And dortmund loses
again
Don't really follow the Bundesliga do you know what's going on? How can they go from being 2nd place last season to relegation material this season?
Dont know really. They started with their strongest XI, played well for the first 25, lost tempo and started playing miserably. They all lacked confidence and even when Augsburg had a man sent off, they still looked really poor. Their passes were off, they didn't know eachothers movement and were unable to create any space within the box. To be honest their best player was Kevin Kampl and thats probably because he's new.
I just think they are all out of confidence after having a somewhat normal drop of form in the beginning of the season, and since then it's just been dragging on and on. I think it's mostly down to a certain key players though;
Immobile is playing very poorly, not sure if he's trying to be a target man or a channel man, but he's neither creating space, nor physically strong enough to do knock downs, and his finishing is really poor.
Reus is playing so mediocre it hurts. This is not the same guy who did 30 yard goals, electric sprints in deep, messi like touches and ronaldo esque finishing last season. I think he's either really demotivated and wants to move orhas not fully recovered from his earlier injuries.
Mkhitaryan is so out of confidence. Was one of the best creative forces last season, now he's a shadow on the pitch.
I don't feel that theres anything wrong with Dortmund at the back, it's just that they don't create anything up front.
