Bayern pummels Schalke 5:1, Robben scores a hat trick

Arjen Robben led the charge against FC Schalke 04, beating them 5:1 thanks to his hat trick. On the other hand, this game could have been a bigger blowout, had keeper Fährmann not produced a high number of quality saves.

First half: my apologies

I am incredibly sorry for having predicted a win by one goal. I was sure that Schalke would rebound after a disastrous loss against Real Madrid and challenge Bayern.

Let’s admit that the first goal by Alaba was very lucky at the beginning of the game. It was nothing but a big deflection. Schalke made a few key passing mistakes and turned the ball over in FCB’s favour.

The Reds were calm and controlling in the midfield, with Bastian Schweinsteiger and Toni Kroos sending passes everywhere with patience against a super conservative Schalke defence. The line of defence went up. The attack started mostly on the right, with throughballs, notably from Toni Kroos. At playmaker, Thiago drifted left and right according to his moods while Kroos was looking for the killer pass. He delivered many of them to Robben and Mandzukic.

Schalke applied pressure only when the scoreline was 2:0, but it was a little late. At that point, Kroos was able to pass accurately in the middle of a crowd and Alaba and Robben were tearing up the wings. Mario Götze was a bit more quiet, but the players near him were doing the job. Mario Mandzukic missed a couple of quality chances, but he was getting unmarked easily and often.

My only criticism is about the last 5 minutes of the first half. The defence fell asleep and conceded both shots and corners. Not being stupid, they tested Neuer with three late shots. Which he saved brilliantly.

Second half: robbed

The second half wasn’t as busy as the first, FCB coming back to defend whenever needed. They passed the ball around with a bit more aggressivity starting in the 55th minute, waiting for an opening. They still created chances with crosses, S04 seemingly unable to defend against them.

Fährmann robbed FCB on many occasions during that half. It could have been at least an 8:1 game.

The red card to Papadopoulos brings us once again to the “last man” rule, when the last defender who stops a scoring chance forces a penalty AND earns a red card. It’s still harsh.

The spin

Bayern played well today. Its passing game was strong, with speed and accuracy that Schalke was unable to match. Only 5 minutes could be considered bad at the end of the first half. FCB was “unlucky” that the opposite keeper was in form and it took its foot off the gas a bit in the second half. Man of the match: Arjen Robben with a hat trick and tearing up the decence all night long.

Lineups

Tactical analysis: the Bayern passing that killed Schalke

Bayern Schalke analysis: whether they were watching the game or actually putting Bayern under pressure, the Reds’ passing game absolutely killed the Royal Blues on Saturday. Among other things, Robben was made central to the Bavarian tactics.

Tactical points

Schalke lined up its players defensively, playing very conservative football with little pressure. Kroos, Schweinsteiger and Thiago had plenty of space before the last third of the pitch, but they had to build plays patiently to avoid being intercepted.

On the left side of Schalke’s defence, Kolasinac and Matip were the targets of Bayern’s runs and passes for a good part of the game. The following early play shows how Rafinha found Robben on the right wing, and the Dutchman would outrun his opponent and create a scoring chance.

Toni Kroos had another excellent game and he also went for Robben on the right. The winger’s pace combined with the accuracy of the passes drilled giant holes in the Schalke defence. On the following play, the ball is going towards him to go behind the defence. Julian Draxler had to track back to stop him.

Schalke only realized what was going on when they were down 0:2. They stepped up the pressure to reduce the amount of time Bayern had to make plays.

But that didn’t stop the hosts. FCB shifted gears to give itself a split second advantage. On the following play, Thiago seems covered, but he gets ready to relay the ball to Götze, who would go on a run to threaten the Schalke keeper.

Robben sometimes drifted left to do the same thing. On the following play, he does just enough to escape his mark and send Alaba down the left wing.

Schalke had a few good moments in the first half but Bayern responded with good defensive work. On the following, the Reds were beaten on a run, but they tracked back very quickly, only leaving a shooting option to the shoot straight to Neuer, who found it easy to save.

Schalke sometimes wanted to surprise Bayern but defenders overloaded the middle and the area, forcing the pass towards the wing.

But then, Javi didn’t give them a chance, making a perfect tackle.

Schalke’s left flank was so weak that Goretzka had to do the same thing than Draxler. The winger came back to defend, only to see Robben beating him one on one.

Bayern’s defence was more robust. Once again, the middle was overloaded with players, making it hard to penetrate the area to get anywhere near Neuer.

Remember how Franck Ribéry and Robben worked like madmen to defend last season? It is clear that the team was instructed to do that again and Arjen answered.

Bayern did make a mistake here and there, though. As they did last week, defenders (in this case Javi) went a bit too high, leaving space for a pass behind them. On this play, Schweinsteiger has to challenge Draxler to prevent a good scoring chance.

How Bayern scored

I won’t comment the first goal. It was just an unlucky deflection for Schalke on Alaba’s free kick. Nothing that reflected a plan or weakness.

First Robben goal. Taking advantage of Schalke’s weak left side once again. Mandzukic pivots and passes to the Dutchman who sprints forward. He will chip it past the advancing keeper.

Mandzukic goal. You should never allow Luigi to have a free header. Never. Never. Alaba’s perfect high cross was obviously going to be converted.

Second Robben goal. That was mistake by a Schalke defender. When Robben is in his favourite shooting position on the right wing, you have to challenge him more aggressively. He was given enough space to beat Fährmann, in deadly fashion.

Third Robben goal on a penalty. A gift from Kevin Prince Boateng, who surprised his teammates by passing back unexpectedly, forcing a foul on Mandzukic in the area.

Statistical points

pa koliko je ono mandukic ima udaraca na gol, pa lik je nevjerovatan, i opet oni idu kupovat levandovskog ma nije mi jasno nikako
