Late goals by Jan Šimák and Mario Gómez propelled Stuttgart to a 2-0 victory over Schalke. Coupled with this weeks miserable 2-0 loss in the UEFA Cup to Manchester City and only two victories in their last five Bundesliga matches, Schalke are on the ropes and Fred Rutten needs to right the course or the [...]

It is wasn’t so pathetic it might (I stress “it might”) be funny because Schalke put forth a shockingly bad effort as they lost to Manchester City 2-0 at Veltins-Arena. Die Königsblauen were lacking in virtually any offensive attack and both goals came off poor defending. This is particularly disconcerting as going into the match [...]

After dispatching a laughably easy PSG squad and playing a very tough Racing Santander to a 1-1 draw, Schalke can advance in the UEFA Cup with a victory against Manchester City at Veltins-Arena.
Manchester City’s star Robinho who abandoned Real Madrid, stayed home for the match with an injury along with Pablo Zabaleta, Elano and Gelson [...]

With Borussia Mönchengladbach in town, Fred Rutten knows Schalke must attack then non-stop and earn three points if they are to stay abreast the table.
Rutten said: “We’ve prepared well for the game. If they need to, Mönchengladbach are capable of working very hard for 95 minutes. One thing is clear. They aren’t coming to Schalke [...]

In one of those quotes easily taken out of context and used for a dumb headline (which I just did) Schalke manager Fred Rutten spoke of Borussia Mönchengladbach boss Hans Meyer, who he coached with FC Twente from 1996 to 1999.
“He’s a football animal. You could say he simply can’t kick the football habit. When [...]

Regardless if you are a Königsblauen fan or not, Bayer Leverkusen’s performance was hands-down impressive as they attacked when necessary and controlled the match with a defensive gem, including the final twenty-three minutes when they played a man down. It might not have been an “exciting” victory but it was tactically efficient and the type [...]

By: Porter | No Comments
So maybe that is a “slight” understatement because in-truth Bayer Leverkusen is first in the table for a good reason as no-one has been able to combine attacking influences with as good a mandate of defending. Naturally that analysis could be thrown out last week as somehow Karlsruhe played them a 3-3 draw in-which defending [...]
