Schalke Post Match Thread

Best goal - the Sterling one. Awesome pass by Sane to bend it behind the defence and a great finish. Probably ruined by the VAR delay though.

If Carlsberg did Champions League nights ...

It looked to me like Aguero had his head down stumbling and was just getting it on target. Having said that those ones from close near your feet are always difficult to save but I thought his attempt at Jesus' shot was poor

jeez, you're a bundle of laughs arn't you ?

By the way , we won 7-0 :)

Schalke were awful, arguably the worst team we have played at home this season and I include Burton and Huddersfield. Can anyone explain why, with all the VAR reviews, subs, Danilo injury etc there was zero added time.

Yes 2 minutes in the first half when one VAR decision took over 2 minutes, and non in the second half despite 4 goals and a whole raft of substitutions.

UEFA make up the rules as they go along.

Depends who you ask.

Most pundits would say it's those special European Nights under...….. You know the rest.

C*NTS!

Don’t get the, it was only Shalke line of thought. I’ve been watching us for 40 years and we play shit teams every season. This team puts them to the sword like no other team I’ve ever seen.

Ruthless.

Not too shabby. Porto next, please.

In a word: no.

One of Gundogan’s best games tonight.
He completely bossed the show as well as some exquisite passing.
Really hope he signs an extension. Pure quality!

I wasn't meaning it as criticism I thought he did bloody well to stay on his feet , just I don't think the placing was deliberate.
I loved the game.

Sane was brill as was Sergio, Bernie and the whole team in fact but... I think Sterling maybe the best player in Europe this season.. he’s sooooo consistantly good it’s ridiculous.. maturing so well.. upping level after leavel... proper man now :-)

 

[Beanhead]

Ilkay has also been absolutely unplayable since Christmas too... had a lot of stick prior to that so fair play to him

 

[St.Pauli support]

At some point in the 2nd half:

Ed...............25
Walker..........28
Danilo...........27
Laporte.........24
Zin..............22
Gündogan......28
Bernardo.......24
Foden..........18
Sterling........24
Jesus...........21
Sané............23

On average 24 years old. (Stones, 24, not being involved.)

Young and wild - most of them ;-)
Good times ahead.

I think they said it was the equal best leg-victory in the competition? Should have been extra time in the second half for what, six substitutions, four goals and some shabby VAR time? Perhaps an additional 7 or 8 mins for us to break another record.

If that is the decision to feel sorry for the opposition, the ref should have called it a day when we were 3-0 up.

 

[KS55]

Surely we cheated? UEFA investigate 'fixed passing'.
