So that is how it feels to close out a match without being clenched.
I love it!
Wait, Bayern lost — and we capitalized???
Well done all around. Beier MOTM? Idk. He ran the channels really well.
That was a great reaction to the last two games. We would be serious title contenders in most seasons if it weren’t for Bayern’s unreal run. Kovac is doing great work with the squad he has, and people should be very careful what they wish for when they ask for his sacking.
Great work by basically everyone. Give Nico whatever he wants.
Really good reaction to the CL Game. Much better pressing and effort by everyone and the attack played a lot out even if they just scored one of those.
Defense and Kobel are MVPs with scoring the Goals and keeping the zero. Also really glad that we seemingly didnt get any injurys considering how hard they fouled and somehow didnt even get a single yellow.
Ref really tried to lose control of the game.
Some of the worst performance if ever seen of an offical.
Finally a good fucking game. Hell yeah.
I have a feel Sevenson is a bit tired.. Our left side is a bit sloppy (forward ways) in the last games. Hoping for some fresh Bensebaini blood in the next games..
The match against Inter midweek will set the tone for the rest of the season I feel. With a good win against Inter, that may just give us the momentum we need
Great performance from us but terrible game imo Augsburg are true football terrorists
If I were to describe an example of what a good Kovac Dortmund performance looks like, this would probably be one of them. Defensively we didn’t have any scary moments outside of the set pieces in the first half and in the attack, they scored early to set the pace, scored early to the second half to kill any early momentum for Union and then cemented the result late with the third.
Definitely a better performance than in recent weeks and in a dodgy fixture like this, it’s welcome for sure. MOTM for me is between Kobel and Anton because I just felt confident with everything that they faced and did today.
We won and i dont want to be the party pooper, but we seem to have no midfield presence at all, we really need an six that pressing resistant and can hold the ball for more that 5 seconds to distribute it.
This was genuinely beautiful. I tuned in at the second half and my god I have never watched this team play with 0 stress or clenching. We played like a fucking team , and I dont think anyone at all had a bad game. We gelled so well. Our pressing was amazing and Silva just puts his soul onto the pitch its truly amazing to watch. Dare I say it even looked like Guirassy was a bit better than the last 6 months . I know Berlin is a weak team ofc , but if we can maintain the same spirit against Inter I think we have a great chance to win .
On another note , Kovac , this is literally all we wanted bro . Not bowing down and playing ugly fucking football the second we’re 1-0 up. This team has potential , it truly does . So stop being scared and play this team to their real ceiling , the results will follow .
Great for Maxi and Jobe to get that goal there. Two players who have gotten a lot of flak this season for their week showings and have probably suffered the most from the way Kovac sets up tactically. One of the better-looking goals scored so far this season. Hope to see them both grow and improve.
I think everyone had atleast an okay game today
Beier, Silva, Nmecha, Anton, Schlotterbeck and Ryerson were all pretty good. MOTM Beier for me
Jobe looked good out there as well and even Guirassy apart from his miss from that Svensson cross looked useful for the most part
Good shift from Anselmino. Can has been good lately but I feel more confident with Anselmino in that role. If we have any chance of signing him, we should. And if not, play Mane ahead of him. Also, play both ahead of Süle regardless.
Weakest player I think today was Svensson but he was not bad all round. And if Schlotterbeck stays fit he will insist on playing every game…so it’s time to use Bensebaini as a LWB every once in a while
All in all very happy with everything today
I loved having Beier, Guirassy and Silva all upfront. It felt like any ball played forward had someone at the end of it.
I hope we do this again against teams who want to defend
