Stefan Posch - Busy for draw Posch made four tackles and five interceptions during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Munich.

Impact Posch did well to shut down the Munich attack, constantly putting out fires all over the defense. He was good for his biggest defensive game of the season and yet another big showing at center-back. Posch will certainly have less to do against Hertha next time out.
