Match Thread | B. Dortmund vs Man City (14/04/21)

[bluemoon32]

Come on City, we can beat the 5th best side in Germany

 

[Franny's toilet roll]

Cünt has done fuck all this match. Been nailed out by crossbar, Bellingham and got lucky with his ankle to stop an own goal.

ok i get it you're calling him a clown Brian

 

[AlexGrimaldo]

Time for Pep to earn his corn and sort it out. Right side needs to step up or be changed. Could do with Fern in to replace Rodri who's been marked out of the game

Agree.. For me Fernandinho should played since beginning... And Cancelo should enter

 

[BlueAnorak]

Like Leeds - Turgid. Not moving the ball quickly enough.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Cancelo and Jesus on ASAP, please.

And not in the 89th minute when we’re still 1-0 down

 

[wolviedinho]

Only 3/4 players have turned up the rest are playing like they are scared shitless.

 

[Kippax77]

Rodri is just pointless sometimes. Get him off

Like an oak tree playing 5 a side

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Switch Phil and Bernard and get Raz on for Mahrez.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Our own fault, an insipid start from us and ceding possession too easily to them....them scoring first so early was the result

 

[Ric]

The big worry with us is that we rarely turn it around when we go behind. Got a feeling it will be another one of those nights where we end up rueing missed opportunities.

 

[Josh_D]

Why is everything going through zinchenko? Foden had their wing back on toast last week, not been in the game so far. We play far too slowly sometimes, its painful.

They doubled up anytime he got it. They know it, and we know that Foden would skin their fullback. He’s coming inside and Zinchenko going out wide but he’s not utilising the ball. In those scenarios I’d rather have Cancelo as he can beat a man and plays some occasional good crosses when he cuts in. Pep just needs to ram it home that he shouldn’t be complacent with his passing and such.

 

[Northblue]

Danger now is them getting a second against the run of play, we’re still well in this at 0-1

 

[MichaelFrontzeck'sBathroom]

Ferna on for rodri and jesus on for Bernardo

Might as well go for it now

 

[iceman]

We are not as good as we are led to believe

 

[SamBlue]

Brave subs pep: Gundo/Bernie off for gabby and sterling. We are at walking pace. The pattern of play is all over the place. Get runners into the game. Big team talk coming up.

What do you mean walking up pace? They are 10 sitting behind the ball. What did you want, to be 3 down at the half time? This is going to be like LU all over again, I say play cautiously at lest until 65 minute. But I agree, Bernardo up is just not working. I am just not sure what do I expect from these CL games, there is this massive mental block.

 

[lancs blue]

Bring Sterling on, their RB is dodgy

 

[domalino]

God that was an unlucky deflection.

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

How was it avoidable ?

swarm them in the box like they've done to us all game, don't give them opportunity to get into the box, close him down properly and then if you get a hand to it, keep it out.

 

[christened at st marks]

Wouldn't mind Laporte on and put Stones in DM for the carthorse

 

[Homar]

They look the more dangerous side. Aside from Kevin and Phil, we just don’t look threatening. We need to get Jesus on and drop Kevin further back, where he can influence the game more. Wouldn’t be a bad idea to get Cancelo on either.

I know we’ve done well in the league this season, but the UCL shows you where you really are among the best sides in Europe. We don’t measure up offensively. We’re lacking players that can deliver those moments of brilliance. Only Kevin shows up consistently.
