    It's not even that his finishing needs work, it's that he always over dribbles in the box, lol. just take some shots man

    Delaney has been the best Dortmund player this second half, IMO.

    Not that good in the 2nd half, after doing so much right in the 1st.

    In reality I just think Spurs are top to bottom a better team, and are currently playing like it. But the counter still seems like it could be on, in moments.

    I think it almost all of it comes back to his tendency to try and solve every problem with his play or in a game by playing harder rather than smarter. In the case where he fumbled the ball on the break, it's because the pass was behind him so he needed to check back to the football, while simultaneously his mind was thinking to get fw ASAP. When he gets chances around the box instead of setting up the defender with a subtle move and taking an early shot he keeps dribbling himself into to's and bad angles. And his dribble moves are very basic.

    I'm always amazed when teams facing a high line don't directly test it more often...

    edit: like how Spurs just did.

    1-0 is not a bad result, and frankly Tottenham has been very imprecise too. Not a particularly memorable Champions match, let's be honest.

    Add Hakimi to that list. He's a shitty defender.

    Sancho-Hakimi on the right, Favre forgot neither can defend well.

    I said this before.

    Hakimi is an attacking winger that masquerade as a fullback.

    I bet he spent more time on the other team's half, versus his own half where he's supposed to defend.
