These guys really only finished 10 points behind the almighty Galatasaray? Did they lose a few world class players this summer or something?

Do the names

Gaziantepspor, Genclerbirligi or Akhisar Belediyespor ring a bell to you? That's who they play week after week.

Lol are those the names of club teams or STD's?

Fenerbahce shouldn't even show up to London for 2nd leg lol

[Foye]

This Schalke team is so pathetic. Come.on Jens Keller step down. Its.about time if this team wants to have a good season.

Most of their central midfielders(Emre B.,Meireles, Mehmet Topal, Christian Baroni, Selcuk Sahin) are aged and out of form. Midfield is Arsenal's strongest aspect. Ramsey, Cazorla and Rosicky easily passed and dribbled in midfield. Moreover Fenerbahce's wing defense has been weak since last season. Walcott and Gibbs exploited those wings, Gibbs scored a goal, Walcott made 2 assists.

What makes things worse; their new coach(Ersun Yenal) is an incompetent tactician. He has 3 young midfielders(Alper Potuk, Samuel Holmen, Salih Ucan) but he does not play them most of the time.

What made them Euro Cup semi-finalist last season was a very strict defensive approach based on counter attacks. New coach does not want to play a defensive game, but most of the players in squad are around their 30's. They are not energetic enough to play an offensive uptempo game... They barely watch when a young player like Aaron Ramsey dribbles around them...

As a football player, the only thing Miroslav Stoch can do at a good level is.. dribbling along the left flank using his left foot, then taking the ball to his right foot and sending the ball to the corner of the net. Even a child in Turkey knows this fact but it looks like Schalke coaches and defenders do not...

[IronChef]

Just watched the game, and a much better performance. Still need to get better, especially in the final third. Ramsey was man of the match today, great performance.

Raul Meireles looks like he should be stealing people's gasoline in some post-apocalyptic hellscape.

Haha. Schalke.went.through a little crisis last season and then they randomly decided to.fire Huub Stevens, the best coach in their history. Now they are stuck with a clown that doesnt know what he is doing.

[Point forward]

As a Lautern fan, I wish we could have played vs Schalke in the relegation instead of vs Hoffenheim. That Schalke team makes Peer Steinbrück look confident.

I thought it was such an experienced away C.L performance in a hostile environment. Yes we could have scored more in the first half, but we dominated the midfield. I always look at the chances conceded, and I dont think we gave that many away, that was encouraging.

[Foye]

Only one more hour left until another embarrassing Schalke performance. Yay. Hopefully, they learn from it and fire Keller.

If you international/US guys get Andy Townsend on your feed, I'm so sorry. That guy is just the worst.

Rambo is on a roll , what was he eating all summer ?

Former Mainz 05 player Szalai with the goal for Schalke after a terrible first half.

If that's the winner he paid back his transfer fee of 8 mil. € in only one game.

[Foye]

And there's the equalizer. Schalke wouldn't be Schalke if they couldn't f*ck this up.

[5DOM]

Jermaine Jones strikes!

[Foye]

Jermaine Jones red...LMAO.

[5DOM]

But Schalke score and are pretty much through

[Foye]

Draxler with the go ahead goal. Nice assist from Max Meyer.

Schalke's defense is still looking like sh*t, though.
