Soccer - Werder coach Werner misses consistency on the road
Werder Bremen simply can't win away from home anymore. The 2:2 (1:1) draw at Borussia Mönchengladbach on Friday evening gave Werder their second away point of the season. However, coach Ole Werner's team have now gone ten games without a three-point haul away from home this season.
"What's missing is that we're just as consistent away from home as we are at home," complained Werner, who was nevertheless very satisfied with his team's performance - unlike midfielder Mitchell Weiser. "We can be happy to have got a point at all," the 29-year-old grumbled.
Both of Werder's goals, scored by Rafael Borré (7th minute) and Marvin Duksch (76th), came after serious positioning errors in the Gladbach defense. After a brace from Gladbach's shooting star Rocco Reitz (45th/49th), Borussia were much closer to victory at one stage. "We allowed ourselves a phase that was immediately punished," said Weiser. "We gave that away too easily." At least Marvin Ducksch set a Werder record, according to statistics service provider Opta. The international scored ten away goals this year - a feat previously only achieved by Rudi Völler (1983 and 1985).
