Do not bury your head in the sand

The match statistics are only decisive in the subject of goals and there Dortmund has 2 and we 0. Unfortunately, it is of little use if we are ahead in all other match statistics: shots on goal 21 (Dortmund: 7), possession 57% (43%), duel rate 57% (43%) or pass rate 85% (81%).

The Werkself must not bury their heads in the sand after this home defeat. The season is still long enough and there are still plenty of chances to close the gap in front. In contrast to the fall, the relegation battle is no longer an issue. And the last few weeks have shown that it is possible. However, it would be important that Patrik Schick is quickly fit again. Our game would probably be a little more effective with a real center forward.

Friday we go directly to Augsburg. We've never lost there. And above all, it's about making up for the home defeat at the start of the Bundesliga, since it was Augsburg's first ever win over the Werkself. The following Saturday, the Bavarians then play host to Hoffenheim. Hopefully they won't fire their coach by then, that would probably make our lives a little easier. And we still have something to make up against Hoffenheim.
