Not too worry Godfrey, I'd love to see Borussia win and take off to a flying start into cup and league.
But if they loose, well, it could be a different story. Football is a mindgame.
Look at Xhaka and de Jong, they are both exellent players in my humble opinion, but it seems they can't get their act together in most matches all due to lack of confidence.

Have to disagree, I didn't see him playing well under pressure. He was caught ball watching before Thiago's 3:0, played a couple of sloppy passes. Not that the other defenders played any better.
oldparish hat geschrieben:Also why do we try and play in our own penalty area?If it means "lumping" (as we say here) the ball up field when we are under pressure then let's do it. Give ourselves a little breathing space. How often, especially against FCB did we give the ball away around our box trying to play it out?
Good point.
T'was dreadful, and once or twice I wasn't able to stand by and watch it and headed out.
But it was a friendly after all, let's keep our fingers crossed that they're not behaving as naive as that anymore, and that Borussia will get a result in München.
