Hoffenheim - Game number 1 on 15:35 - Jul 21 with 5892 views | Hunterhoop | Where the hell is the width there? Freeman and Eze either side of Smith? Be good to know how it looks as a shape and how we play. Worried it’ll be very narrow. | | | |
Hoffenheim - Game number 1 on 15:48 - Jul 21 with 5813 views | aston_hoop | Does feel very narrow and it seems little Smyth isn't involved again. Ultimately I would love to see a team with little Smyth on one side and BOS on the other but I don't think thats quite ready to happen. Either that, or Steve Mac sees that as plan B | |

Very calm. Just asking a qn and posting by a concern. That’s why I asked for a report and am keen to know how it plays. If you’ve read anything i’ve posted on the topic you'll know i’m in favour of the McClaren move and hugely supportive of the club, its approach, and its direction. I just have an issue with us setting up narrow when both Smith and Sylla thrive off crosses, and we have wingers in the squad. [Post edited 21 Jul 2018 16:08]

Hoffenheim - Game number 1 on 16:51 - Jul 21 with 5321 views | joolsyp | 1-0 Hoff h/t. Disappointing start but grew into the game nicely. Eze showing some sublime touches, working well with Kakay on the right. Freeman disappointing for me on the left. Very open at the back and down the middle, Hoff should have had 3 at least but we had one or two good chances. Cousins working hard in midfield. Good test as Hoffenheim press and close down very quickly indeed but also have pace up front. I think McLaren will be pretty happy apart from the first 10 mins when we looked all over the place. | | | |

Freeman and Eze are two of our better crosses so these free roles give them the chance to adopt those positions. The system relies on full-backs getting crosses in too, which is the flaw for us IMO. | | | |

Our rightback has put in some lovely crosses but no one there to put them in! | |

Hoffenheim - Game number 1 on 17:55 - Jul 21 with 4532 views | johnhoop | Is this the same Hoffenheim who finished third in the Bundesliga last season because if so it sounds like a pretty good result? | | | |
Hoffenheim - Game number 1 on 18:00 - Jul 21 with 4472 views | derbyhoop | Good comeback and a good result against a side that will be playing Champions League. Shows a good attitude, which will stand us in good stead. | |

Yet the PA announcer said Osman Kakay scored it !!! It's just stopped raining thankfully. The good news is there's a jazz festival back in Stuttgart tonight . Nice !!! | | | |

Hoffenheim - Game number 1 on 21:19 - Jul 21 with 3530 views | daveB | I wouldn't expect McClaren to start with 2 wingers, imagine it will be similar to how we ended last season which was still with full backs providing the width and 2 wide players given licence to come inside (fnarr fnarr) | | | |

Hoffenheim changed the complete 11 on about 75 mins we made 3 changes I think. Eze was the best player on the pitch and must've been fouled a dozen times. [Post edited 21 Jul 2018 23:06]

Hoffenheim - Game number 1 on 23:10 - Jul 21 with 3093 views | enfieldargh | watched on stream Hoffenheim 3rd in BL last season. They lost their top scorer again but keep unearthing gems. 1. Ingram distribution needs to be better but I didnt feel nervous with him in goal 2. Bidwell looks well up for it this season 3. Kakay very nervous start but grew into the game and really impressed 4.Jordan Cousins best I've ever seen him play 5. BFG Solid I think his distribution is rusty ...I hope. Strong powerful 6. Lynch as above but with the rust 7. Scowen ratted about 8 Luongo. a few goods runs but quiet 9 Freeman menace down the left for much of the game combines well with Bids 10 Eze....sublime but got kicked to pieces. They coudnlt cope with him when he was on the ball so reverted to hacking him down 11 Smith did OK Wash for Smith......same old BOS he sparked out comeback Manning this boy is going to be one hell of a player Poor start but we grew into the game. They bossed it really but we looked good in parts. at 2-0 it looked like we had nothing left. On the hour they made 10 subs and we got back into the game. Horrendous weather conditions but I thought we looked like a unit. need to stop giving the ball away cheaply especially from the back | |

Hoffenheim - Game number 1 on 00:20 - Jul 22 with 2908 views | UPPERLOFTNZ | Interesting to see the BFG was captain too - did lots of shouting and was already looking good in the role I reckon. He could be a great buy | |
