I thought it would be an evenly matched game honestly. To be fair though, Liverpool started with an almost full strength side, BVB missing Hummels, Subotic, Reus etc.
No, not really. He has always been shit. Except for Alaba, there are no good LBs in the Bundesliga. Okay, Rodriguez (Wolfsburg) is pretty good as well.
IMO, even Durm is better than Schmelzer and sure as shit has a lot more potential.
