Schalke vs Mainz player ratings: This is what we do, I guess

4.9. Sloppy. Had immense trouble getting comfortable. He did find some small moments of influence, but never with any consistency. He was smothered out of possession so many times and lacked the sharpness to deal with it effectively. Had a loose touch and a heavy foot. This is one he’ll want to forget.. CAM. FC Schalke 04. AMINE HARIT

ST. FC Schalke 04. BENITO RAMAN. 6.2. Made his usual runs, the kind that make every single ball over the top look threatening. Does tremendous work contributing to the attack, building it and creating dangerous situations. Honestly much better than Gregoritsch again, but was taken off for Kutucu time with minimal impact made on the match.

5.2. Still struggling to maintain a presence in the box. Honestly, it can all be summarized by him getting hit by the ball in the box when he wasn’t expecting it in the 34th minute. I’m just not sure what his thing is. He doesn’t attack the ball, he’s not an aerial threat, he’s not fast. Someone help me out here. Had another chance, off a run by Schopf, in the 40th minute but couldn’t sneak it by the keeper. The impulse is there to be an effective attacker, but something just hasn’t clicked.. ST. FC Schalke 04. MICHAEL GREGORITSCH
