  1. Getting knocked out is bad as it is, but wtf was this performance? A million shit corners, no speed, no accuracy, awful crosses, shit shots. Leverkusen didn’t even play well ffs

  2. I am sick to fucking death of being in December and going “well, work to do in the summer then” for how ever many seasons in a row now?

    Fully on the players tonight.

  3. Could’ve gone on and on for 90 more minutes and it wouldn’t have gone in today…sucks nonetheless

  4. ultraviolentyt on

    Well that’s just embarrassing. Year after year we manage to bottle the easiest way of winning a title

  5. We’re not a good football team and those in charge are both responsible for that and OK with it. Our best players will leave and we’ll be stuck with the Beiers and Brandts of the team who we can’t get rid of. We’ll keep Kovac because he gets us top 4. It’s embarassing how accepting of mediocrity we are.

  6. I am taking a long break from watching BVB. I honestly can’t take it anymore. It’s little joy, much more sadness.

  7. Genuinely feel the worst since after the Mainz Game.
    Heartbroken doesnt even put it right especially when we literally lost to one attack with like a thousand chances and a clear pen which would have changed the whole game.
    Fuck man for once i wanted a good end to the year.

  8. Second-worst team in the Bundesliga in xG/corner gets another 11:0 corners and creates exactly one shot on goal from those.

    It’s impossible to be a top team and waste setpieces like that.

  9. Thought we played better but you could tell second half they found our formula and just defended, problem was it wasn’t even the best defending.

    Too many missed shots and still our corners are dreadful, how many years have we been shit at set pieces? Seriously don’t get why we don’t get a coach for that.

    Either way what can you do, shit way to go out but gotta keep focused on CL and the league nothing we can do now.

    Before the hate waves come in: We were the better team, Leverkusen played extremly defensiv and we dont have answers because We dont want to sign 1vs1 players. Otherwise it is exactly what we played the entire season, so we are at least consistent even if not good.

    Great referee btw

    We could have signed maza instead of chuku but we just look into the prem…

  11. Boys just arent good enough, nothing else to be said. Wont be surprised if Schlotterbeck is fed up and moves to a club that actually has ambitions from up top to win trophies.

  12. Why are we so bad at set pieces ?

    Every game we have like 10 Corners and nothing comes from it.

    Now that we are out of the Cup i hope Kovac won’t tinker every game with the starting eleven, i don’t want to see Emre Can ever again, every game he plays this seasons we draw or lose.

  13. No ambitions in Dortmund. This comes from the top, Through Ricken and Kehl. Through to that coach, who refuses to come up with an offensive identity. Through to the team.

    12 corners. Not a single chance created.

    MOTM: Karim, still. At least he wanted it.

  14. Going on five years without a single trophy. Kehl spends fortunes that don’t translate into titles. That’s enough already. Almost seventy million euros for three players who can’t decide a simple match. Everything is wrong.

    That ending to the game looked exactly like what it would like if you were relying on your three centre backs, Bensebaini and a striker on the wing to create a chance to tie a game at a crucial time – not going to happen. Could have used a proper winger here, obviously Duranville was out which is a shame.

    the quality just isn’t there. We have a bunch of solid players but guess what? So do most upper third clubs in the Bundesliga. We gotta stop buying their players thinking they’ll magically improve. We need better scouting and find those undervalued players like we used to. Management is just straight up ass and it doesn’t help we change philosophies of play every season with a new coach and the same old issues.

  17. Let’s take a moment to appreciate Cans performance tonight. As a CB he’s incredible. I hope he never plays as a midfielder ever again though

    We just don’t have a very good team. We are also too predictable.  We rely so much on crosses now.  I almost fell asleep watching them play.

  19. I’m afraid we’re slowly turning into the next Schalke/Hamburg with how the club is being run, not even talking about this match, i’m talking about how our squad is full of mediocre players, we’ve been on a steady decline for a long time now, it is very concerning and no one is being questioned because the club is ran on nepotism and emotions not results

  20. The takes in this thread saying we aren’t a good team are baffling. We completely dominated Leverkusen this game, we were just shit at creating chances. Watching this game and going „Oh we’re a bad team“ is incredible.

  21. Our attack is just extremely predictable.

    Our standards are fucking 3rd league level. Holy shit I’ve seen 12 graders create better chances from corners.

    Our crossing is just pure ass.

    The fight and attitude was good, but this was such an unnecessary loss. Absolute ass.

  22. I’m sorry, I know they are young, but fucking Beier and Jobe cost what? 70 million or something? Neither has the level to play here.

    Kehl has to go. Enough is enough.

  23. I will never understand Kovac’s logic with subs. I mean, fckng Groß, Brandt… terrible. And why taking off Silva, why can’t we for once try to make pressure with him and Guirassy together? Serhou’s impact was almost zero, not counting that weak ass shot in the last minute.

  24. The board and manager have ultimately succeeded at turning us into a mid table Bundesliga team. Can’t even blame them, they’ve made their intentions clear from the start.

    This Team lacks creativity,finishing,crosses and Set Pieces in general. We need to buy more young creative players like Karetsas(as a transfer)or Cherny from the academy and maybe Campbell from the academy aswell.
