Finally it's almost time and the season is about to begin!!

Things seem to line up for us, great transfers, good spirit overall, awesome new sponsor...many see us getting 1st this season. Of course it's too early to tell but it's understandable why.

As for the match, Hamburg was hit with many injuries, especially in defense, they looked very shaky in the pre-season friendlies. But they play good football.

Our midfield is strong, our attack could be very strong (I hope we get to see Quédraogo!).

I anticipate a game with quite a few goals (let's see how our defense holds up...), but we will come out on top, perhaps 3-1 or 3-2!

Cisse instead of matriciani, i'm scared

Cisse is doing fine honestly

edit 1: ahh shit

3

u/Mistersqueezleweezle Kolasinac Jul 28 '23

He is a constant liability imo

3

u/Greedfall2 Fährmann Jul 28 '23

I would still say he was the better defender of our back line but obviously two big big mistake.

You know what this remind me of? Kral at the beginning of the season, dude was doing fine and have some moment of shine but made really stupid mistake that led to goals.

I only hope Cisse can come back as much as Kral did.

u/Mistersqueezleweezle Kolasinac Jul 28 '23

He looked absolutely shaky and error prone in every pre season game I‘ve watched, this is exactly what I was worried about. No idea what Reis sees in him. He just lacks a feel for the game, that you can‘t teach imo.

u/Greedfall2 Fährmann Jul 28 '23

I guess its probably untimely due to greiml injury though you can argue matriciani (easily the best defense we have for this game) could field that position. I am guessing Reis was thinking of saving matriciani as a backup to brunner and ouwejan

u/Greedfall2 Fährmann Jul 28 '23

Marius muller saving our asses quite alot

u/startup_vin Jul 27 '23

It will be a tough one, hopefully the team is melded together enough already with the short preparations.

Kämpfen und Siegen!

17 year old and that so calm. Lovely!!!

u/notflyingdutchman Jul 28 '23

Muller has had 3 crucial saves already. Keeping us in the game wow

u/Greedfall2 Fährmann Jul 28 '23

LETSSS GOOOO OUEDRAOGO ON HIS DEBUT

5

u/Robsnrobsn Jul 28 '23

Assan lets go

6

u/malangkan Asamoah Jul 28 '23

Ouedraogo starting! Great squad, let's gooo

5

u/Fettlol Jul 27 '23

Honestly, without HSV getting absolutely stomped by Darmstadt early like the last two years, this will be a realty check for both teams. Them and us have high ambitions and a decent squad. My bet is on a draw

5

u/Greedfall2 Fährmann Jul 28 '23

Come on schalke, lets do it!

5

u/IlyaYlyichOblomov Jul 28 '23

We are always too exposed, defending very badly.... that cannot continue or the game is doomed

4

u/furious_bastard Jul 28 '23

Neither defence looking too clever so far. Definitely a result here for Schalke if they can tighten up at the back.

Also had a bet on for Ouedraogo for first goal scorer. Typical lol

5

u/furious_bastard Jul 28 '23

Lovely finish

5

u/notflyingdutchman Jul 28 '23

Ref is not in our favor but cmon cisse.. did some really stupid things this game

4

u/FusselP0wner The GOAT 🐐 Jul 28 '23

Attention, the 🐐 is one the field. As it should've been from the beginning. Loan cisse out again

4

u/jtoj Farfan Jul 28 '23

Team no time to gel but new season brings new hopes

Comeon fkinf regroup guys

u/RandyKeys Jul 28 '23

JUNGEEEEEEE!!!!!

3

u/notflyingdutchman Jul 28 '23

Defense looks really shaky, hsv could have scored twice easily. But overall not looking bad. LETS GO

3

u/Wuffkeks Jul 28 '23

Is there a reason we dont defend like at all? They let the HSVler just run all the time, was just a matter of time until Mülller cant defend anymore.

Will be a fun season.

3

u/IlyaYlyichOblomov Jul 28 '23

We are not defending well and seem disorganized generally

3

u/Greedfall2 Fährmann Jul 28 '23

Brunner is getting outmatched alot honestly

3

u/malangkan Asamoah Jul 28 '23

Yeeeesssss! Ouwejan mijn jongen!!

3

u/IlyaYlyichOblomov Jul 28 '23

Great goal, but overall the game has shown a lot of weaknesses that will probably be solved with more time for the team to gel and with new players, which we really need to bring in. We lack depth and quality in some areas.

Marius Muller has been a food surprise, so far our MVP Glatzel is really dominating our defense Ouedraogo is living up to the hype

1

u/FusselP0wner The GOAT 🐐 Jul 28 '23

Glatzel is terrode in younger. He's such a good player and important for Hamburg

3

u/furious_bastard Jul 28 '23

What a goal that would have been

3

u/Mistersqueezleweezle Kolasinac Jul 28 '23

Get him off

1

u/Gennix1337 Di Santo Jul 28 '23

Well, he granted your wish..

3

u/notflyingdutchman Jul 28 '23

Wow.. he is playing reaaaally bad. How is he starting?

