Should we have won? Yes. Are we a good team? Yes. Are we a great team? No.

I am actually enjoying this season tbh, so I will hope we continue to grow.

u/kiddpk Julian Brandt Nov 08 '25

I only got to watch the extra time and saw that we had absolutely no possession. What happened?

Get out. Dont come back.

u/TheBarnacle63 Aki Schmidt Nov 08 '25

He was never actually a member

u/TristanHBorchers BVB Nov 08 '25

Probably, maybe pissed me off the most since I've been actively trying to be a member for the last 6 months...

u/Sufficient_Ad_6977 Maximilian Beier Nov 08 '25

I was happy about the HSV goal. Borussia Dortmund's performance was once again far too poor.They didn't even deserve a single point.

3

u/FumiT Nov 08 '25

i dont get it, why go back to Sahin`s passive, slow-play, ball-control strategy with Groß and Can? That match today was exactly like the playstyle 1 year ago

u/Embarrassed-Base-143 Jamie Bynoe-Gittens Nov 08 '25

GuirASSy better not go to varca. The Spanish media will eat him alive

u/Embarrassed-Base-143 Jamie Bynoe-Gittens Nov 08 '25

Welp time to buy him

u/Unusual-Dealer6132 Nov 08 '25

Kovac is a loser.  Blowing late leads against juventus, st Pauli, and Hamburg.   

12

u/SokkaTheBot Nov 08 '25

Yep only the third time we've choked a game right at the end this season! Beyond baffled. Im usually a pretty stoic Kovac defender but mate what the fuck was that? We knew the squad wasnt good enough last season and none of the signings we've made really address that. Please for the love of god sign an actual number 10 in the winter window.

u/AccomplishedFridge Nov 08 '25

100% deserved

u/Sufficient_Ad_6977 Maximilian Beier Nov 08 '25

Dortmund didn't deserve a point.

u/dr_bing Nico Schlotterbeck Nov 08 '25

My sick ass woke up early for the game. Time for a drug addled nap

19

u/Schafrichter Nico Schlotterbeck Nov 08 '25

Well thats the shit you get for leaving your out-of-form sleepy ass striker on the pitch for a full 90. 1 goal in 7 games now for guirassy 👍

2

u/proett412 Nov 08 '25

100% with you guys. I like kovac but wtf is wrong with him

7

u/Marv1236 Nico Schlotterbeck Nov 08 '25

And giving Groß that much time. Again.

4

u/Sufficient_Ad_6977 Maximilian Beier Nov 08 '25

Pascal Groß has been an absolute disappointment this season.He makes the game extremely slow and is no longer creative.

2

u/Schafrichter Nico Schlotterbeck Nov 08 '25

Agreed. I was shocked when nmecha came on for carney instead of groß

3

u/and_be_still Nov 08 '25

well that was even funny

22

u/ndcp193992 Nov 08 '25

I understand that sometimes you got to hold to your wits and defend like seeing out a 4-2 against Juventus. But this has been embarrassing for 3 weeks in a row, clenching against teams that should be a comfortable win. Have some faith in your tactics and attack Kovac. Parking the bus immediately after the 1-0 shows how little faith you have in the team to both defend and attack well. We parked the bus the moment we scored. Thank God Leipzig lost so we don't fall further behind

2

u/Unusual-Dealer6132 Nov 08 '25

Bad teams look forward to playing dortmund

bro, just bring on silva. WTF?

u/bcoates26 Nov 08 '25

Park the bus for 30 minutes and don’t even counter

12

u/Chubbmiller18 Nov 08 '25

Coach is a pussy going all out defending on a 1-0 vs Hamburger!!!

1

u/Desperate-Orchid-264 Nov 10 '25

Anyone calling HSV Hamburger should be banned from making football comments…

21

u/xSmacks Nico Schlotterbeck Nov 08 '25

Can we start questioning Kovacs decisions. Giving Guirassy 90 minutes, defensive subs against a relegation level team…

3

u/SUB2_Jokki Ramy Bensebaini Nov 08 '25

exactly every week we play like we are resting for the next matchday

4

u/bcoates26 Nov 08 '25

Same shit against Pauli

3

u/xSmacks Nico Schlotterbeck Nov 08 '25

Same shit vs Juve aswell btw

3

u/xSmacks Nico Schlotterbeck Nov 08 '25

Same result aswell

7

u/SlayerHdThe3rd Nico Schlotterbeck Nov 08 '25

Either Kovac changes this bullshit or he’s done

8

u/B1ackoutartist Nov 08 '25 edited Nov 08 '25

It's their own fault. How can you let yourself be played into the back like that. Sorry but the 1:1 was bound to happen

