Always thought this was going to be the toughest leg and that we will beat them by 2 or 3 goals on their own midding.
Imo gundogan is not good enough unless he is played close to the box or even inside the box. As a midfielder he just does not have the legs. A slow Rodri-Gundo midfield is not what we need. Let him roam freely into the box, as he often solves the situation there very well, scoring a lot, making good decisions.
But we need to give someone to Rodri to work with who helps him to dominate midfield, Gundogan is not that guy imo especially in next few seasons.
Quick, technical CM with big engine.
Other than that the mental block we have when we get t this stage is sad dont know what we really need to shake it off. Hoped last years result beating Real Madrid home and away broke it for us but no because against Lyon we shit ourselves and lost to 8th team in French League.
to carry over the same mentality from PL is what we need, dominant play, making sure we put their defence to test, lot of self confidence, patience in our play and passing.
Instead of nervous feeling, lot of bad passes, fear in our defence, sometimes panic sets in etc.
Some of these clubs are not as strong we struggle against in CL than the ones we beat in PL often.
because this Dortmund lost some very mediocre clubs in Bundesliga so far this season or failed to to beat them. and take Bayern, Leipzig out of that list of course, no wonder they are struggling for top4 when their squad is easily 2nd or 3rd best next to Bayern, Leipzig.

Phew. Rode our luck.
Rodri looked knackered at half time (not surprising given his exploits over the break), give that man a well deserved rest gainst Leeds.
Foden has another few levels to go up, scarily.
Time for Raz to play himself back into the side, we miss his pace.

Thought we looked tired and played like we were afraid of counter. Foden would have been a 10 if he had finished his chances but at least he got a very important goal. Eddie will be disappointed not to have gotten a stronger hand to the goal.
pep will know we got away with more than we deserved today and still in driving seat. Need to score first in Dortmund.

Prime Fernandinho is untouchable, but been a bit of a mixed bag this season imo. Was amazing Saturday but plenty of times Ferna has started this season we have missed the things Rodri do well. If I was the manager next week I'd sacrifice Gundo and play Ferna and Rodders togetherA guy 11/12 years his senior is a far better player in my opinion !! And in that second half he should have come on !!
