""I feel like we needed that today. Recently, we've not managed to dominate in the way we want to for the entire game. It's a massively important part of the season," he said. "We're a new team that's still coming together and people still forget that. We're forming new partnerships every week, with different formations, different positions against different teams.""
""So it's never easy. Credit to the boys when they're not playing week in, week out. They'll come in and do a great job, like Ernest. He's a true professional and you can see that from his performances, he's always ready.""
Leverkusen beat St. Pauli 4-0 at the BayArena with goals from Jarell Quansah, Patrick Schick, Edmond Tapsoba and Ernest Poku. The victory extended Leverkusen's unbeaten run to six matches across competitions (five wins, one draw) and strengthened their top-four Bundesliga bid. The club has experienced major turnover this season with 18 arrivals and 20 departures, including Florian Wirtz's £130m sale to Liverpool and a brief Erik ten Hag spell after Xabi Alonso's exit. The squad is still forming partnerships, adapting to different formations and positions, and needs time to build cohesion. Ernest Poku has 11 goal involvements (five goals, six assists).
