Borussia Dortmund (A) | CL | Post-Match Thread

Most concerning is the general level of performances in last 4 matches.

Is it the World Cup being so close that we are having players not at 100 percent ?

Not sure - but I think some are certainly not firing on all cylinders for some reason

I said in the match thread that I don’t think we’ve started playing well yet this season. I think most of our team have got one eye on the World Cup.

A couple of very good halves of football here and there is about the best we’ve managed so far this season.

But look where we are in both tables when we haven’t even started playing well yet.

Good result. We finished first place, no problem.

Job done, but that’s an hour and a half of my life that I’ll never get back.

Should have gone looking for @mattcity5 dog.

Pre match post - A draw sees us win the group and guarantees dortmund qualify for the next round so I am pretty sure it will be a draw

I wish I was a betting man.

The penalty situation is totally baffling.
How may times are we going to give them to that joker to miss?
It didn't matter tonight but say that's the final and Haaland is injured?
The number of penalties we miss is ridiculous God help us if we get to penalties in a match.
surely we must have a better plan b than mahtez?

Everyone focusing on Mahrez and he was crap but so was everyone else pretty much. Created very, very little in open play. If the object of the game was a 0-0 then mission accomplished.

 

[shroom]

Did any camera angle ever actually show contact on the Mahrez penalty call?

FFS Foden. absolute gash.

Spot on that. Bored our way to top the group in a way we should have bored our way to the end of the game in Madrid.

We’ve not been boring enough in Europe.

Dortmund were absolutely terrible. Worst I’ve seen from them for years. Good defenders but they had nothing ahead of them.

Hope you’ve got your tin hat on for the Bellingham-philes.

I thought dortmund were a good team known for attacking football ?

Their 2 games against us they have just set up to frustrate us and hopefully snatch one on the counter. I am a bit surprised.

We could have done more but it is what it is, we have topped the group.
