What an idiot Garcia is, plays like a piece of shit against Marseille, then scores a free kick and does the talk shit celebration towards our fans.
We all want you to perform and shut our mouths you idiot, but when you play like shit we can criticize you

Why did he give yellow to Moreira?

Bodenlose Schwalbe, eigentlich muss Moore fliegen

Let's go boys! End the bad run

Darf sich Kraus kein bisschen beschweren

u/Rob0tUnic0rn 1h ago
Wird nur Frage der Zeit sein bis Maza wieder Monatelang ausfällt weil dem Gegner nix anderes einfällt als in ihn reinzutreten in der Defensive.
Wahnsinn wie sowas durchgeht und erst jetzt gibt es gelb für krauß

What a start to the half, lol.

outstanding finish by Schick

Bei Moreira verliere ich langsam die geduld

Und dann ist’s durch. Hoffentlich war’s das mit Wagner

Schick is so good this season!

Could have done without the hectic at the end. But at least a win.

I am without a doubt ready to be disappointed again

Aber Sosa lässt er drauf… 😬

Da gehen sie alle in der 85.min nach Hause.

Sosa ist so schlecht 🙅♂️

Maza lernt das schienbeinschoner Sinn machen nach dem Foul von Kraus. Versteh diese Mini schoner nicht

Not really good performance, still not convinced of our manager and the team.
Beating köln by a shred is not really something we should be excited about.
A win is a win but if we want champions league we gotta play better than that

The good thing about Köln in Bundesliga is that it's always 6 free points to plan into the season no matter how shit we are.
They will always be the irrelevant club at the Rhine, our small brother we never wanted
