["Eisenfuß" Eilts]

Next match against Schalke, a team, that showed a convincing
performance against Hannover 96 on matchday 1.

In comparison to the Bielefeld match we need to improve
our tactical behaviour in defense and the midfield must
be more creative. Furthermore we have to take care of
Schalkes standard situations, that are very dangerous.

Interesting will be, if Schaaf lets Pizzaro start.

Let's hope for another 5-1 drubbing!

Can´t wait until tommorow.
Pizarro will definitely play, alongside Rosenberg.
Özil will show his class against his old club...hopefully. He didn´t play well in the U21 match against Moldawia. But Eilts didn´t play him in his best position.
Hope Pasanen will play as a left back instead of Boenisch, he was awful last week.

2-0 or 3-1 Bremen

Can't share your optimism, since Schalke are in good form, while we are not (especially defensively), but I hope you are right.

I'm really looking forward to see Pizarro in a Werder shirt again. Like I wrote earlier, if he can reach the level of his early Bremen years again, he could make all the difference for us this season.

The lineup I want to see:

------------Wiese----------------
------Naldo--------Prodl----------
Fritz------------------------Pasanen
-------------Baumann----------------
------Frings--------Jansen--------
--------------Ozil------------------
--------Rose----Hugo---------


I highly doubt Pizarro starting tomorrow..It's too risky for Schaaf to start a new player who isn't match fit in such a big match.

They did look pretty good. That game was better than no game.

But good old Goltv is giving me my Werder fix tomorrow right after Bayern plays to another draw, (wishful thinking). Should be a really good match.

Rust, your line up looks pretty good to me. I don't suppose Diego is going to fly all night and show up just in case????

[hackespitze123]

Way to passive start by us, Schalke actually looking better in the first half so far.

Damn Pizarro should have scored!

[hackespitze123]

Argh......what a run by Özil, definitely deserved a goal. He really needs to become more clinical.

But absolutely class dribbling. We finally start to play some good footy.

[hackespitze123]

This Schober guy who replaced Manuel Neuer with a world class performance today. How many quality keepers does Schalke produce? If he can keep that level, Schalke won't miss Neuer against Atletico.

0-0 HT

Schalke with the better start, but we came back and had quite a few good chances, should have scored if it wasn't for Schober's class saves. Interesting match, hopefully we'll be more clinical in the second half, since our defence looks shaky as always...
