I still think it's too early to think about them getting relegated, despite their current position, but if they're playing in the Bundelsiga the way they played against a (let's not forget) very average Arsenal side, then who knows? But even if they avoid the drop, not qualifying for any European football at all (which does seem very possible) would be disaster enough, not just for Dortmund but for Klopp. He's currently still on the radar of clubs like Liverpool and Arsenal but more performances like the one on Wednesday will really hurt his prospects with any potential employers.

You could put this to Ajax too. Great players brought up, sold, which then buggers up their champions league.
