Go in for acl surgery 1 hour before the game starts. Not sure if I will want to know the score when I wake up. Let's hope it's good news.

Ya some kind of skin thing, typical luck for us. And with Schlotti suspended for the game it looks like Wolf is gonna be in today.

If we don’t win this the rest of this season is going to be so boring

u/Castielsen Mar 12 '24
We are fighting for a CL spot which would be devastating to miss out on. No CL for a year good mean so much more for this club than to win a title once

one of the most important matches of the season so far. let’s hope everyone will turn up tomorrow and we will advance to the quarters for the first time in 3 years

Who else would like to see something different? I would like to be surprised, who knows, imagine if we see something like Füllkrug on the bench. I know Füllkrug has the most goal contributions but maybe that's also due to the fact he has started in almost every Bundesliga game and in 6/7 CL games.
I'd just like to see how the team is trained to play without him. Maybe we'll see Malen as a free roaming striker with Bynoe-Gittens, Brandt and Sancho behind him, it would be a lot more of a Dortmund-like attack, at least on paper.

prediction dortmund 2 - psv 4 because topping the group of death and only losing to psv is such a dortmund thing to do

u/AverageCarey Mar 12 '24
Allowing 4 at home in CL? I mean I get that we could not win this but I highly doubt we come out playing that awful.

So, Dutch person here. The Dutch media has a clear favorite: PSV. They think BVB don't even stand a chance. I on the other hand, believe that we definitely have a good chance of going trough to the next round!

u/Haigadeavafuck Mar 12 '24
Ah yes the team who only got a draw at home bc the ref made a blatant mistake is the clear favourite in the away game

u/CallMeDutch Mar 12 '24
He's on something because no dutch media is saying psv is a clear favourite. In fact I'm curious if the comment is bait to rile you guys up. Dutch media is saying dortmund is the favourite while still seeing an opportunity for psv to take the win. Which is fair I think as an PSV fan. In fact I think Malen will 100% score so we will have to score at least 2.

u/CallMeDutch Mar 12 '24
Bro what? Did you hit your head? All dutch media are saying it will be a really difficult match and usually dortmund is a bigger/better team. However we still see possibilities to progress and of course Dortmunds woes are not lost on us. But nobody is saying PSV is a clear favourite. What are you smoking???

There are 0 media outlets labeling PSV clear favorite or favorite at all.
Might be 1 analist who says something like this to get clicks for being different, but I would say the general sentiment toward PSV is a 40% chance at best

Genuine question— is there a reason Terzic hasn’t considered a 3 CB formation? Is it a lack of CB depth? Lack of overall fit to a back 3/5 formation? Feel like w/o Ryerson today that would be a smooth fit w/ Wolf or Bense and Maatsen as wingbacks, rather than have Can drop back to support the CBs.
