First game of the season is always tough but Bremens defense doesn’t exactly seem to be quality.

Yes, our defense was already among the worst in the league after the good start last season. Not much has changed apparently. First league game against Bayern next Friday. I hope this does not start a negative spiral from the beginning.

Amazing spin control to beat the two defenders by Olmo.

Also very funny that Kane hardly got a touch in 30 minutes.

Kimmich likes to jump around everywhere in the opposing half. He needs to be 8, not 6.
They don’t have any quality 6, though.
Laimer expectedly isn’t the solution either. Another offensive minded midfielder.
They need someone like Rodri who emphasizes the defense more than making flashy passes and isn’t trying to play the leader role by kicking every corner kick outside the penalty area.

Still can't believe they sacked Nagelsmann.

They were interested in Tchouaméni but it doesn't seem to be happening. Also there are too many fair-weather players in the team in my opinion.
@Foye:
No, none of our defenders would be a starter in Mainz. They can be fine inidvidually, but it's more ike a structural problem. We had some bad defenses even in the Naldo/Mertesacker years. No matter who the coach is, no one seems to be able to get a handle on it.

We could use Ducksch and Füllkrug, though.
Our offense is not exactly looking strong at the moment.
Ajorque and Onisiwo are the only proven players available.
Weiper and Gruda are great talents but unproven so a bit risky to rely on them as the only backups as long as Burkardt is injured.
One more injury and we have little offensive options left.
When was the last time Werder actually spend money to buy a defender? Ömer Toprak? That one didn't turn out too well.

It's always a bit of a thin line. On the one hand you don't want too many players ahead of your young talents so they can get playing time. On the other hand it can be a bit risky, like you said. I haven't seen that much of Weiper, but the little I saw looked very promising.
Toprak was one of the biggest wastes of money for sure. The sad thing is that we had one the biggest talents in Germany at the center-back position in Fabio Chiarodia. But he left for Gladbach this summer. We don't have money anymore but our own home-grown talents aren't getting any chances (ironically, David Philipp, the guy who scored two goals for Viktoria Köln against us on Saturday, is from the Werder youth system).
