Werder Bremen scores against Cologne: Niklas Moisander misses – Own goal!

SV Werder Bremen also drew against 1. FC Köln: it is the fourth 1-1 in a row. Players in individual review – with ratings.

Jiri Pavlenka: A somewhat unsuccessful and inconsequential short kick was his only notable scene for a long time, because there was no real evidence for him otherwise. Powerless against Moisander’s own goal. Note 3.5

Theodor Geber Selassie: As a swinging right back in possession of the ball, he was very offensive and a recipient of many diagonals, which he hit well in the middle when they hit him. I tried hard, but little came out. Note 3.5

Omar toprak (until 73): Strong as a bear in his Bundesliga debut this season after a breakdown due to injury. The central defender not only won the duels, but also kept the ball in play. Something lucky when he once lost sight of Andersson (61st). Then his forces diminished and, to avoid the risk of injury, he left the field early. Note 2.5

Niklas Moisander: Bitter afternoon for the captain, because the experienced Finn has probably not yet scored an own goal like the one who made it 0-1. Unmolested, he promoted a free-kick center in his own net. The central defender had made a big mistake in the first half. Note 5.5

Werder Bremen scores against Cologne: Niklas Moisander misses – Own goal!

Marco Friedl: Back in his preseason position, left defender. Often very consistent, but not always the winner against Liminios. Note 3.5

Maximilian Eggestein: Upon pressing, all six of them moved to the opposite half. He wanted to direct and lead the Bremen game. But he rarely got over the effort. Note 4

Christian Gross: The phenomenon! When the 31-year-old is needed, he is there, as with those who dropped out of Moisander’s studies. Very strong and alert in front of defense, but his forward game lacked rhythm. Note 3.5

Jean-Manuel Mbom (up to 73): Too surprised with his big break after just a few seconds. That fitted in with his unfortunate appearance in the center of left field. A lot of effort, but little gain, especially in the forward game. He yellowed early (31) because he had to tactically miss. Still poisonous, but it didn’t solve his funny problem. Note 4

Werder Bremen scores against 1. FC Cologne: Leonardo Bittencourt takes responsibility for penalties

Milot Rashica (up to 65) – For the first time in competitive play this season in the starting lineup. After a knee injury and a tangle of changes, at least with a lot of effort and good approaches, when he showed his speed and good dribbling. But that was rarely seen. He said goodbye with a gate that ended next to the box. Note 4

Leonardo Bittencourt: He rolled on the grass quite often, and that wasn’t just due to the hard pace of his former colleagues. A great pass for Sargent, there wasn’t much else to see from him before the break. At least he kept looking for fun solutions and then took responsibility for the hand penalty to make it 1: 1. Note 3

Josh Sargent: In Frankfurt he carried out a cold one, this time the striker showed his last weakness in front of goal. He actually had to make it 1-0, but he went over the ball (5th). There is a lot of pressure in motion, but when it is countered it is often a brake with wrong decisions. Note 5

Werder Bremen scores against 1. FC Cologne: Tahith Chong brings speed to the game after being substituted in

Yuya osako (65.): He came for Rashica and immediately saw a yellow card for a foul. A lot of movement, but the gap player did not find the dangerous spaces. Note –

Kevin Möhwald (from 73): It should give a new impetus to the midfield, which was hardly possible in this difficult match. Note –

Tahith chong (from 73): Putting the lack of speed into play, although it could not really be affirmed. But one of these actions led to handball and therefore to the penalty, which made it 1-1. Note –

Regarding the last message of November 6, 2020:

Werder Bremen: lined up against 1. FC Köln – Milot Rashica in starting lineup, Milos Veljkovic not in lineup

To update (Nov 6, 2020): Now the lineups are here: Ömer Toprak and Milot Rashica are playing from the beginning, Yuya Osako is on the bench, Milos Veljkovic is not in the team! The full starting eleven and everything else can be found on the live ticker of the match between Werder Bremen and 1. FC Köln.

Bremen – Werder Bremen want to establish themselves in the top half of the table with a win against 1. FC Köln on Friday night, and coach Florian Kohfeldt could count on two experienced forces in the eleven: Ömer Toprak and Yuya Osako. They are coming back from the starting lineup.

It’s no secret: Florian Kohfeldt considered Omar toprak as his best center back when he’s in shape. At the start of the season, the 31-year-old injured his calf again. For four weeks, Toprak has been in all the training sessions of the SV Werder Bremen and recently gave good performances as a substitute in the Bundesliga. If not against now 1. FC CologneWhen will Werder coach Kohfeldt want him? Initial training bring when he believes in his strength that way? For Toprak, Niklas Moisander would probably have to drop the triple chain. The Finn is the captain, but he can’t keep up with rivals Marco Friedl, Milos Veljkovic and Ömer Toprak in terms of performance.

With Ludwig Augustinsson Kohfeldt should not take any chances after his thigh problems and continue to rely on Jean-Manuel Mbom as a left defender in the lineup. On the other hand, Theodor Gebre Selassie is in the Starting XI establishes, as in the double six Maximilian Eggestein and Christian Groß, the phenomenon. Kevin Möhwald sits on his neck, he has to SV Werder Bremen but be patient a little longer.

Werder Bremen: This could be the starting line-up against 1. FC Köln

And up front: scorer Josh Sargent and Leonardo Bittencourt have their place in the SV Werder Bremen starting eleven against 1. FC Cologne for sure. Tahith chong On the other hand, should return to rotate on the bench after his mixed appearance against Frankfurt. After all, there is a real Cologne expert on the team: Yuya osako He not only played for FC for four years, but also scored two goals and prepared another at the end of June in the vital 6-1 in Bremen’s relegation battle against the Rhenish. Also referred Florian Kohfeldt the Japanese as the best intermediate player in the squad and sees the occupation of these intermediate spaces as very important against Colonia. If that wasn’t a wink with the fence post. . . (knee)
