Reus vs Arbeloa Dortmund vs Real Madrid - Page 3 Hungry_boy

Also i don't agree with Bayern finding Dortmund out, the only game they have played in the league this season was a draw and anything Dortmund were a bit unlucky not to win.

by sportsczy Fri 12 Apr - 14:07:25

Did you watch the games the last 2 years between Bayern and Dortmund? Bayern was getting torched. They were arse kickings often. Now, the games are even. The difference seems massive to me. Previously, Bayern had no idea what to do with Dortmund.

Ah cool, thought we would have had some kind of clause in place.

Dat Essien.

Of course, some people (myself included) would say that Badstuber's absence has been an act of god in Bayern's favor... :coffee:

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Fri 12 Apr - 14:12:38

I don't think that is tactical though, more a improvement in quality and mentality.

Also yes i did i see the games but i think adding the likes of Dante, Martinez and Mandzukic as well as the likes of Alaba, Kroos and Muller getting more experience are bigger reasons.

by sportsczy Fri 12 Apr - 14:12:53

Yeah... arbeloa is suspended thankfully lol.

By the way, Essien went out injured. Will he be ready for this tie? If he's not, you will see Ramos at RB. You may see Ramos at RB anyhow.

by Toffer Harley Fri 12 Apr - 14:13:21

bvb will definitely have to take more of their chances as they won't get to many. they are in the underdog position (of the general public) again where they act more comfortably

i think in the end away goals or so will cost them. i got the feeling that real will be more clever than them

I think we will win this.

Madrid will win it. They will sit back if Mou knows whaty he is doing and let Dortmund come at them

Initial feelings is that he'll be available.

Klopp vs Mourinho

At the end of the day i think RM's experience will the make the difference

I don't actually believe this but twisting your post around and basically saying what Dortmund should do is the same Laughing

Very similar teams, although Madrid have more experience( players and coach) superior depth and a more reactive coach.

by VivaStPauli Fri 12 Apr - 15:32:13

Klopp is more likely than Mou to get the tactics right considering they've only met twice before imho, but Mou just got sooo much more to work with.

If Dortmund can play their real first string, they have a decent shot. Meaning having Kuba, Reus and Götze on the pitch, and a fit and in-form Hummels at the back, but most importantly: a well-rested Gündogan. That kid is magic.

Dortmund to win it all. I would use opportunity to send message to Madrid so that they may know the depths of their failure.

by Onyx Fri 12 Apr - 16:26:27

Dortmund are the easiest team we can face.

I think we'll be too much for them to handle in the end. Our team overall is more superior. However they have quality player who can hurt us and we'll most likely be playing possession, which'll mean we'll get countered by them. Hopefully Mourinho has better tactics time.

Would be interesting to see Sahin play.

by VivaStPauli Fri 12 Apr - 16:28:04

Dortmunds first team is equal to your first team, they just probably won't be able to field that for two legs. Advantage Madrid.

Dortmund was new to Mou and Madrid the last time around. This time, we have intel. And keep in mind that Madrid is in 1000x better form now than in the fall.

I don't see us losing to Dortmund.

This is such bullshit. How many times has Mou lost a game this season because of the same game plan Dortmund used by other la liga teams? What has he done to create a convincing team when in possession and diversify the avenues of attacks?

On the other hand, think of the lulz if Dortmund progress with a starting Sahin : lucas :

Why do you :facepalm:

? they beat Madrid already this season and if it wasn't for Weidenfeller's cock up in the last minute they would have beaten them twice.

by RealGunner Fri 12 Apr - 17:01:12

Would be extremely surprised if Madrid don't go through

Mourinho doesn't repeat the same mistakes.

Excellent tie though

I'd say our first team is slightly better.

It's more experienced too, although the experience won't make too much a difference, however it still counts.
