In addition to that, Borussia Dortmund does not seem to prioritize winning of trophies more than their own business as a club. They easily sell off their players that are doing greatly well and don’t think they can keep them back to perform well for them to win trophies. They value the money they get from selling players than the achievements they’ll get as a team when they win trophies. The Bundesliga is now a place for the more competitive teams and Dortmund performance cannot be said to be in an exceptional state for them to also be called a potential team for the Bundesliga title. They need to intensify their play to the level of other big teams in the league in order to stand a chance for the Bundesliga trophy. They are nothing compared to why they were last season, the earlier they adjust, the better for them for a potential win of the league title.

While it's true that they are not looking as great as last season, I also believe there are still so many games left, there is like 24 games left right? That's a lot of games, that means we are not done with even 1/3 of the season and that's a lot, so they could still do very well. They have a new manager, and that doesn't mean that we are going to see such a thing changing anytime soon.

We need to realize things aren't always that great and we need to realize teams aren't always ready for a manager change and sometimes it takes time for new one to put their ideas forward. Nuri Sahin was a great player, and he seems to be a good coach too, it may just take a bit of time and since they have a lot of time left in the season I am sure that we are going to see them do much better.

It was already discussed in this thread that bookmakers estimate Dortmund's chances of getting into the top 4 as 50%, which means their chances of getting into the top 5 are much higher. In this sense, the season is developing for them according to the usual scenario. Another thing is that we are used to the fact that Dortmund is aiming for much higher places. But all clubs have downturns, last year Dortmund was at least successful in the Champions League, let's see what happens this year.

Dortmund is not the same as Bayern Munich and they don't need to hire superstar players and have good performances in the Bundesliga. They usually prefer to earn money from selling player and this is how their business works in Dortmund. Now since Dortmund doesn't have good players we can't expect to see good performance and get good results from this team. However, I think one big reason for them to have their bad and weak performance is their coach Nuri Şahin. Since Nuri Şahin joined this team he couldn't have a good performance at all.

In my opinion in UCL Bayern Munich's performance is not too bad, losing 2 times out of 4 matches is still reasonable because we know this is the first time Kompany as a coach competes in a competition as big as UCL, slowly as you said he can definitely improve his squad's performance and in any case the opportunity to qualify for the next phase is still open. On the other hand in the Bundesliga they are in good condition, 10 matches without defeat indicates the Bundesliga trophy can return to the Allianz Arena, I think if Kompany is able to present the trophy, it is an extraordinary achievement as a young coach.

It is undeniable that Bayern Munich this season has performed impressively under Kompany, they even have a great opportunity to create a record like Leverkusen last season by winning the trophy without being defeated, especially this season the main rival teams in the Bundesliga such as Leverkusen and Dortmund are in unstable performance.

Luckily Kompany is coaching a team as big as Bayern Munich, even though he is still young and has minimal experience, his leadership mentality is very much felt, plus the Bayern Munich players have above average quality so Kompany can easily coach them. In addition, when Kompany was still at Man City he was coached by a quality coach, of course that will affect him.

A team as big as Bayern Munich certainly doesn't think about focusing on the Bundesliga alone, they are a team that is always favored in the Champions League every season. so I think Kompany will continue that trend, he will still make the Champions League a target, especially now that he is able to control the dressing room, of course this will have an impact on a compact and solid internal.

After all, basically Dortmund is not a team that always wins trophies, so it is a natural result if Dortmund ends the season without a trophy. Because after all, the efforts made by Dortmund from season to season are only to be able to finish in a good position in the standings at least in the topfour, not about trophies. Thus, if about whether Dortmund still have a chance to finish in the top four or  not this season, then the answer is yes.

Because in fact, although Dortmund are currently only in 7th place with 16 points, but Dortmund also only has a 1 point gap with Bayer Leverkusen who are in fourth place with 17 points at the moment. Therefore,if only to be able  to finish in the top four,  basically Dortmund still has a good chance and it is a normal result for Dortmund and the competition in the Bundesliga  will certainly remain interesting.

Yes, it is certain that their extraordinary performance this season is thanks to those who managed to learn from the failures of last season by evaluating all the mistakes and changing them, Bayern Munich started the season very well with 8 wins and 2 draws from 10 matches they have passed, meaning they have not lost at all which now makes them lead the league with 26 points, I think I am not too worried about the threat from Xabi Alonso's squad, although it is possible for them to catch up but with a fairly large point difference I think it is very unlikely, on the other hand even though Bayern Munich leads the standings with a fairly large point difference but it does not mean they have to relax, there is no time to waste opportunities if they really want to return to being champions as we usually see in the past few seasons.

For sure its possible that they can win the title with a lot of luck and an improve of their performance but here the other teams also must be losing.
The problem right now in Dortmund is that they have a lot of injured good players and i guess thats the biggest reason why they dont perform good.

Most of the good players who were sold could simply no longer be afforded financially.
And they got a few new players but most of them injured.

Certainly, with time Bayern Munich would prove themselves again. If not for their poor performance at the champions league they would have been considered one of the favourites, remember they made it to the last four during the previous edition of the champions league last season but were ousted by Real Madrid, besides Bayern Munich has always been one of the favourites in this competition except for this season where they seem to be a bit shaky.

Last season, Harry Kane failed to win the Bundesliga title due to Tuchel's poor performance. he did not make any improvements to help the club win trophies, and Real Madrid knocked them out of the Champions League, while Bayer Leverkusen won the Bundesliga. Kane came to Bayern Munich to win trophies because he did not make it in the Premier League, he spent many seasons with Tottenham but did not achieve what Is chasing.But now am seeing Munich as improve very well and topping the league that means that the new coach is doing good job and am seeing how the league is moving currently bayern Munich will be the favorite of winning the Bundesliga this season. Except that some of their players are injured, they will perform poorly, allowing other clubs to overtake them in the league table. Because Leipzig and Frankfurt are now performing well and vying for the top spot in the league. Bayern Munich's next game will be a facile victory because Augsburg is in poor form after that, Munich will face challenging matchups in the the league of heroes, including PSG in the UCL and Dortmund in the league.


