This is a bit of a roundup of last week, so rewind to Wednesday if you will, and everything will make perfect sense.
I’ll never like him, I’ll never rate him, but damn. All he needs is a chance, and if he misses that, you damn sure don’t give him another! It was a night to forget, as we fell defeated twice on the trot to Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and his blue men. It really wasn’t what I had expected. Most of the game was pretty tight, which saw the middle of the park the most hotly contested area of the pitch. Schalke were by far the more dangerous on the attack however, and fashioned many a chance down the left hand side, either though Jefferson Farfan or Atsuto Uchida. It’s not secret that they would favor that side, due to the defensive weakness of the left, with the shortcomings of André Santos (stamina, tackling) and Lukas Podolski (low work rate caused by injury/fatigue)...
