Been to two games this season and we lost both of them. Looks like I might have to avoid going to the match again this season for the greater good ☹️

It's probably for the best. We don't need a jinx spoiling things for us :lol:

Freezing? Shorts and T-shirt weather this man you soft bastard. I'm watching the match in my garden having an ice bath, starkers - whilst proclaiming that I like it hot me like, but not this hot.

VERY VERY UNLUCKY NOT TO GET AT LEAST A POINT LAST NIGHT AGAINST A WELL DRILLED AND EXPERIENCED DORTMUND TEAM.   THE STATS DON'T LIE WE WERE BETTER THAN THEM FOR THE MOST PART ALTHOUGH BOTH

We probably need to beat Dortmund away to finish top 2 cos of the head-to-head rule. Not sure we can do that.

 

But dropping into the EL which we could feasibly win (and thereby secure CL next season) wouldn't be the worst thing either. That's what happens for third, doesn't it?

Would we, the grind of Thursday Sunday games would be worse for our small first choice team.

We probably would be better on concentrating on winning the league cup, a guaranteed a place in the Europa League next season and actually winning a fucking cup.

At least we might get some decent thread titles back instead of Pugwall's bummers.

Thursday / Sunday is the same as Wednesday / Saturday really.

My two pence:

 

A very tough and frustrating game. Dortmund are no mugs and just about edged it though we hit the woodwork twice and Wilson should have scored so a draw would have been a fair result. Got our work cut out now and might have to win away to qualify. Disappointing after the PSG performance promised so much.

 

I felt there wasn’t as much snap in our press as usual and  a few players were below their best - notably trippier and Bruno, who seemed to misplace more passes than usual.
 

Though credit to Dortmund there for smothering our two best players and stopping them play. Bruno held on to the ball for too long on a few occasions when there were balls on in behind. And when we did try to play it through our passes we’re often misplaced - not helped by the weather. 

 

The flag display was great but the atmosphere after that was fairly subdued. Lots of supporters stayed behind to clap them off though which tells you that the crowd appreciated the players’ effort even if they did fall slightly short this time. 

 

Shots at 12am seemed like a good idea at the time. Hanging out my arse on the train home now after about 4 hours sleep 

 

The weather was absolutely filthy from the moment I got off the train, which didn’t help the mood.

Dortmund were great on the break.  Trippier got little help on his side from Miggy which at times cause Lascelles to be pulled out of position.

 

At the start of the draw when we saw the opposition who would have had us on 4 points with a +ve goal difference?

It seemed like Miggy was playing to a game plan from Howe that didn't come off. People might like to drag him for his decision making when attacking but no one can argue against his defensive work rate, so last night was a bit odd from him in that regard; especially considering the pace that Trippier was up against all game.
