This isnt exactly inspiring. Not going to get much further in this comp playing like this. Being absolutely bossed.

We're doing what is necessary in order to progress. We had a fantastic first leg, now it's just about being professional and getting through, we don't need to win every game.

FINALLY! Kane upfront centrally, Son out wide. Suddenly we have protection for the full backs and are winning the ball back more quickly.

Great tactical change there from Poch after 30 minutes.

Doing fine so far, we all knew how Dortmund would have come out and attacked us so there was always gonna be storm to weather, we're defending really well.

Atletico or Juve defend like this and everyone praises them, yet when it's us there's room for scrutiny lol

Anyone expecting anything other than a first half of Dortmund coming at us like the clappers just doesn't get it

Phenomenal from our lads so far

Resolute first half. Got.to be pleased with that.

A push is a push. Son was definitely pushed.

Kane is isolated and i don't think deserves the critisism he's had. Put some nice passes in.

Need to watch our left flank. They are getting a lot of space there.

We've frozen, but haven gotten lucky with some good saves and last ditch defending. Unsurprisingly 532 didn't work. Going to 541 has helped us keep the ball a bit better, but it continues the trend of having to switch formations early in games.

Son was freaking them out a bit early on the break but since he dropped back to midfield he's been pretty quiet. I wonder if he'll be let off the leash a bit more in the second half.

Have to give credit to Davies in that half too - wasn't spectacular but he did a solid job defending, intercepts and getting forward. We just need to focus a bit more when in possession.

Expected performance against an extremely good side.

We held ball much better final 10.

Be nice to nick a goal to put it beyond doubt but we shouldn't concede 3 in the 2nd half

Think we can catch that Wolf lad up the pitch later into the second half and have them on the counter

I think I’ve managed to kill half the butterflies in my stomach now.

Should be easier watching the second half with half the match already done.

We've done well. Just need to learn to boot it up and stop trying to play out from the back. We dont need to attack.

Eriksen Dortmunds best player, killed any forward play we had

I think thats a tad unfair

When he gets the ball there arent any players in front of him to pass to. Son has dropped deeper because of the tactical switch with him being in midfield and Kane is crowded out by their entire defence.

He isnt playing brilliantly but think our players in an attacking sense are unavailable to pass to

Savage " Eriksen has great delivery" :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Well, he does. His corners are shit, but he IS our assist king. Without his assists, we would never have been in the top 4 these last few years.
He's consistently been one of our best players the last 5 years, ragging on him for not being 100% this season is moronic.
