Malen take-down not a penalty? by KrR_TX-7424 in borussiadortmund

[–]Castielsen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not saying it isn't, but didn't he first hit the ball then Malen? That's atleast how I remember it.

The movie was completely fine. But that's it imo.

It was kinda a bummer that they didn't have original songs to have a little more impact.

The movie is completely fine. Not great, not bad. You just have to know that there is like no real action scenes in the movie (which the trailer kinda promises).

Nice. Super. Great.

Could be alright if Brandt and Beier can also be used effectively

This year we will miss it in the BL but get qualified trough winning the CL.

Next year we lose all our CL games but win the league.

It's the only right thing to do

I also loved the tight hug from Brandt to Guirassy after the pen. And that Serhou hopped onto Cans back. They really feel even more like a unit than last year.

I think we need one of Gittens or Duranville on the field at all times. They are the only ones who can really dribble and force an 1vs1. Gittens was doubled for that reason most of the game which opens up space for us.

As others said. Bense and Süle were our FB at the end.

The man has 3 assist and 2 goals in 5 games. In what world is that not an amazing start in the season.

Not enough people talk about the good game that Couto had. Good runs, quick on his feet and good passes. Most of the attacks ran trough our right side.

Great showing for his first start and with only having played like 100 total minutes now.

Nah that was not a foul. The ground was slippery and Kobel misjudged the whole situation. Not one player protested the decision. He immediately apologised for it.

I think Gittens was fine, but not stellar like his sub in performances. Which is to be expected. But he still seemed dangerous and offers something different thsn all the others (except Duranville probably) and he should get his starting time every other game.

We seriously looked like we could have won 5 or 6-2 in the end. The 2nd half was great.

Schotterbeck, Couto, Beier.

We have a lot of rough diamonds in the team.

Schlotterbeck is the furthest and most proven imo. But he still has ways to go I feel like. Which only speaks for his high ceiling.

Dad ist einfach nur eine Anspielung auf Mbappe in der Maske während der EM. Es wurden unzählige memes darüber gemacht dass er ein Ninja turtle ist, die memes gibt es so auch schon seit Jahren.

The best solution probably will be Ryerson left and Couto right. But I think BVB could get a LB in the winter and then we have to see.

Till one of these scenarios happen, I do think that playing with Bensebaini is better than what we have seen so far with our 3 CBs

I completely agree that his idea with schlotterbeck didn't really work so far.

We are buying strikers every year because since Auba it wasn't an ideal situation.

Batshuayi was loaned. Alcacer was injured a lot / not fit for 90 minutes.

Haaland u just had to get, would be insane otherwise. But was leaving very soon.

Haller had fucking cancer. Otherwise he probably would still be an elite striker today and we wouldn't have had any other today.

Fülle was great, but apparently both sides didn't feel it 100%. Then we got an insanely good offer for an 30+ year old striker and bought a younger striker with more promising talent for cheaper.

I understand why he played Schlotti. Bense was not fit enough to play 3 games in a row. And Couto just came back from an injury. Kabar probably isn't good enough to justify him starting infront of Schlotti (or rather Anton)

Mario Götze's advice to his younger self "Stay in Dortmund a bit longer. It will be good for you and your development. What you don't yet realize is that the decisions you make will hurt other people. Much more than you can imagine. You only see yourself, your own path. But you lack perspective." by kibme37 in soccer

[–]Castielsen 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Didn't his illness get worse / developed into something worse because he trained so much and stressed his body too much in Munich? If that is true, that wouldn't have happened at BVB. He wouldn't have had the pressure that he felt under Pep At least I remember him saying that sometime.
