Round of 16 - Tottenham vs Borussia Dortmund

The second half needed a goal from the away team to make it exciting!

unsurprisingly, BVB's entire season is collapsing in sync with the inevitable Reus injury

Ahh here comes a goal! Oh, Marc.....

The stadium sounds so quite now that I wanna go out for a cigarette.

So this seems over.

lmao how is this dortmund team topping bundesliga?

LOL my cigartte did not last long enough. Starting to snow again, time for some whiskey to help me forget.

All credit to Spurs, Son coming off, he had a good game and yes is in form. Harry who?

Wow...I imagined Spurs winning the tie but this result at home was unexpected

What a pathetic performance by Dortmund bar moments in the first half. Pulisic is good but fails to display a lot beyond his impressive dribbling and has failed to produce anything of note today.

Yes they are missing Reus yet Spurs are missing Alli and Harry fucking Kane.

Hugely underwhelming.

Happy for Llorente scoring who has proven a better backup than expected in the absence of Kane. Son always so happy for him when he scores.

even llorente getting on the scoresheet ffs

bundesfodder

Really pathetic showing from Dortmund, no excuses.

Kinda shows you how bad Bayern are tbh

Already a Brexit team in the quarter-finals, soon enough to be joined by City, Liverpool and Ole after his legendary remontada

The game was played at walking pace. Even after the 1-0 Dortmund didn't think they had to start running.

Hugely disappointing result for GL

Spurs without Kane, Son and Danny Rose and 3-0'd Dortmund

Spurs have been struggling against Fulham and Newcastle ffs

Dele , damn it

Would have lost without Son tbh

Special dedication from Poch to the armchair managers who criticize his CL record - which in spite of not getting far does have a number of good performances in there.

Also special dedication to all the Vertonghen haters, by all accounts a masterclass performance in his least preferred position

I'm disappointed Spurs is existing tbh. But as long as Poch keeps winning, I'll be alright.

Yep. Another evidence it is not Poch but the players who are responsible when they bottle in big games. Loser mentality is ingrained in them somehow even Poch cant do anything about it.  

I mean just look at them. Not spent a single penny in the summer, have their 2-3 starters missing, playing a makeshift midfield and a defense that has scrubs like Aurier. And they just thumped the Bundi leaders 3-0. No other coach would have done it. Not even darlings of the footballing world Pep or Klopp. Remember both needed heavy investment to take their teams to the stage they are right now. Here, you have this guy doing it with a team on shoestring budget and with key players missing.
Legit speaking, this guy's the real deal. Been saying that for ages.

Right now for us though, I want the job to be Ole's permanently, but thats because of sentimental reasons. If it is not Solskjaer, it HAS to be Pochettino.

What happened??? The first-half was pretty even.

Nothing much, they just replayed Borussia's last couple of games, without Borussia's goals, though.

Heard Pulisic was bang average in this game.

I believe the hype, as a USA fan, so I won't judge him too harshly. He's been struggling with form for several months now so that's not much of a surprise. I hope he can find some form before he leaves though. The PL is a lot more physical than what Spurs showed in this game so he's going to have to toughen up.

At this point Ligue 1 > Bundesliga.
