Auba has actually been one of the very few positives for BVB this season. Without him, they'd be even much worse off atm.

Never said it's his fault. Just saying Klopp made a poor decision in replacing Lewandowski with Immobile. The quality between these two are huge.

It's like Balotelli's situation at Liverpool. The team's position is not merely his fault, doesn't rule out the fact that he was a poor choice to replace Suarez.

Don't mind Josh. He comes in defense of anything Serie A and David Moyes. Basically mediocrity is his thing.

Just like he's pretty sure Immobile doesn't play half the games, I'm pretty sure he doesn't watch the ones he does play.

The prob with BVB is whilst they create, many a times they fail to convert their chances, thus hurting their aspirations. Besides, their incessant injury troubles.

In the Hertha game for instance, Ciro Italian mediocrity Immobile proved too impotent in front of goal, missing one point blank header in the dying mins. He belongs in the washed up Serie A, may be playing for AC Milan. So I agree with you about BVB making a poor judgement in bringing the Italian.

WTH???? Letting Wolfsburg equalize in the 85th minute, and losing 2 precious points. Sigh, 15 points and 16/17/th place.

You're such an anti-jinx. I mean I generally agree that he looks like a scrub but right after your post he of course plays the game of his life today. :lol:

I did have a feeling he'd get on the scoresheet after I posted. lol But he showed his ineptness right through the match. He was having a horrow show in terms of finishing up until his goal, an attempt he almost mucked up given all the space he had. Later on, he concedes the corner from which Wolfs equalize. So he canceled out any good he did previously.

Ancelotti disagrees. :p

Really? Looks like he's adapting Real Madrid to be more comfortable with possession lately.

Anyways. Is it just me that is seriously questioning Klopp's tactics right now?

I love Bayern but I do want Dortmund playing in the CL.

Forget the fact that Klopp hasn't been able to adapt to other teams "figuring" out his tactics, which is generally true. His tactics in general are ridiculous. Unbalanced lineups. Gundogan has been their best player when on the pitch and he subs him off. Okay, maybe he's not fit to play a full match yet. But then you leave on Kehl and Grosskreutz who are clearly having a bad game. 90% of the time his subs do more harm than good.

You can see the gulf of difference between Pep and Klopp there. Example: in the BVB vs Bayern game, Klopp subs out Kagawa who had been marking Xabi well, which lets Alonso get back in the game. Pep subs out Gotze who had been a weak point and subs in Ribery, which brought in instant results.

Or if the team needs a goal, instead of subbing in creative/technical midfielders he subs in more strikers. Then the quality of the chances created takes a dive. It's so odd..

I know that the players are doing badly themselves and that people don't want to blame Klopp but he does need to get things together. At this point, his best "solution" might have been wearing the CL kits in the Bundesliga.
