Kid's good and getting better, sublime technique. Not helping your buddy Bensebaini too much in defense though, but few talented 20 yo defend properly.

Bad start for Bayern, 1-0 down and Kane off injured. Kane to Muller is a huge downgrade, don't understand why Kompany didn't put Tel (who's been baaad on the flank) at CF and Olise on the flank. I've seen Muller in Champions League, he runs like a horse on broken hooves.

Sahin parked the bus in the second half and now Borussia are living dangerously. No idea why Kompany is still keeping Olise on the bench, he's much better equipped with dealing with a low block than Coman or Sane

Taking Laimer off before...a bunch of other guys was also an odd choice.

Musiala left all alone on that goal lol

Ref messed up there, Sule was supposed to mark him but he was down with a head injury from blocking Sane's shot with his face. Thought that was an automatic stoppage in play.

Anyway Kompany finally puts Olise in and he promptly assists on the goal.

Davies just received a HARD shot in the nuts. Not a great weekend for him personally

I don't think a lot of refs are going to immediately stop it in that situation short of a boot in the face or blood gushing or...even if that's technically the rule. Too easy a thing to "game."

Should probably be happy with a draw. After Süle had to be subbed in early on, there were precisely three players on the bench Sahin trusts enough to sub in, only one of them being a defender.

I’m feeling Sahin is getting better after a rough start
But I’m. not a BVB expert , what’s your opinion?

It's hard to fake a shot straight to the face

Leipzig and Freiburg wins were quite promising, although the tin cans have been garbage ever since so maybe it wasn't as good as it seemed then.

They've been good at home all season. Now they need to figure out how to beat even a single team on the road.
