Still alive

Phew. CL Match day 4 came and went and Stuttgart have lived to talk about it. We saw a bit of everything in this game, much to discuss. I’m gonna take this one in bullet form as I wrote things down during the game.
-I’ve never seen a team collectively look so overwhelmed [...]
And then there were 2

Well, Stuttgart have officially flamed out of one competition already this year, falling to SpVgg Greuther Fürth 1-0 in the Pokal, with the other 2 in critical condition. Same story, different day. Threaten, but never score. Give up a goal early on during one of the limited attacks from a momentary lapse [...]
Tough loss, encouraging signs

Well, that kinda sucked. Can’t help but feel a bit empty after coming out with such a spirited effort and coming away with nothing. Make no mistake about it, Stuttgart were the better team on the pitch last night. They completely dominated possession and dictated the pace of the game, especially throughout [...]
Mediocrity continues

Stuttgart’s latest defeat at the hands of Werder Bremen 2-0 sink them lower down the table yet again. Bremen struck early on and never really looked back. Stuttgart had a few decent chances in the first half but weren’t able to capitalize. And yet again, as they’ve done so many times this year, Stuttgart came [...]
Unirea Urziceni 1 VfB Stuttgart 1: Another disappointing result
By: Pete | 1 Comment
Apologies not writing sooner; site upgrade difficulties. And trying to calm down from another lackluster performance. Deep breaths. Another CL opportunity squandered. Stuttgart could easily have come out of these first 2 matches with 6 points but instead sit in 2nd place with a measly 2 points and they now have [...]
Drab affair ends in nil-nil draw

Beautiful football this was not. Die Schwaben were not able to capitalize on home field advantage due largely to a Nürnberg side content to sit 10 men back and try to steal one with counterattacks. It was quite a different look than that seen on Wednesday against Timisoara with 5 changes in the [...]
Two for one

At first, I didn’t want to say anything at all about the UEFA-Cup qualifier against Györ, because it wasn’t enough of a football match to be commented on as such, despite the 2:1 win. But now I found an opportunity to talk about both that match and the first Bundesliga game in Mönchengladbach, by [...]
Learning from the big ones

First Jens Lehmann moved from London to Stuttgart, then Arsenal dropped by for a test match, and now the influence from the island shows in new training methods: Armin Veh will only let the players train once a day, as opposed to two training units per day as before. “Arsene Wenger does the same with [...]
Letting the expert speak
By: Anna | 5 Comments
As a club’s own website is not always the most reliable source for un-biased information (see the comments to my latest post) and I didn’t have the chance to form my own opinion about Stuttgart’s performance yesterday, I’ll leave the comments to someone who is slightly more honest about the match: Ludovic Magnin (apologies [...]
Hope is our enemy… or not?

Last week the VfB Stuttgart had retreated to a short training camp at Burg Staufeneck to be able to focus on the match against Bielefeld, which would decide whether this season would end as frustrating as it started, or if there would at least be the comfort of the UEFA-Cup.
The plan was to try out [...]
