Großkreutz on who he'd like to face in the quarters: "For me, it would be a dream to one day play in a full Camp Nou against Barcelona."
After the Zenit match: "I've never played against Barcelona. That would be something."

Good lad.

I read Roman say something similar. The BVB boys sure like us. :D

Something about their fitness training is clearly wrong... this can't be bad luck anymore, reminds me of Arsenal's injuries in the last few years

IMO it has to do with Klopp. He demands too much from his players. You see the way Dormund play and that intensity is simply unsustainable.

Klopp reminds me a lot of Tom Thibodeau, current coach of the Chicago Bulls. Brilliant coach and able to squeeze every ounce of talent out of his players, some of which are really average at best. However, he pays the price for this excessive demand out of his players during the waning parts of the regular season and into the playoffs, when his players are just beat up and injured.

Coach is just too intense and doesn't know any other gear than top gear.

From last year's team that destroyed Real 4-1 only 4 players will play the 1/4 finals...Roman/Hummels/Piszczek/Reus.

Two of those were sidelined for several months because of injuries and Reus has been injured as well,so there might not be even 4.

Simply a horrendous season for BVB...everything that could have possibly gone wrong with the squad,did,and worse.

Good point the Thibs one.

I guess he is, yeah, it's a bit weird they haven't updated it yet.

And yeah, I think the playstyle is taking it's toll, which is why I find posts that are like, "we need to go 100% every single game all the time" to be pretty ludicrous.

Reus has been training apart from the team the last couple of days but I think he is expected to play some minutes tomorrow, not too sure about that though. He should be fit for the CL matches however.
