Borussia Dortmund (H) | CL | Post Match Thread

[Brightwell Bros.]

Could be this season or next season, but this group of players could do something really special. Come on, Pep, you're not ready for the golf course yet. Just a few more years.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Pep’s got his happy face back.

[Dazzle84]

We're winning the fucking lot

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

That's why we signed him - it's what he does

He’s had an amazing impact

Poor first 10 mins. Excellent after that until Dortmund brought fresh legs on at around 70 mins and from then we looked leggy. Improved again when we made subs but I really have no idea why Guardiola left it so long to make the changes. It was obvious that a few players were running on empty and we started making careless mistakes again. We had good options from the bench that we could use, so why make the subs earlier instead of letting them (slightly) back into the match?

I thought Pep was too late with the substitutions as well

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Very good win v a team with only 1 defeat this season, 2-1 at Munich but concerning how we went from a very comfortable 3-0 to them almost getting back to 3-2 and a possible comeback

And for context i dont think Bayern have ever been behind in any game this year

 

[East Level 2]

Worse second half of the season....

You missed Brighton?

 

[Gundoggin]

Sublime at times tonight.
Our bench super strong again .
Exciting times are here again strap yourself in for the ride !

Pep would definitely want more control, I'm sure, but Dortmund were never totally on top at any point.

Well if anybody wanted proof that xG is the most contrived, pointless stat yet, there it is.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Not to sound like a sourpuss but my god Savinho is unbelievably ignoring to watch. Ryan Cherki come on and makes an immediate impact

How sad it must be to be you.

I'm not too keen on the Afrika Korps logo.

Explain?

 

[Gundoggin]

Oh and Cherki deffo has a bit of Tevez about him .

Explain?

Such a downer. Savinho had one of his best games, we won 4-1 and that’s your contribution.

I know he's the villain of the month, not unfairly perhaps, but he had a decent game. Especially first half.

 

[half & half derby scarf]

A good performance, but it's almost like a second half collapse is expected now.

Are you a Dortmund fan?

Same thing happened (except we weren't already 3 up). We were in total control, they brought on fresh legs and outran us. Our changes came too late and it cost us. Obviously it didn't today but Guardiola really needs to react a bit quicker when we have some players looking a bit leggy and the opposition bring on 3 or 4 fresh players. It's not like we didn't have decent options on the bench.
