McKennie: Schalke 04 vs Herta Berlin 3.3.18

On the bench. Hopefully he can get back on the field.

 

Schopf on as the first sub.

 

Someone at Fox must be drunk or hates soccer because the Schalke game keeps switching to some segment on Lonzo Ball [emoji459]

 

Hertha threatening and at times down the middle. If McKennie is fit he should maybe replace Meyer or Di Santo then push Meyer up.

 

Weston is on in the 80’

 

82’ First touch is a pressured one time ball to a teammate. He then calls for the ball and gets it from Meyer. Attracting three players he releases a teammate in the box with a short through ball. Welcome back!

 

Mistake from the CB nearly leads to a shot on goal... a little nervy

 

87’ McKennie definitely looks a little stiff, but slides to knock the ball out of play around midfield.

 

89’ Kono entering for Meyer and I’d imagine that means McKennie slide into CM

 

90’ Ball intercepted by McKennie and he almost pulls off a off balance through ball...

 

Schalke win 1-0. McKennie back in action for 13 minutes. Could see his quality immediately, but just needs games for those heavy legs.
