We fought hard, but we dropped points at home we shouldn’t have. This Dortmund team was there for the taking, shaky at the back, not even playing like they wanted it in the first half. We needed to rattle them early, and that clear penalty could’ve changed everything. At the end of the day, every home game counts, and we let this one slip.
No doubt that the midfield is an issue, and it has to be fixed this winter. Shame that our only choices are Koop and Locatelli. If Thuram’s off, we’re exposed and today proved it.
Credit to being combative. This team can score at will when they flip the switch. But Tudor can’t keep waiting until we concede. He needs to unleash havoc from the start, especially at home. To be real though, you don’t compete in the CL with a midfield this weak, no matter how much firepower we’ve got upfront.
On the bright side, Bremer survived without injury. And if I’m not wrong, that was the same ref from Leipzig last year, an absolute butcher.
