Dortmund best Leverkusen yesterday 6-2. So bad Leverkusen fired their coach! Reus left injured and will NOT play against Benfica.
Benfica are aiming to reach the quarter-finals for 3rd time in 6 seasons. 💪#UCL pic.twitter.com/QwN1NXhF2Z— UEFA Champions League (@ChampionsLeague) March 8, 2017
And now the flood gates open. Unlucky. Just before all this happened, we had a great chance to score.
We played much much better, that final score-line did not reflect the game but i guess its karma for all the luck we had in the first leg, lol. No more distractions now. We're taking the Liga.
Well we played a pretty sound game until we allowed the second goal. We opened up and our defence is simply not strong enough against a team of this calibre, especially at the CB position. We played about as well as we could. Our coached prepared the team very well, we simply are not good enough. Credit to them.
That and having Eliseu on the field is like playing with -1 players. Semedo also was poor defensively but at least he's young, the fullbacks needed to stay narrow and not go chasing players like Dembele, Auba, who are supersonic
I thought Semedo was fine. I thought Luisao was our weakest link by far. I normally cant stand Eliseu but I actually think he was not great but ok yesterday. We were week down the middle. But again, only after they scored their second goal. We pressed and left a weak defence unaided
it was just that killer ball that was missing that final pass other wise i think you might of scraped to the next round
The way we attacked yesterday reminded me a lot of how we were playing before we made the call up of Sanches.
Lindelof is a Swedish John Stones. Decent on the ball, but that's about it. Luisao....Well, i love the guy but it's blatantly time to move on.
We were disgustingly unlucky against Porto. Should have been 3 points instead of 1. That game against Sporting in the JA is going to be key. Must win at all costs. We've done it last season around this time, and we gotta do it again. I just hate that JJ has an opportunity to play spoiler. That day has the potential to be the worst day of my life, i might have to take some anti-nausea meds if we F up.
