I thought he wasn't bad against Ajax. It was mostly the Dortmund backs that totally flopped. Schulz was replaced by Emre Can but he was even worse.
Jude Bellingham | Borussia Dortmund player...

How many times do we want to be burnt by Dortmund before we learn.
The only reason we get burned by Dortmunds is because we have no playing system or patterns of play if you will. I assure you that if we got someone like Ten Hag, people like DvB and Sancho would have a renaissance.
Was mostly decent with the ball but got dragged all over the place off it. It’s no slight on him. Ajax were fantastic. But he plays in a position that takes more time to mature in than most.
The problem it’s when they come back to England
They don’t touch a ball
Too different the level

This, bundesliga is at the level of the championship
Hyperbole but funny
Look at Chelsea with Werner, super top scorer
They tought to have signed Rumenigge, but then got a german version of Danny Welbeck instead

I think he’s destined to sign for City in a few years unfortunately.
Can't wait to see "he hides behind opponents" posts if we sign him.
We are the problem, not the players from dortmund.
Nah Hendo just couldn't cope in EPL, Kagawa never reached the level he was earlier. Although I do think Kagawa might have had a better career if SAF was still there

He is crazy good, in these matches against Ajax, his quality is just unreal. Would be a dream to have him here one day, but City/Liverpool seem at least as likely.
He is by far the best 18 year old I can think of at this moment.
The only manager I might want sacked more than Ole is Southgate.
What one could do with Trent, Lamptey/Laird, Bellingham, Rice, Foden, Sancho, Rashford, Greenwood, Shaw amongst others one day. That dinosaur will ruin this generation.

The kid has Kimmich-type mentality and application.
Has been superb today. We missed big time when he decided to join Dortmund.
I love Goretzka but would instantly swap him for Bellingham.
The real deal.
Sign him up

Wow there surely going to reprimand him for that interview aren’t they?
I like him, thought he overrated initially but he’s some player. Would love him to come here eventually.

That was either brave or stupid. Is that right the ref had been done for match fixing before?
Silly thing to say as a player, and he's probably going to be punished for it.
I'd personally find it difficult not to say similar after almost every game with some of the officiating if I was in his shoes so I'm not going to be too harsh on him.

Has the ref been found guilty of fixing a match? I'm surprised he still has a job in that case.
Good for him, saying it how it is.
To those asking, yes he was convicted of match fixing and banned for 6 months. He was a linesman for that match but wasn't the organizer of the fix (the main referee was banned for life). He did help the main referee fix the match though.
Unbelievable…you’d think it would be impossible to come back and referee a match let alone the biggest game in the German calendar.
The kid should take a hard look in the mirror. An embarrassing, undignified festival of diving and playacting, from the first to the last minute, is what he delivered today. If anyone behaved unfairly today, it was him. Kane-esque, I might say.
He said what needed to be said, he's going all the way to the top
Guess those comments are fair then.
Imagine him blasting Atkinson, "Well he's form Leeds, what do you expect".
Sore loser comments.
He had similar in the City CL game too. I mean in both cases there is clearly contentious decisions, but he’s slowly building a bit of a rep as a crybaby/sore loser. Indulging in injustices isn’t quite a trait you want if you want to be one of the very best players.
Silly boy. These comments dont help, nothing you can do about it.
Doesn’t really matter because he does his talking on his pitch, him being outspoken or a cry baby isn’t going to stop him from being a great player, he already is.
Just one of the reasons why should never be allowed to ref a game again. Once a cheater always a cheater is a saying for a reason. Even if you aren’t, you are in other peoples eyes.
Well he’s certainly doing a lot of talking off the pitch too.
Is it true?
The piss and vinegar of a 17/18 year old and not really thinking/caring what you say. Not a big deal.
Absurd that a ref that has match-fixed can get that level of game though. Just another joke ribbon to add to the Bundesliga bow.

Great interview, that ref and the refs in Germany are bent as feck when it comes to Bayern. Glad somebody finally said something.
