    Dortmund played a back 3 of Thomas Delaney, a box to box midfielder, Hummels and a 35 year old Piczczek, or however the fuck you spell it. How the hell do you get to that point?

    Blew the transfer budget signing Haaland plus paying his agent and his father?

  2. Watched most of Lazio defeating Dortmund 3-1.

     

    Didn't hear his name mentioned once, but Lucas was top notch. Always in great position defensively, not a single silly foul in a dangerous spot, and constantly moving the ball forward accurately and effectively.

     

    Very impressive.

     

     

  3. I didn't hear what Klopp said to Keane about "sloppy" but he was absolutely correct.

     

    That was a magnificent performance.

     

    The pace, the relentless pressing, the passing, etc.

     

    But the thing I like as much as anything is how few free kicks they give away. If they're not on the right side of the opponent--and they usually are--they're harrying them, relentlessly, in packs, and all without putting a foot wrong.

     

    (Aubemeyang at the end there, gets the ball in a good position, but before he can decide what he's going to do there're 3 players there, surrounding him, forcing him to make a mistake. 92nd minute.)

     

    Not to say they don't foul, but they rarely foul where they shouldn't.

     

    It's a discipline that not many teams have, and no teams that play at the pace at which they play.
