Bleak!
Borussia Dortmund’s debacle at home against VfB Stuttgart can be described in one word. With the 1: 5 applause against the newly promoted BVB, it was shown once again that he is currently far from a serious title candidate. (REACTIONS: “Very, very embarrassing!”)
But that’s not all: Borussia must gradually be careful not to lose its status as the second force behind record champion Bayern Munich.

BVB has no chance against the promoted Stuttgart
In their own stadium, the blacks and yellows had no chance against the promoted team. They were literally played against the wall and are even well served with a 1: 5 at the end. (The game to read on the ticker)
The top trio of Leipzig, Bavaria and Leverkusen are moving away by leaps and bounds. The BVB, on the other hand, is losing more and more the touch and this season it even has to tremble to reach the minimum objective, the qualification for the Champions. (Service: Bundesliga box)
The bitter understanding: without striker Erling Haaland injured (17 goals in competition), nothing works! He lacks his depths, with which he pulls the opposite chain, and his power of penetration in front of the goal.

Not enough of Reus and Brandt, Sancho submerged
There is currently very little of Captain Marco Reus and Julian Brandt. Jesus Reinier’s actual loan is not yet the expected reinforcement and super-teenager Youssoufa Moukoko (for whatever reason) doesn’t stand a chance.
Also, Jadon Sancho has been in hiding for weeks. Last season’s top scorer (17 goals, 17 assists) is completely out of his mind and remains scoreless in the ninth league appearance.
The defense, led by Mats Hummels, also makes too many mistakes and doesn’t even get into duels.
BVB suffered the third consecutive league defeat against Stuttgart. Too often Lucien Favre’s team suffers from robberies of this kind: this season there was a 2-0 draw against Augsburg, a 2-1 draw against Cologne and a 3-1 draw against Rome. (Results and schedule of the service)
Yes, this season is extraordinary in view of the corona pandemic and the tight schedule. But that cannot be an excuse. After all, the competition has the same conditions. But he gets along better with it.
At BVB everyone has to question
After this onset of disaster, criticism of Lucien Favre will certainly also be strong.
At BVB, now everyone has to question. Is the quality of the team good enough across the board? Shouldn’t one have a Haaland replacement after all? Is the tactical direction always correct? Do the players always have the right attitude? Will the coach keep coming to the team?
If the Dortmund team cannot find solutions as soon as possible and adapt to these conditions, they will experience a blue miracle this season.
