Talk about snatching a goal from a team-mate. Think he did the right thing making sure it went in. Defender was about to get there too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Mateta of Mainz gets a red card, perhaps a lifeline for Fortuna in the last 12 minutes of normal time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 It ends as a draw, I am sure that Mainz will be the more pleased with the draw, as it ensures that they still have a 4 point cushion ahead of Fortuna in the league table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Tommy Posted March 8, 2020 Moderator Share Posted March 8, 2020 Feels like a loss again. We dominated the game, had 20ish shots on target, and Mainz score with one fucking fluke attack. Our performance was pretty good overall, but we seem to lack a real winner mentality. At least we got a point. But fuck me, football sucks sometimes.

This was a crucial game in my opinion for both sides, from Fortuna's perspective, at least they didn't lose, because that would have really put a huge gap between them and Mainz in the table. I'm a big fan of Dawid Kownacki as he has a real nose for goal, so his absence through injury is a big blow to Fortuna in my opinion. Fortuna have a very tough task ahead now, but it's not impossible, as difficult as survival may seem right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, Funkel always played him as a winger, which isn't his real position IMO. Friday against Paderborn will be crucial as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I agree, playing Kownacki out on the wing isn't his best position. He is much better in a central attacking role, where he has an eye for goal. He made the Poland World Cup squad in 2018 at 20 years old and he played in 2 of Poland's 3 games at the Russian hosted tournament. He's still a regular member of the Poland national team and regularly plays for them. That's not bad given his tender age and the number of excellent strikers that Poland have. I rate him and I think the lively striker is only going to get better. You have to win your match against Paderborn, if you don't, you can pretty much expect to be playing 2nd tier football next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to tell myself that the authorities around the world will get it under control sooner rather than later, but in truth, I have a strong feeling that this bloody virus could be with us for a long time yet.

SchalkeUK Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Normally 80 thousand plus for the big derby on Saturday - it will be weird watching it with an empty stadium - hopefully Sky de will let the game go free to air so more supporters can see it, but BVB will get used to it in Paris before that happens.

Administrator Stan Posted March 11, 2020 Author Administrator Share Posted March 11, 2020 I watched Juve vs Inter Milan with no spectators in the ground. Now watching Gladbach vs Koln in the same scenario. Guess it's something we'll have to get used to when watching games on the continent! So weird.

Part of me enjoys it as you get to hear the communication amongst the players, but I bet it's awful for the home team so not have that support behind you.
