Borussia Dortmund (A) - CL QF | Pre-Match Thread

[Chi-town blues]

Piss off

but seriously where’s that bottle from last time ?

 

[Summerbuzz]

2-1 again. KDB and Gundo to get the goals.

Danny Mills on Sky Sports News going on about how surprised he is that Aguero doesn’t play.

He gets worse , why do we have that dick speaking for us

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

I don't feel nervous as much as expectant.

It's time for this side to put up or shut up really. The fans have always been good to them over European success/lack of it. Pep has always taken the blame for them. The club hierarchy has been patient.

Time to stop talking about wanting to win the competition and just go do it, against a much weaker side, struggling massively domestically, gave us loads of chances to kill the game last week.

That's a good word to use, 'expectant'.

Really are running out of excuses not to perform at this level, the players are more than good enough to create history this season.

 

[Don Karleone]

Agree with others regarding the lineup. All I ask is that Pep makes any changes with plenty of time for them to make a difference if it isn't working. Whether they be subs or tactical.

do i need to wear riot gear on the matchday thread,this is only the warm up on here

A lot of pre menstrual tension tonight!

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Pretty good line up on paper. I wouldn't have minded Fern in there also, but apart from that it's probably about as good a team as we can put out.

Has any team ever won it without a striker?

Another first?

 

[Mike Cledford]

Thanks for listening Pep. As long as we don't have Bernardo as the furthest forward wasting his energy closing down forwards instead of where its needed in the middle that'll get the job done.

Thanks for posting the team above to save me having to wade through loads of comments to find it and make my own opinion.
For the mods - could the team be shown say at the start of all the pre match threads or as a rolling post at the end of the thread so people can find it easily?

Pep won it with a false 9. Liverpool won it with Firmino.

 

[MarsLlama]

Zinchenkos lack of pace worries me.

He's no slower than most of that XI

10 minutes in on the match day thread ‘ffs change it Pep it’s not working!

 

[Cornish_Blue]

I can’t see us being allowed to progress no matter how good we are. You only have to look at the comedy spuds game.
UEFArce will want their cash cows RM & PSG in the final. They won’t want to risk us upsetting the applecart.

lol probably

I was counting Messi,Mane,Salah as strikers? I guess they are just as much as Jesus.....oh well.

firming is not a false 9 but rather false brazilian lesbian.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Gonna miss the first half because of work so I'll wait until later tonight to watch it. Happy with that lineup though.

Line up looks like it is the one to hold onto the ball with some pace at the back too.
Fingers crossed we can score first!

We need a bit of luck as well, come on the Dolly Blues.
