Dortmund are my favorite team to watch in an attacking sense. You cannot name me a more entertaining team to watch going forward than these boys...because there isn't. That is why it is so sad that Klopp hurts their potential by giving the finger to defence.
There is no reason with Reus in the team, that Dortmund cannot mount a realistic challenge to Bayern and even win the Champions League. Damn right, I just said that. Even without Lewandowski and the World Cup winning scorer, Dortmund are good enough to beat ANY team on their day. But football is a lot more than strikers an attacking midfielders. You have to worry about the thugs behind you, whose job it is to stop goals from coming in. And Klopp just does not address this.
It is mind-numbing to see how Dortmund keep conceding the same goals over and over again. And
Klopp just does not see how Subotic and Weidenfeller and even Schmelzer are just not cutting it and are liabilities. There seems to be this belief in his blonde mind that as long as they have their amazing attack, they will be fine. But the league table does not lie my friends.
If Dortmund had bought a tough defensive midfielder and a replacement for Subotic in January, then they would be in much better shape. Oh, and Weidenfeller should give up the armband and go sleep on the bench. A keeper who makes the amount of mistakes he has, would NEVER keep his spot in any big and proper club. So you have to assume that he is close with Jurgen and like Casillas, he is part of the club's fabric and is undroppable.
Wengeritis pron. Ven - gah - ritis - Sticking to one way of thinking without any consideration to an alternative, even though your way of thinking has lead to issues and problems.
Klopp has this disease, and I don't want him to end the way Arsene is, and just being happy sleeping at a job he does not deserve to keep.
It is too late now, but IF he keeps his job for next season, then Klopp would raise his stock much higher if he learned a little bit more of how to defend with an ultra-attacking team.
