Dortmund showed a different performance in the UCL, what impressed us all about Dortmund was their success in qualifying from the hell group. However, in the Bundesliga they look a little unstable, usually Dortmund always compete tightly and suppress Bayern's dominance, but this season Laverkusen has taken over that role and appeared more impressive. The time gap until mid-January can be utilized by all teams competing in the Bundesliga, I think even though there are no new player recruitments, this time gap will be used to evaluate their respective performance.

Dortmund is now knocked out of the top four of the standings and has collected 27 points, the opportunity to penetrate the UCL zone is still open. Consistency in securing full points is a priority in the remaining matches of the second half, if they don't do something in the transfer window then they will have difficulty finishing in the top four of the standings.

Dortmund’s performance in the UCL is way different from how they perform im the domestic league. In the UCL they seem to be one big demon but a shadow of themselves when they get to the league. But rating their overall performance I’ll rate it mid, because this Dortmund isn’t what we know them to be and they’ve been overtaken by the likes of Leverkusen and Stuttgart, I think they need to sit up and maintain consistency.

Yes, the break is important at this period but without better addition to the entire team, I don’t think this Dortmund side will pose any kind of threat to Bayern Munich or Leverkusen. Rather they’ll try to maintain their UCL spot which is still very open. I think the team needs some key additions especially since the departure of Jude the team’s midfield hasn’t been in sweet shape; more reason for the addition of one or two key players to pilot the midfield.

Dortmund has been excellent thus far in the Champions league but there is no hope for them winning it probably will make it to at most semi finals while they continue to drop points in the Bundesliga. I guess we can say the two teams dominating the Bundesliga are now in danger of losing their positions since both teams are usually not consistent especially Dortmund but now there have been teams who are currently consistent and if these teams are able to continue their form then the two dominating team in bundesliga will likely see a reason to do better especially Dortmund.

Dortmund may opt for a new signing this January or the end of the season but I guess this is among the less outstanding Dortmund squad before every season Dortmund usually have at least a star player who every other club are interested in, hopefully their scout may get an excellent player for them this January
