2016 - 17 General Discussion Thread

We were the only team to not lose to Madrid in the CL this year

 

In fairness.... the reffing in the last game was an absolute joke. Bayern deserved to go through.

 

Apparent Champions League kit. Not loving it.....

United States' Christian Pulisic 'thankful' for Tuchel's influence

"I'm just very thankful for everything [Tuchel] did for me," Pulisic said during a promotional event on Monday. "It's tough in professional sports when a coach has to go like this, especially after a pretty good season. But we're excited to see who we get and I think the team will be just fine."

"Tuchel always just trusted me and gave me a chance," said Pulisic. "Of course he's given me tips and feedback with what he sees every day in training and stuff like that, small things."

Tuchel's last game in charge was a 2-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in the DFB Pokal final, Pulisic's first trophy as a professional and one that will linger long in his memory.

"It was really special, especially after a tough season like that with a lot of ups and downs," said Pulisic. "To finish it with a trophy was just a really good feeling. Just to see the excitement on [my teammates'] faces after that was just really amazing to me."

 

Watching Pulisic play ACM for the USA, one wonders if he is wasted at BVB on the wing. Pulisic played centrally a few times in early March and scored and much the same rate that he is scoring now for the USA (4 goals/3 assists in 4 games).

 

Pulisic is on the 40-player preliminary roster for the Gold Cup. I think he'll play in the knockout stages (the squad can be rotated after the group stage).

 

Never mind:

As somebody had already said on this forum when we signed him - he is the next Ballon D'or winner in the making.

 

Hi there, Norwich fan here. I wanted to try to speak to some Dortmund II fans to see if I could find out more about our new manager Farke and our new defender Zimmerman. Sorry for posting here, I wanted to start a new thread but the site wouldnt let me for some reason. Does anyone who follows the U23's have anything interesting to say about them?

For instance, what are we likely to see in terms of approach? How did he set Dortmund II up last season? Does he like the Gegenpressen style. Anything would be appreciated! Thanks

 

And it gets worse....

On top of Reus and Weigl, RG has now apparently suffered a leg fracture playing with Portugal today.......

 

Athletic tights are the gift of the gods.
