The name of this blog has never been more appropriate than these days. Four defeats in a row and at the beginning of a season let one low point follow the next. The home game against Hoffenheim clearly showed the insecurity of the team.
The list of shortcomings was long on Saturday. While Bayer "only" failed in Dortmund and against Augsburg because of goals conceded and a disastrous use of chances, the Werkself presented a complete range of failures in the 0:3 against Hoffenheim, especially before the break. Technically, they were shockingly faulty for long stretches, they were not present in the duels, especially when the goals were conceded, they were poorly positioned and lacked ideas on the offensive, and they were sleepy and inconsistent on the defensive, where Bayer offered a lot and did little or nothing to stop it.
There is nothing more to say today.
