Been much better the last 5 minutes or so. Did well with his first touch, but misses the shot into the side netting.
He offers nothing as a tactical announcer and just regurgitates anything you could say for any league. Knows nothing about any of the players. It’s beyond awful
Decided to watch this one instead of Schalke, looks like I made the right choice. Renya looks like he has slipped centrally and is now more involved in the attack. Good game to get his confidence back. Could his natural spot be at CAM.
I think Reyna's issue has been his style of play. He plays nonchalantly and it will work for him as long as the opponent respects his offense. Once the game gets tight, he is forced to make an error because of the way he plays. The same thing happened last November, the difference was we had a solid mid to bail him out.
Hmm. Still disagree. He has made some more expansive comments (eg Dortmund's business plan) but these are directly pertinent to the match in front of him. I have always preferred that approach to the one practiced by noise machines like, say, Ray Hudson. And the suggestion that he doesn't know about the league is strange given he played and coached in it for more than a decade.
Great stuff by Sancho getting the defense on the back foot, drawing three defenders, and nice shot from distance by Dahoud. Good stuff. Can they play with some confidence now, please?
I'd be subbing in Zagadou instead of tending to Can's head wound. With five subs, a 1-0 lead, and a guy who might be a better defender on the bench? But maybe that's too "youth soccer coach" of me.
Ref was way too quick on the trigger there. Should have waited just one more second to play the advantage.
That's exactly the kind of goal that can make a player relax and play a bit better too. Disappointed for Gio.
At least Sancho buries the penalty and it's 2-0. Bummer that Reyna's quick anticipation sitter doesn't count.
