Bürki, Akanji, Sancho, Witsel, Guerreiro and Reyna out...now Haaland, too.

Kind of a miracle they are still in this.


Definitely, lots of players not available, but even with a full squad, they're often frustrating to watch on defense.


Yeah, roster is too young to be consistent.

Dont know why Rangnick would do that to himself.

Safe to say Gladbach shouldve directly gotten rid of Rose when he announced that he is going to Dortmund.

Loss after loss after loss.

No idea when they last won a football match.
10th spot with that roster. Yikes.

It's crazy that they haven't got the next guy in so that he has time to prepare for next season. If it's someone whose in a job then let a caretaker do their thing for the last half of the season.
I remember when the Dolphins were perennial contenders

He probably got the promise that he can do whatever he wants with the team.
There was a time he almost signed for Anderlecht, but the board ultimately didn't go for it, because they wouldn't follow his emphasis on youth development.

What a shame.

Rumor is the management board is torn whether to get him or not.

Complete chaos at Schalke as usual.
Rangnick is a great talent evaluator and good coach. If you can get him to sign to this mess there is no alternative to that. You can build a new squad with him in the second league.

If they continue to operate the way they are doing now...the club will be relegated to 3rd league and then go bankrupt lol

Our offense is still a work in progress.

Cant score to save our lives even though everyone is hustling.

Bielefeld winning in Leverkusen...now we know why Leverkusen is out if the EL and well behind Wolfsburg, Frankfurt and Dortmund. They just do not have the mentality. Scrubs.

Unexpected point at Leipzig and we are now 4 points ahead of Bayer. But still an awful long way to go if you look at the schedule. I don´t expect us to end in the top 4 but if we want to keep that dream alive then we absolutely have to beat Union.

The primary opponent is Dortmund who have about thousand injuries and still play CL and Cup games.

Only Haaland can stop Eintracht from making it.

Chances are great IMO.

I think all 4 teams are playing against each other the next weeks. Wolfsburg probably with the toughest schedule. We need a win against them at home to put the pressure on them. And of course a point at Dortmund would be great.
But Union will be a tough game too. We are not at full strength with Younes, Tuta, Durm and Toure out. Not sure about Hinti and Kamada.

Lewandowski 11 goals in his last 6 Bundesliga games. 35 for the season.
5 shy of Gerd Müller record of 40 goals that was considered unbeatable for a couple decades.

Almost feels like Schalke DM/CM/OM are afraid of touching the ball.

Back 4 passing the ball between them and then there is a 40-50 meter gap to the next player. Feels like they have 5 strikers lmao

Another win!

First time out of the relegation zone this season.

Gotta keep working hard.
Next game against Bielefeld after the NT break is very important as well.
