I’m in 100% agreement with the first part of your post, we would be mounting an insurrection if we’d had that goal disallowed. But, can’t say the second part of your post is accurate.

That's a polite way to put it, on the second part.I’m in 100% agreement with the first part of your post, we would be mounting an insurrection if we’d had that goal disallowed. But, can’t say the second part of your post is accurate.
Hence the edit...Let me stop you there... read the opening line of my post again.

On second thought I'd actually prefer us playing an English team in these CL knockout games. At least we played our normal style against Liverpool and Spurs. Dortmund would struggle massively to remain in top 8 in PL and we'd brush them aside in that competition but in CL they somehow look like the equal of us and worst we play tactics and lineups we don't normally play 90%. They are not close to us in quality, far from it. Let's just get through the next match and get a decent result. A decent result will see us through. I'm quitely confident will play much better in SF and Finals if we reach there.
Deleting it!It's disappeared now... what was the edit?

Not job done yet but if we can get an all important away goal I can't see us conceding twice.
Not correct. They win 2-1 means extra time rather than win on away goalsGreat result.
Don't care about their away goal.
We are going to score one at Dortmund anyways, so it makes no difference to me.
Phil unhappy after his goal because he knew he should have scored more, warrior mentality.
Better than a normal 2-1 home win as no fans. Cant underestimate the neutralising impact of thatDefinitely favors us.
They have to win.
We can draw 0-0

Plenty of people saying they have to come out and go at us in the Second Leg don’t seem to understand European two-legged football!
They need ONE GOAL to advance. They could have scored more than a couple tonight!
I think the return fixture will be a tight game. We need to stop them scoring, whilst trying to score ourselves, while their priority for the first half, possible 60 minutes, is DON’T LET CITY SCORE!
We see this all the time against lower clubs in the PL. They come to the Etihad, play 10-1 and don’t even come out of their shell if we score! Why? Because they know it’s only a 1 goal game and they still have to stop us from scoring for an hour BEFORE THEY CAN TRY TO NICK A GOAL!
It’s a similar set-up here. They know the keys to a victory are two simple things:
1) Stop us from scoring, and
2) Score one goal anytime in the game.
They’re simply looking for a 1-0 or better. WE are the ones who will feel like we need a goal, to even out the away goals and THAT WILL FORCE THEM TO COME OUT in an attempt to get at least two.
If we concede in the first half, they can play 4-5-1 to their hearts content, and we saw how difficult they were to break down.
Grabbing the first goal in the first half is required for a much better chance of getting through.
