Dortmund have beeb a joy to watch in this first half hour.

 

[Mandieta6]

Lewy doesn't seem to be at his best level but my God, that kid is awesome at playing with his back to goal, playig some great passes for the attackers to run onto. I'm loving Schmelzer this year, too.

Edit: Haha, just as I say that Inui plays a great pass in behind him and Aigner misses but (shitty) Kadlec scores. Hummels enabled Aigner though, that wwas his fault.

 

[Mandieta6]

1-1 at HT. Hummels was awesome in playig passes to the attack but shit in the defensive third and he's off for Sokratis (possibly due tto a knock).

Sokratis starts off well, I love that guy.

 

[Mandieta6]

Mkhtaryan with a great 2nd goal with his left foot. I like Aigner more and more.

 

[Mandieta6]

The rest if the match was pretty tame. Now watching Leverkusen, Schalke 1-0 up from a freekick in a peetty poor match. Schalke have more posession but do nothig with it and Leverkusen are mire dangerous but are looking to pounce.

Only now do I realise tthat Schalke signed Aogo.

 

[Mandieta6]

2-0 Schalke (although both goals were from set-pieces and neither side played well) . Bayer cpuld use a creator alongside Bender.

Wish they could sign Holtby. Bender-Rolfes-Holtby could be a balanced midfield.

 

[Mandieta6]

I agree, I think Holtby is still Spurs' best bet at AMC when fit though.

There is no way Leverkusen would start Rolfes over Reinartz. I think the only possible substitute for Reinartz in Leverkusens current squad is Emre Can.

......Reinatz
Bender - Holtby

is an idea I like on the other hand, although Castro is not that much worse than holtby tbh.

 

[Mandieta6]

I like Castro, but he is a ja k of all trades and a master of none, and while that makes him a great squad player and a good eenough b2b, he is not at Bender's level and Hiltby is much better in the final third than he is. Can't see it, tbough, I could see tthem getting Hunt who would be a step in the right direction though.

Also watched Gladbach. Kruse was not at hus best but still scored and assisted rwo excellent goals from great moves. 4-1. I'm liking this Kramer kid, too.

 

[Mandieta6]

Watching Dortmud replay. 20 min in, Auba scored off a tight angle ffrom a Schmelzer longball and Mikky from a good counter after Lewy laid off a great ball for him. HSV playing some sort of 3-2-3-2 or 3-5-2, trying to play patiently and failing to do anything.

Watched bits if Bayern and thought it was curious that Robben play inside with Muller outside at points.

Lam scores an amazing curling shot to make it 2-1. Brilliant goals, Skip was right, good match.

 

[Mandieta6]

HSV tied through Westermann off a freekick, 25 min to go, Auba scores again off a Mikky pass after a move involcing allb4 attackers.

 

[Mandieta6]

Great counter to make it 4-2. Auba passvto a great finish by Lewy, with Reus ghosting in as a semi-assist. Reus gets his goal minutes later, too.

 

[Mandieta6]

Lewy off a Sahin cross for 6-2. Adler has been giid but he has also made some big mistakes in some of the goals.

 

[newbie original]

I see that Dortmund is off to a fast start.

It just seems like they still cannot compete with Bayern. Bayern has a deeper squad and can be competitive in multiple competitions. I don't feel that Borussia Dortmund can do that.

 

[Mandieta6]

Not to the extent that Bayern can, certainly not with the injuries they have right now, but they'll get there.

The word "bonobo" comes from the Bantu words which loosely translate to "ancestor".

 

[Mandieta6]

Dortmund need to sign Volland pronto, the kid is class.

 

[kp41]

Eintracht Braunschweig are very weak for Bundesliga!!
