Seriously. But to me, with the way they are playing right now, their method of play is still not bad, and I think they can still fight for the top 4 in the standings with this current performance. I think Dortmund needs to work on their performance and do more because their consistency is not good enough anymore, and this will affect them in the long run. Dortmund is one of the top clubs competing in the Bundesliga, but now they are leaving it to other clubs; they can’t even maintain the top 4 spot for a long time anymore, which is bad for them.
In terms of points, they are only 5 points behind the teams in the top 4, which means they still have a very big chance to be able to return to the competition at least in the fight for a place to go to the Champions League.
But the problem is, with their current performance, I'm not so sure they can do it, unless they can be even better. This week they will also have a tough match, they will face Frankfurt who are in good form. This will be a tough challenge for Borussia Dortmund, I myself will not be surprised when I see them have to experience defeat in this tough match.
The season is still long, and Dortmund is only five points behind the top four, of course Dortmund's chances of returning to the top four are still very open. It must be admitted, Dortmund, as we know, usually competes tightly for the championship title, but this season they have to fight hard to finish in the top four. In my opinion, for Dortmund, this season must be a season to rebuild the team. Because Dortmund's current slump is commonplace because there have been major changes in the squad and also a change of coach. Both parties must be able to align themselves and that takes time, and in the rest of this season Nuri Sahin must be able to learn from experience and be able to motivate the players to unite as a team. I think Nuri Sahin is currently under pressure, but if he can get out of that pressure, he will be able to create a good squad.
Dortmund is currently experiencing inconsistent performance and the most painful thing is the defeat against Holstein Kiel. Because Kiel is a small team, they even managed to show how simple the game of football is, which was previously not favored to win, but with teamwork and a solid team, everything can be done. Nuri Sahin must learn from this when facing Eintracht Frankfurt this week, he must be able to perform better to make up for the painful defeat to Holstein Kiel last week.
