James 1-3
Not really impressed from Bayern. I remember when they used to keep going after taking the lead, now they just want to control it and play it safe.
Can we have hames back?
It was an away game and Leverkusen was actually threatening over stretches of the match, especially after the 2-1. No complaints from my side, I think we'd be ready for Arsenal again. ^^
No.Can we have hames back?
Add another 5M to the fee.
Aubameyang cut from today's matchday squad for disciplinary reasons.
If there is an assault on the VAR centre Gladbach (fans) will be the prime suspects. Another clear-cut penalty denied, despite VAR.

I'm not sure how clear cut it really was since the contact was made way after the shot was released - afaik it's not necessarily a foul in that context.
Sancho and Isak both with their starting XI debut
Bürki - Piszczek, Sokratis, Toprak, Toljan - Weigl - Götze, Kagawa- Yarmolenko, Isak, Sancho
433/4123
And Cologne preserving their tiny bit of hope with a 90+5 winner from Terodde in his first match after returning to Cologne.
Half of the fouls in football are two players going for the ball, one coming too late, missing the ball and hitting the player. Are you saying, if he tried to pass it, it´s a foul? It´s a foul and dangerous play on top of it.
Watzke and Zorc are clowns
Apparently it's a convention among refs, but it hasn't been formalized into any written rule. It's application is quite common though when for example a player tries to block a cross/shot and then makes contact after it has been released. It's not a golden ticket to kick your opponent of course..
Watzke and Zorc are clowns
Why?
Sancho is genuinely one of the most talented youngsters around. Love the fact that him and Isak are starting.
That must surely be a record by now. What did he do this time?
Skipped the team meeting.
Dortmund team far too young today. 1 shot on target so far.
Yarmolenko(sp?) is no big help either.
Where did they found this Yarmolenko dude? Terrible terrible miss.
Yes he's woeful.
That's the problem with being Soviet players. They look good in their own leagues but struggle to settle in different and better competitions. Konoplaynka was similar at Schalke and Sevilla.

I know a lot of Dortmund fans don't rate Schurrle but surely with his experience he should be starting upfront given their issues there? Can hold it up with his back to goal and link play and chips in with goals.
Yarmolenko is wank.
Who is that black midfielder with the good pass on him for Wolfsburg?

Schurrle with the Yarmolenko impression.
Dortmund are shit today.
Actually, they were shit every time I saw them this season.

Plenty of whistles at the end.
How'd Sancho do, nearly score?
Interesting debut. Showed good awareness and was confidently involved in Dortmund's attacking moves and also tracked back well in the second half when Wolfsburg were having good spells.
In the box he reminded me of Sterling before this major goalscoring season, plenty of rushed shots and not the best shooting technique.
Still not bad for his first start. Isak was anonymous.
He is a good finisher, better than Sterling. Think it will take him a little while to get up to speed with senior football though.
Berlin up on Dortmund within 40 seconds of the starting whistle blowing for the 2nd half.
How's Kalou doing for Berlin?
He's pretty terrible tonight...
Another poor finish from Sancho.
Was going to score, ball literally rolling into the goal and a teammate in offside decided to kick it in.
Dont think the Kalou's shot had enough power to trickle over the line tbh. That Berlin pitch is horrible. Ball is bobbling about all over.
I don't watch a lot of German football but unless full nelsons are allowed, that was a penalty.
Proper bear hug that, both arms fully round Yarmolenko. VAR would have probably called it a penalty?
Well VAR didn't intervene, so....
That was 100% a pen.
...VAR needs to be modified!
Dortmund are lucky the league bar Bayern are really poor, otherwise they would struggle to qualify to the Champions League next season.
They don't have a bad squad at all, but they just don't work well together.
