[Borussin]

[TippEverton]

First full match I think I've watched werner I think, he hasn't been great

 

[longers]

crowd chanting 'LOOKMAN'

Lookman playing with actual talent around him=

 

[longers]

and yeh Werner has been poor

 

[Rook]

Lookman in the box probably wondering why there were 3 other players along with him there.

 

[mightymoyes]

that Bruma lad looks decent

Just unbelievable how poorly he was managed. RBL are going to be second in the Bundesliga and they find him good enough but Everton who won't finish better than 7th can't. Disgraceful

atmosphere in german stadiums always seem so much better than in england, not really sure how england ever got a rep for having great atmospheres, countless countries seem to have way better.

Cheaper tickets mean the actual fans can afford the tickets. Loud working class people aren't seen as being problematic whereas over here they'd prefer a Queens Club crowd that pays through the nose, sits where they're told and only makes pre-approved noises at pre-approved times. Don't want to put the tourists off.

Safe standing, different beer culture and beer allowed in the stands, cheaper tickets, fan groups, all adds to it. Leipzig aren't even that great being a newer fan base and not with the history and traditions most of the other bundesliga teams have. But yeah, it's so different.

Just seen this. Puts it better than me.

I hope this ends up being great for his development, but Ill reserve judgement until near the end of the season. The key for him is getting minutes. So far, hes a backup, which wont be good for his development, at least compared to playing most minutes. Hes got to break into the first team at RBL for this to work well or at least get extensive backup minutes combined with cup game starts.

If he stayed could have been great for his dev't with the right manager!

The cheaper tickets part of it really is a big thing. Also many German team include public transport cost in ticket price, and have good public transport links to grounds.
A few years ago it was estimated over a 1000 fans from UK went to every Borussia Dortmund home game, it actually works out cheaper for them. And one thing they always say is that the atmospheres are better and yes of course beer helps too! Schalke has a big UK fan base too that goes to every game.

Hope he comes back and doesn't look for a permanent move away.

Think he’ll get some league starts when the Europa matches for them pick up again. He’s perfect for rotation with their current wide players.

They’ll need fresh players to try and deal with Napoli
