    Spurs havemore posession and still have not regestered a shot on goal. They are playing to concede nothing.

    There are no out and out striker on the field. This will be a long game

    I'd imagine Pulisic would be a contender here,

    Pulisic didn't even get in there for their shootout against Werder. Witsel did, so I'd assume he's ahead of Pulisic in normal gameplay.

    Right, and BVBs midfield trio of Dahoud, Delaney and Witsel is simply not good enough to take control of the match. That's been the problem. Tottenham's midfield plays safe balls, BVB not good enough to win it, and when they do, aren't clean enough or accurate enough with the passing to get it out to Sancho and Pulisic, while Mario's mobility hasn't been enough to play a False 9. He's playing more like a striker

    Do we know who was going to take Dortmund's fifth shot? Since it didn't get that far?

    A simple Tottenham press and some terrible Dortmund marking, and it's 1-0.

    Upside is that BVB will be playing a lot more forcefully now

    No, but Pulisic hasn't taken a penalty for a club in like, 5 years.

    Vertonghen man of the match, out of position, dealing with Sancho, and making the cross there. BVB has to push for the road goal.

    Son's good. Looks like the Spuds have finally come out to play.

    Pulisic steal and plays to Gotze, who promptly turns it over.

    pulisic needs to give them options on the left. stretch the field, do something. they are looking very stagnant in attack

    As I have said before, Gotze is too slow, especially against Spuds.

    You need Phillip in this game with this pace.

    The Ajax-Real is so much more intense than this game.
