Game of the weekend goes to Schalke-Dortmund, for its insane tempo.
How come?! Schalke were sloppy in possession and shaky at the back. Dortmund pressed hard and just did whatever they wanted. It was obvious from the first half that dortmund are gonna win without much of a trouble..
Imo Barca vs Real was better and more intense. Chelsh!t-Mansh!tty was good too, it dropped intensity after the 1-1 but when Mou went for the win in the end it picked up.

Schalke wasnt good yeah, but in overall liked the tempo of the game, mainly for Dortmund as you said. Classico should be more intense then Ruhr derby, but I expected better footballing wise.

Big blunder by him, but lets not forget, wtf was Joe Hart doing coming out like that? No reason for him to do that.
Exactly. Nastasic shouldve been more calm on the ball, but what is the keeper doing on the edge of the box when its obvious that the defender is going to reach the ball first?!?

I'm not sure which of the two were more at fault, but I've no idea what Hart was doing. Having said that a more experienced defender than Nastasic would have read the error and just put the ball out for a corner.
Definitely Hart's fault. What the heck was he doing rush out that far out of his box, and what was he planning to do even if he got to the ball first?

I agree that the ball should have been put out for a corner, but Hart 1) made the wrong choice 2) failed to communicate his intentions.

Which is why you need experienced players around the talent you are trying to integrate. Nastasic is "allowed" to make mistakes, Hart is not.

Fault has to mostly go to Hart.

There was no danger at all until he came racing out.

Now, Nastasic should still have done better, but he wasn't responsible for the situation being made difficult.
