Just finished watching the game and what a game! Did not expect that kind of performance from us especially since Dortmund came off a victory over Munich. The fact that Dortmund actually played admirably (imo) and we were still able to pick up the three points further proves how well we played. Here's my take on the game:
*I'm loving Kos at RB! The guy never stopped working and you could tell he played his heart out when he got subbed off
*Theo was a constant threat on the right side. Gave Schmelzer nightmares for days
*Ramsey, Arteta, and even Santos didn't put a foot wrong on the day. Their ball control was absolutely sublime. Yossi too was magnificent when he came on. I would actually consider keeping him if it wasn't for his age.
*What an assist from Song! and this coming after I posted this the other day:

Regarding Song:
I'm sometimes surprised at the number of chances Song creates for us (goals, assists, etc.), especially considering that he's a defense midfielder.
Song would have had a man of the match performance imo if it wasn't for his and Djourou's mistake that led to their goal.
*Vermaelen was solid as usual at the back and even got an assist. He also isn't afraid to press forward which is one quality I really like about him
*This is the second time Gervinho has dribbled the keeper and not score
. Wouldn't say it was his fault though as Hummels tracked back well
*Captain Van Perferct - Need I say more
Can't believe we've qualified top of our group and this is, imo, the second toughest group after City's
