  1. Not to be a negative Nancy, but I don’t love the fact that we need three missed open goals to squeak by the worst team in the league at home.

  2. Insane how hard everything spiraled from that one Mane injury.
    Those final 8 Minutes genuinely were my personal hell.
    Wish Mane a speedy recovery and hope Guirassy doesnt have any actual injury.

    Today I don’t fucking CARE how stupid close this game was. That is what football is all about

  4. SlayerHdThe3rd on

    Absolutely in no way good enough. You cannot allow the worst team in the league so many easy chances that could have allowed them to tie up or earlier in the half take a two goal lead. It’s just seriously unacceptable to play this way at home.

  5. Give svenson some rest. The man looks gased up now and I don’t want us to to see the repeat of what happend to schlotti last season

  6. Always happy with 3 points of course, but it can’t be that we’re beating Pauli and Heidenheim only thanks to a pen and letting them score twice on our turf while they both still haven’t reached 20 goals all season

    Gotta feel for mane and that injury. Was very good on his time on the pitch. Yes we won, but I still really don’t understand the tactical change of taking the best player, which was Jobe Bellingham off the pitch. Unless it was because he needed a rest, I found that completely ridiculous.

  8. Regardless of the sloppy defending in the second half, it felt like vintage Dortmund attacking and great mentality to come down from behind. Onwards and upwards!

  9. RxdditBlows_455 on

    Why does Serhou struggle so bad from the penalty spot. What’s going on in his head when he steps up

  10. Zestyclose_Nail2641 on

    Why can’t Brandt play like this all the time? Genuine threat every time he got the ball.

  11. Heidenheim just played their best game of the season. Both goals they scored were unfortunate especially the first with Mane being injured but they missed enough chances that 2 goals scored is fair for them.

    Overall I really like how fun this game was, especially second half we really pushed attacking wise but you could see the defensive stability go pre Kovac in the last 10 minutes mainly added time.

    Good response from the midweek loss now thankfully a good break before Wolfsburg next Saturday.

    Have a great weekend everyone!

    I went from feeling hard done and unlucky to be behind on two unfortunate situations. To feeling ecstatic how we came back and dominated. To feeling like wtf is wrong with the defense, how are we letting free runners in the box. Its like how the fuck do you fuck that up so badly… multiple times, like come on.

  13. Getting closer to Bayern two weekends in a row is amazing

    Ramaj can become a very good goalkeeper but needs more training and experience

    Guirassy is not a good penalty taker

    Silva on the pitch creates a lot of good opportunities for the attackers around him

    Mane played well until the injury, I liked that was involved in play and not shying away from the build-up

    Anton is slowly becoming extremely reliable

    Svensson and Couto at the same time creates more attacking opportunities but leaves us a lot more exposed. There were times where Nmecha and Jobe couldn’t cover well enough

    We shouldn’t have to clench so hard on a game against Heidenheim

  14. I think our first choice striker shouldn’t be such a selfsh player like Guirassy. Would be nice to have a Firmino like player that would know how to pass

  15. We’ve got to do something to build our defensive depth. Might as well have played with 10 men without Sule.

  16. Jeez some of you really won’t be happy unless we win every game convincingly. There was positives and negatives in the game but I’ll happily take the three points any day of the week

  17. We’re our own worst enemy and currently Guirassy personifies this entirely in the span of like 15 minutes.

  18. ProcedureGreen663 on

    Guirassy playing his best game in a while is great and all. Does not change the fact that he is one of the most selfish players I’ve ever seen in my life. Had two moments in the game, where the obvious choice is to pass. Robbed both Bellingham and Silva of their first goals in the Bundesliga.

  19. I’m glad for the win – these are the games we would traditionally lose – it was shaky , but the lads got the job done

  20. Non crocodile tear takeaways, i think Bellingham did very well first half, baier is underrated, Mane did also well till injury especially in defending forward and passsing.
    Non crocodile tear negative takeaway i think its pretty clear that guirassy is not a good penaltiy shooter which is fine he just needs to accept it

  21. You can talk about the shakiness at the very end all you want. If you made a word nap in this sub for the last 10 some years, clench would probably be the biggest word.

    If you’re saying the game was boring and we don’t attack enough and create chances “tactical” you’ve totally lost me. We played some really pretty combinations from back to front and created a load of chances.

    2 shit goals against and clenching at the end is vintage Dortmund.

  22. I’m very glad to hear you bring up expectations!

    To me, the minimum expectation is to qualify for champions league/top 4 finish and make it to the knockout stages of the champions league. Anything less than that is a disappointment to me. Meeting those expectations allows me to
    simply enjoy football and enjoy the positives.

    Being just 6 points behind this imo incredible bayern side is something we should all be impressed with. This squad on paper really has no business being in a title race, and yet despite all these negatives I read in here, we’re having quite the season. I am slightly disappointed in our champions league performances especially considering the opportunity we had, but again I believe in this team to beat Atalanta and have a competitive match in the ro16.
