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

How has he not rolled this into the middle of the box?? It’s the kind of decision making our front line falls foul of at times.

Damm, I was going to defend Sane but that’s pretty damning. Back to the game at hand, I’m very confident on a victory tonight.

With Stones playing at the weekend Pep may go for Walker Dias Laporte Cancelo back 4

What is the position with Yellow cards? I dont see anything in it between many of the options across the back 4.

If he starts hopefully this Raz turns up tonight.

What a player on his day. Need this Raz back!

For me it's got to be the same team which played in the 1st leg with possibly the exception of Zin in for Cancelo. We surely won't play as bad as we did that day and IMO any improvement in performance will be enough to get the job done. Dortmund are seriously weak at the back, we take a larger percentage of our chances it'll be a rout! confidently going 4-1 to the mighty blues! BRING IT ON!

Thanks, needed a reminder

I haven't looked but I'm pretty sure that even though Laporte has had lots of game time recently when it comes to the biggest games he picks Stones.

I also think he loves Jesus in away CL games. Jesus biggest issue is when we're at home against packed defences. I think he'll fancy him with a bit of space and pressing high.

I think he'll go:

Ederson
Cancelo
Dias
Stones
Zinchenko
Rodri
Gundo
De Bruyne
Mahrez
Foden
Jesus

A real shocker could be Raz in for Mahrez.

With you on Jesus but no way Walker doesn’t start for me.

Dear me, this day is dragging. Getting no work done here, just constantly refreshing threads....

I hope we make a statement today, it would be good for our self-confidence, we just have to finish the goal situations better and then it will be good, we could have scored 3-4 goals in the previous match and then there would be no question for this match, we have to shoot better today.

 

[SuperSilva21]

Remember we just need a draw. Let's not forget we haven't been beaten away in 18 games and won the last 15 on the spin. Plenty of reasons to be positive tonight IMO

 

[Blue Smarties]

So that’s their fans being bellends and their CEO gobbing off.

Fucking put them to the sword, don’t fuck about tonight lads.

Gundogan brace tonight. Remember you heard it here first.
