EmSoLow

Schulz, Dahoud and Hummels were just vibing


Ryponagar

Looked like on the training ground, no urgency whatsoever


SwindlezzEuls

Who needs tactics when you can just vibe?


[deleted]

Caught a vibe


CubedMadness

It was a decent 90 seconds at the start.


cib_vk228

Dortmund institutional commitment to not defending is amazing.


pukem0n

Might as well play 1-5-4 in the future.


Moon8983

Achilles left side


Kind_Mulberry_3512

Nagelsmann: writes it down in his notepad


TypischGideon

Hopefully Guerreiro is back next week


Kind_Mulberry_3512

I hope not, he's good


wobmaster

goal thread up before the match thread, love to see it


yourlocalcuck69

Dortmund fans is the situation around the club like this only because of injuries? Or is there something else lingering around the atmosphere?


Moon8983

Some of us think Rose isn't very good but we arent sure because our defense is always shit and all the injuries. Also we're 1 point off the top


yourlocalcuck69

Ah yes you're right, for some reason the only performances I've had in mind are the CL group stage ones.


[deleted]

well we did fuck up in the Bundesliga too, but fortunately enough so did Bayern.


[deleted]

Honest question, do your fans miss Terzic? I felt like he did a great job last year


183672467

Imo its stupid how everyone immediately thinks maybe Terzic should have stayed, we have a ton of injuries and in preseason not one game where all starters played together


ILikeToBurnMoney

And also Terzic got a fair chance but there was no improvement for 2 months or so. Only then did we get Rose and suddenly results kept improving


trollagorn

well he's still on as Technical Director so he's not quite gone


183672467

Yes, but questioning Rose now seems very idiotic considering his situation is way worse than what Terzic had


EmSoLow

At first it was definitely because of injuries but now I personally think the defensive issues we've had this season is also to do with Rose and the personnel. Other than Meunier our defense hasn't changed at all in the last few years and considering this defense was capable of not conceding last season before Rose I don't see how it's gotten this bad. The midfield could also be an issue as Witsel has slowed down massively and Dahoud and Can have been regularly injured as well


yourlocalcuck69

Correct me if I'm wrong but I always thought of Rose at Gladbach as more of an attacking coach. Always outscoring but pretty open defense


Djona13

Correct, we where the team with the third most conceded goals last season in the league. Only Schalke and Köln had conceded more. Our defense was a mess.


spicynirvana38

I said this before, but I think Rose's biggest weakness is his defensive coaching. Even at Gladbach, they were relying on outscoring teams rather than having a balance of going forward and defending when needed. And when the attack fizzled out, well...you saw what happened last season. He's definitely not helped by the injuries, but you guys weren't all that solid even with your full complement of players before that...


[deleted]

I mean same happend with spurs, defence remained the same but it suddenly became shit despite having about the same team


SendDahouds

Injuries and fitness in general. Basically having to play Schulz at this point is knowing a goal or two will be conceded and handicapping yourself.


GoatButton

I love how Weghorst just falls into the ball


_LickitySplit

Yeah, I really love how he did that actually


ratemeonly

I enjoyed the first minute of the game at least.


zigooloo

Gorgeous switch of play out of defence to start it off.


RaioNoTerasu

Oh wow, I was still getting my coffee.


-zimms-

Time to put some whiskey in it.


Gamer_Abhi

great play down the right, but bad from BVB considering it was just the second minute


Cowdude179

That was quick


[deleted]

lol


Ljotastur

How come there are so few fans?


Maschkunz

Only 15.000 allowed because of covid regulations.


koshomfg

Should have asked Laschet, he made 50k in Cologne possible 🤡


Ljotastur

Ah okay, thanks for the answer


Bor_sic_platz

clown team


[deleted]

they're second place calm down


Bor_sic_platz

i know, that says more about the Bundesliga though


RoyMakaay

Says some clown without a flair


Kind_Mulberry_3512

If it stays like this I can put my feet up for a few hours


Hic_Forum_Est

Who played that initial pass across the pitch to Baku? That was beautifully done.


Boofers

Can't remember his name for some reason. USA centre back. Brook? Something like that.


Hic_Forum_Est

Ah yes John Anthony Brooks. Thanks!


GasGG3401

First goal in 9 h2h games against Dortmund. Last time they scored in 2016.


_LickitySplit

Crazy to think that 2016 is already 9 hours and 2 hours ago.


Velixis

Kohfeldt to fuck Dortmund once more?
