I'm surprised CP is starting.

 

why?

 

CP wins a header! i haven't said that too often

 

pulisic couldve made a better run there to give schurrle a target

 

Two runs from CP both almost awarded by Kagawa but both cut out

 

CP low cross out for a corner

 

CP would good footwork to hold possession

 

BVB looking more threatening offensively than the last few weeks

 

Both teams have missed some easy chances

 

Holy Smokes! CP with some serious central running. The entire right side left open. Could get punished later on.

 

Good cp cross on the second attempt finds Schurrle but he's dispossessed

 

hey the pbp coming guys....

stuck at work with no streams...

 

It's an exciting game so far, but that's kind of a bad sign for Dortmund if they're trading chances with the worst team in the league.

 

I feel like Burki will make a mistake and cost them points this match.

 

It's obviously very early to judge, but so far, I'd say Batshuayi is an improvement on Isak, but still a big drop off from Aubameyang.

 

CP moved to the left wing. He's combining with Kagawa.

 

Different kind of player. Early evidence suggest he is in the Drogba mode less van persie.

 

Too bad. Pulisic should have done a bit better on that. That was a great ball from Kagawa.

 

CP popping up centrally, i like it

 

Man, the #9 position for BvB is so intricate. You need have to have delicate touch, excellent timing on your runs and instinctual finishing. But if you can put it together, the goals will flow. Auba was a monster the last two years.

 

Our boy needs a goal or an assist. He doesn't look to have the same confidence he had earlier this season.

 

Nearly a red card in Da'Houd!

 

You mean right wing.
