see normally in the bundesliga the opposing teams play them defensively and neutralize dortmund's counterattack. arsenal had less possession today! 45% vs. 55 dortmund/

the problem with klopp's system it seems to me is that
- it relies on young players who can overrun the opposition
and
- when said players get old, they can't run as fast and/or they get injured (sometimes when young too)
and
- it depends too much on counterattacking. what do you do when you have possession most of the time?
and
- it relies on exceedingly young brilliant players (gotze, lewandowski, reus) which are rare/easily poached/ get injured.

the thing with his system, it's not brilliant, but it depends for its brilliance on individual ability, and this year he doesn't have it, hence = dull.

immobile should have make it work but what the fuck is up with him. i don't know. top serie a goalscorer last year now can't find his way out of a paper bag. also, aubameyang, fast but inaccurate. ramos has been a mess. mkhitarian always making impressive moves but always also failing to deliver.

the defense missing hummels & sokratis due to this or that always (sokratis = broken leg, hummels still out on an ankle injury). kehl about to retire. gundogan improving but still not in full form. kuba also injured. sahin no idea. kagawa with nobody to play the way he used to w/ gotze & reus-- or maybe it's that he can't run as when he was younger?

new strategy: recruit them at 19, make them run until they break, sell them at 25, rinse & repeat.

dortmund currently #16 on the bundesliga table (out of 18 teams). that's the relegation playoff spot.

the goal by sánchez was so pretty because it went out and curved into the goalpost and weidenfeller reached for it but it also curved downward and plopped riiiiiiiiight into a very small unreachable pocket-- what a beautiful shot because, damn, it's practically impossible. also not sure if you spotted but he attempted a similar one minutes before. practice makes perfect.
