Dortmund Home Game

[TheCook]

Dortmund fans are my favourite of all fans (apart from arsenal fans, obviously). If only English fan groups could create a noise and an atmosphere like them.

Yeah, they were great last time ; if I remember correctly, that was the match that launched the (in)famous 'ARSENAL ARTILLERY 1886' atmosphere group on this forum.

When Jürgen Klopp was asked to describe the strengths of Arsenal FC, he demurred . "Who am I that I can judge it ? I'm only three years there," he said.

Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal meet this Tuesday in the Champions League each other (20.45 clock , live ticker SPIEGEL ONLINE ) .

These games take place at League third preliminary round of the Champions Round . But since Dortmund also lost in the group stage 1-2 at Arsenal two years ago , a lot has happened - at the German club, but also in his English opponent .

Because after a streaky last season , had failed in the arsenal in the FA Cup to a fourth division and had long worried about qualifying for the Champions League , it is now ordered quite excellent for the " Gunners ": lead in the Premier League , unbeaten since the won the second day , two by two games in the Champions League. And that is probably the most important for the fans: you have with Mesut Ozil again a star team.
Ozil gives Wenger rest

Since the departure of Robin van Persie to league rivals Manchester United have the home team took a gap in the team, said Klopp . " Arsene Wenger has been missing this one player . " It is quite possible that Ozil is exactly the player who makes Arsenal complete again . On the pitch , the 25- year-old can fill some gaps on the offensive , " Mesut is incredibly variable, he can play in any team ," said Klopp . But Ozil helps primarily elsewhere : He pacified the desire of supporters and Rise and shine gives Arsene Wenger at the same time the necessary peace for tactical tinkering .

Had it been up to the fans, Arsenal should have been separate in the summer after 16 years of Wenger . But the club head around CEO Peter Hill -Wood said the Alsatian once again their confidence , probably mindful of the many successes that Arsenal had over the years with him can celebrate : three championships , four FA Cup victories, the catchment the final of the Champions League in 2006. 80 million euros Hill -Wood asked him available to strengthen the squad , Wenger searched and searched . He was not the right one, the one player. Instead, he committed the last club without Mathieu Flamini free transfer - and waited. Until the last day of the transfer period the exchange Özil to Arsenal took place , allegedly Wenger convinced him on the phone. 50 million cost Ozil, but all the money and the wait seem to be doing already paid for Wenger .

Wenger expects exciting game

" Ozil makes the difference," wrote the English newspaper "Daily Mail" last weekend after his first two league goals were succeeded him in the game against Norwich City . After Özil's goal in the Champions League debut against Napoli, the "Guardian" named him the already " German magician " . After a few weeks already Özil's influence on Arsenal is compared with that of Eric Cantona at Manchester United. An accolade for the Germans.
Wenger coined many years ago the phrase: " Great teams need big stars. " But he knows how important it is not to reduce his team to a player - especially since he may suddenly fall back to a midfield with Santi Cazorla, Jack Wilshere , Mikel Arteta , Aaron Ramsey, Theo Walcott and Ozil, not only in England his peers studied. He also got the ruthlessness of the English press and fans often enough to feel his own body , he knows that the hype around a star can also quickly be over.

Before the encounter with Dortmund Wenger said therefore : " We have to play at our best level , with very, very much rhythm and Lewandowski and Reus keep quiet . " It is expected a different game than two years ago , he said: "But it will be a very nice and exciting game . " It sounded as if he had colluded with Jürgen Klopp .

Good luck to the team & I hope they make it a very happy birthday for Arsene.

[Revgoon89]

Ozil and BFG to score just to be ironic.

[augie]

Not specific to this game but when we are in possession we look to be a lovely free flowing team but when the opposition have the ball, we appear to be a narrow unbalanced team

[officepest]

They are all over us like an ill-fitting suit, we can't get hold of the ball.

[wilko49er]

Too much Dortmund possession.

[augie]

I am a huge huge fan of sagna the defender but he has been terrible in possession thus far

[augie]

[SurreyGooner]

Not the first time this game... just get the fucking ball clear stop pissing about in defence

[storrmin571]
