Midfield

7.1. Had trouble with Paderborn’s press. Couldn’t quite establish the presence we’re used to seeing from him. Settled in, naturally, because that’s what he does, and started to enforce things into the second half.. CDM. FC Schalke 04. OMAR MASCARELL

ALESSANDRO SCHOPF. 6.4. Did well for his part. His athleticism is useful in the middle of the pitch, particularly in engineering counter attacks. The sharpness wasn’t there early, but that was true across the board. Delivery wasn’t crisp. Still, he adapted well to the match and provided a lot of attacking push. He need to find more security with the ball though, you can’t be losing possession ten times. He’s no Serdar, and that’s my big takeaway.. LM. FC Schalke 04

FC Schalke 04. WESTON MCKENNIE. 8.1. <strong>Man of the Match</strong>. Was tremendous throughout the match. Had free reign to move wherever he wanted, and as can be expected, he made the most of it, covering so much ground and contributing in the attack and defense. He was literally everywhere. Popped up to take shots, popped up to stop shots. Created so many chances for his teammates, leading the team in that department. And I will always love how quickly he flies into scrums to defend his teammates.. RM
