If Lewandowski leaves Dortmund, who do you think Dortmund should replace him with?

Whats the most boring matches involving top 10 players?

Where do you stand on court speed?

1-Tough question since Dortmund don't have illimited funds unlike most big clubs in Europe. If I can think of anyone, I'll bump this question later. With that said, I saw the name of Caicedo somewhere as a possible replacement, and I do think that, although a risky bet, it's something that could possibly work.

2-Djokovic vs Murray; Murray vs Ferrer; Ferrer vs Gasquet; Federer vs Ferrer

3-I'm definitely against the current situation, I believe courts should be sped up, namely hard courts so shotmaking can triumph over marathon running again. I think the tour should have varied surface speeds/conditions accross the season. Taking only the Slams and WTF into account here: AO - medium slow paced hardcourt RG - Slow clay W - Fast, slick grass USO - Medium Fast hardcourt WTF - Fast indoor court

This way, we could have different styles required to succeed in different tournaments, instead of every tournament rewarding the same skillset leading to predictable results. I actually find early round matches much more interesting than Slam semis and finals these days: unless Federer or a big hitter is involved, those matches generally consist of two moving walls grinding each other down looking to outlast each other.

Lewandowski should stay put IMO.

Despite Bayern's fine footballing philosophy, their policy of buying all the talent from their Bundesliga rivals are why I'll never really warm to them.

I agree that he should stay put. But unfortunately money dictates more than ever, so I'd not be surprised to see him move for a more lucrative destination. In purely footballing terms though, Lewandowski could hardly be anywhere better though.

Nope, only watched some highlights. By the looks of it, it was a complete disaster though

Nothing to be overly worried about, he will bounce back just fine. It was a weird match, he looked quite lethargic/out of energy and Chardy was pretty good. Nothing to be overly worried about.

Yeah, we were Very poor. Started okay, taking the lead, but then they hit straight back. Once Lewandowski got sent off, we went shit and deserved to lose. Hummels had a poor game, Gotze was terrible for the 2nd week running, Sahin was terrible (we missed Iker), Bender was out of his depth at LB, Kuba wasn't existent and Marco didn't have a chance to really get into the game.

Taking nothing away from HSV, who played a good match going forward

Yeah, i'm going to judge Del Po from his performances in Rotterdam

Used to when I was a kid (only recreationally though), but not anymore.

Very good, both of them, especially in Ukraine. I expected it to be the best tie of this round and so far it has lived up to my expectations, very exciting match. I believe Shakhtar will score in Germany so it's far from over.

Yup, great stuff. Reus was awesome It's a shame you've been too inconsistent this season to fight for the title with Bayern though.
