cambridgeshire canary 6,835 Posted November 9, 2022 This sure sounds strangly familiar.. All a little early and premature given they are 9th in the table and all, but still rather interesting given the flaws we all know Farke had 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Load of Squit 5,224 Posted November 9, 2022 The results have been a bit hit & miss but they have suffered through injuries, they been missing some key players, last night they had the 3rd choice keeper playing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What kind of position would they realistically be hoping for as fans? Europe? Definitely. They finished 10th last season, which was the first time they've finished in the bottom half since 2010/11 (remember that the Bundesliga has 18 teams). They've finished in the top four on four occasions since then, and reached the last 16 of the Champions League two years ago. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Europe? Gladbach should be aiming to qualify for Europe, their problem has always been that they tend to lose their better players, Xhaka, Ter Stegen, Thorgan Hazard, Marco Reus have all had great seasons for Gladbach but not stayed at the club. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What kind of position would they realistically be hoping for as fans? Europe? As you can see right now they are 9th. Not bad so far but not amazing. Last season they finished 10th, 8th before then then they sort of over the lase decade or so have bounced between finishing down in 9th and having a high of finishing the season 3rd.. Apart from that odd 10-11 season in which they did awful and finished 16th. They were relegated down to the 2nd divison in 2007 but then went and finihed 1st and went straight back up the season after and aside from the 10-11 season since then they have never really looked in any trouble of going down again 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Google Bot 3,342 Posted November 9, 2022 Looks like they lost to second from bottom Vfl Bochum (Not a clue about them), when 3 points would've put them just outside the top 6 on goal difference. That's probably a kick in the nads and will cause more reactive responses as linked. Watched a few games live and thought they looked pretty decent, big step up in those 50k+ stadiums though.... It's a whole different level to what he was dealing with here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
overthebordercanary 142 Posted November 9, 2022 There was a good video/article on the BBC sport page regarding the Bundeslinga. Any German who supports anyone but bayern are happy to aim for 2nd place. Any bayern manager who loses 3 games the whole season gets his p45. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SwearyCanary 1,179 Posted November 9, 2022 They just lost against weaker opposition. Seems German has reactionary fans that vent after a loss like every football club in the world do! Not really a story is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

repman 636 Posted November 11, 2022 Dortmund look hilariously bad at the back. For the 3rd goal just then they had a 2v1 against their last man 50 yards from goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,868 Posted November 11, 2022 Part of me is surprised, part of me isn't. Gladbach's home form has been very good this season but they've struggled away, whereas Dortmund are just inconsistent in general, as they seem to have been for years.

One thing the bundesliga has always had is fantastic support and rocking stadiums, compare that to the Prem in which even United and Liverpool seem oddly quiet and gloomy nowadays..

repman 636 Posted November 11, 2022 This game appears to me to be the perfect encapsulation of the Bundesliga. Great fun because no side seems to be any good at defending. It's one of the reasons I thought Farke would do fine at Gladbach, when he's given the talent his sides will be good going forward and if they're good enough you don't have to worry as much about defence.
