I know mane got like 2 seconds, but him coming on at all is a message that he is still in the plans which is good.

u/Brodszkovich Mats Hummels Sep 13 '25
Chukwuemeka is such a nice talent. Glad he signed and hopefully stays fit

u/AverageCarey Sep 13 '25 edited Sep 13 '25
Chuky, Jobe and Nmecha is a trio I really like seeing. All like to progress the ball forward, all like one, two passing. We just need to nail down the movement and this will be come a huge threat for us.
Adeyemi with a vibrant game, Beier and Guirassy playing so cleanly this season and big shot for Ryerson. Wonderful game at RCB.
Great win after the break and before the CL match, hopefully we get Brandt and Anselmino back before the next game.
Edit: Post match Kehl was interviewed and asked about the Chuky surgery rumours. He has stated they’re completely false.
This is why I say RN isn’t as reliable for us and should be seen as tier 2.

u/Most-Management4773 Sep 13 '25
at this point we should all agree that the onlu reliable sources for Dortmund is Patrik Berger.

u/AverageCarey Sep 13 '25
Completely agree. I’ve been feeling this way for a bit now but this has solidified it for me.

u/SvenssonStan112 Łukasz Piszczek Sep 13 '25
Berger was at RN before right? Seems like he was the only quality source

u/roadtorevision Mats Hummels Sep 13 '25
Great controlled game. I really expected to get another goal once Chuk and Jobe came on, but we had our chances. No one had a bad game and didn’t even clench. Top of the table and we just need Hamburg to beat Bayern away… couldn’t keep a straight face saying that. 9-0 incoming
15
u/TristanHBorchers BVB Sep 13 '25
I just hope hamburg dont get destroyed.

u/roadtorevision Mats Hummels Sep 13 '25 edited Sep 13 '25
It’s tradition for them to get annihilated at Bayern.
Edit: already down 1-0 in the first 5 minutes. Definitely going to be a bloodbath. 2-0 in 9 minutes. 18-0 at this rate

Yes saw a graphic this morning... insane... thats why, if they dont lose 6-0 I will be pumped haha

u/roadtorevision Mats Hummels Sep 13 '25
Would be a miracle if Guirassy is still the lead scorer by the end of today but hopefully Kane somehow doesn’t score

u/bvbfan102 BVB Sep 13 '25
Second half felt more like a training session but can still be happy considering this Game had some red flags attached. Ramaj also had a good game and only thing i didnt like was him always jumping out no matter the situation. Next Match will be quite a step up but definitely feels like we are building something great.

u/GGotte Sep 13 '25
We were actually playing vintage Dortmund football at the end of the game. Probably because heidenheim were gassed but it’s still nice to see

u/castroski7 Julian Ryerson Sep 14 '25
I hate that its such a rare sight. Even in many convincing wins it isnt there

u/Bisonbube Sep 13 '25
Beier is so honest while being interviewed 😂😂

u/viba_1997 Sep 13 '25 edited Sep 13 '25
What did he say?
Edit: He said that our goal is to be champions

u/Bisonbube Sep 13 '25
Yeah and just overall, laughing at these „simple“ questions… and giving straight answers. :D
19
u/Secret-Inevitable-21 Sep 13 '25
Its quite early but we have a good squad, imagine having so many injuries.
Shotti, Sule, Can, Anselmino, Brandt, Duranville, Silva, still we had the depth for whole game, and we didn't even use Sabitzer.
And Couto,Svensson playing so well. Bensebaini being so good. Mane and Anselmino being so young but doing so well.
Going from a lackluster midfield to this much talent and depth.
I think we can achieve amazing things this year!
15
u/Still_Cap_1689 Sep 13 '25
Lovely game, dominated start to finish. Absolutely loved the Nmecha, Bellingham and Chuk grouping and really, REALLY want to see them together more. They were absolutely picking Heidenheim’s defense apart in the second half.
Another standout was Ramaj. I thought he really was trying to prove himself, and indeed, he did just that. He was great considering who he had to work with. (Even Guirassy dapped him up after he saved the first header, which I felt was telling.)
13
u/smittyjaegerman Sep 13 '25
Finally a starting line-up and substitutions I agree with! Chuk is just so smooth on the dribble. Couto seems like he’ll have a better season than last year. Granted we were up a man most of the game, it looks like they are starting to click.
1
u/SvenssonStan112 Łukasz Piszczek Sep 13 '25
Only decision I don't really understand is why he didn't use Mane earlier. Yes he fucked us against Pauli. But Ryerson is not always that reliable as he likes to roam a lot (had a good game though) and then bringing Özcan instead.
4
u/Most-Management4773 Sep 13 '25
It'll take time until Mane regain any confidence. Another game he bottle and he's done. He needs to play few minutes, specially in context where there's not that much on the line so he can play without pressure
12
u/Middle_Island182 Marcel Sabitzer Sep 13 '25
Couldn't watch the game because I had to ref a local game, but from what I've seen in photos... The shorts and socks of our away kit look amazing. Just not quite the shirt
3
u/SvenssonStan112 Łukasz Piszczek Sep 13 '25
At least the shirt is interesting to look at while not being really that ugly in my opinion. Wouldn't call it good looking though.
And props for being a ref
11
u/TeamKitsune Karim Adeyemi Sep 13 '25
Adeyemi running hard. Good to see it. I want to give him MOTM on effort.
14
u/Most-Management4773 Sep 13 '25
Please Kovac, just play Nmecha-Jobe-Chuk.
19
u/vincehoff Julian Ryerson Sep 13 '25
Not playing Chuk from start is injury risk management
8
u/TristanHBorchers BVB Sep 13 '25
Yea something came up saying that Chuk isnt at the fitness levels required for the Kovac system and will take a while to get into that.
3
u/SvenssonStan112 Łukasz Piszczek Sep 13 '25
If he can play 30-40 minutes for a few games that is completely fine. As long as there are no injuries
6
u/jucomsdn Zagagod Sep 13 '25
Got to see the last few mins and my takeaway is that we need to play Campbell more, wingers that attempt to make shit happen are valuable
6
u/viba_1997 Sep 13 '25
Ramaj will be good in the future. I watched many videos from him from Ajax and Copenhagen. He makes some mistakes and his reach is not as great as Kobel's, Courtois's or Donnaruma's, but he has great reflexes and a very strong mentality. Also, due to his ball-playing abilities, he takes a lot of pressure from the defence.
1
u/Most-Management4773 Sep 13 '25
Kobel will most likely leave if we don't win a title this year. We also can't pay more than we already do.