Nothing is impossible, you are correct. Dortmund still has a chance to win the league if they improve their performance in the competition and continue to win matches. But it will be very difficult for Dortmund to recover now because their performance has been very poor, which I do not believe is due to the coach, because Dortmund has sold many of their key players in the club who can win the UCL and even the league title, but they usually focus on selling their key players and receiving a large sum rather than replacing strong players. If Dortmund continues to sell key players, they will continue to fail to win titles season after season. They do well last season in the ucl but in term of league they don't didn't cooperate and this season they are more good in the ucl then the Bundesliga this time again, let see how the season will be but if they improve they can finish in top 4 in the league this season, and get a chance and qualify to the ucl.

Bayern Munich have learned from their mistakes last season, and I don't see them not winning the Bundesliga this season. Although anything is possible, with the consistency that Bayern Munich have this season, it's very hard to expect. BTW, I'm happy to see Bayern Munich make the Bundesliga their farmer's league again, LOL.

A player of Harry Kane's caliber will always contribute to any team he goes to. If he becomes the top scorer in the Bundesliga, this season could be a great experience for him. When a manager changes, it can take a while for the team to adapt to new tactics. Bayern Munich's situation is similar. They have the quality squad to compete in both the league and the Champions League.

Kompany has managed the team well so far and is trying to bring out the team's potential. I don't know how long this process will take, but if Bayern Munich starts beating the big clubs, Kompany and his team will have proven themselves.

Based on the statistics I see on bundesliga table, I wouldn't say Vincent kompany is doing badly, I think the decision to bring him in as the coach of Bayern Munich has been justified, though it hasn't been a smooth journey for the coach and his players as they failed to get it right in the champions league but I think the future is bright for Bayern under Vincent kompany 's leadership and maybe next season they might get it right in the UCL but for now it is better they concentrate on winning the bundesliga where they are currently leading.

They don't need to win all the matches, they only need to finish in the playoff places which are till place 24, even two wins and a draw is enough for that since it would be impossible in terms of probabilities for more than 24 teams to secure more than 2 wins that would be 72 wins in the remaining 18x2, also 72 matches.
They need to beat Donetsk and Bratislava and draw with Feyenoord, they can even afford to lose against PSG.


There is no way Bayern would be able to defeat in terms of points the Bayer team from the other season, Bayer lost only 12 points, Bayern has already lost 4, it must not make more than 4 draws or not lose 3 matches, and I doubt it will be possible, especially with a pressure from both CL and this retarded UEFA nations league hammering their team.

I didn't really expect them to drop so drastically, they're one of the big boys in the Bundesliga and should be among the clubs challenging Munich for this season's dominance. 7th position is very bad for a team like Dortmund and I'm pretty sure that lots of bettors would've lost hope on them by now cause they've disappointed severally this season, they've lost about 4 tines, much more than any other big teams in the league, the only team that's yet to lose in the Bundesliga is Bayern Munich and they really mean business unlike Borussia Dortmund. Well, there are big clubs that doesn't start well during the early stages of a tournament but would rediscover their form as time goes on and get back in the top 4 spot. It's understandable if they're putting much effort in the UCL, that tournament is more competitive than the Bundesliga and what every top European club wants to achieve. Well, it's not going to be very easy for a team like Dortmund to win it though. However, I love their effort anyways, let's see how far they can go in the UCL and hopefully they'll rediscover their form in the Bundesliga sooner.

Dortmund performance in the league at the moment is very bad even so far they have lost a lot of points and made them lag behind Munchen as the top of the standings, seeing what is shown by Dortmund at the moment honestly I don't have confidence if their are able to rise later, because so far Nuri Sahin doesn't seem to have strategies and tactics that can make a lot of difference in each of their matches and that it are very different from what Edin Terzic did previously, Poor performance and consistency is of course the reason for them positions at the moment, but there is a little positive hope in Dortmund at the moment in the UCL which in my opinion they actually perform better than in the Bundesliga, it cannot be denied that the league journey is still very long but we also cannot guarantee if they can be better later.

It's too early to say this all but I believe Dortmund will not perform badly towards the end of the season. I admit that this season it is possible that Dortmund will not be easy to compete with Munich, but believe me the hope of becoming runner up is still open for Dortmund. And regarding the cup that we are discussing here, it seems that Dortmund struggle is not over yet because there are several competitions that Dortmund can still pursue.

I think the Borussia Dortmund side isn't as charming as they were last season and may not even finish this season with a trophy as speculated by many, the reason is because the competition is intensifying and there more emerging clubs that are contending or rather playing well and are trying to occupy the top position where clubs like dortmund usually occupy and at such it would take a miracle to see the Dortmund side bounce back to the level they were last season.

So far Kompany has shown his quality and ability in leading Munich to the Bundesliga although previously he was doubtful due to the lack of experience he has to coach a team as big as Munich, but today we can see how he is able to overcome the challenge by bringing Munich to become the only unbeaten team in the league at the moment, Attractive strategy and also style of play plus the support of sharp strikers like Kane of course make they have a great chance of winning the league title this season, I also think,  if at the moment kompany may only focus on domestic competitions and that could be a good strategy to ensure they remain dominant in the Bundesliga this season, I think it's good for Kompany not to have ambitions to win the Champions League trophy this season and it's better for him to target the Bundesliga trophy in his first season in coaching for save his position in end season later.
