Borussia Dortmund V FC Bayern

Live on BT Sport tomorrow presumably. Please post all tactical previews and colour pieces in this thread.

I read Dortmund’s first choice back four are unavailable while Ribery is injured for Bayern. Will this be televised live on BT?

Yes

Sporting highlight of the weekend this is, along with the Munster final on Sunday.
Dortmund are crippled with injuries. Free agent Manuel Friedrich has been signed up to provide cover. Him, Sokratis or young Durm could be in there tomorrow. Alternatively, Grosskreutz or Sven Bender could fill in.
Tough beat for them, unbeaten home record against Hollywood fc since 2009 in serious danger. Reception for Gotze should be nice too.

Sokratis will surely be playing anyway. I’d guess Durm or Bender to partner him with Friedrich on the bench.

Timing is awful for BVB with injuries but also with CL returning next week and they’ve ground to make up there too.

Subotic is out for the season and Hummels until January. Schmelzer is also injured. Piszczek had an outside chance of retuning but he hasn’t played this season.

Wonderful rendition of YNWA by the Dortmund faithful there.
Munich fans unfurl a large european cup flag in their section.
Clarse atmosphere.

Jesús that’s a weak Borussia back four.

What a chance for Lewandowski, wrongly flagged offside though.
Dotmund defence with a couple of edgy efforts at clearances already.

The flag was just for a goal kick. Horrible miss.

Sokratis is a class act.

Brave from Neuer there but Munich got lucky.

Oh it’s hairy any time Munich get into the Dortmund box

Dortmund on top.

First time, Kuba

Ah really needed to swing a leg at that as soon as it came to him.

Weidenfeller was very poor there, he got really lucky.

Mandzukic is vile.

Grosskreutz and Mandzukic like a couple of rutting stags there.

As forum favourite Danny Dyer would say, its gettin propa nawty there at the break.

If ever there was a player who was made for Glasgow Rangers then it has to be Mario Mandzukic. A fucking thug of a footballer with no redeemable qualities.
