That was bad with Bremen and Stuttgart.
Ask the BVB.
No money, no future.

Well, after having a day to reflect on the KSC game I feel ready to start accusing someone...
The ref that disallowed our correct goal might be a tempting target but way to obvious.
Slomka then?
He should have rested a few players as we clearly was lacking enough energy to beak down KSC..Give some hungry players a chance!
But no..He took a gamble as he must sometimes, no way I´m going to blame him for that.
Höwedes perhaps?...Good defensively but not able to go forward like Pander would have done. But then he is a defender..No, not him.
No I put the blame squarely on the chests of Görlitz and Eichner, they where outstanding yesterday..They must have won 80-90% of their duells and singlehandedly held KSC in the game the first half...The second half we where spent anyway so it was just down to getting the first goal to win this game, and we didn´t score it.
All in all not a unjustified result for Karlsruhe...Motivation beats class again!

So we got a draw in Rostock...Not the result we hoped for but I can live with it as it was an away game.

I bet that Manuel Neuer still has nightmares after that weird goal he conceded in Rostock...:D

It wouldn´t surprise me...Hansa was not able to score on their own so let our goalie throw the ball at their forward.
Shit happens...:cool:

And Neuer screwing up badly again. You can't play shit like that on Stamford Bridge and expect to get away with anything else than a loss.

They have our old "Pannen-Olli". ;)
Nah, serious, it´s nothing unnormal for a young player
to not bring consistantly performances at the level Neuer
could do last season. He will make his experiences from it
and improve. :)
To the match:
Chelski won the Russian derby against Gazpromkirchen, ;)
but Schalke showed a good performance IMO.
You failed to get more with chains of individual mistakes at each against goal.
In some situations you could make the Chelsea defense look a bit shaky,
maybe you can use it in the next match to get something countable.

Yeah, he is a total mess...making a mistake like that is not something one will forgive a 20 y.o goalkeeper eh? :rolleyes:

I didn't get to see any, but to tell you the truth, it was always going to be difficult AT Chelsea. How did the team play?

They played ok actually...had an equalizer dismissed for offside etc.
But playing ok is not enough against Chelsea unfortunately...

On this level you can't afford to make embarrassing screws ups like this. Especially not against Chelsea on Stamford bridge. His age irrelevant in this situation. It's a simple shot by Malouda that any goalie has to save regardless of name, experience and status. If it was a situation like the one against Rostock I wouldn't be harsh on him. But on this one the "age card" does not apply.
