McKennie seems to be pretty good at winning the ball back.

Has nobody told that weirdo Dave Wagner that Klopp doesn’t manage Dortmund anymore so there’s no need for him to bend over and ship a half-dozen goals today?

They're playing 3-4-3, so he's more of a left mid today.
He plays in midfield for them doesn't he?

Yes, he's been playing as LWB to be precise, but still I find it quite interesting to see how far he ventures forward and how freely he drifts inside, he had one shooting opportunity in the first half where he was positioned like a right attacking midfielder. Brandt (and now Hazard) are often on balancing duty, by staying deep and wide. These movements must create all kinds of problems for the defending team's organization.

Max Arnold been at Wolfsburg since the 90s it seems like, never really kicked on as a player.

Yea he's changed his role a bit over the years, started as a talented AM but now has developed into a good deep passer.

Can go to a bigger club and be a good squad player but I guess he's happy to be the captain and most important player at the club.

Sort of reminds me of Henderson at Liverpool.

Imagine being down 4-0 and then they put on a fresh Jadon Sancho. Might as well go gently into that goodnight.

Hertha have definitely done the worst job regarding social distancing celebrations, hugging each other and all that. Not that I blame them, keeping distance despite playing is just pointless.

Poulsen equalises with a really good header
That's pretty a good game to gauge how important a crowd is. In normal circumstances you'd expect Leipzig to find a winner, will see if it just fizzles out to a 1-1 instead.

Artificial crowd noise - yay or nay? Thought it'd be horrendous but actually worked quite well in the K-League. Stopped it from sounding entirely soulless. Hopefully the Bundesliga follows suit.
I like hearing the players and coaches shout.

Wolfsburg win it late.

Have to say Kevin Mbabu has been great down the right, can remember him barely playing at Newcastle.

May be offside from that free kick. One of those armpit ones.

Lots of elbow bumps from Freiburg coach.

1-1, Leipzig out of title race really.

Seems like Leipzeg completely bossed it, Freiburg had 2 shots, Leipzeg 19 shots.

There's only one United!
All games just like watching paint drying.
Souless football.

Football on TV without fans creating stadium atmosphere is rubbish. Didn't enjoy it at all.

which is different to UFC, which is just about OK without a crowd.

Lookman missed a sitter, and had another half chance in the end. Leipzig on the whole were underwhelming in the final third. Took too many touches in the opposition box before getting on a shot

Augsburg-Wolfsburg was a really good second half. Gave up watching Dortmund after the 3rd goal as game was long since over, would've probably been the same if 80k were in.

I do get what people are saying. No one is saying BCD is anything brilliant but realistically it's what we've got for the next six months and what we'll get in U.K when football eventually returns in that timeframe.

If anyone has got a better solution for eventually football returning here feel free.
