Do you get Benatia back in time or will you have to play Dante against Dortmund and in the CL semis?

Don't think Benatia will be fit to play against Dortmund. Maybe, maybe for the CL semifinals, but it's far from certain either. Martinez is back in training this week, but I can't see him being ready for the CL semifinals either after such a long injury. I guess, Dante has to play :(.

Benatia and Martínez will be back in time for Dortmund. Unfortunate with Badstuber, but at least there is a light at the end of the Tunnel for us, pretty much everyone will be fit for the semis.

Dortmund is in 5 days - Tuesday night
Benatia is not even running right now. And I do not count with a fully fit Martinez in this season. He was out so long.

Robben comes back and might make some minutes against Dortmund - and will be fully fit for the semi finals. Ribery is totally in question from an interview with Sammer today. But we only need one of them as Guardiola will not throw out any of Müller or Lewa out of the formation.

You're way too negative, @Balu ;)

@Blackwidow: Martínez will be on the bench, regarding Benatia Kicker just said he will most probably be there, too.

If he is on the bench it is just to let him smell the "heat" again. He was out 8 months and yesterday started his first team training. He had a total knee damage - not just an ACL. There was about everything damaged. The problem at this injuries is not only the knee but the muscles, too - which after the long abstinence have to get used to the old schedule again. Players that had knee injuries and long breaks because of it often have muscle tears etc. in the period after it because of that. You see that with Badstuber right now. You have to be careful.
 
Ingolstadt are coming.

Errrr ......watch out? Not so sure.

Wonder how much money Audi are willing to invest?
 
A win tomorrow and Dortmund is only 3 points behind Schalke :lol:. Sacking Keller really seemed harsh when it happened, sacking him to hire Di Matteo was an incredibly idiotic decision though.

/edit:
just looked at Schalke's remaining fixtures. They play the bottom 3 (Stuttgart, Paderborn, Hamburg) and Cologne. Interesting, they should play a major role in the relegation battle. On paper all four are easy games, but the way Schalke is playing at the moment, they might actually gift all of them points.

I thought Keller was terrible and everyone was surprised he hadn't been sacked months before he finally was?
 
Keller had no charisma at all, but he wasn't that bad. Sacking him to hire an actually quality manager would have made sense of course, but Di Matteo? They should have moved heaven and earth to sign Tuchel in advance for 15/16 and finished the season with Keller.
 
Winning the Friday game is great. You can just sit back and watch everyone else drop points. :drool:

We're suddenly back in a battle for the European spots, just a couple of weeks after we were in a relegation scrap. Midtable is really close this season.

FC Schalke 04 as club and team with so many problems.
I would say the performances are more important than the results for Di Matteo in the last remaining games.

If they perform reasonably well they´d get at least 9 points out of those games. Heldt dug his own grave with Di Matteo. Its impossible to stick with him if Di Matteo has to go. They sacked so many different managers there is simply no quality left to hire. They already tried experienced (Stevens), crazy (Magath), someone from their own club (Keller) and now Mr. international-wane-be flair (Di Matteo), while missing out on Tuchel. At this point good manager will think twice about joining them.

Mainz are 2-0 up against Schalke after 40 minutes

To sack Keller was a terrible decision and to replace him with Di Matteo was another terrible decision.
Heldt should lose his job at the end of the season.

They should've sacked Keller at the end of last season, if anything it was a mistake to stick with him for so long. Just because Heldt, managed to auctually hire Di Matteo doesn't mean Keller suddenly is a top coach.
 
Looks like Hannover's free fall will continue. 1 minute in and Firmino has already put one past them.
 
Goals galore. :drool:

Augsburg get one back, Stuttgart lead, Hannover and Dortmund score pens.
 
Stuttgart up 2:0. At least that puts Hamburg back into 17th place.
 
Kagawa with the 2-0 for Dortmund, very good assist by Aubameyang.
 
Schaaf should bring in a coach for the defence for the next season.....it's crazy how many goals his teams have conceded in the last years:

2014-2015 with Eintracht Frankfurt: 59 so far
2012-2013 with Bremen: 66
2011-2012 with Bremen: 58
2010-2011 with Bremen: 61
 
If Calhanoglu was a basketball player, his 3point % would be higher than his free throw %.
 
Its amazing how much Aubameyang has improved his overall play this season despite the circumstances. Without a doubt player of the season for us.

I'm starting to dislike Hamburg because of it and I don't even know why.

Well, that club is pretty dislikeable after all. I just want them to save a couple bucks on their power bill, because they would not need their goddamn clock anymore after being relegated. Maybe then their suggar daddy Kühne would also lose interest in that club.

At least today, you should support Hamburg though. Or would you prefer if Dortmund missed the Europa League spots?
