Borussia Dortmund are not in good run yet with their performance since the beginning of the season. Their last game was such a bad game I have seen from them in a long time and even the first game was not that great. I just hope things get better for them otherwise, they might not even be opportune to play in the conference league next season. They should take a look at Leverkusen that play attractive and passionate football, the players they have are not in anyway better than the ones playing at Dortmund. They should be up to the task and the next game. They have the squad depth necessary but the couch seems to have little experience because having a team like this without getting anything out of it is incredible.
A difficult match with Werder, the referee handed out ten yellow cards during the match, eight of them were given to Dortmund players, and Schlotterbeck managed to get two cards and had to leave the field for the rest of the match. Dortmund played roughly, maybe because they couldn't keep up with Werder players, but the hosts spent most of the match defending and, by the way, they did it very well. I haven't noticed Dortmund acting so roughly on the field before, maybe it's the influence of Shahin, it's hard to say yet.
