After starting the season with 7 straight league and cup wins they are now 4 without a win, including 2 straight league defeats and now sit outside the top 4.
Have just planned a surprise trip to Dusseldorf for the Mrs in December and spotted that Fortuna are at home to Dortmund whilst we are there. Unsurprising, tickets are sold out. I believe it's a bit of a local derby.
Anyone had any experience getting tickets on the day? i.e. scouts or chancing luck at ticket office?
I had a look on viagogo and tickets are around £65.00, which if i was going with pals would be fine, but forking out £130 before a beer might be a bit steep.
Why not trying the short trip to the game Moenchengladbach against Nuremberg? It's just 60 Minutes with a local train and bus.
Koln v Magdeburg is 24 hours earlier as well. It's a short journey and a nice enough city to enjoy a few hours. Big Xmas market too - I'd offer a visit there in exchange for football.
Hamburg is a great base for groundhopping (plus it's a cool city) we managed to go and see St Pauli, Wolfsburg and Hamburg in a single weekend. Germany is an amazing country and probably the best place in the world to watch football.
Been there once (2006) for a UEFA Cup match between Hertha and my home team, Odense. Although it's a big modern stadium, I think the running track spoils it. You're miles away from the action.
Bayern Munich are 4th in the league and 4 points behind Monchengladbach who are top
Exactly, that's the point.
This side should be romping the league but the football they've been playing hasn't been great, they've failed to win half their games and have been bailed out a lot by Lewandowski. They've also conceded more goals than any side in the top 10 as well.
Plus they were almost knocked out of the cup in midweek by Bochum who are 16th in the 2nd tier.

I can't see Kovac being there much longer.
Lewandowski might be 31 but this is someone who Man Utd should try and prise away from Bayern in the January window. I'm sure he won't be available but United aren't afraid to pay over the top for a player and with 23 goals in 20 games this season he's still as sharp as ever. His experience would also help all the younger players such as Rashford, Martial, Lingard, James etc etc.
Is Lookman injured? Not in the squad for their 8-0 demolition of Mainz
Has a back injury.
He wasn't playing that much even before his injury and given they've won their last two matches 6-1 and 8-0 i wouldn't expect he'll be getting in the side when he returns.

Signed a new 4 year contract in the summer so it would cost a fortune to buy him and given he's 32 next year, they won't sanction it.

Lewandowski has been desperate for Real Madrid to make a move for 2/3 years now. They keep hinting and suggesting and his form had dipped with all the speculation. This summer seemed to come to a head and Madrid/Zidane backed off. Lewandowski signed a new contract with Bayern and since then, I believe he is having the best run of goals in his career.

Kovac under huge pressure there.

Cheers in advance
**Otto, I do realise Prague is not in Germany!
The sort of result that gets a manager sacked.
Elsewhere the man they should've got (Nagelsmann) has his RB Leipzig side 7-0 up.
a couple of weeks ago there were 2 points from 1st to 9th
Monchengladbach made a little gap at the top to Dortmund now
But 3rd to 8th just a point in it
