[Displayname]

It wasnt just Trippiers fault, the team had more than enough time to get back. But cant really blame them for being tired either.

Isak is a miss but we still lose that game and this without him. We've hit the bar twice in the last minute of the game, it's not like we were banging the door down for 90mins.

Disagree like, Isak is perfect against these. It’s all about getting in behind these lads, his dribbling ability would have allowed us to stretch them and use the pace of Gordon and Willock

I’d rather we beat Bournemouth away anyways - I want to win the league

Exact same thing in the home fixture though and we didn't learn that lesson.

 

These two games against Dortmund have been near enough identical other than the fact they've scored 2 in this one.

Aye, same game. No lessons learned.

[Shearergol]

This fouling shit is what Man City do. If we start doing it I’ll be really pissed off

[Mike]

Tripps off the FK at least.

Fucking hell, alright Pards.

 

Our squad is falling to bits, we've still got the FA Cup and League Cup as well. We risk falling away on every front at this rate.

[The Butcher]

With a bit more quality/luck we could easily have earned two points from both Dortmund games. In a few years we'll take 6 off them

I think most aren't giving them enough credit honestly.

Agreed. I think we've played well considering the circumstances. But Dortmund have been the clear better side both games.

[Numbers]

Its not like were playing some 3rd Division side, we've been decimated by injuries and have given a decent enough account of ourselves.

[Decky]

We need Milan to lose to PSG tonight anyway to at least take the Europa League spot to SJP against them next month. And this notion about it being better to go out altogether, fuck that man, Europa League is not the Champions League, we'll do a lot better there and can go on a run. I'd much rather be in that than nothing like.

Feel like we haven't tested Hummels in both games tbh.

Yeah ,let’s wrap this up. Go smash Bournemouth on Eddies homecoming

Go to bed mate. And get some perspective. 

What perspective would that be, enlighten me with your brilliant insight.

[Ginola]

Lack of experience in these types of games and a long injury list cost us this one I think. No need to overreact though, easy to forgot this time 2 years ago we hadn't won a league game and were a strong relegation candidate. We're still building

[SiLvOR]

Well at least that Joelinton header can now dominate my headspace instead of that rat cunt Nunez wheeling away in front of me

Absolutely desperately need Botman back. The defence is completely different without him 

Botman back would be huge but we’ve been extremely solid defensively when he’s been out.

Dortmund definitely have our number. Whatever it is we need to do to effectively cope with them we either lack the specific personnel types (likely) or managerial nous (less likely, still possible) to do so.

 

I take some small comfort in the fact we're a work in progress without great quality in depth and also legitimately plagued by injuries at the moment.

 

Here come the managerial nous folks again ... oh my goodness.

Yeah, exactly. We were going for a key goal.

 

Why Trippier cannot beat the first man is beyond me. Time and time again.

 

He has been infuriating.

 

Gotta hit the back post on that FK, rather than the 3 yellow shirts and keeper positioned near post. Oh well.

[KingArthur]

We have tried, but to be honest, this is a top European side. We are not there yet. They have few German Internationals, and damn tough team otherwise too. 

 

No shame in this. We just don't have enough quality up top.

 

edit. We cannot manage with these injuries. UEL-place still up for grabs.

So they've played their two best games versus us all season

Literally just beat Man Utd and Arsenal in the last week

100% disagree. Dortmund have played us perfectly. We've had next to nothing and that's because they've done their jobs and we've not had an answer to them.

I agree that they’ve been good. But not super - I’m not saying we should’ve beaten them home and away but we’ve hardly laid a glove on them - partly because of their quality but also very much from not being used to this. We’ve seemed nervous and have misplaced a hell of a lot of passes (as we did in Milan). We also started the game really deep (too deep imo) and they still cut right through us. It’s all understandable though we haven’t got the players (or experience) for this yet.
