The thing Dortmund is lacking right now is consistency. They beat Red Bull three times, but lost 1-5 to Stuttgart at home. They had phases where they could not win for the life of them. It happens with younger teams, but I fear that the class players will be in other clubs before they can become consistant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I think this year is just weird. Look at how many teams, in all leagues, have been terrible at home and above average on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll always remember telling my (English) music teacher the next day that Wimbledon had beaten Liverpool just for his completely gobsmacked reaction. He was literally slack-jawed. What ever happened to that Vince Jones kid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow that rarely makes the highlight videos. Of course technically Beasant's penalty save was also against the rules, though admittedly everyone was breaking the 'goalkeeper can't move' rule and he did play a blinder that day. BUT it was this dubious penalty save lead to John Aldridge introducing the controversial stutter-step to his penalty run-up - eventually the rule was changed and officially goalies could move and takers could stutter-step. So this save had ramifications beyond the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at how many teams, in all leagues, have been terrible at home and above average on the road. It is definitely true that home advantage can't be that big if there are no crowds. But some teams who I was sure would be in trouble were doing quite well, like Union Berlin and Freiburg. Dortmund may have down a little better with fans, but I think it was mostly their coach not getting through to them anymore at one point plus the afromentioned maturity thing.

Guest Jimbo_Tsuruta Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Glad that the lad Jebbison put a spanner in the works against Everton, but sounds like he'll be off to a big club before he can have crack at the Championship. Hopefully can get a big fee for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Aston Villa doing Leicester City a favour beating Chelsea 2-0 as Leicester are 2-1 up against Tottenham Hotspur. I'd like Leicester City to get a Champions League spot having been in the top four in all but one week, the football played by the Foxes and how the club is run by the owners. Chelsea going from two finals and top four to losing two of the three! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