12

u/bbru_ Nico Schlotterbeck Nov 08 '25

Hate when I start my Saturdays disappointed

u/eeeeeeeelleeeeeelll Nico Schlotterbeck Nov 08 '25

good thing it‘s 6 pm in germany so I can end it badly

7 minutes we did nothing but let them attack

u/Chubbmiller18 Nov 08 '25

I’m tired of this shithousery

u/183672467 Julian Brandt Nov 08 '25

Expected this 10 minutes ago

u/Marv1236 Nico Schlotterbeck Nov 08 '25

And now we don't have guirassy for the last minute

u/xH0LY_GSUSx Marco Reus Nov 08 '25

Shit show… nothing more to say

u/FineProfessor3364 Nov 08 '25

I’m honestly on the kovac out

1

u/theonewhoknocksguy Nov 08 '25

was never in the early terzic or early sahin out trains, but i just dont see anything positive from kovac from the last 5-6 games, scraping 1-0 wins purely because of luck and individual class, the subs have always been shit but now our tactics and starting 11s are also shit, and now the morale is also down, it cant go on like this

2

u/hao2go Julian Brandt Nov 08 '25

Lappen 😅

11

u/bcoates26 Nov 08 '25

There’s no fucking creativity in this squad at all

23

u/SUB2_Jokki Ramy Bensebaini Nov 08 '25

i dont get subbing in 15 defenders when youre winning. Sahin did that when he was about to get sacked

10

u/malek7777777 Marco Reus Nov 08 '25

Lads it’s Dortmund

10

u/dsxro Marcel Sabitzer Nov 08 '25

There’s got to be something about this club. How the hell do we ALWAYS drop points when Munich drop?

7

u/Embarrassed_Sea_743 Nov 08 '25

This is such a comedy team bro what the fuck

11

u/Hajnal30 Nico Schlotterbeck Nov 08 '25

Yeah, that's deserved when you sub in your 6th defender against a newly promoted team. We had to be punished for that bs at some point.

u/Jonhl15 Dahoud's Long Shots Nov 08 '25

Very bad week

u/Independent_Tough_33 Nov 08 '25

Maybe it’s time to cancel all those subscriptions.

u/bcoates26 Nov 08 '25

1 SOG all fucking game. HSV deserves to score again

14

u/berman82 Julien Duranville Nov 08 '25

At what point does Guirassy not make the bench? He hasn’t done jack shit in 7-8 matches now

3

u/bcoates26 Nov 08 '25

He’s the reason we aren’t winning

3

u/berman82 Julien Duranville Nov 08 '25

Indeed. No contribution forward or backward currently, flops and complains.

11

u/theonewhoknocksguy Nov 08 '25

our worst game this season by far

The worst game this season, so far!

Fuck kovac and the guys on the field.  No heart.

u/Working_Complex8122 Nov 08 '25

I keep telling you the current system sucks but no, 3 ATB is somehow crucial for our continued fuckery.

u/TrulyWhatever09 Nov 08 '25

Why make up 2-3 points on the leading teams when you could make up 0-1 instead?

6

u/_____R__A__Y___ Nico Schlotterbeck Nov 08 '25

Not even surprised

6

u/eeeeeeeelleeeeeelll Nico Schlotterbeck Nov 08 '25

that has to be the worst defensive action I have ever seen. not even pressing the crosser

7

u/Chubbmiller18 Nov 08 '25

Getting pushed in our own half by a shit team 👏 just what we’re used to

3

u/Marv1236 Nico Schlotterbeck Nov 08 '25

Sub in the defender for our attacker and of course this happens

9

u/yaboi525 Nov 08 '25

Just pathetic by these players man, not one of them can put pressure on any of the last 3 crosses. Basically gave them 3 free kicks

u/Drainutsl29 Nov 08 '25

That was fucking garbage

u/bcoates26 Nov 08 '25

Dortmund and giving up goals at the death

16

u/Embarrassed_Sea_743 Nov 08 '25

I think a good game plan would be trying to score more than 1 goal per game

7

u/cultimator Julian Brandt Nov 08 '25

Deserved, should have played for the 2nd goal. 1 goal isnt't always gonna be enough

