This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Lewy not being ready by wcnitz
He was adamant that he would be, but I'm guessing Carlo is the one that said no. Totally different game yesterday if he's playing, because Thomas really, really struggles as a #9. He needs to be next to Lewandowski or behind him.
Oh and to answer your questions - Hummels screwed up his ankle in practice so he's out for now, Kimmich actually played striker after subbing for the injured Lewy against Dortmund, but he's no striker. This is something that KHR is going to get a lot of stick for - constantly saying there's no need for a backup to Lewandowski when they clearly need a capable second #9.