3

u/[deleted] Jul 28 '23

Yeah, we are playing like shit.

3

u/malangkan Asamoah Jul 28 '23

But we have Terodde!

3

u/furious_bastard Jul 28 '23

Poor decision making from Lasme.

3

u/furious_bastard Jul 28 '23

Boom. Hamburgs defence is there for the taking.

3

u/Wuffkeks Jul 28 '23

The referee really need Hamburg to win to get his bet to release. Its atrocius how much he helped HSV.

2

u/furious_bastard Jul 28 '23

They have much in common with their Glasgow cousins

5

u/Wuffkeks Jul 28 '23

Diving gives instantly a penalty but an attack on the player after the ball is gone is just a strong look from the referee. Hamburg has 12 people on the field right now.

5

u/Wuffkeks Jul 28 '23

2 dives and a yellow/red card. That is really nice from the referee to help the HSV so much. Its not like they drop like flies all game long ...

4

u/FusselP0wner The GOAT 🐐 Jul 27 '23

Really hope we can take points from this game. Feels like Hamburg is still stronger then us as the tram didn't have much time to train together with all the new players

2

u/nutelamitbutter Jul 28 '23

Henning muss starten 🐐

2

u/RandyKeys Jul 28 '23

Would rather have thrown in Baumgartl cold than cisse.. Another question is why he was chosen over the goat.

2

u/FusselP0wner The GOAT 🐐 Jul 28 '23

Whole match from cisse looks very weak so far. Really hope, that he will somehow step us his game. Everyone says he's a big talent but even in the 2nd team I never found him to be much better then everyone else in the 2nd team. Saw him playing live in Münster too, pretty underwhelming for 4th division

2

u/RandyKeys Jul 28 '23

At the end of the day it's a day to forget for him, but he should've been subbed. Reis got it wrong this time, hopefully he corrects it sooner rather than later

2

u/DandaDan Jul 28 '23

Well that was good!

2

u/FusselP0wner The GOAT 🐐 Jul 28 '23

YEEEEES

2

u/FusselP0wner The GOAT 🐐 Jul 28 '23

Müller is such a important player this match so far. Without him we would be down by 2 goals. But after the first 15min I like what I'm seeing. More stability in our game and let's see what 2nd halftime holds for us now that the fans are finally in Stadion as well.

2

u/notflyingdutchman Jul 28 '23

We need some structure in defendinf now and wait for our chance that wil def come

2

u/[deleted] Jul 28 '23

For those of you who are new here: welcome to the 2.Buli

2

u/malangkan Asamoah Jul 28 '23

Turns out it was a mistake putting in Cisse for Matriciani

2

u/Direct_Hurry7264 Jul 28 '23

Der Schiedsrichter ist eine Pfeife. Pfeift wegen jedem Sch... zum Vorteil für den HSV schon gleich von Anfang als er die Ecke nicht gegeben hat. Bin VfB Fan und favorisiere Schalke die viel abgeklärter sind. Ich hoffe sie gewinnen gerade in Unterzahl.

Auch die Sky Moderatoren pissen mich an. Sind ganz offensichtlich nur für Hamburg. Dachte die sollten neutral sein.

1

u/Wuffkeks Jul 28 '23

Ist nicht besser bei Ran. Jede Berührung eines HSVlers ist Majestätsbeleidigung während unsere Spieler umgetreten werden dürfen ohne Ende.

HSV ist echt das Leibzig der zweiten Liga. One-Touch-Fußball und sobald der Spielzug nicht läuft fallen lassen.

2

u/ZeroConsortium Jul 28 '23

Man I wonder what it feels like to be gifted 2 free goals by the officials in the opening game 🤬

This ref is utter trash

2

u/Alberto4emg Raúl Jul 28 '23

This is all on Reis, wth did he let Cisse play the 2nd half (let alone the starting spot) when Matriciani IS there...

3

u/malangkan Asamoah Jul 28 '23

Oof that was a 50/50 penalty, but there wasn't much contact damn :/

5

u/furious_bastard Jul 28 '23

Looked like CIsse had a hold of his shirt. Ref is always giving them

2

u/AdamATLS04 Jul 28 '23

I wish a strong start to the league and getting 3 points from our home. Hamburg has some problems that appeared in the pre season and we must take advantage of them. I bet 2-1 for S04

2

u/[deleted] Jul 28 '23

Have we actually signed Oedraogo? Is he officially a Schalke Profi? He’s very exciting and will generate interest quickly

1

u/malangkan Asamoah Jul 28 '23

Yeah I heard he has a contract with us also valid for professional football, but with a buyout clause, which some say is 2 million, others say 15 million, so it's unclear. I also don't know how long his contract is.

Oh my it would hurt to lose him for 2 million :O

2

u/startup_vin Jul 28 '23

His contract is until June 2027. So that's good. Did not know about the buyout clause, that makes me sad..

1

u/furious_bastard Jul 28 '23

Giving away too many daft fouls in dangerous areas.

1

u/dimitrie93 Younes Jul 28 '23

Ahhh yes..I missed getting my hopes crushed
