There are not that many German youngsters playing though, are they?

Özil with a great pass that lead to the 1:0, Neuer had a good match also. Khedira not as dominant as usual (really rate him), and Tasci looked pretty good also. Have I missed anyone?

Oh Gott... Moni Lierhaus' crush on Jogi Löw is getting sooooooooo damn embarrassing. Get a grip, girl!

She can hold my microphone

don't know I managed to view about 10 minutes of the match (am watching the baby too). Thought Stuttgart was mainly youngsters?

I expect a rough start, posted a more detailed prediction in the Werder thread (and elsewhere). A ton of injuries, and still quite a lot of work to do for our coach, the team still has to gel.

Hopefully, we won't bottle the CL qualification, that will be most important.

Löw interviewed

Hmm?

Very good clearance by Neuer indeed. Dare I say World Class?

Gomez is injured. You could add him and Hilbert to the list, although both of them are more or less established now, and have played for die Mannschaft already.

Stuttgart are not just youngsters though. Senior players like Pavel Pardo and Hitzlsberger were very important for them last year as well.

According to Löw, Ballack will most probably not play against England.

Playing without both, Ballack and Frings, is a huge blow. Good news for the islanders.

@ Blut

How long is Frings out for and what is the more likely Bremen midfield v Dinamo Zagreb

Frings will be out for another 4-5 weeks at least. He won't play the CL qualification unfortunately. Yes, it's a huge loss for us.

FANDEL DU BLINDFISCH!!! HANDSPIEL?!

Kuyt MotM so far

Nasty looking fall of Hitzelsperger

say it quietly i'm enjoying this don't tell otto

Good shot Pander

Pander's free kick definitely wasn't bad.

If only Pander could stay fit for more than 5-10 matches a season.

53 mins schalke should have done better good opportunity for a through ball. just before the pander effort

Stupid foul Boka. Deserved yellow.

That was a very good effort from Pander.

Good save

Stuttgart do seem to have a problem with discipline. Last year's Pokal final was a prime example, this year's Pokal match against Wehen was very ugly also.

See, that's why we signed Schäfer.

Another booking. Jermaine Jones

How good is Kobiashvili ??

Schalke will kick themselves to next Friday if they don't win tonight.
