Solid, unspectacular first half. Like a relegated team in the second half. Ramos and Ambrosius are overwhelmed to the max, and Meffert hasn’t been confident for a long time either.
Königsdörffer and Jatta are absolutely not suitable for our needs. The lack of quality + the lack of form ensures that they have one bad move after another.
Van der Brempt is becoming more and more infected by the lack of quality in the rest of the defense. Dompé and Glatzel were light and shadow today, but definitely still the best together with Raab.
I congratulate Kiel and St. Pauli on their promotion.

Sorry, but what exactly are your demands if the players you mentioned no longer meet them?

The stadium is one of the most visited in the world despite being in the second division, it has the sixth most members of any club in Germany, it has one of the largest budgets in the second division and, at least that’s what the fans of other clubs say, it still has an extremely high level of appeal .
Tell me what the claim should be…
If you had seen Jatta and Königsdörffer this season, you would have saved yourself the embarrassing question.

At least you are the best proof that there is still a gap between expectations and reality for some fans.
You are 3rd and have had an almost well-coordinated team for more than a season, which has not given up any top performers and has been able to strengthen itself. Hardly any other team from the 2nd league can do that. But of course, the boys are too bad…

The thing is, sometimes they really are.
Starting eleven has to move up easily. And actually, in the 70th minute, games are already as far in the bag as Kiel is today.
HSV fights its way to victory every game. It is never really confident.
So that’s because the players are good enough, it’s up to the coach.
But when you get to the changing personnel, some of them are still good players. But in principle there have been more flops than hits since several transfer phases.
Flops aren’t necessarily due to a lack of quality, but also. Bilbija, Kaufmann, Öztunali, etc. the list goes on.

It is a symbiosis of wrong decisions made by those responsible.
Walter, who has rocked the team so far down in 2.5 years that they can only play his game and run in circles when making the smallest adjustments.
Boldt and Costa who cannot ensure the breadth of the squad. And then in the winter you can’t even sign up for an IV.
And all this despite the fact that they are actually competent. This is what makes me despair the most. I think Boldt is extremely qualified, but I can no longer understand what has been deducted since a few transfer phases.
Spend so much on transfer fees for players that don’t matter afterwards or simply don’t help. Johansson, Königsdörffer, Nemeth, etc. This list also has a few more names to offer.

I’ve been a big fan of continuity over the last few years, but slowly but surely the feeling is growing within me that it was continuity with the wrong people.
Of course, everything is still at an absurdly high level. 2x third place, 66 points etc. That’s why some people might be surprised.
It was never a complete failure. But it’s never perfect and now we’ve sort of waited our way into this situation

But the nice thing is, a new coach comes at the beginning of the week and gets the boys on track, everything I’ve written now becomes irrelevant.
