Hello everybody! Hello Pulisic fans! Hello Jadon Sancho fans! Hello Marco Reus fans! Marius Wolf fans, you can find a different website, because there is nothing for you here! Mario Gotze fans, I wish there was something for you here, but because Lucien Favre seems to have some kind of vendetta against the metabolism problem-plagued Gotze, there's nothing for you here, either.
Whew. Let's get to the ratings.
Actually, first though, let's talk about my upcoming flight to VIENNA, AUSTRIA. I've put that in caps because I'm so damned excited. I'm going to be studying intensive German for TWO MONTHS! In a city I've NEVER BEEN TO BEFORE. Right next to SLOVAKIA! And HUNGARY!
God, Hungary girls look beautiful.
Anyway, now to the ratings. Actually though first what I REALLY wanted to comment about was how I'm flying Swiss Airways to Vienna and I really, really want to somehow upgrade to business or first class. I know the chances of this happening are extremely low. I know this. But maybe some of you know how it can be done? I have miles on Delta. And Alaska. And I'm somewhat charming.
And NOW, to the ratings. In case you live on Mercury, Dortmund came from behind to stun Bayer Leverkusen yesterday, 4-2. Things looked pretty grim at halftime. I'm sure Lucien Favre was smiling in the locker room, because he's always smiling, but things looked pretty grim. And then Dortmund turned it on. CAN THEY COMPETE WITH BAYERN MUNICH THIS YEAR? Yes, if they figure their starting 11 out, and figure it out soon. If they continue to gel. If they trust in their trainer.
Lucien Favre
Can we give him the credit for the amazing performance of the substitutes in the second half? Apparently, yes.

Christian Pulisic
Played OK. Had one nice run. Lost the ball a little too much. Worked hard.
Rating: 6
Jadon Sancho
Dear sweet fancy Jesus. What a game this young lad had. What synergy with Marco Reus and the powers of the universe. But, since he didn't play that long, I'm only going to give him an...

Marco Reus
Really turned it up towards the end. Showed why he's world class. The combo with Jadon Sancho was pure brilliance.
Rating: 9
Dan-Axel Zagadou
Honestly, despite contributing to the shit goal that was Leverkusen's second, Dan-Axel Zagadou was man of the match yesterday. MAN OF THE MATCH. He was the most cool, collected defender. He handled several high pressure situations with the calm he embodies and that no one else can match. Yes, he should've been able to clear the ball from the six. But someone else should've first. Long live Dan-Axel.

Thomas Delaney
Not a good match for the Dane. Though his yellow card in the beginning of the match really shouldn't have been a yellow.
Rating: 3
Roman Burki
Something annoys me about Roman Burki. Seems like a bit of a pretty boy. Seems too quick to blame his players when things go wrong. At the same time he is very congratulatory toward them when they help him in the back. He had a good game, but possibly could've saved the Tah goal had he been positioned better.

Axel Witsel
Did a good job of controlling the middle but could still do better. Could demand the ball more, could make his presence more felt.
Rating: 5
Jacob Bruun Larsen
Really a non-factor for most of the game, other than his tap in.
Rating: 4
Paco Alcacer
Ummmm, not sure what to say about the Spaniard. Scored two goals in, what, two minutes? If he keeps it up he'll be the best player on Dortmund. But there's no way he will.

I know there are other players, but those are all I really care to review. Dortmund now prepare for their game against Monaco on Wednesday, which is going to be hard for me to watch because I'll be on the way to the airport for my flight to SFO, then Zurich, then Vienna. Dortmund are looking good, though, and this come from behind victory only served to help them believe even more.
