German Football Part III

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I'm fine with Bosz rotating the squad constantly, but I don't think we can afford to do so at defensive midfield. Sahin does not give us anything close to what Weigl does. Weigl's been fit since the last international break. Why wouldn't he be able to play two matches in a week?

We'll see how it goes today, I'm not convinced Sahin won't struggle with Keita. Tuchel overused Weigl last season because he didn't have anyone who could replicate what Weigl does. I think Bosz just doesn't know the squad well enough, Sahin can't do what Weigl does. Sahin can play in Cup matches and occasional very easy league or Champions League matches, he's not a good fit against a good side.

 

[Bon Esprit]

Another last minute loss. Thank you very much. ****

 

[Nalens Oga]

What a shame Werner's not fully fit, this Dortmund midfield they're putting out seems ripe for him to run through.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Aytekin today.

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

Pavs you wanna make a new thread?

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

god i f***ing hate living in this slow internet town

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

holy f***

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

god i ****ing hate living in this slow internet town

Sorry man, what happened? I get up for a second and the energy drinks score?

 

[Deficient Mode]

lol Sahin isn't nearly good enough under pressure.

 

[Nalens Oga]

I still can't believe that first goal because of Ilsanker. I know Klosterman is injured but I'm pretty sure Orban is healthy and should've started this regardless of the CL game. RB keep changing their defensive pairing constantly and it does them no favours.

Nice of Freiburg to lie down for Bavaria today, they didn't seem to want to do that against us a few weeks back when they injured our players and took a draw out of the match.

you are very welcome

It's always nice to see Dortmund fans complaining, that happens waaaay to seldom

Now, I could tell you about the difference between these matches but in the end, Dortmund is gonna Dortmund

 

[Deficient Mode]

Sokratis is gonna get busted one of these days. Only a matter of time.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Toljan is dreadful

 

[Deficient Mode]

lol Toljan

lol Sokratis

 

[Nalens Oga]

Lmao, buy a right-back.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

We have no right-back on this team, might as well try Guerreiro as a RB when he returns. Maybe it works? Until then, we might as well give Bartra a runout at RB.

Sokratis didn't look too good on that goal either.

 

[Deficient Mode]

Play a high line in an aggressive pressing battle

But also stock your central midfield with a 29 and a 30 year old when there are two younger, faster, and more talented options on the bench.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

This high line is not going well.

 

[Nalens Oga]

This is probably where you want Pulisic on the left side running at Ilsanker and Bernardo instead of Philipp.

Need Dahoud first

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

This is probably where you want Pulisic on the left side running at Ilsanker and Bernardo instead of Philipp.

Second half. He's been beat up the last week by CONCACAF hacks, he has no business starting this match.

 

[Nalens Oga]

Forsberg on for Augustin please.

And Pulisic is 19, he'd be fine regardless of whether he started or came on as a sub.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

And Pulisic is 19, he'd be fine regardless of whether he started or came on as a sub.

He's carrying a calf injury. You must've not watched how physical Panama was against him, they were punching him off the ball, referee conveniently saw nothing every time.

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

Our defense is getting eviserated

 

[Bures Elbow]

Bruma

No brain, but insane skill and speed. If only he had a brain...ruined his career trajectory.

Gurreiro is back practicing but Dortmund is being smart and waiting until he's fully fit. Their defense looks slow and vulnerable.
