I like this football thingy. I think it could catch on. Do you think we should try it over here?

[aw1991]

Good half from Dortmund, but Schalke are god awful. Schubert would take flak for the second goal, but I think their defence is to blame as well. McKennie and Sane the only ones who are putting shift.

Brandt has been brilliant, Witsel, Hakimi and Haaland also looking sharp.

[Snail]

I enjoyed that.

[gazzalfc]

There's no way I'd want to watch a whole season of this though.

Just 2 Liverpool games will be good enough for me

Witsel ain't playing 

[rob1966]

Such a trivial matter. I'd watch 4 decades worth of this if I had to

Non league atmosphere but premier league players

[sinnermichael]

Good to see the Schalke defence socially distancing.

[Dim Glas]

Without the booooo’s. 😀

I felt bad for saying it, cos I like Schalke fans    They have amazing support.

[gazzalfc]

Took a few minutes to open up and knock off the rust but the quality shines through.

[aw1991]

Witsel ain't playing 

*Delaney

Sporting a bit of an afro today, so forgive me for that.

[Max_powers]

I would love it if we got Halaand. He is gonna be one of the best players in the world. Already Mbappe level good.

So they don’t go throwing their kids around? That’s good to know.

[Statto Red]

Schalke are the Everton of this rivalry.

Unlike us vs Everton the Revierderby is pretty even in the league Schalke have 32 wins, Dortmund 33 wins with 30 draws, Schalke have a better record in the cups, 5 wins to Dortmund's 2 wins

[Rheinbacher]

I can't see Schalke getting back into this,might stick the Leipzig game on as they are 1-0 down at home.

[Samie]

Steady.

He's a Lewandowski type player in that he doesn't have any attributes that knock your socks off. Looking at him you'd think a bit of a cumbersome back to goal type player but he just scores goals by the million. Didn't impress RAWK much when we played Salzburg though, I think some said we signed the better player in Minamino. Such terrible shouts are usually reserved for me.

[sinnermichael]

Jonjo Kenny must think he's back playing with Pickford again.

Just like August games really

[Dim Glas]

Wow, an Ademola Lookman sighting.

[El Lobo]

The kids an absolute beast. Not sure where he’d fit in right now but would be lovely to sign in a couple of seasons when we maybe adapt our tactics

[jillcwhomever]

Lookman on for the second half.

I kinda disagree. He is really fast, big, has good game intelligence and good shot on him. Against us, he just camp up against one of few defenders that is bigger and faster than him.

[jillcwhomever]

Wow, an Ademola Lookman sighting.

They lost their way somewhat when they went 1-0 down.

[UntouchableLuis]

Just like August games really

Except when we beat Arsenal 3-4 and Jurgen broke his glasses.

I mean, he's a good all-rounder without a doubt but where Mbappe has outstanding pace that separates him from the pack etc Haaland doesn't really have anything. He just works, like Lewandowski. 

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Schalke look like amateurs

[Statto Red]

3-0 Dortmund

[rafathegaffa83]

3-0 Nice counter-attack

[UntouchableLuis]

Great finish from Hazard. Dortmund bossing it.

[scouseman]

are the commentators working from home or are they at the stadium?

[Statto Red]

Very poor from the keeper.

[skipper757]

Wow...

Dortmund in the mood today.

Their results are wild since late last year.  Feel like they either win 4 or 5-0 or draw 3-3 and this looks (for now) like the former.

[RobbieRedman]

Schalke look like amateurs

Really poor from them

[Motty]

No crowds doesn't bother me much as I thought it would to be honest.

[oojason]

Thorgan Hazard on 48' makes it 3-0 to Dortmund - https://www.clippituser.tv/c/pamkyp & https://streamja.com/3nmBb & https://streamja.com/pAPEX

Took us 40 odd minutes to get going though 

[rafathegaffa83]

Schalke look like amateurs

To be fair, similar thing happened in the NHL lockout in 1994. In that case, players went from being in pre-season to then being locked out with some not even training at all for weeks and months. When the games resumed, there were loads of blowouts early on due to a lack of tactical preparation and fitness among players. I'd expect the more skilled and fitter sides to thrive early on.

[El Lobo]

I can see us doing this to a few teams when we get started.

[jillcwhomever]

Freiburg growing in confidence RBL have still to get going second half.

[Dim Glas]

I LOVE Freiburg's away kit 

Good start from them to the 2nd half.
