Borussia Dortmund Vs City (CL) Pre Match Thread

[Carstairs]

If there is a chance of geting into the Europa League, I'd like for us to go for it. After all, there are only so many cups to go around, and you have to be in it to win it.

I can't understand the mentality of not wanting to win every game.

i dont see point in fielding a strong team. even if we do win whats to say ajax will lose against a madird team who can only finish 2nd place and will undoubtably field a wekaer team. imagine how we would feel if we gave 100% into beating dortmund and ajax get a result in madrid. just my opinion. reserves for me

We're gonna get absolutely stuffed

Don't they get cheap tickets because the taxpayers are forced to subsidise them?

No, we get cheap tickets because that's what the clubs charge. Bayern for instance charge the earth for the fans renting boxes etc because they can afford it, the savings are then passed on to the fans behind the goals via cheap tickets.

Dortmund have as good as said that they are fielding a weakened team.

Teams according to kicker :

BVB 09

Weidenfeller

Pisczek
Santana
Hummels
Schmelzer

Gündogan
Leitner
Blaszyzykowski
Götze
Reus

Schieber

Man City

Pantillmon

Zabaleta
Lescott
Nastasic
K.Toure

Garcia
Barry
Milner
Nasri
Sinclair

I doubt it, Dortmund already have their thoughts on the weekend and won't really be up for this game.

Dortmund's team that you have put up there isn't THAT weak in fairness. Santana & Scheiber perhaps, but Leitner isn't a bad player and the other 8 are genuine first teamers.

I think City will play one of Aguero or Tevez because I don't think both will start against United at the weekend and I do think Mancini would like EL qualification.

So the government doesn't subsidise the bundesliga then?

 

[smithy]

After today's press conference, it is more less obvious that Dortmund will play a full B-Team. Definitely no Kehl, Bender and Subotic which means that they don't have a real defensive midfielder in the team, and likely no Goetze, Blaszczykowski and Piszczek.
