re: Hummels and Weidenfeller try to calm down Ultras after losing to Augsburg

Bees have battled injuries (who hasn't) but there's still so much talent there,

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.
