Did you forget your brain cells this morning?


Great shot for BVB's first real trophy in five years.

Dortmund have lost their last four cup finals, including each of the last three DFB Pokalfinale. Though Frankfurt are a solid team, BVB are clearly better, and it's about time this club got back to winning silverware.

Make it happen, Tuchel.


Fantastic match so far. Blow by blow, another BM-BVB classic

Despite the officiating.


And the lack of finishing by Bayern

Match should have been over by the 60th minute. Lewy has been dreadful.


Would Ancelloti's job be in jeopardy? *

Interesting enough...

Nagelsmann, the 29 year old Hoffenheim manager, was in the stands dressed in all red tonight.

I can't imagine this costs Carlito his job. Refs/injuries really did him in. Well, that and his non-rotation policy and playing four guys over the age of 32 like five straight games in a row in over 25 days.

But probably not.


It's time for Franck to be done

He still creates chances, but not of the quality before he started getting hurt all the time. Since Costa has clearly checked out (and as useless as always today), I hope the Alexis (and the Walker) rumors are true.

Get another winger and you've got a backup to Lewy and someone on the left side (Alexis at LW or #9).


On the same page...

winger and RB, also a backup for Lewy. Play Kimmich in the middle where he belongs, not at RB.

Alexis/Carrasco for winger, sell Costa, buy Coman.

RB I'll take Walker but he'll have an inflated English price.


Walker would cost 45

And it wouldn't be inflated.


A Costa/Walker trade makes that cost effective

Probably 10-14m for Walker in that scenario.


A lot of this can be put on injuries

I don't think Lewy is 100%. Boateng and Hummels are both playing hurt. They have no defensive depth whatsoever.

That said, it's hard to look at this season as anything but a failure if they lose today.


Oh Robben!

That 85' hesitation will hurt
