2016 - 17 General Discussion Thread

Of course the regulations explicitly forbid this, so it's kind of a moot point.

I think we now know who the best footballer to post on this forum. Chelicerata I hope your ankle gets better and you score against Leverkusen on Saturday.

 

Bud, there a number of pro Kagawa guys on Reddit.

 

OK, if we beat Lotte we'll face Bayern in the semi-finals.

 

The club announced they will be launching a site to buy and sell tickets (secondary market). Both new and secondary tickets can be purchased through through the site. Huge upgrade for fans who will no longer have to deal with viagogo.

How is Emre doing, seems like he's been frozen out lately

 

tough game v hertha coming up, despite their solid home run/defence
expecting nothing less than a win for us though.. fvck a draw tbh. im
taking a draw as good as a loss. they're great this season esp at home,
impressive results without a doubt props. hope we really come out
committed determined as hell, time to show mufus who's not to muck with

 

AND just want to add; hope to see shinji play, i feel like he's up for a couple assists that's all

 

Passlack has put in excellent performances virtually every time he has been on the field including playing out of position. Passlack without a doubt is better than Durm at the right wing back position, but Durm has a few things going for him.
1. Durm is taller, which helps us deal with set pieces
2. Durm is fitter, which is vital for the wing back role. It's arguably the most demanding position.
3. Durm has the shirt. Durm has played well and the team are winning. He is building up chemistry with Dembele and LP. There's no need to change a team on such excellent form.

Pulisic should not be competing with Durm. Pulisic is poor defensively and weak, it just destroys the balance of the team. Reus is still out for the next 3 possibly 4/5 games. Then after that he can be a sub.

 

On Twitter we can see videos of the team on their way to Berlin and one of the players is Isak as well. So, any chance he makes the 18 man game day squad and possibly his debut?

 

Nobby with Sokratis.

 

we r currently playing lotte in pokal

The German version says "...kann Götze im Frühsommer wieder mit dem leistungsorientierten Training beginnen". End of spring, beginning of summer...in any case out for the remainder of the season?

 

Ultimately it's simply saying his season is done, and the hope is that he can train well beginning in the summer and be back in good condition for the start of the 17/18 campaign.

 

Good news about Gotze. He needs to focus on recovering and regaining his form. At his best he can be world class, let's hope we see him better than before.

Getting to the semi-final of the CL is so important. It would make people see Dortmund as one of the top 5 clubs in the world.

 

Whether we get to the semifinals or not, Dortmund is a yuge German club. Few will see a semifinal berth as a confirmation of Dortmund's top dog status in Europe, no one thinks Leicester is Europe's top 8 because they are one of the 8 clubs still standing. There are bigger, richer clubs in England who do not need to sell like we do, until Dortmund stops selling our best players we will be seen as a place for those bigger clubs to shop for ready made talent. The turning point is the day we keep coveted players like Aubameyang, Pulisic, Weigl and Dembele, just like that day in 2008 when Bayern rejected Chelsea's yuge bid and kept Ribery.
