Bayern München - FC Schalke 04

What to say, normally this should be a big match but if we compare these two teams it is more or less decided. Bayern Munich is rolling and they win match after match and in all these matches maybe they need some time to get on track but they are never in danger in the past. Their defensive conceding almost zero and upfront their class is there that they are always able to score one, two, three or more. It is very scary if you take a look what coach Heynckes has on bench but he does not need anyone of them at the moment because the starting lineup is well balanced and play such a good style that it is hard for everyone to come in. Some players like Gomez and Robben are a bit angry but they have to accept the situation at the moment as no one of the starting eleven show some weakness. 

I wrote it already some time ago that I do not like coach Keller as he was in Stuttgart and he made a bad job there and was fired after some month and the same happens in Schalke for sure. I do not see a clear uptrend from the team so far. No, it is more or less a downtrend as the defensive is very weak and also the offensive who played really good under Stevens did not improve much. Their style of play is weak and the result showed this already. They are normally one of the champions league candidates for next season but with this form and this style of play, never. They have to fight huge that they get an international starter place for next season as many teams behind take a lot of pressure on them and with a lose today they are for sure out of the top 6. Therefore the pressure is getting bigger and bigger where manager Heldt has to make a decision and this means he has to suck coach Keller. They signed a few new players like Raffael or Bastos but let in good form playing Holtby left to Tottenham. It makes no sense for me as they hurt themselves. Raffael played not much at Kiew and can not help immediately, Bastos showed some against Fürth but against better teams, can he? The other boring things are as follows. Fuchs received his 5th yellow card and is out, for him should play youngster Kolasinac but can he stopp Ribery or Müller, no way. Important DEF Papadopolous is out since weeks and without him the defensive is very weak as Matip are a huge risk if he plays. Affeley, Moritz and Marica are also out and weakening the offensive a lot. Their best scorer Huntelaar is out with an eye injury but he was totally out of form anyway.

Overall a clear thing for Bayern Munich at the moment. It speaks all for them. If anyone can tell me what speaks for Schalke, please let me know. I think we can get a lot of in play options as Schalke try for sure to defend and build a big wall, but soon or later they will fall.
