The Neverkusen Podcast

The gang are back to take down three matches in 30 minutes by looking back at the games against K*ln, Bayern, and Frankfurt and assessing the pretty favorable results under Hannes Wolf. The new trainer has had the freedom to mix and match his team and the results have been….weirdly promising? It’s certainly the case … Continue reading

Eric, Jase and Frankie convene to discuss a lethargic and largely dull match against Hoffenheim and wonder what needs to happen in order to bring some of the joy back to Bayer Leverkusen football.

It wasn’t anything to write home about but somehow Bayer Leverkusen managed to pull off a victory at home against Schalke to stay in the running for a European spot.

Holy shit, this team is in shambles – and you can hear the disbelief and, dare we say, pain in Frankie’s, Jason’s, and Eric’s voices.

What a rollercoaster of a week for Bayer Leverkusen, and you can certainly hear the confusion and disbelief (unfassbar!) in Eric’s, Jase’s and Frankie’s voices. It gets so bad, at one point Jase combines Demirbay and Bellarabi into an entirely new player! And we still criticize him! This one comes in just under a snappy … Continue reading

“Fackin’ pish” might be the way to describe Saturday’s match, but this episode of the Neverkusen Podcast is anything but!

What started out as a week from hell turned into something quite unexpected and delightful.
