So far Dortmund is still in 7th place in the standings. This result is quite bad for Dortmund because they are one of the candidates for the title even though their chances are very small. However, Dortmund is still considered as one of the teams competing in the UCL zone in the standings so I think they should not only prioritize UCL. Last season they made it to the final and that was extraordinary. But it is difficult to repeat what they have achieved in the previous season. And if they do not prioritize the Bundesliga by at least trying to get into the UCL zone, I think Dortmund is likely to fail to qualify for the UCL next season.
Yea the team is that position but thats because of their poor performance, so far they have play 8 matches in the German bundesliga, they were able to win 4, lose 3 and draw 1 and as it stands they have gotten 13 points and with the look of things they are not ready for any improvement, in their last 5 matches including in the DFB Pokal, they managed to win St. Pauli on a 2:1 fight which would have ended in a draw, they lost others, it's very bad that even Wolfsburg that's occupying the 14th position in their league table won them in their yesterday encounter though in extra extra added time the team is frustrated, they were unable to secure that win, I think that calls for a serious cautioning of the manager because it's now obvious that he is not getting it right, for team that wants to be relevant in the bundeliga competition, they really need to improve their performance.
I don't think with this performance of theirs, people will still see Dortmund as one of the major contenders of the UCL or bundesliga unless there is a kind of improvement but for now it is as it is, they team look confused that's why i suggest that they manager should act fast to stop the lingering bullshit.
