The surprise result of the day was Stuttgart beating Dortmund 5-1 at home. I don't think anyone expected such a difference, and after Stuttgart's loss to Real earlier in the week, we might have expected them to be in low spirits.
Nothing surprised me from Stuttgart beating Dortmund 5-1. It's all Nuri's fault for experimenting with his squad. And i hate him. I hate the way he was experimenting with his squad. This was because he was playing his players not in their actual positions.
It's very weird to see him put Sclotterbeck at LB, Sabitzer at RW/RM with Beier, and Gittens on the bench. That's insane. It feels like he is trying to be "tactical geniuses" with his weird formation.
Dortmund positive performance has finally been stopped by Stuttgart at the moment, previously we thought too much that Nuri Sain was able to bring Dortmund better this season after they were unbeaten in four matches and also a landslide victory in the Champions League, but what we see now is actually one of the reasons that makes me doubt if Nuri Sain will be able to bring Dortmund to compete with Munich and Leverkusen, I am quite sure if Dortmund able to enter the top 4 zone at the end of the season but to win the championship trophy seems to be something still difficult for them, the defeat against Stuttgart clearly shows the defensive weakness and also the mentality that Dortmund has at the moment although in fact the Dortmund squad is still better than Stuttgart.
If we look at the tactics and also the experiments carried out by Nuri Sahrin it is clear that currently he still has not found the right tactics and formations for Dortmund game so far, as a coach, pre-season matches should be the right time to experiment with determining team formations and not do it when the league is just starting now because this will actually make the players confused in every match they play, besides that, experimenting frequently will only make the team is unstable.
