Dortmund 2 up now

[Pretty Boy Lee]

This is hard to watch. Poor all over this far, bar Maicon perhaps.

[phips]

2-0 Dortmund. Gotze now.

Kun you star

The problem tonight is not the system, but the fact that we don't have a defensive midfielder, that is were they are winning tonight.
Yaya won`t defend, so they control without any problems our middle, If we would had 3 on the middle, Gaz, Yaya and Garcia or Milner, instead of 5 on the back, we would had been up there tonight.

They have been ALWAYS misplaced, looking lost at each other.
the problem IS the system. was, actually.
let's keep the faith

Everytime when i say let's use 3 in the middle, i have the Spurs game, in may 2011, when we won and went in the Chumps. It was the 55 minute, Bobby just got Paddy Vieira beside Nige and Gaz and it was game over. Spurs had 40 something minutes were they couldn't go more that 30 m from our goal.

[Mike J]

Itd be really nice if we could stop giving the ball away to the 2nd best player in the world all the time

[ruralblue]

Way to slow getting the ball out from the back, too much time for them to sort they're defense out and not enough crosses into the penalty area for super sub to get his noggin onto. Come on blues x

[carl_feedthegoat]

Nasty , what a fucking nag of wank.....christ on a fucking bike.!!

[phips]

3-0 Dortmund. its all over.

[Green & Blue]

Lewandowski 3-0 quality side

Why have Maicon and Yaya been booked for first fouls when Ramos was let off with one through the back of Dzeko?

[Dubciteh]

Dzeko better being a sub,I think Macon has done alright personally. I'd get Barry and tevez on at half time. Anyone seen Nasri?

Milner and Tevez on for Nasri and Dzeko please.

that another matter. due to original line-up, we have 2 midfielders and four full backs.
You know I am ALWAYS for bossing the mid. that's why I am a massive fan of 4-2-3-1.
games are won in the middle of the park, very rarely on the flanks. that's my creed

When they showed the replay of the Maicon foul, you could clearly see the referee was looking at completely opposite direction than where the foul happened. When he turned round, Benzema was already on the ground and yet he immediately took the card from his pocket.
Might have been worthy of a card but the ref 100% did not see it

[Superbia]

Carrying 3 shit players Dzeko, Maicon and Kolarov.

Agree with both of you. Poor refereeing.

[Kladze]

Please remove Dzeko from this game at half time. He may score a lot of goals coming on as a sub against tiring defences but his first touch is bloody awful

[Esky]

Ignore any time he's meant to be defending and yeah, he offers something.

both our card were deserved.
funny is that, while Ramos has been granted an escape from jail after a tackle from the back, the same ain't applied to yaya
rocchi is a well known bastard
