earlier today wolfsburg beat monchengladbach 1-0 in a lively game. really nice back and forth.
oh, poor dortmund-- kagawa running in circles without any decent help, mkhitarian shooting at the moon, ramos trampling around like a man on stilts, the defense floundering before frankfurt's lightning-fast counterattacks. this is like something out of a greek tragedy or the book of job. a closeup of klopp grinding his teeth as he watches from the sidelines is all you need to see to understand.

I watched a rerun of it. The result's what counts but I did think Dortmund were a bit unlucky, at least up front. They had a load of chances but just couldn't finish. Where they weren't unlucky was at the back. It was stupid defensive errors that gave Frankfurt the win.
Either way, I don't think I've ever seen a team fall so dramatically, relative to expectation. Even Man U under Moyes were never in contention for relegation. This is a whole other level of collapse. And yet the weirdest part is that the UK press can't stop its love affair with Klopp and the radio phone-ins are still full of Arsenal fans wanting him to replace Wenger. It's bizarre; as frustrating as Arsenal might be under Wenger, they'll still most likely qualify for the CL. It's as though the press and the fans are deliberately ignoring what's actually going on at Dortmund this season.
