this is the first time i see dortmund in a long time and what a great suprise.
sokratis does a good job of filling up for hummels-- yes, he doesn't distribute the ball or threaten in corner kicks the same way but i thought he defended very well.
mkhitarian greatly skilled though a bit too selfish maybe? still he put on a good show (except for missing a bunch of goals, ha ha). definitely this game's diva.
grosskreutz in gotze's old spot pretty decent, later switching sizes to the right.
aubemayang fantastic though in the end he looked completely spent.
great to see subotic back in action after reading he had been injured or under surgery or something.
can't wait to see kagawa in! i thought kloppo would put him in after mkhitarian's yellow card.
for all his complaints of lack of a deep bench i think dortmund's bench looks great
injured currently are:
hummels
kuba
piszcek
reus
gundogan
i don't know who else...
...and they still played great!

Dortmund were brilliant but I was mostly watching Arsenal and, as good as Dortmund looked, Arsenal absolutely collapsed tonight. Their defence is an absolute joke. Not taking anything away from Dortmund but it was like the Brazil or Spain meltdown in the WC. It becomes difficult to gauge just how good the opposition are. Dortmund looked great but I'd want to see them against a fit for purpose defence before saying any more.
Ozil was appalling. Either he's the most overrated player out there or he really doesn't want to be at Arsenal. (Tend to believe the latter.) Right now, I think if Pep really does want him, Wenger would sell him in a heartbeat.
But it's the defence. Wenger's been criticised for years for not addressing it and he just won't. He's in love with midfielders, has some ideological objection towards strikers and sees defenders as a necessary evil.
