Hard times

There have certainly been better months than this terrible football October. And the start into November didn't go as expected with the well-deserved home defeat against Gladbach.

If you try to answer the question who lost the game, the defense or the attack, then the answer is clear: both. If you don't pay attention twice in the back and score two equally annoying goals against each other and don't net in front despite numerous promising possibilities, then you are empty-handed after 90 minutes - despite again better statistics than the opponent. I think we could have continued playing for hours yesterday and it would not have been possible to equalise. Annoying, because Gladbach certainly didn't deserve to win.

Now again the discussion rages in the social media who is to blame for the bad series. First the coach stands in the fire, then Völler and Rolfes and isolated players. My God, there is no one to blame for the current situation. The team showed in the second half of the season that they are doing well. And only the team can free itself from the misery. Of course you also need luck sometimes. We certainly didn't have that, because our boys didn't get a second ball yesterday, for example, everyone went to the opponent.

Wednesday Atletico will come, certainly not the decisive game in the Champions League, to maybe reach the Euro League after all. A point or better three would help us very, very much.
