    Wow the energy crisis must be hitting them hard. We all know who are the usual European scapegoats.

    Gio's level in the game screams EPL to me.

    And I'm not one to make such judgments easily. Problem may be injuries, like with Puli.

    At least, unlike most of our players over there, he's clearly above Championship level in my eyes.

    I'm backing La Liga while recognizing he could get a lot of money thrown at him by a Prem side.

    La Liga would be interesting, but risky. Highly technical players are common there. What he does with the ball would look a lot more impressive in England, IMO.

    Until he got two footed and then told to get up by a muppet ref.

    Looks they are still easing him in. The attacking talent looks better on the bench than in the starting 11. Would think he will get some time off the bench after 2 straight goals.

    When you have had that many injuries I can see why that is. He still has a key role, which is to help score as often as their leaky defense give up goals.

    Dont discount the talent of his competition. This Adeyemi kid is super quality based on what I’ve seen today.

    Hard worker, quick, strong plays from end line to end line. Got his first BL goal.

    Dortmund up 1-0 at the half. They were under pressure for the first 25 minutes and a bit lucky not to concede. Game was pretty choppy and disjointed after the goal.

    Reyna probably less likely to get a lot of minutes today if Dortmund keep the lead.

    Don’t worry, Dortmund will concede a goal. This is Dortmund after all.

    He's pretty raw imo but good pace on the counter for sure.

    I guess 2 game winning goals in sequential games isn’t enough to get you off the bench in Dortmund.
