He´s really complaining about that yellow card? Maybe we wanted red. :rolleyes:

I just tuned in - did Hargreaves just say this was a derby, or did I mishear him? I must've done since there are 600 km between the two cities.

This is a great game to watch. Expected Bayern to have the upper hand though, very surprised at how Dortmund have controlled proceedings for the most part.

This has been a great game so far. Tactically on point even if some of the touches in the final phases are falling short individually. Superb 0-0 thus far.

Reus not getting the ball enough. He should act more as a playmaker rather than a second striker.

Reus has been a bit shit this first half. Good game, fantastic rhythm so far.

What a brilliant first half. Two teams with really interesting set ups tactically. Muller and Costa missed sitters, Reus was awful in front of goal with a few half chances for Robben, Lewandoski, Durm and Auba. The pressing from both sides is the best aspect of the game, not just the pace and energy, but the set ups and traps each sides set. The intensity is more like an Arsenal vs United match 15 years ago. Really enjoyable game so far , but it's always hard to bet against Bayern.

Can't believe we didn't score in the first half :(. I hope Thiago comes in for Alonso, would suit our game much better and I'm a bit worried with Alonso already on a yellow card against Dortmund's quick counterattacks.

I'm also in love with Kimmich :drool:.

Why is Bayern playing such a high defensive line against Auba! Its a matter of time before they are caught

They never really had troubles with Dortmund's counters since 12/13. The occasional loss in a German Supercup aside, Bayern have been dominating against Dortmund in the Bundesliga.
