They Needed a Minivan but Got a Gio: Reyna at Nottingham Forest (Olf Borussia Dortmund)

Might have been answered previously but was it him on the far post run wide open when Reus scored? That player was calling for the pass to be played across for the simple tap in, but of course Reus was never passing that ball, which is what makes him Marco Reus. Nothing wrong with that, unless of course you don't score, and the other guy is named Ronaldo. Then you're going to hear it.

 

He definitely was.

 

Stinks as that would have been a tap in for him and a really nice confidence boost.

 

I just re-read the article about him and his family. About his older brother. Claudio and Danielle were both pro athletes in Germany and would travel to cities all over Germany and nearby countries to not be bored. Now because of covid Gio can't do anything like that and probably his family can't visit him and he's 4-5 years younger. Tough times to be a pro athlete in a foreign country. I'd say it will make him stronger but going through what he has with his brother I imagine he's already quite strong. He'll be fine soon.

A win, but BVB are in dire need of some leadership. Both in coaching and on the field.

 

There were so many moments where Stuttgart cut them open. Dortmund commit a lot of guys forward at the expense of their defense, sometimes needlessly. They just squeaked the 3 points. Once they lose 2 or 3 of their attacking pieces they're toast.

 

Wong week for Wolfs to be giving up points. Keeping things interesting in the Bund.

 

He played quite well today. Assist on one goal and heavily influenced the 2nd goal beating his man on the dribble.

Mostly a great Saturday for our Yanks. Let’s hope McKenzie starts for Genk, and McKenzie has a major impact for Juventus tomorrow.

 

That's asking a lot of McKenzie.

 

Stuttgart away is a tough one. The win was a good result.

 

I noticed that last night but couldn’t put together a joke that wasn’t a cheap shot at the poster.

well played sir!

Reyna's career is gonna be full of sick little moves like that. I like the Kaka comparison.

 

wonder if gio doesnt grow another inch or two and end up bigger than kaka

 

Yes, he also reminds me of Kaka and looks like he could become a beefier version.

 

I like that. He can be a boss.

 

Reyna with a 3.0 Kicker rating. Wee bit above average on the day.

 

He's well over 18 years old and is definitely not a late bloomer so that's not going to happen.

 

Robin Van Persie for me, but same basic concept, he is smooth and stylish.

 

Lol kickr knows nothing. He was 2.5

 

Kicker pencils Reyna to start

 

I don't know what to believe anymore.
