We weren't at our very best, but that's partly because of the above. We were better second half, but that was partly game state as well with Dortmund getting deeper.

Dr Jinx Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Can’t really complain, we were a little below our usual level but Dortmund played well, really well organised without the ball and always dangerous on the counter. When games are going like that it’s probably our biggest weakness.. chasing but against a team that’s happy for us to have the ball.. we didn’t have the ideas to break them down enough. The frustration grew. Snatched at chances we did have and looks like a costly game with injuries.. Isak may be out for a spell and Murphy who’s been excellent this season with a dislocated shoulder. Tonali ban incoming.. it was good to have Willock back though. Can't complain about Dortmund.. they did their homework. Ref was an absolute tosser though.. he wasn’t giving us anything tonight. So much blatant stuff he let go Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Really really disappointed with that performance. Dortmund were smart and knew exactly what to do and how to play it (to be expected given their experience in Europe for the last god knows how many years). We showed a lot of inexperience in the game in general and couldn't figure them out yet still had 3 big moments which could easily have resulted in a goal. They looked in control for most of the game and they deserved to win, they took one of their chances and we didn't. We looked sloppy as fuck and thick as fuck too at times, we looked like the novices we are in Europe and their experience told in the end. Passing was poor, tempo was slow and we rarely threatened. They nullified us and ripped us on the counter, we were just beaten by a better, smarter team. We just need to put this in the lesson bank and learn from it as we'll have this situation again in the near future, similar to the Liverpool result. Learn from it, figure out what went wrong and be aware next time we're in this situation. This is why I was looking forward to watching this group - it's 6 tough fixtures and at the end of them all we'll end up a better, savvy intelligent unit. It's a loss tonight but we need to learn from the experience Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joelinton7 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Dortmund used all of their experience and have quality oozing, they played us like a fiddle at times. Having said that we should have had 5. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another night we come away with a 2-1 win, just wasn't meant to be. Few suspect performances but nothing to worry about long term. Just hope Isak and Murph are okay. As an aside, really like the attacking fret Targett can offer. Targett did not put a foot wrong from the moment he came on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought they were quite poor, very open on the left hand side and let us have a number of good chances. Definitely a good first half display though, looked good on break. Draw would have been fair. If we did that at their place everyone would be over the moon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pancrate1892 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 We always struggle against a low block. The first goal was always going to be pivotal, give them something to protect otherwise the game could have flipped like PSG. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens if three teams all end up on the same points and each team has beaten another team twice? So Team 1 has beaten Team 2 twice, Team 2 has been Team 3 twice and Team 3 has beaten Team 1 twice? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
