Moderator Tommy Posted August 27, 2019 Moderator Posted August 27, 2019 Frankfurt's gonna give it all against Strasbourg trying to turn around a 0:1 from the first leg. They'll be verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyy tired on Sunday, I hope.

I believe that 67 hours and 30 minutes is more than enough recovery time for the Frankfurt players to be ready for the Fortuna Dusseldorf match. It's not even like the Frankfurt team need to travel anywhere, as both the Strasbourg and the Dusseldorf matches will be played at the Commerzbank Arena in Frankfurt. In my opinion, the main advantage that Dusseldorf could potentially gain from Frankfurt's midweek match, is if Frankfurt pick up some injuries to key players.

I'm not someone to wish injuries on someone, but maybe the Frankfurt players could pull a muscle or two that keeps them out for 5-6 days. Anyway, Kownacki is match ready, Ampomah returned to training. We're ready

Anyway, Kownacki is match ready, Ampomah returned to training. We're ready Well you're obviously a good sport, but I am sure you wouldn't be too distressed if for example Kostic or Hinteregger joined Rebic and Gacinovic on the injury table for the Dusseldorf match, lol. Yes, we will have to keep an eye on Kownacki and I will have a closer look at Ampomah and see what he is made of. By the way, the latest rumours suggest that Frankfurt are after Luan(he was South American Footballer of the Year in 2017!), the attacking midfielder from Gremio. He looks good and I would welcome such a player at Frankfurt. But I hope that it doesn't mean that we will sell Rebic. Frankfurt really need to show more ambition as a club, to join the top level clubs in the Bundesliga.

I know Hutter was furious with what he felt was Rebic's lack of effort in the Strasbourg game and that he had showdown talks with Rebic on Friday. But I haven't heard of anything since then. I don't think the signing of Dost was to replace Rebic. Frankfurt needed Dost to add experience to the young Frankfurt attack. Joveljic has only just turned 20 this month, so he is not guarantee to have a consistent first season. So Dost was brought in to provide competition and back up for Joveljic and Paciencia. Secondly, Rebic and Dost are very different players. Luan is a similar player for Rebic, but as I am ever the optimist, I am hoping that we buy Luan and keep Rebic. Maybe that is being naive, but I wish that to be the case. Perhaps you can update me on the recent news regarding Rebic? There's only a few days before the transfer window slams shut as well.
nudge Posted August 30, 2019 Author Posted August 30, 2019 Gladbach created more and better chances so far in the first half but Werner scores and RB lead 1-0
Michael Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 Beautiful goal by Werner, used his pace and power to shrug off Ginter and scored with a cool finish. It was a good set up from Forsberg as well, I think Forsberg deserves more starts for Leipzig.
SchalkeUK Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 Great Burgstaller goal - stood offside and scores - sorry Kampl not Burgstaller but the same sort of garbage I watch every week - someone should teach these people the rules!

What's happening with your supposed interest in Andre Silva? lol, I don't think he would frustrate you so much in attack if you got him haha.
Relling Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 Intense game. Gladbach played well. You have to feel for them.
SchalkeUK Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 The Italians are still hanging on to him - maybe until the deadline, but with Burgstaller retiring ( he says from International football when we all know International Football retired hik some time ago) and hopefully retiring from us too after the pathetic start to the season as was always to be expected - if anything he is now slower than he was last season - if that could be possible) thehn we do need a good striker and Silva seems to be more than capable of filling that position.

Michael Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 2nd goal for Werner, another super goal, anyone who doubts that Werner is world class need to re-evaluate their conclusions.
SchalkeUK Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 Sad to see Embolo struggling - he was great until Tedesco got his hands on him and tried to change his natural game - he will need time to get back to his best!

Andre Silva is more the kind of calibre of player that a big club like Schalke should be targetting. Burgstaller has always been an average centre forward. He'd be more suited to a club like Paderborn, as they would be his level. He even struggled at Cardiff City when he was there. Silva is the type of young and well rated forward that Schalke should be after. They are a huge club and they should be showing more ambition than holding on to players like Burgstaller.
nudge Posted August 30, 2019 Author Posted August 30, 2019 Embolo would be a great player if it wasn't for his decision making and his finishing.
SchalkeUK Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 David W needs to have a replacement ready before sending him on his way - otherwise some of Burgstaller's fans ( and there are a few) will start to get at him out of spite! as for nudge's comment - Tedesco ruined and trashed any confidence he had when he came to 04 - it takes time for a young guy to get that back but hopefully his new coach will sort it!

Those Schalke fans who like him are showing their working class colours. A lot of working class fans love players like Burgstaller. the type of player who works his socks off and who tries to close down every ball. A player who leaves all he has got on the field of play, but who at the end of the day is a limited player. He obviously has other strengths, like how he is decent at holding up the ball and the physical part of his game. But essentailly, at Bundesliga level, Burgstaller is an average forward.
nudge Posted August 30, 2019 Author Posted August 30, 2019 Embolo scores. A little too late it seems though...
Michael Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 Just now, nudge said: Embolo scores. A little too late it seems though... Yeah, nice freekick from Benes and a good run and header by Embolo. At least if it stays like this, I will have my score prediction correct.
SchalkeUK Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 My replay shows his second header was touched for a corner, but Werner does it again - who else and how on earth is he still at Leipzig?
