Borussia Dortmund (H) | CL | Post Match Thread

Entertaining game, with four very good goals. Lot's of good performances but if I'm allowed a whinge I wish we didn't switch off defensively nearly every game we play and allow a soft goal, although it was a nice finish from the lad, but the cross got into the box far too easily for my liking.
Agreed. For the last third of the game we were extremely sloppy .
 
Can’t agree with this, we were poor last season with Ederson. Dona is a far better keeper.
In any case, he’s what we’ve got and he’s playing brilliantly
We were poor last season, no doubt, but I'm speaking specifically about us playing it out from the back, which at times tonight, we simply couldn't do. It was never that bad under Ederson.

For 65 minutes that was a very good performance, but then we seemed to get a bit complacent and switched off and Dortmund for 15 to 20 mins caused us problems.

I thought Foden was immense tonight and I love the way he seems to caress the ball into the net. Doku put in another impressive show and caused Dortmund problems all night.
 
[QUOTE="HowleyBlue, post: 18736427,


Why is Ronaldo shown as a united player in that list ? Surely he got most of his goals for Madrid.

Just checked. Only 21 of those goals were for United and he doesn't currently play for them so the only excuse forv even mentioning them is to shoehorn them into a discussion about world class goalscorers
[/QUOTE]

Messi listed as Psg player etc. Probably the last teams they played or scored in cl.
 
What?

He was brilliant. Sav had the Dortmund RWB shitting himself every time he had the ball. Savinho utterly destroyed him.

If you don’t think Savio had a good game, maybe you’re watching the wrong sport.
Just because I think Savinho didn't do well at all doesn't mean you should judge that i shouldn't watch football

A bit harsh if you ask me

You can disagree but I wouldn't say the same thing to you if.you thought differently
 
So glad we've stopped dropping our pants with that insane high line and surprise surprise - we are looking really good and also dangerous on our own counters as well.

2 brilliant fullbacks and a bossing keeper. Wonderful.
 
Cherki is fantastic but he's not a winger..better playing more in the middle
He's great coming in off the right, played there a lot for Lyon, played on the right on Sunday and Bournemouth didn't have a scooby how to deal with how fluid City were with Cherki and Foden's movement from the right hand side of our attack.
 
Good performance on the whole against a very energetic but very limited side.

Some lovely goals and some class performances.

If we’d really wanted to put in a full performance like that first hour we’d have scored about 7 tonight. But, like Villarreal away, the last half hour was just an energy saving exercise… we didn’t need to do much more.

Phil deserves his song belting out in the stands, it’s disrespectful to him that we don’t sing it.

Nothing came off him

Cherki comes on for less time than him and made sometime happen (scoring)

Savinho did make things happen - created two shots for Haaland & Foden that had to be saved, caused his FB to be carded and I'm fairly sure it was his driving with the ball that precded both the first goal as well.

I'm more than happy to praise Cherki, but Savinho also caused Dortmund problems.
