We revert back to the false 9 system.

Didn't see that sub coming!

Normal 4-1-2-2-1 formation now.

Said I thought Haaland was injured.

I agree. That tackle by the dipper

Absolutely fine first half performance. Don't need to be going all out for a win, we're already through. We're doing what's neccesary with the next few games in mind. Seems many on here would rather Pep run the players into the ground win 6-0 achieving nothing a 0-0 doesn't get and have 2-3 injuries as a result.

Gundogan been excellent, alvarez getting in some lovely spaces but needs to be better when he receives it. Everyone else bog standard. I think they'll score second half so we need to move the ball a bit quicker and get ourselves a goal but I'd take a repeat of the first half.

About the most sensible post I've read.

Seemed to be rubbing his knee after that reckless foul that wasn’t even deemed worthy of a yellow

It's not cheat mode FIFA ffs, some are behaving like spoilt kids.

Not quite. Alvarez is playing 9.

Haaland benched is pretty weird.

tbf he didn’t score hattrick
so

We have to allow for the fact Dortmund are sitting back and defending really well. It just takes a sloppy pass from us and they are on the counterattack. They are a good team. But I imagine Pep will have a plan. Oh just seen the plan is taking off Haaland..
