Yeah... this is 4th division... That's why it's essential for our 2nd team to get back to 3.Liga.... It's just too important for our youth products to be in a more competitive environment....
Anyway... Watching the highlights... I've noticed a couple of things...
1. Our GK Riedmueller is a bad keeper... I've seen him before and he gave me the same impression nonetheless.... Take the goal we conceded: He just needed to move two steps to his left to be able to catch the ball with a single jumping... yet he dives from where he was standing... that resulted to that beautiful, yet totally avoidable goal....
For a club of our class, it's a shame not to have better keepers in our youth ranks... In fact, it would be a shame for any top German club not to have a better reserve keeper...
2. Emre Can's physical attributes are unbelievable... At 17, he is already a beast!!... yet the highlights showed he needs a few more matches to hit top form... I'm guessing we'll need to loan him out to a BL team sometime soon... Question is: Why is that we have only signed a 2-year contract with such a talent? (2013)

Shame on us!
3. Our other CDM, Dombrowka (No.13 - 19y.o.) has an interesting playing style for a CDM... Something like Schweini and Kroos... I just wish we extend with him pretty soon, or we'll be regretting losing another young talent next summer (His contract is until 2012).
4. Our striker Fischer (No.9 - 21y.o.) has a great left foot... Apart from scoring that beautiful free kick, he almost scored after a run from our half minutes later...
5. However I liked our LAM Chessa (No.15 - 18y.o.)... He also has a good left foot... Question is, when will Jennings be match fit?... We need him because we need to gather point ASAP to get back to 3.Liga
