Dortmund should be wound down.

We really should try to get Ziyech this summer. Would replace both Özil and Xhaka in terms of playing style, outrageous performance at the Bernabeu.

What position does he play, Jones? AM in a 4-2-3-1?

Ziyech was wonderful yesterday, and has been throughout the tournament. With all the noise around the emerging Dutch talents he has been crowded out media-wise and could go at a discount. Really good AM, who can score, has great passing ability, and is good at set pieces. Was very impressive at World Cup last year for a team that should've gotten a result against Portugal.

Plays a variety. He's primarily a 10, but I've seen him come in from the right for Ajax and from either flank for Morocco.

Goes back to what I said earlier in the season... they are not that good. Or the top of the Premier League is very strong relative to this year's Bundesliga.
And Spurs are doing what you would expect, beat an inferior team, which they do consistently. But against a superior team like City, Barca, Atletico, PSG, they will not get the job done. So I'm not worried

I think you're way off on Dortmund Claude. One of those superior sides in Atletico played Dortmund earlier this season and were sent home sore after a 4-0 drubbing, this team is easily good enough to beat Tottenham home and away.

The reason they haven't at the same time was something all too predictable - their manager Lucien Favre. Tactically hes up there with the very best in Europe, good enough to repeatedly turn relegation battlers (Berlin, Gladbach, Nice) into CL clubs. Hes also brilliant at recognising talent and cultivating it, however he seems really poor at man management which without fail always results in his teams going on extended rotten spells. Forget about the CL they had a nine point lead on Bayern two or three months ago which is down to a +GD lead now

Anyway earlier this season Dortmund would walk this tie eight times out of ten. This season the Bundesliga is as strong as it has been in a very long time as will be seen when next week a struggling aging Bayern side will eliminate the best ever club side in football history.

This makes little sense to me. Considering that they were much better than now earlier this season, them being worse now doesn't make you right back then.

Klopp would be even better

Dortmund actually played wonderfully in the first half. Some of the attacking moves were brilliant on show, totally tore Spurs defensive shape apart. They just couldn't score.

Claudius

Have you lot seen the team that United are deploying against PSG? Gods please be favorable and present us with a rout.

Meatwad

PSG deserves to win the champions league just for those clean ass jumpman warmup jackets. i need one of those.

Claudius

Are you kidding me? United are 1-0 up.
PSG are chokers

Meatwad

they don't deserve shit for nonsense like that though.

Claudius

These overlaps and cutbacks to Mbappe are as easy as taking candy from a kid for PSG

Claudius

1-1. Get in. Mbappe turns provider!!!
