Borussia Dortmund (H) Post-Match Thread

[Alan Harper's Tash]

UEFA said no national anthems and a massive outpouring of resistance was seen. Get inside the stadium and nothing.
For me now boo the CL and you are an absolute wa**er

Fair enough. UEFA don’t want national anthems before any CL game. Usually only countries like Russia, Turkey and Hungary would even think about playing their anthems regularly.

It was nothing to do with disrespect from UEFA.

I think your decision to call anyone who boos UEFA‘s jingle a wanker will prove to be bad for your standing on the board, but you can’t help how you feel.

Haha, we probably have different definitions of schooling though. We were not decisive enough in the final third and to be fair to dortmund they didn’t make mistakes and defended well enough but that is all they did. If that Reus cross was intended then fair enough, the goal is a worldie but I thought it caught everyone off because it was a shot that bellingham diverted.

I agree.
We were too slow in the 1st half because the selection didn't work.
2nd half, after they scored and we had the subs on, you could feel things building, but, when that equaliser came, it was another Vinny v Leicester moment - right out of the blue. Then, we had the momentum, and you know that the Viking only needs 1 chance....
The ball from Cancello was brilliant but just too high. The Viking beast was the only footballer playing at the top level these days who could have made something of it. The finish was unbelievable. I haven't cheered 2 goals like that for at least - errr - a couple of weeks!
No, seriously great goals, no matter that some may say that the goalie was too static.
Happy days.
Onto Molyneux we go......

Never in doubt

There was a slight swerve/movement on it as well that’s what did the keeper

Yep, swerve, dip, pace. Vinnie would have been proud of that. I am an old (older) git, and Erling's goal reminded me of one of our players of yesterday albeit he played for our neighbours as well - Denis Law. Denis would throw incredible body shapes to get on the end of high crosses. We had Sergio and now Erling - how lucky are we as fans.....

Jack is starting to frustrate me

I've been his biggest supporter mate but fuck me, he had my head in my hands today.

 

[HarrytheBlue]

Pep surely has to try something different with Jack as it isn't really working just yet.

They doubled up on Jack - happens all the time - it's a compliment. Just needs that moment of magic - a Stones type goal to get the show on the road. He's giving it everything.

Randomly walked down the new road with Michael Brown having a chat on the way out. You can tell it’s just a job to him. Very matter of fact.

Interesting, so no real love for City coming through then?

 

[HarrytheBlue]

Gundo and Kev were equally as bad as Jack and Mahrez

Even on on a day when not everything comes off, Kevin has an assist. So I wouldn't criticise - gives it everything every game.

I mean it was a fleeting minute’s chat with a randomer, but he wasn’t gushing with praise or hyper-critical.

I had more fun listening to him chat with his producer, where he was asking if they went for his co-commentary on Haaland’s goal etc.

I actually missed the John Stones goal in real time, I had turned my head to pick up a cup of tea.

From the slow motion it looked like it was down to poor goalkeeping. When you watch it a normal speed, it was a hellacious shot. I think it reached the goalkeeper before he realised the ball had been struck because it was going at such speed.
