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

[Ribchester]

They’ve scored too early, the game has become more dangerous for them now, they are the team who risk losing everything.

 

[SWP's back]

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.

We rarely win when behind. Luckily we only need a draw tonight or a high scoring one goal loss....

 

[RandomJ]

I'd rather see Torres get on the pitch over Sterling or Gabby. At least he can stick the ball in the net semi-reliably.

 

[Don Karleone]

Still well in this game. Big second half coming up

 

[Indaparkside]

Just got back from York away, what’s this champions league lark

 

[levets]

Bullshit. If a 7 year old stone what he done on a Sunday morning you would give him a giving out to ffs

Get your lips off Stones ass.

He did what he’s supposed to do... hold him up. They got a lucky deflection. However the goal arose out of our lazy press, KDB harried their defence but our midfield didn’t push up. Blaming Stones is lazy

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

Bring Sterling on, their RB is dodgy

yeah, all we need is to relive Lyon all over again.

 

[The1nvisibleMan]

Realistically where do we go from here if we go out? I know we can turn it around but what can we do at that point?

 

[abu13]

I think we have played quire well, their goal was very well taken but I would say we have been the better team. Dortmund are chasing everything an will tire as the game goes on.

I am still confident we will come through this, we just need to keep the door shut as we push forward.

 

[bluealf]

St Jude is in the house

 

[Blu1]

Need raz on now no point waiting 25 mins pep. Stick him up front & drop Kev a bit deeper to ping it around. He has to change it NoW

 

[heslops barnet]

Switch Phil and Bernard and get Raz on for Mahrez.

With the way Raz has been playing?

 

[idahoblues]

We’ve got this 2-1

 

[Blu3m00n91]

What can we even change tho that’s the worry. There’s a reason Jesus and Sterling are benched cause they’ve been fucking crap. Just pass to KDB and believe

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

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

We need a goal, doesn't change much (beyond the thought of extra time).

 

[Tricky_Trev]

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

Either way we still only need 1 goal to stay in the tie. If a minor miracle happens and we get 2, they need 4. We have to fucking go for it. It’s depressing to go out with barely any shots.

 

[Two Gun Bob]

Denied by a crossbar and a solid wall of yellow. Fortune favours the brave, keep up the pressure and hopefully we can seize the day.

 

[Kippax77]

Fuck it Domestic Treble twice then lads haha.

Some tweaks and we beat this shower of shit.

Who the fuck is that Haaland geezer

 

[supercity88]

We only need a goal but they're solid defensively and we're just playing from side to side and then back again before losing the ball.

Need someone to make more of an effort to carry the ball and run into space in behind and play some less predictable passes in the final third.

They'll always be a danger on the break but we can risk that to get our equaliser. 2-1 takes us to extra time where another goal would put us in the driving seat. If we go 2-0 down our job is the same, get another goal. So it's time to throw a bit more forwards and mix things up.

Our record from being behind at half time isn't great but a draw will do so I'm staying positive. My god am I nervous though. Come on blues!

 

[BlindEyeSeesAll]

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

I agree with the Fern bit
