The Sabitzer thread is the one we need to be going into. He's playing great.
It depends on if he apologises to the manager and the rest of the squad and gets on with it. It won’t happen but that’s the only way.He has to be done. Otherwise it continues the recent player power. Sends the message players are bigger than the manager. You just need to outlast the latest manager
fecking him off and getting Amrabat instead is another of the many confusing decisions we’ve made recentlyThe Sabitzer thread is the one we need to be going into. He's playing great.
Urgh don’t even want to think about this… how did this happen?fecking him off and getting Amrabat instead is another of the many confusing decisions we’ve made recently
I'd say he was decent. Lost some balls, but was also involved in some great chances, like giving the pre-assist to the 2-0. Still nothing special, but far from being awful.He has 6.4 on SofaScore, in a game where Dortmund are winning 4:2.
I'm assuming he was awful?
Let's also not forget his wages. Even if he didn't play bad ( I thought he was average) did he play like a 320 thousand pound per week kind of player? A superstar? I do not think so.He had a few decent bits of link up play, like the nice pass to Sabitzer for the Brandt goal but he's not been all that good. He's tried getting past his man but failed to beat the full back more often than not. I don't think he was as bad as others have made out but he failed to make a significant mark on the game.
Not that he needs another stick to be beaten with right now but I don’t sense that our Erik is great at building a squadUrgh don’t even want to think about this… how did this happen?
Awful is probably an overstatement, he wasn't good though. Lost the ball trying to take on his full back too much. Wasn't guilty of missing big chances or fecking up good attacking situations but generally didn't have a huge impact on attacks for Dortmund. Sabitzer and Brandt were more at the heart of the good attacking play.He has 6.4 on SofaScore, in a game where Dortmund are winning 4:2.

He did well at United considering the circumstances, was surprised we didn’t sign him.The Sabitzer thread is the one we need to be going into. He's playing great.
Absolutely not, certainly not the type of performance that will have BVB thinking seriously about buying him.Let's also not forget his wages. Even if he didn't play bad ( I thought he was average) did he play like a 320 thousand pound per week kind of player? A superstar? I do not think so.
He had injuries and we wouldn’t use our (limited) funds on him?Urgh don’t even want to think about this… how did this happen?
We spent 60 million on Mason Mount.He had injuries and we wouldn’t use our (limited) funds on him?
Because they play different positions and Sabitzer wasn’t great for us when he was where? Pretty simple.Urgh don’t even want to think about this… how did this happen?
Some would say overtly conservativeHe's always just neat and pointless
tbf people seem mostly disappointed with not signing Sabitzer? Sancho is irrelevant in this teamWow some very disappointed posters in here
Congrats Sancho gone further in the Champions League than we have in over ten years
No he didn't. He was average at best.He did well at United considering the circumstances, was surprised we didn’t sign him.
Glad we didn’t. Bang average.He did well at United considering the circumstances, was surprised we didn’t sign him.
Djimi Traore is a Champions league winner, shall we get him in as manager?Matched ETH's career highlight today. Fair play.
And let’s forget about Xabi Alonso, what a loser.Djimi Traore is a Champions league winner, shall we get him in as manager?
Sabitzer was average when played deep. Looked a fair bit better when played in a more attacking role though.No he didn't. He was average at best.
Agreed, at best the argument is we should have signed Sabitzer and not bothered with Mount last summer. Amrabat has been poor but it's the right type of player we needed and still need...just at a much higher level.Sabitzer was average when played deep. Looked a fair bit better when played in a more attacking role though.
It seemed to make sense to let him go and bring in Amrabat, but then ETH's turned around and changed our tactics this season to play with two attacking midfielders so in hindsight it is a bit strange we weren't interested in bringing Sabitzer in full-time.
I just don't think that could ever happen, and don't think he has the right mentality for the very top level.And if he comes back and finds good form? (longshot I know)
In fairness he played that role for two games and then his season was over.Sabitzer was average when played deep. Looked a fair bit better when played in a more attacking role though.

It's not going terrible either. He is well involved in Dortmund's play and justifies his starting spot in the team, but he definitely isn't as effective for them as he once was.His loan spell is not going well, is it? Not a good indicator for the future.
Hannover, schiess ein Tor! Sorry, got carried away.It's not going terrible either. He is well involved in Dortmund's play and justifies his starting spot in the team, but he definitely isn't as effective for them as he once was.
