I couldn't help but laugh when the fourth (?) crap corner in a row went right through three Dortmund defenders.
And yeah, hopefully.
I don't get how he's so good at crossing from open play but shit at corners

I am shocked that none in Bilbao has gotten a red card. Their whole troop got yellow card by now this game.
Yeah the game is crazy.

Well, could we have shut you down? The last two goals were (from what looked like rather poorly executed) set pieces. No way to shut that down except with generally better defending.

I'm still in shock they did it after being 2 goals down twice.

I wish this was the final instead. Watch us draw Shakhtar and get destroyed for some weird reason.
C'mon Bilbao, beat Sevilla!

Yup, but at the end of the day we may end up failing in both games.7 changes for lfc. It's all about the return leg on Thursday.Holy shit, Tuchel doesn't give two fucks about the derby
Heh.
What if Tuchel is our
Arsene
I was so tempted to quote everyone after FT. Shit talking just makes you look bad whatever the outcome.
Yes we all knew Dortmund would collapse....
It's good to look back on things and see how wrong you are sometimes. But you had the added advantage of seeing it when it is all done.
A world champion who played the final in wembley and rio shouldnt say something like this.
The collapse started on Coutinho's goal really, and it was deathly silent at the time. Sounds like he's making excuses.
Step right up! Step right up! See the man who can get football predictions wrong all the time!
Every away team crashed out except for Bayern XD
I don't know. If it wasn't for Boateng in Rio, we surely lost it there. The last couple of cup games where Dortmund could have won something were all lost because of shit defending. Partly his fault. But the game against Liverpool was lost by Tuchel.
Fuck Bayern!

I am (quite literally) anxious about Tuchel. Will he learn of his mistakes ? Will Dortmund grow and do the wise thing which is to leave this to the past and focus on the future ?

What exactly did Tuchel do wrong yesterday?
Actually, the team was spot on. A quick 0-2 that lasted until the half, everything fine there. After the half, we unfortunately conceded instantly, however, the team reacted well and scored the 1-3. And at that point (which is the more interesting thing Hummels said) our players thought the game was done. Which showed at the goals we conceded, Coutinho's shot should have been avoided/blocked and we needed better marking/defending on the other two goals.
And really, we did okay controlling the game, which obviously sounds hilarious after the result. Liverpool had chances but not so many great ones. And the last two goals they've scored were goals that don't happen in 90% of the matches. I was about to say "it's amazing how many shit corners professional players are able to pull off" before Sakho's goal put me quiet. And for the last goal, Sturridge almost lost possession before Milner's cross. With just a bit of luck, at least one of these goals could have been prevented.

I'd guess we only had 4 shots on target, they just all happened to go in. It is definitely down to a bit of luck. Dortmund did well to contain us otherwise.

Yeah, it was one of these Kloppo nights.
Anyway, what I also found remarkable was how both Klopp and Dortmund did not take adavantage of their knowledge of each other. On Klopp's side, I wondered how he allowed Hummels so much freedom. Plenty of matches have shown that if you mark Hummels, we have problems going forward. But Klopp didn't really bother to do so and Hummels scored a goal in the home match and had an assist yesterday. And for Dortmund, everyone (except Weigl and Castro) should know that Klopp teams never give up. And that surprised even players like Hummels who played the full seven years under Klopp.
maybe rangnick can help him out
It's not the first time Liverpool have done it the hard way..
I'd prefer the klopp effect to be a routine 2-0 win.

Of course but they would of never done that with Rodgers in charge.
Don't worry we will have some nice punches for Ronaldo in the final.
I really hope for a Liverpool - Sevilla final. They have to stop them winning it 3 times back to back.
