Julian Brandt for Dortmund looks top class, similar to Fernandes at Man Utd.

Brandt always looked top class, especially when Germany won the world cup in Brazil. I don't understand why Loew gives him so little time.

Hat trick for Werner and he could have had six!.....a bit like Mo Salah. Misses a fair few but is prolific.

Big game Tuesday, Dortmund vs. Bayern.

[Logosone]

Lovely goal by Kimmich, world class.

 

Also Mueller is in absolute top form for some reason.

Was a beautiful chip.. Keeper should've kept it out though.

 

PPTV HD36 and Fox Sports1 are showing RB Leipzig v Hertha at 23:30 tonight. Dunno about PPTV but Fox have been using taped 'crowd noise' which adds atmosphere.

[Logosone]

Yes, he had fingers on it, odd for Buerki to be shown up like this.

 

Thanks for the Leipzig reminder.

Might watch that one myself to see if the Havertz hype is legit as I've not seen too much of him up to now.

Another goal for Havertz last night. And after all the fussing over here about wanting to play at home....another away win! Leverkusen beating Freiburg 1-0.

 

Bayern is the late game tonight. The earlier ones don't look great but PPTV HD36 will be showing Schalke 04 v Werder Bremen....... BVB and Gladbach play (not each other) tomorrow and Leipzig are at silly o'clock Monday night.

Up the Levers. Watched it last night. Getting a bit more used to the silence in games but still don't like it

Fox had crowd noise last weekend and it is a lot better than without. Didn't use it in midweek strangely.  Aussie RL are using it as well. Hopefully it will be more commonly used when Premier League starts

[garygooner]

It's Saturday. 

Soon we'll have more choices. 

For now, will be watching Schalke later. Nice stadium. Hoping for a few goals.

Mainz 05 for me as the LFC loanee (Awoniyi) is starting at last. Not the finished article but has livened up their attack when coming on as a sub.

Silence is golden.  I'm used to watching the premier league on mute as can't stand most of the commentators/pundits.  I do have commentary on the Bundesliga in order to get some background on what I'm watching.  At least the BT Sport commentators have just about managed now to stop continually mentioning how strange it all is.

33 Games played since the re-start: Out of these, 16 were away wins, and just 7 were home wins! Home advantage certainly seems to have been nullified by the lack of crowds!

[garygooner]

Could only watch the first half. Bremen were OK, but boy were Schalke poor. 

Will be watching Gladbach this evening.

Both games could have a lot of goals but will maybe be a bit one-sided. Might even watch the B2 game earlier if Stuttgart play our loanee Phillips. (the Bolton kid Champers)????

Thuram worth watching on his own. Very quick and skillful for someone that big. He is a beast!

 

For BVB, Sancho gets his first start. Brandt, Hazard and Emre Can also start. Haland out injured.

 

[jellydog]

Sancho kicking *** and taking names.

[wilai]

Leverkusen home to Bayern is the biggie today. We can see how Havertz gets on against the big boys! Will be on PPTY HD36 and Fox Sports 1 over here.......For Chelsea fans, your new boy? Werner and his Leipzig  mates will be up against Paderborn so he should get a few as they are rubbish! That game should be Fox Sports 2. Both matches kick off at 20:30 Thai time.

 

Late game this evening on Fox is BVB v Hertha Berlin. On Fox at 23:30.

Looking forward to watching Bayern for the first time for a while and keeping an eye on their star players. (Bayern's games usually too late) 

Will be cheering Leverkusen though. 

Should be a decent game with goals.

Havertz out injured. Not the best of news for your lads!

But Lucas Alario starts for the Levers. An intelligent striker from Argentina who has been capped a few times.

[jellydog]

Levers' keeper having a horror show.

To be fair a defence would probably help! I thought social distancing was 2 metres.....not 20!

[jellydog]

1-4. Easier to throw in the towel without the home crowd noise?

Missed hals of it s switched to the 2,000 guineas!

 

BVB v Hertha next. A chance to watch the lesser spotted Grujic....JK's first buy for LFC but been on loan for a few years, Is useful and can get the odd goal but more likely a yellow

[wilai]

PPTV HD36 have Union Berlin v Schalke 04 as their game tonight. 20:30 K/O.

[garygooner]

Leverkusen vs Bayern was a decent game. Bayern are a very good side. So many threats. 

Like the atmosphere in the stadium but could do with some breaks tbh. Over and over again. Wouldn't want the same for the Premier league from minute one to ninety.

Think it might depend on which channel you watch it on. Some will give choices over level of crowd noise. Think the UK channels  will be using FIFA 20 as background.

Last weekend of Bundesliga action before EPL gets underway......PPTV HD36 are showing two games tonight:

 

20:30....Fortuna Dusseldorf v Borussia Dortmund

23:30....Bayern Munich v Borussia M'Gladbach
