Squad

Mitchell Weiser falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Olivier Deman

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

A bad afternoon for Werder Bremen against Eintracht Frankfurt

0‑1 to Eintracht Frankfurt, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Victor Boniface in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Werder Bremen this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Niklas Stark wants more than Werder Bremen are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Squad

Words at Werder Bremen training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mitchell Weiser is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match

Werder Bremen see off Köln

Three points for Werder Bremen, 2‑0 the final word against Köln in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings

João Klauss was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.19. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad

Nicolas Höfler dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Squad

João Klauss is off the mark for Werder Bremen

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.
