Has German commentary though ...

My 5 year old is sitting on my lap wanting to watch cartoons on youtube.  I'm trying to explain to him this is an "important match" but it doesn't seem to be sinking in.

time to lay down the law.  tell him its nap time.

Are you kidding me...Campos in for Mistakidis?!?!

[Blackhawk]

Campos getting ready to come in for Mystakidis.

[pash]

And now Matos loses the next game.

[Bananas]

Klaus is truly blessed.  I really don't understand why he's on the pitch instead of Mystakidis.

Please take off the waste of space. Sick of watching him...  Henrique in

[Blackhawk]

We will have hard time in Germany without our starting backs.

[kozi]

We have no hope there

Yes.  Kitsiou I don't think is at this level.  And no obvious replacement for Leovac.  Crespo plays there but we need someone who can overlap and get forward.

[Blackhawk]

Our problem is the midfield. That's why we can't create anything. Defensively we are not that bad.

[Blackhawk]

Don't understand why Ivic is not putting in henrique.

[pash]

If both fullbacks are out, I can easily see Ivic playing Henrique and Mistakidis as wingbacks next game.

[kozi]

The only player capable of scoring is on the bench lol... Get a proper manager you clowns

Agree.  It's not like Schalke have had a ton of opportunities.  As for our us, we can't penetrate.  Schalke close down any space very quickly.  Missing a player like Rodrigues to make something out of nowhere and apply pressure.  

[pash]

I want Biseswar out of there. He holds the ball too long, doesn't move enough, and is planted about 20 yards farther back than he needs to be.

[Blackhawk]

Not his fault. It's because the other mids (Cimirot, Shakhov) are non-existant. He has no help at all.

[pash]

Campos, honestly, is best when he has to jump at a random ball and fight like four people to get it. Nice attempt by him to grab us a corner.

Cimirot has been running his ass off out there. I'd argue he's the one with no support.

[Bananas]

All 3 of our midfielders are playing deep.  They either can't get forward or have been instructed to play that way.  Cimirot and Shakhov have hardly gotten forward.

[Blackhawk]

That's why Biseswar is all alone upfront and can't create anything.

Finally Henrique is coming in. 

[pash]

Henrique a much-needed change. But for who?

[Bananas]

Henrique to come on.  Who will be coming off ... ?
