Yeah, for me hands up usually = a pen.
I think they tend to hesitate to give when it’s a clearance blasted at a teammate from a short distance to protect themself…shouldn’t be the case Imo but there you go.
That said I like the look of Reitz, tidy player.

‘Clever’ play by Olise to buy the win, Kane steps up and buries it.
Sane missing an open goal
New low for Sahin.
3-0 down at HT to some beer company. It could’ve been 5.
Kamikaze defending, just leaving the 2 CB’s behind and everyone else pushed in the attacking third.
Lewis Holtby…now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a while, comes on and it sent off after 30 seconds, completely absurd challenge on Nmecha.

Don’t know how will Sahin survive this nor how he got the job in the first place.
Dortmund only ever is a club which aims to market and sell their most valued players at the highest price possible.
Who cares whether they win the trophies or not. Not their owners.
Sahin probably will get sacked as he’s absolutely clueless but that doesn’t mean the approach of Dortmund would change.
What makes it more jarring is the fact that Klopp left them in such a strong position and they had Tuchel coming in after.

They’ve actually changed their strategy quite a bit lately, gone for a sort of Bayern light approach by buying the best (presumably) of Bundesliga clubs that are less financially well off.
Which is actually worse, bar Gittens there really isn’t that much to sell at a higher price now.
And as for ‘owners’ - who is that exactly? Different investors that own shares, while on the other hand in terms of control it’s also still a member club.

Not so sure about that. The Bald Fraud has had his reputation raised a fair bit after the struggles of Amorim.
Not sure about that, whatever ideas or system he was implementing was still not recognisable 3 years in.
In fact that approach is still very much on display when they play anyone in the top 6-8.
I think De Gea masked a lot.
So Sahin has been given his marching orders… Who is next in line at Dortmund? Any names?
Looks like Roger Schmidt I guess.

I’d also think twice before accepting the Dortmund job.
It’s not like there aren’t things to consider whether that club is run properly and the only or main issue is the head coach role.
Seems somewhat set on staying out of the game until the summer.
Is this real? Magdeburg top despite not having won a single home game.
