Gallowgate Toon Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Going to be a pleasure to watch Reus. He's getting on a bit but still seems a very good player. Fucking loved watching him in the CL over the years. Gordon reminds me of mid-20s him a bit, actually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he starts many games these days - certainly the Dortmund matches I’ve watched this season he’s been on the bench…. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaj Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I can see this game being similar to the PSG one in terms of blowing them away with a cracking atmosphere and intensity from the players. I can then see the away game being similar to the AC Milan game with them being dominant and us being solid. Fingers crossed we can get four points from them two, it would almost guarantee Europe after Christmas and give us a great chance of progression in the UCL.

Seem to have that vibe generally Yellow was my closet favourite colour so they probably were mine. Got one of their florescent early 90s shirts from the Chapuisat/Polvsen era. There's their stadium one of the few which still maintains its character and support now which wasn't a thing back then. Bayern were so bourgeois even when they only won everything half the time. I'm confident but just be mindful of a PSV situation after beating Barcelona and drawing in Kyiv before facing them twice. Of course it'll help that we wont park the bus for the two games like Dogleash did then for absolutely no reason whatsoever. We were up against Gilles De Bilde ffs. Hoffenheim for me like.

Doctor Zaius Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Murphy unlucky to miss out but I think Howe will stick to his 'rotation' plan with Almiron and Isak coming back in. Fear us underestimating these a bit. Won their last five in the Bundesliga. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 They pass the ball around really quickly and incisively in the attacking phase, which is something I feel we aren’t the best equipped to deal with. Hopefully will be more like last season’s Brighton game (the 4-1) than the one we lost recently; our high press could cause them issues, hopefully.

Fingers crossed we can get four points from them two, it would almost guarantee Europe after Christmas and give us a great chance of progression in the UCL. If we get 4 points against Dortmund - we finish above them and confirm European football. We would be on 8 points. The max they could get is 8 points. CL group stage is decided by H2H if teams end up level on points. 4 points means we win (assuming another team doesn't finish on the same points). The good thing is. If we beat them at Home, the away game is a must-win for them pretty much. If they have to score in the last 20 minutes, we can get them on the break.

timeEd32 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I like our chances, but this thread is giving me Man City pre-match vibes. PSG away is the only game they've lost this season. Also, unless I missed one, I don't think they've lost at home since August of 2022 for those thinking about doing the double over them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
