Really? Dortmund that bad right now for Arsenal to be considered favorites IN Germany as well? Damnn

Not many games see very "good" on paper minus the Arsenal vs Dortmund one. All look like stomps. I guess Group C could be very close group? But Monaco pretty poor now in terms of major quality, Leverkusen are a strange side too. Zenit probably favorites but they have crazy manager. Then Benfica seem to be up and down.

Leverkusen are going to win. Monaco have 1 win, 1 draw, and 3 losses so far in Ligue 1, they are looking dire. The attack has looked unstoppable so far this season for Leverkusen.

Yeah after i wrote what i did i went and checked on some of the domestic leagues and saw how poorly Monaco have started with there....average squad. I can see Monaco finishing bottom of that group, even behind Benfica

Benfica is not that weaker imo

True we lost very important players but we are better off on the left defense, we have a better defensive midfield and managed to keep Enzo

Our attack is weaker because we lost a offensive player of rodrigo's caliber and Markovic, but we still have Gaitan and Salvio is also better then ever!

I think we have good chances of passing imo

Yeah seeing Schalke only having 1 point after 3 games is quite a surprise. Especially after their 1 point was against Bayern of all teams. Losing 4-1 to Gladbach the weekend doesn't go well to take the short trip to Stamford bridge for tomorrows game.
Bayern vs City of course going be the game of the week though for me after i found out that Dortmund not on form yet t.t

Maybe Leverkusen might be the only team to win this week for Germany ;o

I feel really sorry for Schalke. Theyre gonna get raped by Chelsea like they did vs Real last season I think. They played incredibly bad in the Bundesliga (and they also dropped out of the cup vs a 3rd league team) and Iam almost certain that Jens Keller is going to be the next coach whos going to get sacked.
On paper every german team should make it out of the group. But I can easily see Schalke losing to Sporting aswell.

Leverkusen should win today and should win the group aswell. Their attack is really good they just need to stop conceding so many goals.

Dortmunds defense looks a little shaky at the moment and Arsenal played well against City. But still Dortmund has always played well in the CL over the last seasons so I think they're going to win today but its going to be close. Both Arsenal and Dortmund should make it out of the group stage.

Bayern has the toughest group of course (Imo the toughest in the CL). Unfortunatly we have lots of injuries: Badstuber, Schweinsteiger, Martinez, Thiago, Robben and I think Xabi Alonso isnt fit aswell. I dont even know whos going to play CDM.
So its going to be very hard against Manchester City who can play with their full line-up.
I still think and hope that we are going to win but its going to be very close.

Last time we played with the team that had participated in the CL final just 4 months ago, we stomped them 6-2.
It was bayer leverkusen.
Let's do the repeat? Lol jk, just a 1-0 would be awesome, xD.

If Arsenal doesn't destroy Dortmunds defense today... Piszczek ist out with problems shifting Durm who's out of form to the right side. It's his correct foot but he like never plays that for us. Schmelzer who wasn't able to play yet this season has to go for 90 minutes (well i guess later on we could shift durm to the left side and make großkreutz rb). Kagawa's not playing but we'll see Immobile which is surprising because Ramos played so well right now.

Super interesting game coming up but it might get ugly for us.

Oh boy, just read who is playing for BvB today. I'd sign a draw right away if Arsenal offered it.
Of course i hope that my boys pull through, but looking at the starting 11 is depressing if i remember who might play if all were healthy.
can only bank on the fact that arsenals defense isnt in too good shape either.
LETS GO BVB

Where have you been living? Out for a month after getting injured in injury time of the last match of Germany's natonal team.
