Re: Schalke 04 v Athletic Club Bilbao
unfortunately i can understand german as much as spanish lol so have to rely on the great english commentators
going to be a cracking match though ,schalke are one of the few teams i can watch for 90 mins as a neutral . bilbao are one of those teams too

Re: Schalke 04 v Athletic Club Bilbao
I have to ponder whether I concentrate more on Schalke or on Hannover tonight. - The latter play some nice football recently, too. Decisions, decisions...

Re: Schalke 04 v Athletic Club Bilbao
I'm considerably worried about this game. Far far more worried than I was when the draw happened. I'm not worried of what Schalke can do, but how bad the form of Bilbao has been since the Man United victory as we haven't won a game since. Bielsa for all his brilliance is equally frustrating with his indecisiveness and eccentric decisions. I know he can prevail as I easily rate him higher than Magath but he must deploy the correct formation and balance of players that has worked.
Line-up: 4-2-3-1
Iraola-San Jose-Amorbieta-Aurtunexte
Javi-Itturaspe
Susaeta/De Marcos-Ander-Muniain
Llorente.
Backline is simple with Iraola and Aurtunexte utilizing their superb attacking skill with the all rounded visionary midfield of Javi and Itu hold Schalke at bay along with distributing.
Suseata or De Marcos as depending on how you would balance the squad while Ander essentially functions as the Trequartista and Muniain playing his SS role to the false 9 role of Llorente.
Ari du Gora Euskadi!!!

Bad news for you, then, that Magath isn't coaching Schalke anymore.

Excuse my ignorance then
Well then I don't know what to expect from their manager as I've only seen Schalke 1-2 times this year.
How is their manager? Any good tidbits?

Re: Schalke 04 v Athletic Club Bilbao
Well, I think Huub Stevens has had a good hand with his Schalke team in the last weeks. I'm really looking forward to a nice attacking match (although I will prolly watch Hannover with the second eye - I can't miss to see how Zieler is doing today ^^).
BTW, Huub Stevens is Schalke's "Coach of the Century" - he led them to their Uefa Cup win in 1997.
BTW, here you have the current Schalke squad and their matches around the EL ties: https://goallegacy.forumotion.com/t17011-fc-schalke-04

Re: Schalke 04 v Athletic Club Bilbao
Bielsa watched 42 videos of Schalke ahead of Europa League match with Athletic tonight [via @joel_richards]
Got this from twitter. Astonishing. Hope this helps and hopefully we'll see some ass rampage

Re: Schalke 04 v Athletic Club Bilbao
That's typical Bielsa
Damn, if Arq and I are both very worried, what chance do Athletic have?
Also Huntelaar has 14 goals in the EL. Let me say that again. 14. Ridiculous.

Bilbao's midfield wouldnt let Schalke have a sniff of the ball
I think Bilbao are trying to qualify for Europe by winning EL, can see them giving it their all

Schalke 04 being proper bottlers, you can't expect them to do good.

Re: Schalke 04 v Athletic Club Bilbao
Schalke atm have a huge problem. They have three injured GKs now (Fährmann, Unnerstall, Hildebrand) and the fourth one, Schober, last played in March 2009 for Schalke before he was subbed in today. I really wonder whom they will put on the bench as GK next match - they only have two completely unproven youngsters from Schalke II left now.

Re: Schalke 04 v Athletic Club Bilbao
A treat for spectators. Schalke have a very hard task now, but so do Bilbao who have shown that they are prone to overconfidence and relaxing too much in the league. Let's hope for an equally entertaining match.
