Michael Posted May 16, 2020 Posted May 16, 2020 Brandt has been instrumental in all 3 Dortmund goals today, he's such a key player for Dortmund. His movement, his passing and his link up play is second to none.

Liga, but he's only 21, so he could become better as he matures as a keeper. But he's clearly been out of his depth so far in this derby.

Michael Posted May 16, 2020 Posted May 16, 2020 Guereiro scored his 2nd goal of the game and Dortmund's 4th goal. 4-0 to Dortmund now, this is looking like a real rout and there could be more goals!
Michael Posted May 16, 2020 Posted May 16, 2020 RB Leipzig deservedly equalise against Freiburg through Poulsen. I wouldn't be surprised if they go on and win this game now in the last 10 minutes.

Administrator Stan Posted May 16, 2020 Administrator Posted May 16, 2020 Decent run by Matondo. Perhaps could have shot but great tackle by Hummels.
Administrator Stan Posted May 16, 2020 Administrator Posted May 16, 2020 Dortmund celebrations at the end Brilliant. Socially distanced salute to the wall and clapping the stands Also, I see McManaman called it the Riviera Derby (should be 'Revier') and also said Dortmund will have the bragging rights in the city, even though the 2 clubs are from different cities. The guy is on another dumbass planet!
nudge Posted May 16, 2020 Posted May 16, 2020 Gutted for Freiburg, that was such a close call for offside.
SchalkeUK Posted May 16, 2020 Posted May 16, 2020 Kept out for this game - my prediction of 4-0 was about right and the 04 performance was as inept as I thought it would be. David has either to get rid of the dross or go himself - there was nothing learned from this that we did not already know - the Euro places fro next year are already gone and at least we have enough points in the bag to avoid the drop. Time for a mini clear out and give the younger players their chance - sad for the young keeper, but how do you play behind a defence like that? - particularly after your so-called international mid-fielder passes more to the opposition than to his own men! Totally expected result!
Mpache Posted May 16, 2020 Posted May 16, 2020 I maintain what I said before the leagues stopped. This is the best Dortmund side since 2013. Hopefully they can hold onto their players for another year or two to develop. They will definitely be capable of another CL final run by then. This year I feel they weren't quite mature enough to take on a PSG or a Barcelona.
Administrator Stan Posted May 16, 2020 Administrator Posted May 16, 2020 38seconds and Gladbach have opened the scoring! Frankfurt haven't woken up. Plea taps in.
Administrator Stan Posted May 16, 2020 Administrator Posted May 16, 2020 Should have chosen this for the First Goal game @Bluebird Hewitt would have won.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted May 16, 2020 Subscriber Posted May 16, 2020 What's the verdict then on the behind closed doors thing? Does it make it shite?

Administrator Stan Posted May 16, 2020 Administrator Posted May 16, 2020 2-0 Gladbach! Thuram with a tap in. So easy for Gladbach.

It's just remarkably different to what we've been used to for as long as we've known football. Some of the football seen earlier was normal and attractive, especially Dortmund which was my main focus to watch.

Without fans in the stadium, there's just no emotion and I would personally find it impossible to get into if that was a regular thing.
Michael Posted May 16, 2020 Posted May 16, 2020 Terrible start from Frankfurt, but Gladbach are deservedly two goals ahead. Plea scored one of the quickest goals of the season, I am sure Man United will be watching him today.

Without fans in the stadium, there's just no emotion and I would personally find it impossible to get into if that was a regular thing. I get that and it's a lot around atmosphere, even more so in the big leagues where fans can almost make a game. I think for me it's good to have major football back, under the conditions that the safety precautions have been met (more the testing in the lead up to games etc). Some of the rulings in the game almost seem a farce, as we've spoken about earlier. I don't think this will be regular in terms of years. There will come a time where fans will be back inside stadiums in their droves but for now, it's a case of bearing with football in this limited way before it goes back to 'normal'.
Administrator Stan Posted May 16, 2020 Administrator Posted May 16, 2020 Great free-kick from Kostic but well matched by Sommer. Decent attempt from far out!
