Good to see Dortmund still love playing football, as opposed to those rich jaded hollywood stars from the south. If they keep that game up, they might be only a single-digit number of points behind Bayern at the end of the season. High hopes! Also glad they are finally rid of Lewandowski, I always knew he was overrated. Can't wait to see him being offside some more.

It's amazing how all those professional football people seem to agree that, of all the football players, Marco Reus could very well play for FCB. Like, a young, very talented offensive midfielder who scores a lot of goals. What could one of the world's most successful football clubs want with him? If only I could comprehend the vast knowledge of people like the Kaiser.

Seems like Dortmund is finally done and unable to compensate for yet another major player leaving and all the additional injuries. Immobile is so incredibly bad, Reus has lost all skill and courage due to missing the World Cup and the midfielders have no idea what to do without Hummels, Sahin or Gündogan. Leverkusen meanwhile continues to be my least favourite team, they score some lucky goals against us and spend the remaining time destroying the game and wasting as much time as possible. It's obviously effective and well done, but it pisses me off so much right now, as you can imagine. Next week against Augsburg, I am cautiosly optimistic, maybe they'll win the first point of the season.

1. Sorry for that 2. Yes, I am. It's not necessarily the end of the world, but except for the Supercup match, every match I've seen so far show the inability to deal with how the squad changes over time, even more so with the list of players injured or out of shape. It's really frustrating how easyly Leverkusen seemed to completely destroy Dortmund's game. Immobile, Reus, Kehl, Jojic and Durm couldn't do anything right. Micky and Auba didn't have any luck. The last time I felt like this was after the 0-3 against Hamburg last season.

According to basically every news outlet, Shinji Kagawa is coming home, almost for free because LvG hates good football. That's awesome. If they keep Reus for another year before he's parked on Real's bench, I'm sure this season will be good after all.

I haven't watched any ManUnited games so I can't really say anything about his development either. It's mainly because he was one of the golden generation, that's true. But I'm sure there are worse ways to spend 10 millions on the market these days. The fans love him, he knows the system and as you've seen last week there is a desperate need for some creativity in the offense. Also, who's currently playing in the midfield? Micky and Jojic never where as good as Kagawa was, Sahin will probably move to the defense when Kehl retires, Gündogan is not an option. So unless he really lost most of his talent in Manchester it sounds like a great deal.

When Slomka got his job at HSV last year, they immediately demolished Dortmund 3-0. So if they don't destroy Pep's mediocre team with the performance of a lifetime, featuring Thomas Tuchel or Felix Magath, I'm going to be very disappointed.

Dortmund vs Stuttgart is like watching an episode of The Strain. It should be good because many people involved have done good things in the past. But it turns out to be absolutely terrible. Still you continue to suffer through it. Then the last 10 minutes are amazing so you think "drat I hate this but I'll watch the next ep as well".

This is probably also the point where the players are broken psychologically. Just give Reus to the Bayern in the winter break and get relegated ffs

I have a hard time getting used to the idea of Dortmund without Klopp, but it is getting more and more likely every week. They should at least be thorough and also fire Zorc, Ginter and Micky.

Victory! Fortunately the referees were incompetent on both sides of the pitch this time. Aubameyang was clearly on-side, but that Subotic tackle near the end was a penalty, no doubt.

Jose posted:I only caught the last 15 minutes but they were just aimlessly launching it up the pitch hoping for something to happen. Klopp needs to stop that otherwise they're definitely going down I watched the entire match and it was this all the time. From both squads, to be fair. It was just a horrible game to watch and I don't see Dortmund improving in the near future because they can't do poo poo in the enemy's box. Immobile, Reus, Kampl, later Ramos - everyone was there but nothing worked.

Lot 49 posted:I want to know this too. I'll give this a shot. In my opinion, it's of course a combination of different, interconnected, terrible things. 1. Under Klopp, Dortmund can play one style of football. Attacking the enemy player immediately and as soon as they gain possession, switch to full offense mode, a quick counterattack, and then score because the other team cannot react in time. Which worked amazingly well for a couple of years, but now just about every team has adapted to this style of play. Especially those teams who are, by the numbers, worse than Dortmund - HSV, Köln, Frankfurt, Freiburg, Bremen. All they have to do is form a strong defense. When Dortmund have possession and the enemy defense is doing a proper job, they cannot do anything. They have no way of breaking through defensive lines. And Klopp cannot do anything because for some reason he doesn't want to, or cannot, teach his players how to do that, and he has no players anywhere in the squad who are able to. This leads to a new situation - Dortmund is being beaten by the same style of football they had once mastered. At some point during their haphazard attempts to break through the defense, some player gets nervous, plays a risky pass, the ball is lost to the enemy and they score with their own counterattack. Look at the teams which Dortmund played really well against: Bayern, Wolfsburg, everybody in the Champions League. Because none of those are content with being in the defense and waiting for mistakes, they instead play offensively, which fits Dortmund's style. 2. The defense is a mess. They couldn't deal with whatever it was - the world cup, injuries, and so on, but there is no defensive stability in the team. Almost every game this season they had to play with a different set of defenders. Hummels, Subotic and Durm are all completely out of shape, other important players are injured too often, and you have new guys like Ginter who don't fit into the team yet. Klopp obviously couldn't form a strong team out of his defenders, which is why they were so easily beaten by those counter attacks mentioned above. 3. The same applies to the offense. If you look at the squad for each game, there is constant rotation between Aubameyang, Immobile and Ramos so they can never learn how to properly cooperate with those guys in the midfield who are supposed to bring the ball to them so they can score. Klopp faces the very difficult task of replacing one really good striker who had years of experience in the team, with a bunch of completely new guys who don't know the team. So all in all, and it pains me to say that because I like him, Klopp is beaten. He had a lot of time to come up with some kind of countermeasure against defensive teams and to integrate the new players into the squad, and he failed at both. Yes, they had a bunch of bad luck, some referee decisions against them and those 35 times they hit the post instead of the goal, but when it comes to the goals they conceded, 90% happen in the exact same way, because the exact same mistakes are made, and that is just ridiculous.

Yeah he dragged him down, Auba got back up and tried to shoot still but couldn't even hit the ball properly. Not an advantage. Considering Jancker kept dragging Aubas shirt while he was getting back up.

I agree, but still I don't like to see him go. I liked him as a personality. When it comes to sports, I greatly prefer somebody who screams and makes caveman faces and insults interviewers when they ask stupid questions. Much better than spineless boring average Joe's like Roger Schmidt. But Tuchel? My first reaction was that they should rather get somebody who is able to deal with "big" players like Reus, Immobile or Micky and who has some experience in international tournaments, but then I realized that in all likelihood most of these issues won't be relevant next season.

Looking at the remaining matchdays, Schalke should get nothing less than 12 points against Paderborn, Hamburg, Stuttgart and Köln. Dortmund still faces Wolfsburg, Bremen, Hoffenheim, Hertha. Much more difficult in my opinion. Augsburg meet the Bayern and Mönchengladbach so there is a possibility.
