1. Going into this game I think it’s fair to say we all had doubts. Poor midweek, injuries and negativity around the team.

   Wow, I’m sure many of us are wrong. Tuchel got everything spot on. Having Upa and his physicality and pace was huge. Laimer, Gore, phonzie were outstanding and ofcourse sane and Kane doing what they’ve done all season.

   Harry Kane, I’m on my knees crying for a striker like you.

   Our pressing, defending and creativity was something we’ve all been missing. Even Pavlovic. Did nothing silly, just maintained his composure and did the job at hand.

   Hoping Tuchel is supported in Jan with transfers because a competent mid and depth brings up is a level.

2. I never expected to think that a 100M pricetag is worth it, but here we are… what a guy we have on our hands

3. Proper vintage Bayern performance. Statement win away to Dortmund after everyone making fun of us. God I needed that so fucking much

   Also loved Pavlovic’s performance

4. Harry Kane was everywhere today. Genuinely one of the best players in the world. I hope he wins everything with us.

5. To win this convincingly in Dortmund with so many key players missing or coming back from injury is hugely impressive

6. Just copying my earlier comment here, don’t have much more to say:

   > Harry Kane the ‘serial loser’. He is only a serial winner in my mind, he is just phenomenal, can’t believe we have him.

7. I fucking love Harry Kane

8. We need Kane to stay healthy at all costs!!

9. HARRY KANE HAT TRICK AGAIN

10. We’re so back boys.

    Kane and Goretzka MOTMs, but literally everyone had an insane match. Tuchel masterclass

11. Like a Harry Kane. Won’t take No prisoner won’t spare no life….

12. This team is aggravating, capable of performances like this and then like those in Saarbrücken

13. They silenced the whole subreddit.

14. Average BvB disasterclass against us

15. It’s important to note we got that last goal thanks to Muller sprinting down and pushing the rest of the team to press with him. He’s so important

16. Literally the week of “It’s so over; we are so fucking back baby!”

17. I’m now even more pissed that Harry didn’t even feature in the Pokal match, but I’m so happy about his back-to-back hat-tricks.

18. Tuchel out I guess…

19. Great 30 minutes from Pavlovic. Hope he gets some more chances now.

20. We cremated Dortmund, they were pillaged in every corner of the pitch. Kudos to Tuchel and the players, if only we took the cup seriously

21. Some genius from BVB said, that they are happy that they will play a Bayern that’s angry because of the Pokal loss, cause if they are angry they make more mistakes.

22. So, I was of the opinion we shouldn’t have bought Kane this summer. I thought it was too expensive and wanted someone like Vlahovic instead. He proved me wrong long before now, but I’d like to formally acknowledge my horrendous take. So happy to have him.

23. I know we are beating their assess basically in 90% meaningful games since 2013, but I am not bored.

24. I can’t remember when was the last time when Bayern played their hearts out in a game like today. 100% dedication throughout the whole game. Absolutely insane team performance. It’s just bitter because we had to lose the cup game in order to be so determined.

25. I feel emotional every time I see Muller… so positive

26. Man… give Tuchel time, and a full squad… give the youngsters time, to develop and grow… give this team time, to understand and fall into perfect sync with each other… I pray that the board fixes their arrogant mistakes and sign the players we need and extend the ones who deserve it and promote those that have earned it… and I hope I get to celebrate such nights with all of you on this forum, because I love this club for what it stands and means to me… and I want to share this joy with all of you… cheers.

27. This is how you respond after a questionable game. Top tier game.

    A few things:

    1. Do we use this formation and setup again? It looked really strong.

    2. Goretzka MVP. Playing different positions and doing it well. Him being able to backup CB is really legit.

    3. So happy for pavlovic. We should use him more.

    4. We still need to sub more.

28. Good to see Müller happy despite the lack of gametime, legend

29. Can’t remember who it was on here but someone predicted a Harry Kane brace. Such a disrespectful comment. You should be ashamed.

    Also..

    – Minjae is fearless. Genuinely absolutely fearless
    – Laimer with a great game and what a pressing machine.
    – Tuchel with a damn near perfect gameplan today.
    – Pavlovic looks so promising and I’m so happy for his assist!

30. In hindsight probably should have started Pavlovic and sub in Kane in the Pokal

31. This is the first game it’s felt like true Harry Kane. He dominated everywhere

32. This sport doesn’t make sense.

    Saarbrücken > Newcastle confirmed

33. Great win, but the mood of this sub is just bipolar.

34. Pavlovic 💎

35. In the next klassiker, I genuinely hope that Bayern absolutely massacres Dortmund 10-0 or something, and put the Dortmund fans out of their misery. Ain’t no way management of Dortmund gonna learn from anything.

36. Dortmund are lucky they have their best player – Kobel, because it would have been about 0-7 if not for him.

37. Shoutout to Goretzka and Laimer tn, both were pressing machines. hopefully we’ll get to see this midfield pair more often

38. Sané and Musiala should spend an hour every day after training with Harry to work on their finishing 

39. Still pinch myself that Kane plays for us – these kind of performances remind me how crazy that is and what caliber of a striker we have again.

    Personal motm aside the obvious hat-tricker is Leon, played 60 min in mid and 30 as CB with a broken hand and was absolutely rock solid with more than decent passing. Good that Nagelsmann was in the stadium and saw this stud perfomance. Also a nice reminder to continue skipping some Bvb players for the NT.

    Also big shoutout to Pavlovic. Brought a nice mix of toughness and laid-back-ness to the game, totally unexpected given the stakes tbh but he really seems to have that talent. Deserves more minutes especially if midfield issues keep coming up.

40. Got to give some love to Goretzka and Upa. Thrown in cold and really played brilliant. Upa was calm and commandind. Goretzka was a monster in the duels in CM and CB. Laimer also, strong game from him.

    Loved the focus and commitment of the team today. Really great display.

41. Just here as an Aston Villa fan once again grateful you guys got Kane out of our league 😂

42. Pavlovic needs more time as the 6. Laimer looked great. We can clearly see that Kimmich is harming our buildup and can’t play defensively, without him we looked so much sharper than ever this season. Incredible. We need to put Kimmich on the 8 in the future and never again on the 6.

43. Mic drop moment. “We’ve won 4-0. Now you have to turn around in your opinion. Have fun.” He was never seen again.
