Players with egos so big they create their own fashion lables and wanna enter the arena using a helicopter vs Mentally fragile bomb attack victims who can't cope with pressure and bottled almost every important match for the last 4 seasons >Thomas "Tommy" "Tactics" "Tactics Tommy" "Tactics Tuchel" Tuchel Won the cup against Bayern after Alki Watze sold all of his stars, strongest 2nd place of all time against Pep's Bayern who were the most dominant and strongest team in Bundes history vs >Lucien Favre Gets destroyed by Bremen who haven't won a game in 5 years, no titles, loses every knockout game, loses the league to Bayern Hühnnchen, makes Reus look like Lingard and Peter Bosz like Sacci. This has 'PSG advancing with ease' written all over it - maybe not in Dortmund, but in Paris for sure. Prove me wrong, faggots!!! Yes, this is my idea of a motivational speech. The 3 Dortmund players missing for this huge game is a big blow for Dortmund, especially with Brandt and Reus out. I think it's more important that they had them available for this home game than the away game, because they really need to get a positive result today if they want to realistically advance. There will be huge pressure on Hazard to perform today, he has to play at the best of his game tonight. But every Dortmund supporter will really be looking to the world class pair of Haaland and Sancho deliver. It's a real shame Brandt and Reus are out, because with them in the team, Dortmund would have really put this PSG defence under pressure. This might be your motivational speech, but yes, I think PSG will advance as well. The Dortmund players missing is a huge blow for them. Just look at Dortmund's bench. Apart from Gotze, there's no attacking player who could come on and help cause problems for PSG. Meanwhile PSG's subs bench is stacked with offensive talent. They can bring on Icardi, Cavani, Draxler or Sarabia…. take your pick!! I can see Neymar and Mbappe causing that Dortmund loads of trouble tonight, it's going to be a long day at the office for them!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mpache Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Brandt is definitely a miss. Wonderful player. Very tricky winger that could genuinely make a difference. I reckon it'll be a defensive battle. Who can stop Mbappe/Haaland better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot more clubs than just Liverpool sing it tbh. We started singing it shortly after a band from Liverpool, Gerry & the Pacemakers, released it as a popular single. But I know Dortmund & St. Pauli sing it. Celtic in Scotland as well and a couple of Dutch clubs too. I think in this match if any club is tinpot, it's the one that was founded by a TV company and exists to sportswash Qatar to make them look like they're not awful human rights abusers.

I think most people associate it with Liverpool nowadays... it's our anthem after all. So it's not too surprising. Football fans copy other football fans all the time. Look at the number of great chants Liverpool have stolen from our European opponents and brought back to England. And then look how many England fans have copied those chants. I'm sure it happens all the time all across the footballing world where fans will see other fans do something and find it inspirational and want to have that own inspiration for their own club. YNWA is a great message from supporters to players, so it's not surprising other clubs have seen their fans take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the chants in South America are from Argentina originally. They started all the songs and we stole them. What I find funny is stealing another clubs anthem. Stealing regular chants is normal. Stealing a club anthem though? I can already see it. "Paris Saint-Germain! Del balonpie frances, la maxima expresion" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpache Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 PSG better so far. They're giving Dortmund a lot of difficulty to get out of their half on the floor. However, Dortmund look dangerous on the break. The times they can counter they look more dangerous in attack than the French. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpache Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Sancho is a bit selfish isn't he. Several times he could have made a pass but decides to shoot instead. Navas on the other hand is a brilliant keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Profesor Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Dortmund much more dangerous so far. The 3-5-2 is not working for PSG. Midfield is a mess, terrible match by Di Maria so far and Neymar very wasteful with the possession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpache Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 BVB defending well after a sloppy first few minutes. PSG look burnt out in their pressing.

Di Maria doesn't look up to it at a higher standard though. Fails with Argentina and in Champions League. Yet he's supposedly brilliant in Ligue 1.

Yeah, to me this has turned out to be very tactical, neither side are committing themselves too much. But yeah, Dortmund have looked the more dangerous side in this 1st half, even though I think that PSG have edged the possession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mpache Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Wow, when I said PSG had 1 attempt I had forgot it was off a free kick. They've been so toothless. Well done to Dortmund to shove off that "Bundesliga bad at defending" stereotype for this match. I feel if they want to progress though they need to win the first leg.
