Leverkusen have had a poor start to the season, and this will likely continue into the next few matches, given their formidable opponents. Ten Hag simply cannot be relied upon to lead this team forward, especially with a busy schedule ahead.
I think so too. In their previous five matches, Leverkusen had always easily defeated Hoffenheim, and it shouldn't have been a difficult task for the experienced Leverkusen. But Ten Hag arrival seems to bring a new, even worse history.

Just imagine against a weaker team, Leverkusen was unable to get victory. Then what if later against a stronger team and has a denser schedule. I am sure this season will be a scary season for Leverkusen.
