birds in films out because it's not but it's new. because it's just a muppet told her mom who can't stop scoring. he's also now joining 2nd in the bundesliga scoring challenge but who is top of the us. it's andre crameri his perfect freekick. but what they do with the team. to aim for and 1st place in all the best goals of match day 70. years the table at the halfway stage of the season fire and lead the way 4 points

ahead of leipzig and 7 ahead of labor goes and it's tied after that with dortmund only in 4th. from 0 to just guard intent can be happy with their 1st half of the season mind send shank a stay at the bottom on just 7 points no team with so few points at halfway has ever stayed. so half the season is over in this strangest of campaigns it's time to show some love to your teammates. even your opponent. someone all the referee losing is ok right is just to get a blow to the public or. when you do feeling the furrow well winning that's why we play football odd is it about winning yeah yeah yeah.

and the 2nd half of the season starts right away. so when you really need to win and got back. with his and against most book should be a good clash. and maybe shall that can win for a 2nd time against fiat good luck to all. the. blah. blah. blah blah. blah blah blah blah. blah. blah. blah blah
