Ivica Olić delivers payback

By: Jackson | Comments 1 Comment

Since joining Hamburger SV from CSKA Moscow, Ivica Olić has become a fan favourite notably for his tough work-ethic and timely production. In the Nord derby today he not only settled the match with a explosive goal to give Hamburg the 2-1 victory but also served up a tidy bit of payback to Tim Wiese [...]

Nord derby

By: Jackson | Comments No Comments

The 89th installment of the great Nord derby promises to be a highly explosive one within the early winter season. With Werder defensive woes, the attacking style of Martin Jol’s Hamburg promises to make this a high scoring match if the Green Whites do not pay special interest in protecting Tim Wiese.
Thomas Schaaf is [...]

Clemens Fritz and Sebastian Boenisch doubtful for Hamburg

By: Jackson | Comments No Comments

Looking forward to this Sunday’s match against Hamburg, Clemens Fritz and Sebastian Boenisch are both highly doubtful. With many players off on international duty the club went through skeleton training sessions and Fritz and Boenisch took part in re-hab sessions.
Sebastian Boenisch said of his training:
“The run went quite well for me, but I have [...]

be nice to the Austrian

By: Jackson | Comments No Comments

That was basically what the club told supporters regarding a not-so friendly Weserstadion reception Sebastian Prödl received during the FC Köln match.
Thomas Schaaf said of the situation:
“Of course it’s understandable that there is an amount of dissatisfaction and impatience considering the current situation, but I got the feeling today that a great deal of that [...]

After scoring only one goal in the previous four matches the Green Whites responded with a convincing 3-1 victory over Christoph Daum’s FC Köln. The match was evenly played and Werder was fortunate early when a penalty was awarded on Pierre Wome bringing Frank Baumann in the area. Diego went to the spot and calmly [...]

FC Köln is ready

By: Jackson | Comments No Comments

Keeping my preview very short, Christoph Daum has FC Köln playing great Footy, flying-up the table and the complete opposite of Werder, who keep finding new ways to say that there is “no crisis” as they tumble down the table. Thomas Schaaf is without Mesut Özil and although he has returned to training, Daniel Jensen [...]

you knew this was coming

By: Jackson | Comments No Comments

As I expected Mesut Özil has drawn a three-match suspension for his late sending off against VfL Bochum. Özil received a red-card with six minutes remaining in the match with a horrible stomp of Tomasz Zdebel. It was a very dangerous attack and it was needed to be dealt with a stern hand by the [...]

the slide continues

By: Jackson | Comments 2 Comments

The Green-Whites slide continued to six winless matches as they played to a 0-0 draw against VfL Bochum. This will be another in the list of disappointments for Thomas Schaaf to deal with as they had numerous chances for the winning goal, pelted Bochum goalkeeper Daniel Fernandes with shots but were unable to connect. As [...]

Torsten Frings and Claudio Pizarro available for VfL Bochum

By: Jackson | Comments No Comments

After being sliced apart mid-week by Panathinaikos in the Champions League, the Green-Whites visit VfL Bochum with tension in the air. Last weekends 5-1 victory over the Berliners is a distant memory and the club is in a nasty spot, with director Klaus Allofs calling the squad “gutless.” A constant at Werder for the last [...]

Klaus Allofs - “there was no fightback”

By: Jackson | Comments 1 Comment

Speaking through the Bundesliga website, Werder director Klaus Allofs expressed his anger at the Panathinaikos defeat at home with some very pointed words.
“Certain players have to ask themselves what’s going on inside their heads at the moment. You can’t throw away a game as easily as that. Our fans actually showed a lot of [...]
