Sancho, Weigl and Reus have been so so poor.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Great header. Bayern been the better side. Sancho looks a bit nervous so far.
Dortmund so sloppy.. First Sancho who should have play in Bruun Larsen, Götze fecking up his pass when they were like 5 v 2 and finally Reus big 1 v 1 miss.. They still have enough about them to turn this around but wow have they missed a great opportunity to be 2, 3 goals up.
Reus is having a shockingly bad game until now. Should have had two assists already. If I was a teammate of his, I’d be fuming right now.
Otherwise, everything is going exactly as expected. We’re still the better team and it was quite obvious, that our players would be at their best. After all, this game matters and will be seen around the world. Next game will be bad again.

fun fact: Kimmich and Gnabry are the only Bayern players on the pitch which didn't compete in the UCL final of 2013. 
(if im not mistaken)
Says it all about Bayerns recent transfer politic.

I knew i missed one.
Witsel is doing sweet FA.
He's hiding in midfield

Well, you are wrong. Goretzka is also on the pitch and Hummels/Lewandowski switched sides and certainly doesn't say anything engative about the recent "transfer politic". There isn't any reason why players like Müller, Alaba, Boateng, Martinez and Neuer couldn't or shouldn't still play for us. The only questionable one is Ribery and he has a good game so far.fun fact: Kimmich and Gnabry are the only Bayern players on the pitch which didn't compete in the UCL final of 2013.

They shouldn’t be.
I was wrong with Goretzka, yes.
What am I watching? I swear mid table sides in the EPL pose a better standard than this.
Sancho has been poor
They both lead their groups?
Not great advertising for the Bundesliga. I really don't know why Dortmund are so bad. I swear, they've been cuckolded by Bayern for years now.
Gets overlooked a lot, too. Dortmund look afraid. This game is too big for them.
I think Zagadou may have broken Martinez' face
Nah, he's fine.
Nah, he's fine.
He doesn't look ready for this level
Anyone got a link to a river that doesn't freeze every 10s? Cheers.
Dortmund are afraid of Bayern.
Freiburg gave Bayern more of a match last week in Munich.

I live in the Czech Republic and for 8 years I had the Bundesliga rights through Eurosport. I religiously watched 5 games a weekend for 8 years. The coverage moved away last year, so this is the first Bundesliga I have made an effort to watch since then. Wished I hadnt bothered, very poor from both sides. Where is my Kagawa?
High stakes but it is a poor match.
Bayern are doing what they have to do but Dortmund won't be delivering. The magnitude of the occasion is too much for them.
Akaji is such a coward on the ball, has he even attempted a forward pass? Goes back to Hitz when no one is close to him. Worse than Smalling.
I thought my stream had frozen for 2 years Is Ribery still playing? No idea why they sold Douglas Costa
He is and he's running around players ten years younger than him.
Too one-dimensional.
I think Dortmund miss a ball playing CM. A very strong and fast attack but nothing to link defence to attack, which I understand is part of the counter-attack style but it stops them from really dominating games.
It's worth remembering that Liverpool vs City this year was a dull and boring match. I doubt the world would watch that and quake in their boots.
Dortmund really lacking in the final 3rd.
Badly need a striker..

Costa at Basyern stopped playing the second he smelled more money somewhere else.
A one-legged Ribery on a Walker woulds stil be twice the player Costa is.
The more even matched the teams, the more boring the games usually get.
Witsel is that CM. He's been great during the season as in the heart of their build up and also supporting their defense from midfield.
Bayern's trying much harder than they ever did this season. Completely focused and fighting. Just look at Riberys defensive workrate. On a day like this Bayern can still defeat any team in the world.
Dortmund were poor in the first half, I expected much more from them. Sancho didn't impress either.
Not gonna watch the second half. . . Very poor match. Shame.
I feel like a lot of people don't know how Favre lets his team play. It's typical for him to let his team sit deep and narrow and allow the opposition to venture deep into his team's half. In that regard Dortmund were the tactically superior team imho. Letting Bayern venture forward, but not allowing them good shots and then exploiting the space behind them on the break, it's vintage Favre until the final third..
But unfortunately for them Dortmund messed up their promising counter attacks and Bayern eventually did get through and scored and after that I don't think Dortmund have adapted too well (or at all) to the new situation. Weigl seems off-beat, Sancho - again - out of his depth, Reus not converting a chance he usually should. It makes for a lot of misunderstandings in attack and little pressure with the ball.

Yeah, makes you wonder about how much of this is Kovac's fault.
Nah, let's not get carried away. They should have sunk us already with counters.
why Alcacer hasnt on yet? Is he injury?
Ribery and Robben are still world class on their day. Amazing considering their age.
It never really worked out with him. The mistake was not signing anyone else and thinking Ribery was still good enough. That was completely ridiculous.
I’d take Costa over Ribery right now anyway. But that’s just me.
