turnbull Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Watched Dortmund tonight, awful again. If ever a team needed some sense of direction, it's them. Defensively all over the shop, hit and miss going forward, great when stuff comes off. Surely Haaland will be off PDQ if things don't improve. Then they will be buggered.

Its unsurprising, Mats Hummels is one of the most overrated footballers of the last 10/15 years. Has always got a mistake or a lapse of concentration in him.

I know they're missing Witzel but that's no excuse for the mess they're in. Deus looks a pale shadow of the player he was a couple of years ago.

villa4europe Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 There's their problem Older influential players who don't give a shit and younger players with little influence Their next managerial appointment is huge, maybe missed a trick with Poch but time will tell Not implausible that they don't get CL Mainz beat leipzig, everyone doing their best to gift it to bayern again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to see he doesn't end up at another PL side. Edit: We should try and nick whoever Leipzig are looking at to replace him unless they already signed him. Upamecano and Konaté both been fantastic. Wonder if they go for Benoît Badiashile now or if they look at someone even less established. Edited February 13, 2021 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Bit of a tussle in the Dortmund game where the ref missed a blatant FK and a Hoffenheim players goes down injured, play goes on and Dortmund win the ball and scores. Haaland along with 4 other Dortmund players bitch and argue with a Hoffenheim player. No real fault with Dortmund as there was no call but the ref made a clanger.

To be fair Hoffenheim had the ball for quite a while after the foul. I assume the ref just played advantage. Expecting Dortmund to kick the ball out when they had plenty of opportunity to do it themselves is pretty silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see why Hoffenheim are miffed but should be aimed at the ref. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoffenheim were on the break and then 3 further players touched the ball before Dortmund won it back. Not sure Hoffenheim have much to be complaining about at all.

The ref hasn’t missed that, he’s clearly played advantage. It’s dreadful from Hoffenheim to give the goal away how they have and they’ve got nobody to blame other than themselves. They could have just put it out of play themselves in the dozen or so touches they had before they gave away the goal if they wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troglodyte Posted February 17, 2021 Author VT Supporter Share Posted February 17, 2021 So what are BVB supposed to do? It'll be interesting to see how they do with Rose. Seems a better fit than Favre for the club. It'll be very difficult to put up any sort of challenge to Bayern without CL qualification, considering they'd most likely lose some of their better players. I imagine Sancho will leave either way though - unfortunately for less money than was possible last summer - but they'll be hoping to keep the likes of Haaland, Reyna etc. and invest some money in the defence. Akanji just isn't quite good enough and I wonder if they'll look to replace Hummels if they can shift him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