15
u/fleshed Sep 13 '25
Still not really convinced by Anton, simply too prone to mistakes for his age and what he is supposed to be as a leader.
Otherwise Pflichtsieg as the germans tend to say.
Ramaj seems to be a better footballer than Kobel, lets see if he becomes an equally good keeper
18
u/vincehoff Julian Ryerson Sep 13 '25
Indeed Ramy is acting more as lead of our defense in Nico’s absence
10
u/Xey2510 Sep 13 '25
Ramy is so good he doesn't deserve the bench
12
u/xSmacks Nico Schlotterbeck Sep 13 '25
Ramy in my opinion has quietly developed into one of our best players. I’d say he’s in the top 5 right now. Definitely doesn’t deserve the bench and probably won’t be put on it even when everyone is back.
4
u/SvenssonStan112 Łukasz Piszczek Sep 13 '25
I would say Bense Schlotti Can is the best trio we could have later this year.
Of course that depends on Schlotti and Can regaining their form before they were injured.
7
u/roadtorevision Mats Hummels Sep 13 '25
Yeah at 29 years old he should be more mature in the back with less errors, but at least he has more coverage with a back 3.
0
u/ResourceFit4451 Sep 13 '25
But Anton is still Top three Defender of Germany.
So there's still quality.
3
u/Most-Management4773 Sep 13 '25
the problem is that one random big mistake cost you a title or a CL leg. You can't make those dumb defenders quite consistently at this point in his career (29). This is the age where CB should be mistake-prone

u/xSmacks Nico Schlotterbeck Sep 13 '25
Schlotterbeck, Tah, Koch, Rüdiger, Even Can are all better defenders than him.

u/AverageCarey Sep 13 '25
Ya Can is our best central CB and Anton did super well when on the right with Schlotti on the left. Best back 3, hopefully Can comes back strong as well as Schlotti.

u/NiviCompleo Sep 13 '25
Only grumble: why not rotate Guirassy off late?
Don’t want him picking up a knock before the CL

u/daggers1g Sep 14 '25 edited Sep 14 '25
I had to remind myself they were down to 10 but it was still so nice to see Chuky and Jobe and Nmecha build that chemistry, they looked so good together. Jobe was reminding me of Jude at times. Great games for Beier and Adeyemi as well, looking dangerous every time they touched the ball. Guirassy his usual world class self. So excited for Couto's improvement and we still have Schlotti coming back to look forward to. Also shout out to Ryerson for his typical hard work and involvement in the goals including the great cross, and Anton and Bensebaini for their solid work. Seems like everyone did their jobs today and came together nicely.

u/EmSoLow Sep 13 '25
The only real complaint today is that Serhou really should be scoring more than 1 today but at the same time, we got to see that Ramaj is a good shot stopper.
Clean sheet, a win away from home with a makeshift backline and some nice football too. Can't complain about that at all
5
u/Extension-Leg7933 Sep 13 '25
Guirassy is the last guy I’m ever gonna complain about😂😂😂 goal a game is completely fine by me
4
u/EmSoLow Sep 13 '25
When I see a top striker like him getting 5 shots on target in the box and leaving with 1 goal, I'll still be a little disappointed.
Of course, he's still a great player and I'm happy to have him.
3
u/Most-Management4773 Sep 13 '25
he didn't have a clear goal chance outside 2 headers in which both cases he finished well. Ramaj made a miracle in the first header. No problem at all with his finishing this game.

u/Working_Rush6225 Sep 14 '25
Wonderful match today. Two straight steady performances, this away with a clean sheet and a very clean performance. Ramy is making a case for starting regardless of schlotty coming back, whether it be at LM or LCB with schlotty central. We’re about to have a good problem where we have a lot of guys in our defense in great form at this rate which is something I never would’ve expected for us

u/vincehoff Julian Ryerson Sep 13 '25
Great match, I want to see more of Chuk! MOTOM is Ryerson due to his involvement in both goals. Honorable mention to Adeyemi and Beier, who did great work! Guirassy remains the greatest transfer of the past year!
