Bundesliga, DFB Cup, and other Bundesliga business 2014/2015

Mainz isn't missing Karius at the moment. Kapino doing well so far
 
What's Geis doing at left back? I wasn't aware he could play there.
 
Today has been a sad day, the funeral of a close family friend, so I hope the boys can brighten it up a little.

Sorry for your loss. :(

Interesting game so far.

He was just helping out in defense I believe
 
Not much teamwork and cohesion going on with Dortmund at the moment. It's direct and positive play but it's always falling short near the goal, often because it's reliant on one man making the drive at the end. Mainz continuing to break well when they launch their attacks.
 
Good Veron-esque volley from Kagawa there. Tough ask to get that on target given how high the ball was with that side volley. Difficult technique. Another decent chance gone begging though.

When / If they eventually click, Kampl looks like he'll really kick on. Looks a really good player in the making.
 
Dortmund's season is going as bizarre as ours last year. They should be 2 or 3 up here, but of course Mainz scored with their only shot on target. Nothing is going their way at all.

He looks a headless chicken to me... Whenever I see him. And I do not know if he has the speed he needs in that league for an offensive midfielder.

Watching another match? When Okazaki would have been a step faster it would have been 2:0. It is not always shots on target that are dangerous - especially shots on targets that are predictable for the goalie.
 
Weidenfeller is such a liability. It's always like this, one shot on target and and one goal. He never wins them any points. Cech should have been a priority for them last summer. Probably hard to blame this goal on him but a bigger presence could have caught it or punched it to the flank.

Edit: Having seen it again I put the blame on him,

Probably yeah, genuinely can't remember Okazaki's chance. Anyway, Reus, Aubameyang and Reus again missed sitters you simply have to score, I haven't seen anything like that from Mainz.

Oh come on, you're only saying that because the commentator said those exact words when the scene happened. Not only would Okazaki have needed multiple more steps to reach that low cross as it wasn't that close to him at all, but also Dortmund had various chances that were way better than that scene with Okazaki you're talking about.
 
Gotta laugh at Bengtson trying to mark Subotic
 
They caught Mainz napping there after half time. Subotic with a great header under no real pressure from a corner.

That's because he´s "only" 17 cm taller than Bengtsson. Why put him marking Subotic? It was stupid decision. It's 2-1 for Dortmund, great start to the second half.
 
Swarmed Mainz and Kampl provides an assist for Reus to round the keeper. 2-1.

Did you put that £50 on @Twigginater ?
 
2-2! What a start to this half. Weidenfeller in no mans land.
 
Mainz strikes back. Defending that would make even our defenders proud!
 
Aubameyang! 3-2. Reus with an outside of the boot curled 20 yard pass around the back of the defence.
 
3-2 Dortmund. Thought he was missing that :lol:
