I only watched the first half of this game. And what can I say is that Bayern outplayed Bremen. They should have atleast made it 3-0 in the first half.

Werder was lucky to win this point but they really fought for it in the 2nd half.
Jurgen Rober has quit Borussia Dortmund after only eight games in charge.
The 53-year-old took charge of Dortmund in December after Bert van Marwijk quit the club.
However, Rober has been unable to transform the club's fortunes and after six defeats in their last seven games he has decided to step down.
Saturday's defeat to Bochum, which left Dortmund just one point above the drop zone, was the last straw for Rober.
"In this difficult situation it's not about individuals but simply and only about the future of the club," Rober told the club's official website. "Therefore I offered my resignation."

a shame wats happening to this club.I hope they recover soon, they have a good squad but wats happening is just strange.
Thomas Doll is linked with vacant spot and Felix Magath

Doll To Replace Rober As Dortmund Manager Thomas Doll is set to become the new manager at Borussia Dortmund.
Jurgen Rober resigned his post as head coach of Dortmund on Monday, a day after the team lost 2-0 to rivals Bochum. That result made it six losses in the last seven matches for the 1997 Champions League winners, and slipped the club into 13th place.
Rober had assumed the head coaching job in December, when the club was in eighth place in the Bundesliga. BVB now, though, are in a true relegation battle as they sit just one point above the drop zone.
Doll, meantime, will sign a contract through the 2008 season. Dortmund will be Doll's second Bundesliga go-round this season. The 40-year-old was sacked on Ferbruary 1 after about 18 months on the job with Hamburger SV, whom he left in the relegation zone after qualifying the team for Europe the previous campaign with a third place league finish
-------------------------------------------------------------
he was one of the best coaches last season and this year his team just lost faith in his abilities.
lets hope he has better luck than last time

If you're a Bundesliga coach, it might be a good idea to cross your legs. These days, if you nip out for a moment to take a tinkle, chances are you'll find somebody has nicked your job by the time you've flushed. Brian A. O'Driscoll explains the reasons why in his latest Bundesliga missive. Toilet roll is optional.
Behind The Wall: The Coaching Hokey-Cokey

The Coaching Hokey-Cokey
Hamburger SV, Borussia Dortmund, and Borussia Mönchengladbach – three of German football’s biggest names. All have won European trophies and represented the Bundesliga with distinction in continental competition. All are in complete meltdown.
People sometimes wonder why Bayern Munich so dominate the German game. One of the reasons is because the Bavarians’ genetic rivals seem so incapable of even moderate bouts of stability.
While Felix Magath’s recent departure and Ottmar Hitzfeld’s re-introduction captured most headlines during the Bundesliga’s bloodiest week for coaching casualty, Gladbach and HSV were quietly dissolving their relationships with Jupp Heynckes and Thomas Doll, respectively.
The former claimed death threats had forced him out at Borussia-Park, while the latter simply found the twin obstacles of inflated expectation and on-field underachievement too much to surmount.
Modest Arminia Bielefeld were next on to the managerial merry-go-round with the highly-rated Thomas von Heesen resigning in February. Borussia Dortmund seemed a likely summer destination – but then the coaching carnival visited the Ruhr for the second time this season.
BVB had already parted with Dutchman Bert van Marwijk in December, and his replacement Jürgen Röber was always considered an interim choice. However, few would have predicted that the former Hertha BSC boss would last less than three months. Last Sunday, Röber departed the Westfalenstadion after seven defeats in eight matches plunged the 1997 European champions into a live relegation battle.
"In this difficult situation, what matters is not people, but first and foremost the future of Borussia Dortmund. Because of this, I have offered my resignation", said Röber. "After the loss in Bochum, I came to the conclusion that this team is not grasping how serious this situation is", he added by way of clarification. In truth, he was always on a hiding to nothing.
Dortmund have been grossly mismanaged since their Hitzfeld glory days. Despite drawing the biggest crowds in Europe, BVB are broke and also-rans in even the race for European qualification. And people still wonder why Bayern have it all their own way…
Röber’s replacement is Thomas Doll – the man who Hamburg jettisoned after a bad restart to the season in February. Doll was Kicker’s Man of the Year in 2005 and led HSV into the Champions’ League. By the start of 2007, he was a has-been, undermined by a crazy selling policy. Yet, such is the desperation in the Bundesliga that Doll has landed the ostensibly plum Dortmund job within a matter of weeks.
His case is one of several strange u-turns. Hitzfeld himself was unceremoniously discarded like last week’s rubbish in Munich three years ago. Now the man who sacked him, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, has re-hired him and proclaims him the "perfect coach" in the wake of a minor upturn in fortunes.
Look at new HSV coach Huub Stevens. Hertha couldn’t wait to get rid of the man who took Schalke to within seconds of their first-ever Bundesliga crown in 2001. Now he’s a hero in Hamburg for rescuing a team that was momentarily looking Zweite Liga material. Mind you, Stevens only got the post after Magath – sacked 24 hours earlier by Rummenigge – turned down the chance to move north. In, out, shake it all about.
As for von Heesen, Bielefeld have gone into free-fall since his departure and look set for the drop. They’ve rehired Ernst Middendorp, a two-time coach of the club – and its most successful.
Essentially, one man’s poison seems to be another’s meat in the scary world of Bundesliga boardrooms. At Gladbach, general-manager Peter Pander was forced out in the wake of Heynckes’s departure. Jos Luhukay has assumed coaching duties and Christian Ziege has come in to bolster the backroom side of things.
However, with Magath and von Heesen among those looking for work, what are the odds on one of them eventually ending up at Borussia-Park? When the music stops, who’s going to be the odd one out? With fear provoking panicked boardrooms into drastic action, it’s not a good time to be a coach in the Bundesliga – unless you’re an out-of-work coach in the Bundesliga. One flush, and you could be back on the throne.