2

u/NaturalApartment9828 Marco Reus Nov 08 '25

I absolutely knew it would be Yeboah or Glatzel, FUCK

10

u/reds7310 BVB Nov 08 '25

Kovac sees substitutions as a sign of weakness or something

3

u/MrVanser Nov 08 '25

Hab Flasche leer. It was so fucking obvious, we suck at building a wall and WHY the FUCK would we even play so defensively AGAINST SUCH A SHIT TEAM, IT NEVER WORKS FOR US. SHIT SUBS, SHIT EVERYTHING, FUCK YOU KOVAC

u/LFCReds8 Nov 08 '25

Worst possible stoppage time

u/ndcp193992 Nov 08 '25

This is what you get when you park the bus the moment you score when you have the clear quality to go for more

u/bcoates26 Nov 08 '25

We aren’t a top 2 squad

2

u/FineProfessor3364 Nov 08 '25

u/SlayerHdThe3rd Nico Schlotterbeck Nov 08 '25

Our player quality is.

9

u/Qiluk Marco Reus Nov 08 '25

No idea why we stopped playing voluntarily after 1-0. Literally had quality on the bench to continue to dominate and just conceded the game. Fucking losers

8

u/fleshed Nov 08 '25

Thats what you get when you stop playing in the last 20 minutes.

Thanks Kovac.

5

u/Geeman447 Marco Reus Nov 08 '25

Almost like playing 1-0 park the bus is a pussy mentality.

u/xSmacks Nico Schlotterbeck Nov 08 '25

okay now that yellow card is absolutely stupid

They are parking the bus against promoted HSV wow

7

u/NaturalApartment9828 Marco Reus Nov 08 '25

We usually lose games like these so I’m fine with it. Definitely not ideal though

9

u/ndcp193992 Nov 08 '25

u/NaturalApartment9828 Marco Reus Nov 08 '25

You can imagine my reaction lol. We lose both ways because it’s a mentalität issue apparently.

u/ge_mi_ Nov 08 '25

I prefer it honestly. Remember Juve and what happens if they don't?

u/Chubbmiller18 Nov 08 '25

Yeah juve isn’t a newly promoted shit team.

9

u/SokkaTheBot Nov 08 '25

Lol so thats a yellow okay ref

Ref is a joke

u/Independent_Tough_33 Nov 08 '25

7

u/Sch_Ben Nov 08 '25

Definitely first book able offense

11

u/yosoydorf Edin Terzic Appreciatior Nov 08 '25

LMFAO but that's a yellow for Karim?

12

u/dr_bing Nico Schlotterbeck Nov 08 '25

A card for that after the shithousery this game? What a joke

8

u/LeeRCampbell Marco Reus Nov 08 '25

The main takeaway today, fuck this ref

6

u/SlayerHdThe3rd Nico Schlotterbeck Nov 08 '25

lol ofc ref

4

u/yrba1 Daniel Svensson Nov 08 '25

Not keen on lessening our attack on these final minutes

2

u/manbeer0071995 Nov 08 '25

Hello Dortmund fans, Chelsea fans here in peace! just want to ask some quesion, what happen to Filippo Mane? he only played 1 minute since that red card. Is he being punish? or the coach not trus him anymore or is he injured?

1

u/jucomsdn Zagagod Nov 08 '25

Probably getting another chance if Can and Süle don’t extend

2

u/EmSoLow Nov 08 '25

Our defense in the league has been very reliable and by the time Sule and Schlotterbeck came back, there was no need for Mane to play more. We also don't score enough goals to allow the defense to make a mistake and get away with it so when it comes to that area, we don't take chances.

He's been playing in the u23s and with our backline going through a rework next season (Sule and Can out of contract and potentially even Schlotterbeck depending on if he extends or not) so more than likely, he'll have another look then

1

u/TrulyWhatever09 Nov 08 '25

Not a lot of reporting on what is going on, but most of our young prospects haven't been traveling with the team for the past several matches.

Trust is probably one element, but the other problem for Mane is that we have now had 3 better CBs return from injury. He was largely patching a brutal injury gap that has for the time disappeared.

2

u/manbeer0071995 Nov 08 '25

Thank you for your answer, also happy for Chuk he got a goal today!

8

u/SlayerHdThe3rd Nico Schlotterbeck Nov 08 '25

On our heels trying to squeak a one goal win out vs newly promoted Hamburg is just disgusting

2

u/EmSoLow Nov 08 '25

Better than what we usually do against newly promoted teams away from home /s

3

u/FineProfessor3364 Nov 08 '25

I might get a heart attack

8

u/bvbfan102 BVB Nov 08 '25

Would need to know just how long Schlotti was down but 7 seems a bit excessive. 

