    The team is what it's record says it is, terrible. They all have totally lost the plot. Until now I just figured they'd eventually turn it around, but now it's pretty obvious some drastic changes will be needed to light a fire. I'm not even sure if they have the quality/heart on the roster to overcome this? Very little I saw even comes close to resembling the style of play and team that had me first buy in to become a Dortmund fan. The relegation threat is a very real one.

    To be this many games into the season and for the team to come out flat and let up a a $hitty, sloppy goal again in the opening minutes is pretty unforgivable. How many times does Ginter need to be out of position in an offsides trap before he figures out some field awareness? Piszczek was taking a dump in a bucket while the second goal was being scored.

    How many flat, crappy crosses does Schmelzer need to give away before somebody tells him to come up with an original thought?

    Kehl could get outsped by a gaggle of speed walkers.

    Kagawa and Mkhitaryan can't keep their composure in front of the net.

    The whole team is a total bunch of head cases right now, including Klopp. To date I think it's been admirable for the fans to be so supportive despite the terrible product being played, but ai think they may need to start showing some tough love.

    I doubt that we're gonna play better with another coach, the players are playing like dogshit. Whether Klopp makes wrong decisions or not, there is absolute NO reason for them to play this bad. Screw the tactics, they are doing the basics totally wrong. Look at the defending today, it's atrocious. Basically, I'm saying the players need to stop fecking around.

    1. Skrypnyk got his tactics spot on, and Klopp simply didn't. Bremen pushed on Ginter (who is completely out of his depth), and didn't give Gundogan any room to create. Klopp was an idiot to play only one creative player in the entire midfield.

    2. Kehl needs to retire... period.

    3. Kagawa........ !!?

    4. Ginter was at fault for both goals.

    5. Only semi-bright spot was Langerak.

    6. How do we start Kehl and Kirch while Sahin sits on the bench!!!

    7. Where the heck is Ramos these days?

    Something needs to happen during the winter break, and my suggestions would be to fire Watzke and ship out Schmelzer as a start.

    Never thought I'd say this - David Moyes would be an upgrade on Jurgen Klopp.

    Seriously?

    I still dont believe you all will relegate. Just a FEW wins will pull you all out of relegation. Plus who returns from injury after the break?

    Don't agree.... and I also don't believe that Moyes is a bad coach.

    At least with Moyes maybe Schmelzer could cross better

    That was goal out of context fail at its finest...

    What else is he suppose to say? I would be angry too..

    But I do think a complete reboot is needed. I don't think this will change in the 2nd half.

    New coach would bring new ideas and new determination

    A good coach is made up of a lot of different attributes. One thing DM didn't do was blindly support his troops, he even benched Fellaini and Mata when necessary. He kept making a lot of changes to get wins, at least he tried to be successful. JK is embodying lunacy - playing the same set of players and expecting different results, he's basically trying to fail. Watching JK is frustrating as hell.

    He was awful at it throughout last season. I dreaded seeing those pointless crosses every week.
