Malik Tillman made his debut for Bayern Munich II today.

Tyler Adams on bench again today.

Kind of alarming that he lost his spot in the XI out of nowhere.

Is it? He's only played about 10 games over the last year, and 5 of those have been in the last month.

Because of injury.

Yeah, and he's pretty rusty.

There’s going to be more rotation than usual. I’m not going to get worked up if Adams or Pulisic don’t start every game, as long as they are part of the rotation. I can see both of them being starters or first/second off the bench in a fixture list requiring frequent rotation and that’s ok with me.

Jalen Hawkins made the bench for Ingolstadt for the first time today. He has 7 goals, 3 assists in 18 games for their U19 team this season.

I think he drew a penalty and had two shots that were saved but a teammate scored off the rebound. But he does need to start doing better.

Adams starts every other match for Leipzig. That is a fact not just an opinion. He also comes off the bench and plays around 30 min when he doesn't start. He's doing fine.

Reyna looks fantastic by the way. Not mentioned yet today. Came off the bench and his creative and driving play will earn him some starts soon, hopefully this year. Also it's exciting to see the budding relationship between he and haaland, if only they could stay together for a few years, I think they could be something special.

Sargent looks good as well, just the end product isn't there yet. Hopefully this will start to happen soon. He's still young, but there is only so long you can say that optimistic point of view.

Hoping McKennie plays in more an attacking role for Schalke tomorrow. He'll go 90 for sure since he missed the last match due to yellow card accumulation.

He doesn’t have the pure speed Pulisic does but he has grown man size and still seems to just glide past defenders. He draws an opposition yellow card within five minutes of coming on every time I see him play

Yep. He uses his body really well, and invites defenders into him, and just drops his shoulder and slips passed them. Leaving the defender having to commit those blatant fouls.

It is unfortunate he picked up that minor injury right before the return game, because Guerreiro & Hazard have both played really well since the restart, and it’s hard to argue with favre going with them.

Would be nice if he could snag his first bundesliga goal before the season finishes though.

Richards scored his 4th goal of the season for BM II.
