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

[Bill]

That team was enough to win, imho. More than enough. Wasn't for the lack of trying.

obviously not .

 

[Sky Blue]

It was the first two words he said. He'd been put up to it by somebody

Then proceeded to drone on about how disgraceful the penalty was and how PSG will beat us

Yep, heard the rest of his bile.

 

[Bill]

Just heard Hamann on Talkspurs saying it was a "scandalous decision" and we were lucky to go through! Ignoring the fact there was a clear movement of the arm towards the ball after he headed it. It was a pen in any era of football.

it's the hurt we cause that is heart warming.

obviously not .

The second half of last night’s match provided you with the perfect illustration as to why Pep didn’t “pick his best team” as you wanted against Leeds. Did you see how we grew stronger and they faded?

 

[Protein Junkie]

Great result. Balls of granite Mahrez what a fab penalty. Sir Phillip of Foden imperious finish.
Nobody to fear here on in just a shame we couldn’t have another plastic club to join us PSG and Chelsea in the semi to boil even more piss :-)

it was
we are now feared in europe

Absolutely certain we will lose to PSG at the Etihad but hopefully they will lose by more when we beat them in Paris. Home advantage seems to be a disadvantage these days.

No, sorry, not having that. Games get won and lost, on quality, on margins, on luck, on tactics, on poor decisions, despite all of the above, for all sorts of reasons. As Mancini would say, ees football. We lost a game of football. Not because we played ake mendy and torres as the only three non-regulars, but because we conceded 2 tight margin goals and failed to convert chances. Had enough to win it, on another day would have won it. And rested a few key players for the bif run-in in the process.

maybe so but the premier league title is not won just yet
ok we have points in the banked and the squad rotation vs leeds was used but it did not pay off did it

i always think english clubs have the upper hand in fitness and stamina in europe because of the premier league
others league just don't have teams that from top to bottom play you and beat home home or away
its the one thing we have over the others fitness and stamina. add power and skill and its hard to beat

Ian Darke after we equalized “City have managed to pull themselves back into this tie” err we were 3-2 up at that point you bellend
