Heavy defeat dey threaten FSV Mainz 05 before dia match against FC Bayern Munich, according to FAZ, as di team don concede 17 goals after eight matchdays. Na one situation wey no dey among wetin dem expect before season start, especially because di same squad looked stable for di second half of last season.
Di problems no show only for one game. FSV Mainz 05 lost 2-3 to Werder Bremen, lost 0-2 to VfL Bochum for cup, and last weekend dem fall 1-4 to Elversberg. For those matches, almost no player show good form, and di performance curve keep going down. Di whole defence line looked overwhelmed, at times helpless even against a relatively modest second-division club.
Coach Urs Fischer try to fix things after di 4-3 game in Mönchengladbach. He replace new signing Fabio Gruber for di starting eleven with Danny da Costa, and move Stefan Posch from right centre-back position back to di centre, where he shine for di first half of di year. Di changes work for exactly 90 minutes, but di 1-0 win at Schalke was no true test of di team.
FSV Mainz 05 still get offensive problem since season start, and dat one dey make life harder for di defence. When players wey dey forward no contribute enough, di defenders dey face more pressure. For Elversberg, Kaishū Sano for central midfield must have felt very lonely. Nadiem Amiri, wey don dey out of form for weeks, barely show as support; he play almost only offensive role without effect.
Amiri also no dey inside Jürgen Klopp squad for Germany next national team games.
