Comments on: It’s Comforting, In A Way http://hertha.theoffside.com/match-reports/its-comforting-in-a-way.html News from Hertha Berlin German football team Sat, 21 Nov 2009 17:16:32 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Jefferson http://hertha.theoffside.com/match-reports/its-comforting-in-a-way.html#comment-969 Jefferson Wed, 29 Apr 2009 11:24:05 +0000 http://hertha.theoffside.com/match-reports/its-comforting-in-a-way.html#comment-969 Wouldn't worry about Bayern snatching Lulu, unless we win the title? Without that on his resume, Favre would be dismissed as the poor man's Wenger (Bayern would obviously love to get the rich man's version, but that's a non-starter). I AM worried about Bayern poaching Drobs, Joe or Gojko -- but that's just what you get for being successful, I guess. Wouldn’t worry about Bayern snatching Lulu, unless we win the title?

I agree that I will be happy with a draw against HSV. I can't wait for this game! The run-in from there shouldn't be too bad. Every opponent from then on may already have their fate in the league secured when we play them so that will bode well too. Stuttgart has some tough matches left so hopefully they will slow down. How about Cottbus keeping the race alive? That was great. It's nice to have KSC last, but it will be bittersweet a bit if we are the team that sends them back down.

I'll settle for a draw, but don't discount a possible win, Hamburg aren't exactly in top form themselves. The season is going down to the wire. Thank God we have KSC as the last game!

They like him for whatever reason. And I look at it more as "efficient" in quotes. It's something that others use to describe Hertha because they can't think of anything else nice to say. Technically, it is efficient, though- one shot, one goal, three points, right? Yeah, I think it’s just Bild rumor-mongering, honestly. They like him for whatever reason.

At least if you define efficiency as being about achieving the maximum result with minimum effort. Hertha have to work way too hard for their victories. Favre's game requires a lot of running to keep players in position anyway. But if you then also have trouble keeping/dominating possession you have to run even more, because your opponent is dictating where the ball is going. But the way they play is effective for sure. I've also got to say that most shots on goal where very easy saves for Drobny. Though Drobny and von Bergen/Simunic did all the hard work with their positioning prior to the easy save. :-) Von Bergen really played well - maybe he has overcome his slump in form. About Favre to Bayern: I can't think of a team in the Bundesliga which is so dependent on its coach as Hertha. Favre leaving Hertha now would be the worst that could happen to the club. The team is still a work in progress and this work in progress is tailor-made for Favre's philosophy. I doubt that any other coach could get as much out of it as Favre. Bayern should get whichever top coach is currently on the market. That wasn’t a highly efficient game by Hertha.
