Borussia Dortmund (H) Post-Match Thread

What percentage of Pep would’ve preferred a draw so he didn’t have to face another barrage of mindless questions about Haaland

Good recovery but that was a car crash of a selection from Pep tonight

Big game early doors Saturday was always gonna rotate.

We all want him to deliver. Most have given him the 1st season as him getting used to our play. Now he has to step up to the mark and he won’t do it if he keeps doing the same things. This is what frustrates.

He’s been injured.

Haaland had one ball into the area where he's deadly -that's all it took.

You can blame Pep for putting out a starting 11 that simply looked slow and short of energy. The pressing simply wasn’t good. The three subs proved that.

But the game always needed the unexpected goal. Stones doing a Kompany. Who would’ve thought that at such a moment.

Haaland scored a freak goal. And these two moments is what was needed. Because Dortmund defended very well. And dictated the tempo. Let us have the ball so they could defend according to plan. That’s up until the 1-1. Or moreso after Dortmund brought on another CD.

Feel very relieved to get away with 3 points. Credit to Dortmund.

Rodri's reaction to Haalands goal is brilliant

 

[Tevez City]

Lets hope Pep will stick with Foden, Haaland & Alvarez from now on.

How bad were we? Bloody Nora!

That first half and start of second half was like watching grass grow. Nothing was working and it was ssllooww!

Dortmund were bang average n’all and we were making them look much better than they were with Grealish and Mahrez up top, both Grealish and Cancelo on the left, Stones as right half, no mobility anywhere, de Bruyne thinking he played for Dortmund (just kept giving them the ball).

Bernardo Silva was the best player on the pitch by a country mile. Made everyone else’s contributions look a total joke (both teams).

Then John Seedorf stepped up



And a great bit of play from Cancelo and Daniel Son

Jude Bellingham… don’t believe the hype! City’s worst performance for about 20 months and all he did all night was get on the end of one cross.

One of the worst films ever committed to, er, film. Even the sight of a young Elizabeth Shue can't redeem it!

Deadliest striker we’ve seen in the modern era and we are only 8/9 games in, crackers
