Spieltag 12. - Ingolstadt

11/2/2012

0 Comments

 
Here we are in the first game of November and Hertha meets Ingolstadt at the Olympiastadion,  The skies are nearly all blue and the sun is shining.  It looks like it's going to be a beautiful day - fingers crossed! 

This will not be an easy match with Ingolstadt coming from two wins and being undefeated in four matches home and away.

Hertha however have also developed
some good  form recently. We're unbeaten in nine matches in the 2.Bundesliga,
six of which were wins. 

Having said this we were missing Peter Niemeyer as a result of his fifth yellow card against Braunschweig and Änis Ben-Hatira due to injury.  I think they were missed!

The team sheet on my phone is shown here -

Every point is important so we had to keep organised in this one and take any, and all chances that we make or, come our way by good fortune!

Well, that didn't go to plan did it!. We ended up with a 0:0 home draw after we got off to such a good start, we were driving forward and the defence werestarting to look solid.  I felt Fabian Lustenburger had a particularly good game. 

There were no end of shots and corners but Hertha just couldn't get it in the net, try as they may.  It appeared as if the Hertha strike force suddenly got shy when they got near the goal.  They appeared to want to pass the ball rather than shoot or even more, turn and shoot.

Perhaps this was best demonstrated by one instance where Wagner, on the edge of the box, instead of turning and running at their defence just put in one more pass and the attack collapsed.  Perhaps a confidence thing, I don't know.  Wagner was taken off in the 75th minute and replaced by Allugui but still no breakthrough.

As the second half progressed I wasn't sure what the Ref. was doing.  Had he lost his cards?  He didn't appear to see so many fouls . . . 

On the 82nd minute Peer Kluge was taken off to be replaced by Hubnik . . what was that all about??

The Ref. in his infinate wisdom added one minute of extra time even though there had been a total of six substitutions - economical to the last!

Hertha kept the tempo high and tried to attack but it was not our night.
