so in what parallel universe does momo resemble a static defensive midfielder ? poulsen would really be more that type of player that knows his position and holds it. momo would be everywhere but not on his position.

the rest fits the bill, even if i would like to see gio as özil
Baumann's role was underestimated, he may not have had Momo's offensive approach but fulfilled definitely the role of being the starting point of attacking moves. Naturally, no comparison like this will be 100% accurate though.

my main point of argument was, that i see bauman as a way more static (position holding) defensive midfielder, while momo is just roaming anywhere he likes to, but so not really defending the back for as well, but putting "early" pressure on the opponent in their buildup play

OK, fine with me. I focussed more on the other three postions...:)

The problem with Diego is this:
Bremens team and tactic was only focused on him and only on him.
Every player had to work for Diego, give him the ball, cover his back, and so on.
The ranking was:
Diego
Team​

That's one reason why Bremen is better these days. They are no-longer dependent on him. They have Özil, Marin and Hunt who can do his work without having the whole team only focusing on them. Actually they became a TEAM.
They are way more flexible and consistent these days.

And now when no one carries his ass you can see what he's really made of.

he can shove up his football boots straight up his asshole, they clearly are no good for standing upright, passing the ball or shooting a football

its not all Diego's fault, he plays so deep that the time he's near the goal, he's lost all his energy and the other team are already set up, new coach new Diego
