Dortmund out of the title race that early in the season. Complete tactical failure of mastermind Klopp in first 30 minutes

Happy days

BVB saving their cup final performances for the CL and seem to be suffering domestically for it like Napoli last season. Deeper squad needed?

Dortmund are in a position now where they have to give the Champions League a full on go, after winning the Bundesliga twice in a row along with a few domestic trophies, the European Cup is the next step - risks must be taken, even if the league is forfeited.

Dortmund showing that you cannot play their football style that needs so much energy twice a week without having big injury troubles and with full concentration on all events. Kuba, who was the guarantee for their wins this season, is 6 weeks off. Götze is again of with muscle problems. Gündogan is off. Schmelzer is off.

There are two matches in the Bundesliga that are first priority for Dortmund - Schalke and Bayern... So they certainly do not save their energy in such a match...

Mandzukic scores again! Gomez can't get a sniff at the moment.

Gomez has been injured since the summer.

Any chance this lot won't be back by December 6th? :)

The league will have been forfeited by January if they keep playing like they are atm. Nobody will stop Bayern winning the BL this season, not even BVB, if they lose in Munich in December they may as well give up.

How do you rate your chances in the European Cup this year mate?

3rd best team behind Real and Barca, surely you can see them getting to the final?

Bayern look a class above the rest in Germany at the moment and look more determined than ever to regain the title.

What struck me about the Dortmund performance at City was the energy levels of their players. They pressed City all over the pitch.

Clearly they can't do that every week.

Whilst Dortmund must have even more focus on the Champions League now, it must be good for City that their form and surely confidence must be taking a knock

Behind Real? I can understand Barca but Bayern eliminated Real last season (and also dominated them in both games, the score was rather flattering for Real) and what has Real shown on international level in the last 10 years that deserves to put them above Bayern who reached the CL finale two times in three years?
