Comments on: This Day in Football History http://bundesliga.theoffside.com/teams/this-day-in-football-history-2.html News from The German Bundesliga Tue, 24 Nov 2009 11:57:57 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Luke http://bundesliga.theoffside.com/teams/this-day-in-football-history-2.html#comment-4979 Luke Wed, 12 Mar 2008 15:35:34 +0000 http://bundesliga.theoffside.com/teams/this-day-in-football-history-2.html#comment-4979 I maintain that Bayern is simply a bad fit for him--because he will always get most of his goals in counter-attack situations, that is his game. So, when playing at Bayern, and watching many opponents drop all 11 into their own half to try to come out with a 1 point "victory", he's at a distinct disadvantage. Of course, playing time is an issue now, but it definitely wasn't after Hitzfeld came in last season, and he didn't score much even then. The paradox is, he becomes more valuable in the big competitions where clubs don't show this sort of passive deference to Bayern. He probably stands to benefit the most from the regime change at the club.

What a sad anniversary.' Sigh. :( How he was one of those I had always look forward to see on the TV back then when the World Cup happened (as that was the first time I knew of him) and now... ‘It was the last time Lukas Podolski scored a goal in the Bundesliga.
