Dortmund hit the bar twice in the first five minutes. Had another good chance after that too. Really good game so far.

Good match. 1-0 to Dortmund.

Wow. What a game. Dortmund are unbelievable sometimes.

What a turnaround for Monchengladbach

Their bold move to trust an unknown coach with zero first league experience pays off for now.

Time for pep to go now. They should get mourinho...

Is there a reason why Bayern haven't got enough players on the bench again?

Happy to see Augsburg's revival continue. Weinzierl is an excellent coach

That's how confident they are.

Another good win for Dortmund and Tuchel despite a missed Aubamayeng peno.

I turned it on just as the corner was being taken!! Great timing.

Fantastic goal.

LIVERPOOL are interested in signing FC Schalke 04 defender Joel Matip who is out of contract next summer.

Matip, 24, is a Cameroon international and will be well-known to Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp following his time in Germany.

The right-footed Matip can also play in a defensive midfield role which would widen his appeal.
Liverpool are likely to see veteran Kolo Toure leave the club when his contract runs out at the end of the season and will need to bolster their defensive options.

Matip was courted by Newcastle in the summer when a £10million move was mooted but, with his contract due to expire in the coming months, Liverpool may prefer to wait.

They can talk to the player from January 1 and look to come to a pre-contract agreement with him.

Klopp is also an admirer of Matip's Schalke team-mate Leroy Sane, who is regarded as one of the next waves of stars to emerge in Germany.

Sane is just 19 and made his international debut in Germany's loss to France last month at the Stade de France which was the target of terrorist attacks.

There is zero chance to get Sane in the near future. Schalke would never sell their crown juwel.

Matip is not bang average. He is one of the most underrated CBs.

They sold Draxler to a direct rival. Surely they will entertain if the offer is decent enough?

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #343 on:** December 18, 2015, 07:55:07 pm »

Schalke are colossally boring and shit. Their coach has to be on thin ice there, he's gash. They've so many average to shit players; Kolasinac, Choupo-Moting and Riether to name a few.

warrenpe · « **Reply #344 on:** December 18, 2015, 08:07:56 pm »

Howedes will finish his career under Pulis at West Brom. He's Olsson's heir in waiting.

How bad are Hoffenheim btw? Barely threatened at all against an average team, I'll be stunned if they don't get relegated

warrenpe · « **Reply #346 on:** December 18, 2015, 08:28:11 pm »

Agreed. It kind of gives you hope Firmino might end up being a big player for us though, the fact they appear to be missing him so much.

Schalke seemed so entertaining in highlights earlier in the season, but against Dortmund they were playing a 6-4-0 formation for large chunks of the game, at home. Don’t think they’ve quite reached Di Matteo levels of awfulness yet though.

Absolutely, their attack has fallen to pieces without him. A couple of seasons ago they were scoring for fun, now they can barely muster any. Schalke's main tactic seems to be Geis playing long balls up to Choupo Moting, it's proved successful in this game but they just look desperately short of invention to me. Before the goal they'd not threatened much either

he played every single minute of their World cup winning side, much much better than that big nosed tosser.

I like Schalke; Sane, Choupo Moting, di Santo, Hunterlaar, Goretzka, Max Meyer are all to a high level. a shame Sidney Sam hasn't put in any peformances like he did for Leverkusen in a blue shirt yet.

Fully aware of that C. The problem is that ever since that World Cup victory, he seems to have been given carte blanche by referees to indulge in whatever shithouse antics he likes. It happened every time I watched Schalke last season and he was at it again last night.

Di Santo is to a high level? Is that the same striker who's scored 46 goals in 249 games and reached double figures once? 1 in 17 this season in the league, he's shit and has no business at a team chasing Champions League football. Huntelaar is nowhere near what he used to be, he's so static now and Goretzka is not close to being as good as everybody claims. Their tactics were Geis playing long balls to Choupo Moting and in the end Schalke were lucky to win that game.

Wouldn't deny that for one second, they're top talents, and I'd have either here in a heartbeat. Just a shame they're surrounded by some mediocre forwards.

They should have called it best German players of all time since it really takes heavy influence of WC performances.

Lahm at 15 is crazy. Khedira and Özil haven't played in Germany since they were 22. I can't believe they use transfer figures as arguments too (Götze and Kroos, really?)

rafathegaffa83 · « **Reply #359 on:** January 1, 2016, 02:40:06 pm »

I don't really have a problem with Lahm being ranked so high, but Boateng being ranked higher than Berti Vogts is laughable. Also a shame that they are only looking at players who played during the Bundesliga era, as it leaves out players like Fritz Walter: 357 goals in 364 games for Kaiserslautern.
