Klopp is developing a strong case of Wengeritis




Dortmund are in the relegation dogfight. That is no longer a joke or an exaggeration, that is now a reality. THEY CAN GET BITCH-SLAPPED TO THE SECOND DIVISION. The reason for their shocking run of losses comes down to a case of wengeritis that Mr. Jurgen has developed.






When Dortmund are on it, there is no other club team in the world more entertaining. Just like when the invincibles had one of their top games, they were the best team in the world to watch. But in life, things NEVER stay the same. Change always happens which is a natural process of life. But Klopp, like Wenger, refuses to adapt and change their style based on how their opponents have changed over the course of seasons. That is pretty much the main reason that Dortmund are where they are.

Well, it would help just a teenie-weenie bit of Mkhitaryan could just for once score one of his easy chances. It's SCANDALOUS the amount of chances that he has missed. Because he is a very good player. A slight downgrade from Goetze, but a guy who has great control of the ball when running with it. Problem is he just should be BANNED from taking a shot on goal.


Again, I must chastize Klopp for this. Wengeritis. A problem is right before your eyes but you seem happy and content to wallow in it. Take Mkhitaryan off or demand he never shoots, scrap the high-line garbage, try and find another replacement for Subotic or play three at the back, in short...Klopp does not seem to have a plan B because surely, after about three losses in a row, you would fall back and try a different approach.


It saddens me seeing where Dortmund are because this could be the last time...for a pretty long time...that we see them in the Champions League.
The point gap is too great to claw back, and morale is too low. Once you get into the habit of losing, you forget what you have to do to win. Which is why the ONLY way Dortmund get out of this is if they change their strategy. Because teams have seen how others have beaten the yellow and black kids, and will employ that same quick counter attack to exploit the high-line.




However, if Klopp plays a more contained game, still maintaining their progressive passing but offers more protection for the defence, then that may be a remedy for the pain.
I don't believe they will get top four. IF they do, it would be one of the most miraculous turnarounds I've seen in football. It is POSSIBLE but HH is saying...it won't happen. Just focus on avoiding relegation and cure the wengeritis.
