And this...

Bees have battled injuries (who hasn't) but there's still so much talent there, with one of the world's best managers. Maybe gearing up for CL play will light a fire...

Most Bundesliga fans, even Bayern fans, shouldn't want BVB in the relegation zone. It's funny in Sept-Oct...it's not funny anymore. I'm sure the Gladbach/Augsburg fans will disagree with me, but the league is better as a whole with Dortmund contention for the title.

Yeah, people seem to talk a lot about their injuries. I could see it as a decent excuse for, say, slipping behind Wolfsburg and Monchengladbach in the table but hardly the utter shipwreck they've become.

They still field a lot of players that 4 of the 5 teams beating up on them would take in a heartbeat.

(I should add that I couldn't be any less sympathetic to the injury excuse being sure that AS Roma has lost just as many starters for as much time this season as Dortmund, if not more.)

It can't be that their depth is that bad.

The whole thing with Dortmund is just odd. . . hard to think a similar recent example that didn't involve a outright fire sale.
