Serrano, Bender, Sohnlein
MOTM: Adam Maher
Got away with it and I am not impressed in the slightest at the performance. We was sloppy after going 3-0 up to concede two goals, it is very amateur defending and it will bite us in the bottom again this year in the competition if we carry on to be wreckless at the back.

MOTM: Roberto
Not happy whatsoever. To be 4-0 up then concede three is pathetic for a title winning team and it isn't the first time it has happened. I had a look around in the changing room and asked if we know how to defend? We will spend all week like little school children practicing the basics of defending.

A clean sheet is what I was secretly expecting pre-match. We also came out with a positive result which is also a bonus. A special mention to Sven Henning who scored his first senior goal which he celebrated in a brilliant fashion which was brilliant.

MOTM: Cristian Serreano
We set up slightly more defensive than usual against Schalke. We are quite a few points ahead of them and they are 2nd. We know they was going to come and attack so we frustrated them, but we attacked as a team and committed players to attacks. It worked a treat and we got a crucial victory away from home.

MOTM: Cristian Serrano
Good result in Europe again a well organised Turkish team in Galatasaray. They came for a draw and set up very defensively. We managed to take the lead through a set-piece and then we exposed the cracks in the defence they left when looking for an equaliser. One more win will see us qualify for the knockout rounds.

Bender, Gotze, Klein (2)
MOTM: Markus Klein
We gained four goals in the first half and the game was all well and done then. I didn't want anything silly to happen so I put on Roberto to marshall infront of the defence and make sure he protected the back four. I want to let the lads know it was a much better defensive play which I am pleased with.

We tried a new formation today to see if it would work and it wasn't the best successful but it still won us the game and gives us another option when in Europe. We come away with the win and progress into the third round.
