Eugene Rupinski, Brotherly Game) The Fire seem to be doing just fine with Bastian Schweinsteiger out injured. Who has stepped up the most to help the team in his absence?
Sean Spence, Hot Time In Old Town) The Fire aren't a sinking ship without Schweinsteiger, true - but with the German legend, the Men in Red are a much more formidable collective, flexible and commanding. The Fire you'll see tonight (in Schweinsteiger's absence, which we are given to understand will continue) don't shapeshift to confound opposition tactics, or consistently hit 70-yard switches that open play.
