[CL] Champions League 2014/15 (32 Viewers)

The lunge was dangerous, but the actual tackle motion was a regular one with the top of the boot, he sort of pulled out of making a full lunge. If he had shown his studs in the tackle it would obviously have been red. The still image of the tackle is deceiving as the trailing leg is the one showing studs.

I know. But I still think that's a red, because the applied force was not necessary and could have significantly hurt the other player.

I hope they have their heads kicked in. It has always baffled me how fans can support their black players but get insanely racist against others.

At least Zenit fans are consistent.

we will crush dortmund. it's not even funny.

they have zero tactical sense, and their players are made up of midtble quality at best. hummles and subotic will shit their pants and having to man mark morataand his pacey direct runs. and pogba will have a field day against gundogan

It shoud be easy. The ranking of both teams says it all. Other than that I have always found many Dortmund players to be overrated. With the exception of Reus I see little potential in their team.

Hope you're right guise, but I really can't see this being a walk in the park for us. Despite their poor season, they've done well in the CL and they have many players who have the experience of going far in the competition.

The more I think about the encounter and the more I hear about what journalists say about it, the more I am convinced that we are going to crash out. Everyone is favouring us it's ridiculous, we will most probably make fools of ourselves.

Yep. So many experts claim we are huge favourites, and it really bothers me. Can we handle the pressure? Also, we're in bad form at the moment, which is very worrying ahead of this tie.

Most definitely stupid of pundits and experts calling us major favourites.

Yes, Dortmund are in some shit in The Bundesliga. But it's clearly mental and not something they seem to bring with them to the Champions League games.

Dortmund's fast pace and direct play is something that could make our defenders look like old boys players. I think their style of play is the least suitable against our team. I would prefer playing against tiki-taka as an example any day.

That said; I think we are minor favourites. Something like 55-45 is our favour.

Vidal and Pirlo will be key in the games. If they play like they have in major parts of the season, we'll likely lose. If they perform we have a good shot at qualifying.

Agreed, for the most part. Minor favourites, though, I'm not so sure. Dortmund's form is improving while ours is headed in the other direction. 50/50 for me, it's wide open.

Who is Lucas Silva?

Also I think a big part of Dortmund's bad standing is Reus' injury. Since he came back, they seem like a new team.

Man, I'd actually like Schalke if it weren't for Boateng. He's one of those players I'll always hate.

Schalke's GK is 19yo and already being fielded for the CL Another big German name coming out I guess. Damn, they have so many quality GKs it's insane, by far the best country to look for Buffon's replacement eventually.

Trapp is the man to go. Believe me, he is flawless.

I love Leno personally. Whenever I've seen him he was very impressive.

Haven't see much of Trapp but I wouldn't be surprised if he's top quality.

Ronaldo 1-0

Funny, Wellenreuther commits the same mistake as he did on Saturday.

edit: which is not supposed to mean that the goal was on him.

I'd rather blame the defender who didn't make a step forward to leave Ronaldo in offside tbh.

 

[ALC]

Just ban Boateng from ever playing again, please.

And the defender who let Silva(?) cross.
But nonetheless Wellereuther is out of position by running out and then suddenly stopping.

Can't play the video in my country apparently. But yeah, I know what you mean, and those are huge mistakes for GKs. But I guess that comes with age at least in his case.
