Well, I finally was able to watch the game and I would say that, overall, they played well. Granted, they played Mainz but it was nice to see them play more effectively.
As for Salihamidzic's goal...Wow! That was a great header especially since you could hear it. When he hit the ball with his head, it was so loud that it sounded like the ball had popped. He really made sure that ball was going in the net.
As for Pizarro's....well, I know not to mess with his hair. When he scored his goal and the team gathered around him to celebrate, Van Buyten put his hand on Pizarro's head and was rubbing his hand through Pizarro's hair therefore getting it loose from his ponytail. Pizarro laughed and he tried to get away but Sagnol and Schweinsteiger were after him and they also trying to mess up his hair. It was soooo funny. Besides the fact that Pizarro doesn't want anyone to mess with his hair, that moment showed the relief on the guys faces that they finally scored more than 2 goals. It was a great moment to see.
As for Schweinsteiger...well, he should be called "The Missile" because he just fires away.
As for Makaay....there was no doubt that he was going to score. He was going for it so many times and it finally went it. He did a good job.
There really is nothing else to add because they really didn't play bad at all. Granted, the game was against Mainz but at least they showed more heart in this game compare to the others.
BTW...I heard that they have forced YouTube to remove all Bundesliga videos. Hopefully, there's a way that everyone can see the highlights of the game.
