    Can a thread promotion be far behind?

    BVB has some poor energy surrounding the team.

    This game is exactly why I love the Bundesliga. My favorite league.

    This was the last situation I'd have expected him to come on. On the road with defending as the primary task up a goal.

    Haaland is a major game changer for Dortmund. Finally they have a target and he occupies two defenders with his merciless runs, freeing up space for his teammates. And he's a lethal finisher. Makes them a contender in Champions' League.

    A f****** hat trick! Wow. No doubt he’s a game changer! Best Bundesliga debut ever? It has to be argued given the minutes played.

    What in the name of Erling Haaland is taking so long for Gio's thread to be promoted to the senior forum!?

    Maybe busy promoting the thread of a premier league teenager instead.

    Gio had nice debut. He didn’t see a lot of the ball but when he did - clean touches, good decisions, correct passes and even started the play that led to the 5th goal. Hopefully this is the start of something big for the kid. I try to temper my expectations but the kid looked like he belonged. We are going to see a lot of Haland - Reyna for years to come.

    side note.....I wonder how Roy Keane feels about that Haland debut? He’s pals with Erling’s dad :D

    Gio. Good touches. Good passes. He did well in limited action.


    At least scrub Bruun Larson won’t play for bvb again.

    Looks like I'll be back to following BVB again...very fun team to watch. Props to Gio, he looked like belonged, as he did last summer, and over the break. Imagine if CP had stayed with Dortmund, how fun would that have been now.

    Does Dortmund have injuries to any attackers or he's leap frogged his way into the bench?
