Schalke goes down 4-0 against Leverkusen – fan reactions: Anger at Kramer is growing

A coaching effect on both sides, but of a different nature: Bayer Leverkusen deliberately appeared on the sidelines with new coach Xabi Alonso and played in front of their home crowd with a lot of control and some good and fast advances. At Schalke, Frank Kramer held on to the double lead of Simon Terodde and Sebastian Polter, while the focus was again on long balls.

The 4-0 home win is well deserved from the Werkself’s point of view. A few moves including solid individual actions were enough to score the first two goals in the first half. In the second 45 minutes, Leverkusen slowed down significantly and still scored the third and fourth goals. Despite the significantly lower intensity of the Alonso team, S04 never managed to become dangerous in front of the opposing goal.

Once again, the statistics speak a clear language for the royal blue: a single shot on goal, which was also harmless. Not created a great chance. Almost exactly 200 fewer passes played, of which only 77 percent arrived. But in numerical advantage with long balls, but then again not qualitatively: Only 43 percent of the high passes found the teammate. In addition, only six dribbles in the whole 90 minutes, two of which were successful.

It is still becoming apparent: While Kramer does not get the defense stabilized, the offensive remains completely harmless. Because VfL Bochum beat Eintracht Frankfurt at the same time, Schalke is only two points away from 18th place. In addition, VfB Stuttgart can overtake on Sunday.

Fan anger becomes clearer – first “Kramer raus!” calls in the stadium
