It seems the doubts surrounding Ten Hag are starting to be confirmed, as he hasn't been able to lead Leverkusen to victory. The pressure will only increase as time goes on, the only way to retain his managerial position for a longer period is to quickly win the next match. Otherwise, anything Ten Hag says will seem like an excuse, and Leverkusen fans won't accept it.

Under Xabi Alonso, Hoffenheim and Bremen were no problem for Leverkusen. Seeing how Ten Hag didn't have the power to beat them today, it's fair to say that Ten Hag doesn't have a good game strategy to defend and attack well. Maybe he's not into exploring new game strategies anymore. Using the same old tactics is dumb and easy for others to predict.
This is not about the players but about how the coaches use the weapons in their arsenal to get the win. This is beyond expectations, not because it is still early in the league so we have to consider it, but precisely because their opening has been so bad that we don't believe it will be good for Leverkusen this season.
The next match is against Eintracht Frankfurt, and I'm not sure Leverkusen will win. Ten Hag needs to work hard and evaluate everything in their game strategy. We can see that their defense is very weak, and that should be a concern.
