*sighs* What is it with Dortmund and Schalke and all of their injuries all the time....

by Tomwin Lannister Wed Sep 03, 2014 6:49 pm

Maybe it's not a coincidence. Somewhere along the line, something must be going internally wrong with Dortmund

Schalke I have no idea, I only ever watch them in the odd European match

But I do notice they always seem to be missing players as the commentary points out.

Much Like Arsenal.

It is strange how certain clubs have these problems while others don't.

Dortmund play with a lots of intensity and run a lot as well, but perhaps it has to do with the medical team with some of these clubs? When a player isn't at 100% they perhaps still give them the good ahead to play?

Well, for now the Schalke guys decided to keep Leon Goretzka another 2 month out as they want to ease him slowly in for now. So maybe they have learned?

by VivaStPauli Thu Sep 04, 2014 12:10 pm

Dortmund just lack depth, that means they play some guys too much, which in return makes them more injury prone; which means more injuries, offsetting attempts to add depth, putting more strain on the replacements, making them more prone to injure themselves.

What Dortmund needs is a solid 3-4 months of no football, but that's not a thing that happens.

Leverkusen were leading 1-0, hit the post 3 times and missed 3 CCC. Werder Bremen tie with the only chance they had in the game in the 45th minute Proud

by rwo power Fri Sep 12, 2014 8:20 pm

Yeah, and what a funny goal with the first two Werder players missing the ball or practically stumbling over it Laughing

by EL Patron Fri Sep 12, 2014 8:26 pm

Leverkusen are so wasteful, they should be at least 4 up with the amount of chances they have wasted.

Bayer looking good. Annoyed.

by Curtinho Fri Sep 12, 2014 8:41 pm

How is Davie Selke looking? I know his goalscoring record at the international and regular youth level is outstanding.

by rwo power Fri Sep 12, 2014 8:42 pm

And now Bayer are even unlucky with the ref...

by rwo power Fri Sep 12, 2014 8:47 pm

What a nasty goal by Franco di Santo! Through Bernd Leno's legs!

by urbaNRoots Fri Sep 12, 2014 8:48 pm

Horrendous defending from Bayer 04, 1-2.

by rwo power Fri Sep 12, 2014 8:49 pm

2:2 Hakan Calhanoglu FK!

by EL Patron Fri Sep 12, 2014 8:49 pm

great counter attack and a decent finish but Leverkusen play a ridiculous high line with some average defenders, no wonder they are getting punished tonight

by rwo power Fri Sep 12, 2014 8:51 pm

And Bernd Leno saves a 1 vs 1 from point blanc range!

by EL Patron Fri Sep 12, 2014 8:51 pm

Calhanoglu looks a player

by urbaNRoots Fri Sep 12, 2014 8:52 pm

Calhanoglu's set piece delivery is 9/10.

It's not even the highline alone, when they are attacking they attack with all the players bar 1/2 + GK. And the individuals are average as you said.

Very Arsenal-like 07-10 Laughing

by rwo power Fri Sep 12, 2014 9:00 pm

Heung-Min Son! Bayer 04 3:2 Werder now

by EL Patron Fri Sep 12, 2014 9:00 pm

Good finish from Seon, he is a decent player

by rwo power Fri Sep 12, 2014 9:08 pm

That's a highly enertaining match cheers

by rwo power Fri Sep 12, 2014 9:12 pm

3:3 Sebastian Prödl!

by EL Patron Fri Sep 12, 2014 9:14 pm

Defensively Leverkusen are very poor Laughing

by rwo power Fri Sep 12, 2014 9:15 pm

And Izet Hajrovic messes up the chance to score the 4:3 for Werder
