What a monster BADSTUBER is

Well it's a weird match

Rangnick started it in a smart way , He didn't play his normal 4-2-3-1 But He played with a Diamond

--------Papa------
Kulgge-----Holtby
--------Raul-------
----Farfan--Huntelaar

And with their very high pace and enthusiasm at the start it was very difficult for us to implement our game ,, Schweini and Gustavo were finding it very difficult as they had to many players to press ,, And Schalke players were giving their all ( Rangnick said yesterday that the most important thing to win is the ENERGY and courage ) and The most important is that they didn't score in the first half and they were unlucky to end 0-1 down as in the second their fitness would fall heavily and that's what exactly happened and we demolished them in the second half and we were in much better physical shape and pressed them highly and they seemed very tired (they already played a tough away match on thursday) and They were really like a second division side nit able to do anything Just long balls

Classy Play in the second half really , All the players were GREAT , of course Ribery ISN'T A HUMAN

Holtby was a flop the worst player on the pitch by far

One thing to note is that we are losing a HUGE edge with Muller playing on the wing... this guy should always play in the middle...

Petersen today looked like Gomez on a bad day but at least he managed a goal

Hope Gustavo is fine

Still no goals against us

Exactly. I've said it before and I'll say it again - Müller is so much better in the center where he can view the entire pitch and act accordingly. Those who think Alaba can't handle the winger role, think again after today.

Looking at the Liveticker, it seems that Bayern was a lot more dominant than we thought (I personally thought it was a rather close game until the second goal). But we had 17 SOG compared to their 7, we had twice the passes they did, and were a lot calmer off the ball than them. Lahm was our main break-through force today, most balls touched and passes completed, really shows you how much Ribery who was MotM once more has benefited from Lahm playing behind him. Ribery had the most fast runs, which is evidence of him returning to his defense-terrorizing ways.

The highlight of the match for me was two of the Schalke fans that the camera kept zooming in on. Some huge biker looking bloke and a little old woman. It zoomed in on them at the start and they seemed happy enough - then zoomed in on them again after Bayern got the second goal - biker guy wasn't very amused and the little old woman was on her inhaler
