BT going on about Bellingham again… he did absolutely nothing in the last hour of that game.

Dortmund were great apparently.

Thought they were shit tbh. Defensive and played on the break at home without pressing hoping to score from a defensive mistake and transition using 2 rapid kids to run in behind. Created 1 good chance all night. Fucking poor if you ask me. We just did what we had to do. If they score, KDB comes on and we up the tempo by 2 gears. Instead we just coasted and played keep ball. Tedious to watch but meh, top of the group.

They were alright. They played like a lower half premier league team like Palace.

3 at the back, 5 defensively placed midfielders including 2 pacy wide ones with a striker. All of their strength was in the middle.

They were more vulnerable in wider areas, which we didn’t exploit.

Not that it matters. Job done. Should have won 1-0 and moved on.

Winning the 4 matches that matter is all that matters now before relaxing until Xmas.

Tied to get Ruben booked/sent off

But he's really mature for a 19 year old! Well worth £100m.

The first half was poor and even though we had endless possession they looked like the team more likely to score. We were better in the second half but still didn't create a huge amount. We really do need to sort out a hierarchy of penalty takers that doesn't include Mahrez. That is two on the trot now in champs league games, when you don't have many chances full stop you need to be putting those away. Still, top of the group, hope KDB, Silva and Haaland are fit for the weekend.

Job done. Why would we want to make the play when a draw allows us to top the group. It was up to Dortmond to take chances, not us.

It’s not BS, but it’s not the be all and end all either.

Their chances in the first half made those stats.

It showed a draw was right for that game in the end.

True you do enjoy the city and the trip but you want to at least see a decent competitive game.

How was the game not competitive, why are you even sure the players didn’t give their best.

It is not always easy to score when there are 8 dortmund players in the box. We have qualified and are first, move on

Yes, a lot of the pre match talk about him too but I thought we contained him very well. I don't remember him doing much at all to be honest.
