I can not believe it. Incredible wrong decision.
Crazy, with what arguments? Ah yes, we can do the second half of the season
I believe that the decision-makers are much closer to the point that we cannot judge whether the team is still behind him.
There are enough arguments for Terzic.
They are the best Bundesliga team in 2023. They mastered the group of death in the Champions League and even came first in the group.
Terzic also had some bad luck with personnel here. Both link players in midfield were never really fit. Sabitzer and Nmecha were often out or had no preparation. As soon as things got better, Nmecha was injured.
Haller’s health situation should also be clear to everyone, so BVB had to react in the attack center and could not bring in a flexible player in defense. This is now partly at BVB’s feet, as they were neither able to give the players the necessary break nor react to fluctuations in performance.
If in the end you have the choice between Meunier, who didn’t play badly in both games at the end but was sorted out, and an unfit Wolf, then that’s not a staffing level that can get more out of the season at the position.
A Bensebaini, also caught in the meantime, was often below expectations.
Adeyemi, Malen and Gittens were absolutely not consistent in their performances. Small injuries all the time.
Let those responsible spend some money and improve the positions with an RV and LV. Maybe swap Sancho with Malen and all players are on board in preparation, then it will look completely different again.
On the one hand, you expect continuity in the coaching position, then you stick with the coach, if things don’t go well, then it’s not right.
No matter who you bring in, things won’t look much different with the current staff.
What kind of options would there have been?
Now not Baumgart or Fischer. Then you don’t have to worry about the CL next year.
Thank you for someone taking a more differentiated look at it.
Of course you can criticize Tersic, but I find the majority of the comments here completely exaggerated and also wrong.
If these experts think they have so much insight that they can well assess what Tersic is capable of, for example tactically, and what he isn’t, then why haven’t the same people called for his resignation after missing the championship? Or did he forget it overnight?
Or are you just going for it now because it’s so easy?
As you might notice… It really annoys me that so many fans here in the forum think they just have to take a polemical stance
Well, I don’t know where you were last RR, but even back then the tenor was mostly “luckily won”, “playfully dependent on individual actions” and “Kobel saves us from worse things”, so I don’t see any difference to now.
Even if many BVB fans understandably don’t want to hear it, for me Terzic is the David Wagner of BVB. Only that he at least somehow still scores, but only somehow. And yet in both cases you still give the coach some preparation – and I think everyone knows how long Wagner stuck to it.
To stick with the comparison, I find the words of Gamerbrother (yes, YouTuber, but also a passionate Schalke fan) apt: Consistency is all well and good and I like it too, but not with the worst coach in recent years…
Terzic is currently destroying everything that BVB has built up since Klopp. Talent development? Apart from JBG, it doesn’t exist at all, and only because he is the only wing who interprets the role as required by ET. Attractive football? None.
Instead, the focus is on players who have a higher BL level, but nothing more (Lücke, Bensebaini), or who have been with better teams (Süle, Sabitzer).
Instead of adapting his squad to the player material available, ET’s idea is tried by hook or by crook. Malen, Adeyemi and Moukoko are all strikers who work best in a two-man attack? And Haller and Lücke also had their best BL seasons there? Whatever, let’s put two on the bench and the others who don’t fit in the attack on the wings. Reus, Brandt and Reyna have their strengths at 10? No matter, Brandt can also do 6/8 and Reyna is a good bench warmer…
Even though the squad is far from ideal, there is so much potential in it that it makes me sad that Terzic is unable to make players like Brandt, Moukoko or Adeyemi better by choosing a system that suits their strengths and hides its weaknesses (e.g. a 4-2-2-2), but stubbornly follows through with its 4-2-3-1 / 4-3-3. Even Bayern, who can probably be seen as THE team in Germany for these systems, regularly play differently…
And you ask about alternatives? One option would be to remove the “must speak German” criterion, then the selection would be much larger. Because with all my love, you can’t tell me that players like Reyna or JBG speak German fluently…
