now Sancho on for Pulisic

by Hapless_Hans Wed Oct 24, 2018 9:46 pm

SANCHO GOOOOOOOL

BVB's team is so young - the two CBs 19 and 22 years, Pulisic what, just 20? Bruun Larsen 20. Hakimi 19 years old. Sancho 18. Dahoud 22.

And they're comprehensively outperforming Atletico Madrid.

Impressive stuff.

Atleti leaving acres of space Rolling Eyes

wouldn't eveb dare do that against us. Plebs. Happy for Hakimi, completely ripped them apart on the break

Good to see, really cant stand Simeone and Atletico.

BVB did start old experienced players like Felix Gotze's brother and Pullisic. Wont be long before you guys are stealing all their youngsters.

4-0. Simeone's worst defeat as Atleti manager.

One of those games that makes you wonder if Simeone's style has gone stale. They've struggled for goals all season and would be doing a lot worse if not for their defensive solidity.

BVB are one of those sides outperforming their xG this season, but they're certainly an exciting team with a lot of fun young players.

Dortmund will be a surprise in the CL this season if they get a good draw. And win the bundes ofc. Most fun team in europe atm.

Honestly, I still don't think they'll win BuLi even against our complete shambles of a team.
And Champions League? No further than last 16.

If Reus and Alcacer keep up they certainly will, they got plenty other great forwards as well. And who would've thought their midfield signings Witsel-Delaney would be 2 great signings and play this good for BVB, they are allowing Dortmund's forwards the freedom. Weigl can't even play a game because of those 2 players. They got them for real cheap money in today's market. Also, imagine the confidence Dortmund's players have by now.

BVB: 12 games, 10 wins, 37 goals scored

by Hapless_Hans Tue Nov 06, 2018 7:55 pm

Madrid: Oblak - Juanfran, Gimenez, Lucas Hernandez, Filipe Luis - Thomas, Saul, Rodri, Correa - Griezmann, Kalinic

Dortmund: Bürki - Piszczek, Akanji, Toprak, Hakimi - Witsel, Delaney - Pulisic, Reus, Sancho - Alcacer

by Hapless_Hans Tue Nov 06, 2018 8:12 pm

NOT SURE..
..how you can be top 3 in La Liga six seasons in a row, even winning it once, two CL finals in that time, one Europa League win, another CL semi too, and end up with Kalinic up front.

How?

by Hapless_Hans Tue Nov 06, 2018 8:29 pm

Atletico players mainly focused on kicking Hakimi lmao

by Hapless_Hans Tue Nov 06, 2018 8:36 pm

1:0 Saul

deserved lead for Atletico at this point

by Hapless_Hans Tue Nov 06, 2018 8:42 pm

Not too big a fan of that Witsel-Delaney midfield BVB are employing these days

by Hapless_Hans Tue Nov 06, 2018 9:23 pm

Guerreiro on for Pulisic, good sub, Sancho Panza goes back to the right, where he started the game before switching with Pulisic, who has been ineffective and kept anonymous by Filipe Luis and the Atletico defense

by Hapless_Hans Tue Nov 06, 2018 9:27 pm

Also, as explosive and prolific Alcacer is as a substitute, as useless he is as a starter.

by Hapless_Hans Tue Nov 06, 2018 9:42 pm

GRiezmann 2:0

BVB brilliantly outcountered the very moment they decided to open up for good

by rincon Tue Dec 11, 2018 10:16 pm

Just saw that Atletico failed to beat Brugge, losing the first spot to Dortmund

by halamadrid2 Wed Dec 12, 2018 8:17 am
