I feel the same. It's very obvious what Tuchel has done. Read the right articles tomorrow and you'll read about it, I've simply identified it like I expected most would but evidently not.

By the way, look at the trouble Castro is causing by positioning himself behind the Liverpool midfield. He gives the Weigl/Sahin/Hummels axis a vertical option to play to. It's certainly a difference to the first half.

You make football sound so difficult.

Odd taking Lallana off, thought he was doing well.

Harry Palmr

So much for Aubameyang

I see a team settling back with time ticking down, and a great result in the hand, and I see a team allowed to have plenty of possession in non-threatening areas.

Nice attacking sub. Hopefully bobby can do something here.

Game reminds me so much of the Spurs game at the weekend. Similar ebb and flow which i guess is to be expected with two teams that press in similar fashion. Not something you can do for a full game.

Don't argue with him. He read a book once. He's now a coaching genius.

WTF Moreno

5starpool

Moreno, brainless, something something.

livinginkorea

Stupid from Alberto

razorblunt

Jaysus Moreno.

Tusky

INSANE tackle from Moreno. The man has no brain.

Turtyturd

Da'fuq Moreno?

Skylinehead

Could have gone for that, brainless.

NukaCola

Moreno is proper mental...........absolutely crazy

Charlie19

I hate his stupid face.

hadepsx

TitianGerm

Won the ball but absolutely brain dead!! Thank God he's suspended for the return leg.

kingshankly

Moreno has to be the most brain dead footballer ever

mada999

Cartman78

Was Moreno booked for that?

Very very lucky to be still on the pitch...what a pleb

He is not yet

Harry Palmr

Socrates has to be philosophical about that.

Haha pointing out a very obvious switch in shape now qualifies as coaching genius. Your standards must be extremely low.

keith16

Not even a yellow for Moreno?

I genuinely don't know what about that sounds in anyway difficult. It's reinforcing the foundation of the attack and adding a vertical passing channel through midfield. It's not difficult.

Nope he got away with it

He reminds of that dog Fenton in the infamous video.
Just will not listen, does what he wants, endearing in a strange way.

mada999

Ha, it's not the switch that's being talked about, it's how effective you seem to believe it has been.

The change made was obvious and required around 4% of the syllables you decided to use to describe it.

He's getting better looking with age.

It has not worked though. They have created very little.

The worst thing about European games on TV is listening to the crap about all these tackles you can get away with England but not on the continent. It is complete rubbish. That tackle from Moreno deserved a yellow.

I tend to save my more in depth football comments for elsewhere. I remember why after this game.

Jesus the ref is having a bad day. Could have easily been a red but definitely a yellow.

Only if he's had a personality transplant.

Turtyturd

Took too much out of it.

They've broken Liverpool's lines a good number of times on the 2nd half when you take into account Liverpool's shape in that half. Though their final ball has been disappointing tonight. Eg. That last attack. Mkhitaryan gets in behind the Liverpool midfield, drives at the back four but his pass was poor at the end.

GreNoLi

Miktaryan holds onto the ball for far too long.

Liverpool have had as many clear cut chances, if not more, than Dortmund have had.

Is that down to Allen's vertical lines?
