The question on everyone's mind today is: what did we do differently? What was the key to our success?
I'm not sure there's any one answer - but the biggest one in my mind is that we had a shift in attitude, we were more motivated and it showed. Maybe there's just something about playing Schalke that brings it out but we were a different team today than we were against Basel.
Assorted thoughts, in bullet point form:
+ This is the Franck Ribery that we like to see. Fired up, consistent, and chasing down every ball that goes his way. If he played every match like this, we'd be in fantastic shape.
+ The defense works - most of the time. Today, we were clicking. Holger Badstuber has been in particularly good form, although I am baffled as to why he always looks so angry. Someone needs to sit down with a beer.
+ Speaking of form, Thomas Müller needs to find his. Perhaps he should go on a quest, meet some knights in a forest, and ask a favor from a wizard. Jupp Heynckes should tell him he smells of elderberries, maybe that'll help.
+ I really hope you laughed at that.
+ No, I'm not a needy blogger.
+ (Yes, I am).
+ Not much for Manuel Neuer to do but as always, props to him for keeping his cool despite the continued booing from the Schalke faithful.
+ The goal videos for anyone who missed it.
Have a great rest of the weekend, folks.