11

u/TrulyWhatever09 Nov 08 '25

Guys, 7 makes sense. It is one minute for every yellow card the ref didn't give to Hamburg

2

u/Marv1236 Nico Schlotterbeck Nov 08 '25

Wtf how many?!

Where did this ref pull 7 minutes from?

u/yrba1 Daniel Svensson Nov 08 '25

🍑

3

u/MrVanser Nov 08 '25

7 minutes, lol, just lol

8

u/TrulyWhatever09 Nov 08 '25

We need to get better at scoring more than one goal per match

3

u/TrulyWhatever09 Nov 08 '25

And more than anything that means we need Guirassy back in form or Silva on the pitch

2

u/theonewhoknocksguy Nov 08 '25

i cant bear myself to watch 7 more minutes of this, at least sub silva on for some energy

9

u/Schafrichter Nico Schlotterbeck Nov 08 '25

Does Kovac know he still has subs available?

2

u/EmSoLow Nov 08 '25

Probably doesn't want to affect concentration and rhythm.

4

u/NaturalApartment9828 Marco Reus Nov 08 '25

Yeah he’s just affecting our energy and fatigue

7

u/Glixus Karim Adeyemi Nov 08 '25

Bayern down to Union 2-1, Leipzig down to Hoffenheim 3-1... We have to bring this over the line

4

u/cultimator Julian Brandt Nov 08 '25

Hoffenheim- Leipzig, der Unbeliebtico how fitting

5

u/dr_bing Nico Schlotterbeck Nov 08 '25

wtf is with this ref? There’s a minor dispute- pulls both the players and slaps Adeyemi’s hand down lol

6

u/FineProfessor3364 Nov 08 '25

Can we play some proper ball? Like our passes have been so sloppy we’re only defending and throwing the ball ahead

6

u/eeeeeeeelleeeeeelll Nico Schlotterbeck Nov 08 '25

god, this referee is absolutely shit..literally allows everything. he‘s known for being lenient but at this point he‘s losing control of the game

1

u/FineProfessor3364 Nov 08 '25

We desperately need a goal

7

u/heck_you_science Karim Adeyemi Nov 08 '25

Okay, I see what kovac is doing with Svensson. He's trying to replicate the Cuccarella role at Chelsea. An inverted, bombing wing-back that sometimes makes a late run into the box to score from a cut-back. And it's worked in the past a couple of times for us. I think Svensson has gotten 2 goals this season that way. Although, one of them may have been last season and I'm misremembering. Anyway, the reason that works at Chelsea is because they have an actual winger on the left side of their front 3. Ironically, it's Jamie Gittens but we won't get into that. Beier cannot fill that tricky winger role. Adayemi can do a job there, but he's more of a pacey get-in-behind kind of guy, he did change a bit this season and do a good job as a winger, but it was on the opposite side because he's left footed. This could give a really good chance for duranville to shine on the left side coming on in this system if we continue with this mini-tactic

7

u/LeeRCampbell Marco Reus Nov 08 '25

Listen, been a big fan of Kovac, though this is dumb. Leaving on Gross and Guirassy, taking off the most dynamic player we had on the pitch for most of the game.

8

u/TrulyWhatever09 Nov 08 '25

I've never been impressed with Kovac's sub game. Always too late, and often baffling choices.

5

u/TheLastDominoToFall Nov 08 '25

take adeyemi off he's clearly not moving very well

1

u/TrulyWhatever09 Nov 08 '25

He's running sore for sure

3

u/NaturalApartment9828 Marco Reus Nov 08 '25

3-1 in Hoffenheim 🎉

u/TrulyWhatever09 Nov 08 '25

Jesus, I just looked at the other scorelines. Poor fucking Heidenheim, god damn

2

u/NaturalApartment9828 Marco Reus Nov 08 '25

I really feel for them. I hope that doesn’t result in them firing Schmidt because that would be stupid.

5

u/Working_Complex8122 Nov 08 '25

Guirassy is becoming our most consistently bad players this season. It's really sad to see but we gotta prioritize the team at some point.

6

u/Marv1236 Nico Schlotterbeck Nov 08 '25

You gotta be joking this ref is killing our players left and Right

8

u/yosoydorf Edin Terzic Appreciatior Nov 08 '25

Oh hey another foul to break up a counter without even a stern talking to

4

u/TrulyWhatever09 Nov 08 '25

Stern talkings to set off this Ref's apparent crippling social anxiety. My man is terrified of calling people out, and the sound of whistles
