At Schalke? He is a starter, for the last few weeks he's been picked over Hoger, he's pretty much won his spot back.

For the last match before the break, yes. I am not too sure about him winning his spot back already but he will have his 20+ games I assume.

I have the feeling Zac understood the gap in Japan's formation when they have to switch between attack and defence, so he added Abe and moved Hasebe a little forward, but Abe was out of place most of the time he was on the pitch.

I think Zac had hoped Hasebe would hold the ball in the crowded last 3rd and drive the play on cuz that's something the rest of them can't do under pressure as they're more of a pass & go players.
