Done and dusted and joining me in the studio today to discuss this weeks hot topics we have former blood this league of player michelle day and our very own jonathan crying so lets take a look at whats coming up in the show. After a disappointing exit from europe in midweek hoffenheim were hoping for a boon this league of boost a way to hapless hamburg the hosts were praying for a better look after just one win in their last ten days and they need to find their shooting boots if they were to stop the rot. Colognes form this season has been criminal a run of twelve games without a win has put coach under immense pressure because of billy goats break their duck against visitors for live. Well hamburg are having another shocker of a season with my side losing eight matches this season a victory is needed to help drag them away from the. Readed relegation zone their opponents are in dire need of putting their disappointing exit from the Europa League this week behind them their performance this season has been considerably less consistent and the pressure to remain among the leading pack is growing lets see if they got up. Togetherness allied to a bit of elbow grease those are the qualities that hamburg hoped would bring them a second home win in a row on their hard work paid off after just six minutes. The humbert players surrounded young fit to op but it was hoffenheim kevin who got the vital touch one nil for the hosts. The visitors were ragged in the first half dominated the Second Period to bollywood was that night by the post. Then all of a bomb kept out the strike from the youngster. Nico schultz show that there was some life and hoffenheim on seventy one minutes. But it was soon good night vienna for the visitors. There was a lot of pace on philip costs just free kick but this was a horror show from keep. Gideon young still the much needed three no victory for hamburg on eighty eight minutes of first bundestag a strike for the youngster. Coach marcus still now has a little bit more breathing space at the bottom end of the table. When its time for the match day thirteen chat with my two sunday guest former bundesliga player michelle did say and bundesliga reporter Jonathan Crane and im going to start with you michelle now it was obviously a great result for hamburg but were not going to talk about that for now i want to talk about hoffenheim because earlier in the season it appeared like they were going to be there with the leading pack but theyve been quite inconsistent do you think that perhaps yulia nigels man has sort of perhaps lost his touch a little bit with the team death struggling if you see the game on the european cup at last and all everything is gone now for the moment the team looks not very good. Looks not. Not strong in a moment and they have to change he has to change something now the course no is this football is not this football what they expect from the moment its not its not working for them do you think the Second Season union man you know one win in the last seven games tells the story there. Distinctly average today against hamburg and if this is some kind of decision for novels meant to get by and drop at the end of the season then hes really going to need to improve his own performance because final be taking a look at this and thinking im not sure if this is the right guy for the job awful as he said they struggled in europe theyre out of europe no response would be looking out as well because they want some that can take them on in the champions they so its not looking good and he will need to change something when you were talking as well as mentioned by and there of course days left open finally but its getting quite interesting up at the top of the table because were seeing teams that perhaps where weve kind of got used to not seeing their shell. Are they really contenders for this years title michel its early to say but for now just three points and everything has happened so thats a good position its good for us of course because we are happy that the league is so close together and yet we will see that in the end of. The next two games are very important to see how christmas is coming and and all the coaches defocus is is there and obama nick its not easy is the point from the mall from now i mean all the things have to come to an end nine wins in a row for buying on the pine because it was going to stop at some point im glad about with the team to do and i have to say glad back played really really well yesterday even when they were to go up by and came out the my bed in the second half but they with stood the storm for most of it by and didnt really look that threatening and i think the interesting thing about this is other teams when i look at pine and think watch they are beautiful and it will give other teams hope not just go back you know other teams at the top of the table you shall because in your light six and theyll think ok if we can get some results together and keep up the pressure there will be every chance that we could catch them now we havent mentioned one team in particular that of course is dortmund they slipped up again we can say i mean they didnt lose but i mean they practically they almost lost that game. Must be incredibly worried. Yeah i mean we were talking we were talking before the game about him being under pressure meant to be foreigner up for i mean it will feel like a defeat even though it was a draw he has the same problems i mean he can only do so much for you how does tactics scrutinized and criticized but you have to then at some point rely on your players on the pitch im sorry you know when they need leaders they when that go in injury time for shower corner comes in everyones saying oh you shouldnt be conceding goals like that and this level and the mistake of obama young and he have to score the goal and he didnt and and then. And then he sent of charges coming stronger and stronger back to the game scored both short and lucky because the two games two goals at least the first goal of now though wasnt wasnt offside and a big save all right and follow in this moment so actually they are lucky certainly lucky and also worrying times will say for dortmund they dont really want to start winning games again thats for sure were going to leave it there for the moment weve got plenty more to talk about later on in the show but lets take a look first at cologne of course cologne start of the season can simply be described as a nightmare theyre still without a win and coach appears to have run out of ideas on how to turn things around for the billy goats this weekend they hosted had berlin his team were knocked out of the Europa League during the week and have been struggling to find their form in the bundesliga a win against lowy cologne could give them a much needed boost. After watching a rare win in midweek the cologne fans witnessed history in their match against heter and injury crisis mens they were putting their faith in sixteen year old defender yan oral based sec who became the second youngest player to grace the bundesliga stage. Unfortunately for the host city didnt take too long for their frailties at the back to be exposed to a database of its own hand to capitalize on some calamitous keeping now off site spillage leaving a bit of it with the tap tap ins. Cologne came close to levelling through say ricky rassi we netted the League Winner against arsenal on thursday. Before horn in part atone for his earlier era by denying a bit of it from point blank range not for pettitte to think about heading into the break but it didnt get any better after half time cloning grassi wanted a penalty for handball but they were denied by the video replay. And then had one one of their own expertly dispatched by that man it is a bitch. To nail was how it staged. The boos rang out at the final whistle more history for cologne down the worst ever start to open this league season. Well guys another defeat for cologne and im going to start with you michel incredibly worrying times for them what do they need to do to change things around. You know the problem is the team they have not been this low quality definitely definitely not last year if you remember there were so many games they would close games and modestly he finished but in this season you dont have a modester and youre have some strikers there but they dont score and it is just a big problem that the moment they dont score even if they have the biggest. So many chances they dont score and thats why they dont score but theyre also letting goals ins i mean its a problem all around no policy of the whole team is not there its a good secondary team but not a firstly and i think anyone watching will look at this thing and how on earth is going to stand in his job because you know eleven points from safety and the other team to be two points the stage in the season was eight hundred sixty munich back in one nine hundred seventy seven they were relegated if cologne dont act soon its going to be far too late i know they may want to bring some of their players back whove been injured get to the transfer window and bring in some new signings but waiting that long its not going to be enough time certainly will they really want to get there together very very quickly because were going into much day fourteen of course going to change to hamburg we mentioned them earlier but we havent actually discussed them jumping Great Results for them are things going to change there are we going to see a sort of and hamburg thats going to back well theyll be hoping they can use it as a springboard to kind of go on to move up the table back home form i mean theyve won the last two home games now so thats half the battle if you can win your home games then youre going to start pulling yourself away from danger be rubbing their hands in glee about yon feet because hes been a revelation for them and his goals that he was having this is today will come in very useful hes a new shooting star and everybodys looking at him even though we had a Christmas Party together on friday so everybodys talking about him. Goes well its time to look at the table and theres been so Much Movement at the top with leipzig back into second after their win. Braman shell can move down after their draw against dortmund to continue to move down the table too often im also dropped a bit after their defeat to hamburg and down the other end of the table cologne are still without a win and remain bottom but berlin moved up bremen are back to second from bottom while freiburg victory against mind pushes them into sixteenth.
