Beware the Giant-Killers

By: Jamie | October 27th, 2009

Tonight, Stuttgart and Dortmund became the latest victims of a savage band of giant-killers that have been unleashed in the DFB-Pokal tournament. Bayer Leverkusen, Wolfsburg, Hamburg and Hertha Berlin have been among the victims already.

Werder Bremen will be hosting Leverkusen’s slayers, Kaiserslautern, at the Weserstadion tomorrow. The second division side upset the 2009 Pokal runners-up 2-1 in the previous round. And with the massive upsets in the Pokal so far, they’ll be looking to bring down another Bundesliga side in the Green-Whites.

The really, really awful news? Pizarro is out with a bruised ankle. Oh dear. The good news? We still have plenty of attacking threat, with both Hunt and Özil (and Naldo) in good goalscoring form. Marin is creating great chances. We also have the benefit of being the home side.

So who will start in Pizarro’s place? Looks to be either Rosenberg or Moreno. On Moreno’s last run out, I thought he looked promising. Rosenberg – well, I honestly haven’t seen much from him in the sub appearances he’s made, but I would like to see what he can do working with Marko.

Let’s please keep up the good form and defend that trophy, boys. Don’t become the next victims of the rampant giant-killers.

  You must be reading my mind, Rahul, because my next post was going to be about how much I’m enjoying watching Werder play lately! Some lovely attacking football indeed!

  Ah Nice Jamie. Bremen are the only saviours for me in footballing terms, considering the heart ache that Roma has been causing me.

  Lucky I spent that I three years in Bremen.
