Their 2-1 home defeat is a major problem. Everyone had their doubts about Erik Ten Hag. And they're probably right, because they played terribly in the first leg. Despite scoring in the sixth minute, they seemed to have shown they weren't going to win the Bundesliga title. Ten Hag looks set to be a major disappointment after Xabi. What are your expectations for Leverkusen this year?

My thoughts are with Leverkusen's fans. I can only imagine what is going through their heads right now Grin

I knew it was a big mistake when ETH was appointed the job. Alonso worked so hard to raise the club from where it was to a Bundesliga top-flight team. I've no doubt in ETH's abilities. He'll do the opposite. The home defeat to Hoffenheim is just the beginning.

Leverkusen fans will likely be muttering all week that Ten Hag appointment as Xabi Alonso successor was a disaster, and that the 2-1 loss to Hoffenheim was the beginning of the decline. That's likely what Leverkusen fans are thinking right now, they are clearly disappointed with their beloved team performance.

Ten Hag should have capitalized on the momentum, leading Leverkusen to secure a three points at the BayArena on the first matchday. Despite the adaptation period, defeating Hoffenheim should have been an easy task, not without reason, Hoffenheim is a mediocre club.

Ten Hag must quickly find a way to secure three points in the next match before pressure from the media, fans, and everyone else make it even more difficult.
