Match preview: VfB Stuttgart v Hertha Berlin

By: Pete | Comments 3 Comments

After what seemed another ridiculously long international break we’re back once again, and facing an opponent that can hopefully kickstart the club with a positive domestic result. For all the troubles Stuttgart have had this year thus far Hertha have fallen even further (4th place last year, dead last this year.) But it’ll [...]

Happy 40th Jens, and other miscellaneous stuff

By: Pete | Comments 2 Comments

A very happy 40th birthday wish to Jens Lehmann; enjoy the break.

After a spiritless 0-0 draw away to M’gladbach Stuttgart will have some time to recover from injuries and fatigue. The spotlight of glaring deficiencies seems to have shifted a bit from defensive lapses and now shines brightly on the current goal scoring drought. [...]

VfB Stuttgart 0 FC Bayern Munich 0

By: Pete | Comments No Comments

Not the most exciting match in the world but at least Stuttgart were able to come out with a point from it. After a spirited first 15 minutes or so from the home side things began to cool down a bit. Big props to Butt for making a bunch of big saves early [...]

VfB Stuttgart. FC Bayern Munich. Saturday.

By: Pete | Comments No Comments

Saturday’s clash home against Bayern Munich is roughly the 1/3 mark of the season. With 6 losses already on the campaign it doesn’t take a mathematician to figure out that if there’s any hope to qualify for CL or Europa next year the bleeding must stop now. When they won it all just [...]

Tough loss, encouraging signs

By: Pete | Comments 3 Comments

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 [...]

9 games. 2 wins. Enough said.

By: Pete | Comments No Comments

In-form Schalke nipped all 3 points in Stuttgart with a 2-1 victory over Die not-so-mighty Schwaben. Despite Stuttgart’s best efforts they find themselves coming away with nothing and tied with 3 other teams for relegation zone status…yikes.
It seems Babbel’s grand shuffle of the starting XI wasn’t the right concoction this time around either. [...]

Match preview: VfB Stuttgart v Schalke 04

By: Pete | Comments 1 Comment

Beginning to sound like a broken record but here’s yet another vitally important game for Stuttgart, at home, vs Schalke. Ah how we’ve come full circle. Just about a year ago Babbel began his glorious campaign against Schalke. Stuttgart won 2-0. Things were full of such promise.
Cut to a year later. [...]

Mediocrity continues

By: Pete | Comments No Comments

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 [...]

Rant Box: VfB Stuttgart v Werder Bremen

By: Pete | Comments 6 Comments

I have to apologize; like the team I stumbled a bit with a game every 3 days. A bit late posting this but better late than never ja?
Big game today; the green whites have looked strong all year domestically and even more so in European play. It’s also yet another test to compete [...]

Unirea Urziceni 1 VfB Stuttgart 1: Another disappointing result

By: Pete | Comments 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 [...]
