Dortmund's shock defeat (even with the Bundesliga giving them an extra days rest) means they are both pout of form and in dire need of league points, how hard will they try to overturn a three nil deficit? We just need to be on our game and we've got this .....
Dortmund just lost. Really out of form. No silly mistakes & we should go through fairly comfortably. Great time to play them.
Good point.
Likely they could go down to 2nd tomorrow - will they really bust a gut at home to us in the CL? or will they focus on the Bundesliga?

I would think overturning a 3-0 then facing some massive European teams is far harder than hanging in there in a league 2 horse race with worst Bayern team in a while
If I was them would focus more on league
Could say the same about us.
You have a shit mentality. This is why we are still losers, because we believe we can focus more on something and ignore others. A winning team goes out to win every game and not sack off the cups or Wolves and Burnley (or pretty much every match for 9 months).
True about our form too. That is a concern. But we couldn't be playing Dortmund at a better time. They could be in that great form they were in a while ago. We won't get many better opportunities than a 3-0 head start against an out of form team in the CL knockout stages.Could say the same about us.

For sure. If we beat Woolwich than we will be in a better frame of mind to conquer Dortmund. Lose to Woolwich & the doubts could set in for the Dortmund match. Massive 2 games which will shape our season & all of our moods for the rest of March!Let’s hope we get our act together against Woolwich. Lose our 3rd in a row, and I’m sure Dortmund will be similarly encouraged.

Dortmund in similar poor form to us. They have to score so will come at us early on and we’ll just have to pick them off on the counter with pace from Sonny and Moura
I think there’s a selection problem here for Poch. I would rest one of Kane or Son, but which one?
Kane has come back from 6 weeks out and played 3 in a week.
Son has come back from Asia and not had too great of a rest.
This game is huge, but so is Southampton on the weekend, especially with Woolwich playing United.
Strongest team possible. No experimentation. I hope Winks and/or Dier is back (how long does tonsilitis put you out for?)
