The match has kicked off. The starting line up is: Burki, Durm, Ginter, Sokratis, Schmelzer, Weigl, Castro, Reus, Pulisic, Auba and Kagawa. We are plahing some good stuff early on and should be winning.
We should be winning. Reus guilty of misisng some good chances. Reus and Auba are linking up very well.
Our movement and chance creation is excellent but Reus having one of those days in front of goal. We should be winning comfortably, but we are leaving chances at the back.
No it was off. You need to have at least two players ahead of you, but one of those is nearly always the keeper. The keeper was behind Reus in this case.
Kagawa has faded as well in the second half. Had two bad give aways, too. Dembele and Guerreiro about to be subbed in for Reus and Kagawa.
Castro has absolutely zero ingenuity. Can't play when the ball is played in front of him. We are clearly playing a 4-2-3-1 yet Kagawa can't make it count up front.
Everytime you watch Dembele he reminds you of just how special he is. I think he will do something to win the game.
Missed key chances in the first half. However, I am slightly worried about how many players were so sloppy after the Bayern game. It's understandable but top clubs need to be relentless. Only Auba, Dembele and Reus had the right intensity.
Seeing the scenes after the game, it didn't look like he thinks he'll have a future with us. Or maybe it was just a thank you from both sides. Was just nice to see the whole stadium giving him a standing ovation.
I can imagine how frustrating it can be for a guy like PEA to play with Castro. Even Schmelzer and Durm have a decent game once in awhile. But Castro is utter crap.
