The table doesn’t show it but the scoreboard summed it up today - Borussia Dortmund have problems. A thread with a few thoughts on what’s gone / going wrong (disclaimer - not everything…I think) I don’t think today’s result really comes down to Marco Rose or the players. Because it’s always been the coach or the players for some time at BVB. And when that’s the case, you have to look up to CEO Aki Watzke + outgoing sporting director Michael Zorc

This is…so great. A lot going on.

Köln coach Steffen Baumgart was COVID positive this week. Had to stay at home to watch the Freiburg game.

Footage from his daughter shows he’s lively on the touchline **and** in front of his TV. 🤣 (HT @GEISSBLOG_KOELN) Favourite moment? The way Steffen Baumgart’s dog provides emotional support whilst he’s shouting at his TV.

Spoke on ESPN to Julian Nagelsmann about his jacket. I said there was a lot of chatter about it. “Really?” He smiled.
“Adidas sent that to me yesterday + asked if I could wear it today. I said maybe it’s a bit too cold but I’m moving that quick in the coaching zone, so…” 1/2 “…in the end it was warm enough. I’m happy if some fans in front of the television say it’s a nice jacket.”

The end. 😇

At Bayern-RB Leipzig today for @ESPNPlus. Quick flick through the local papers, starring soundman Max 🤩 Bayern go with the same XI that hammered Hertha. No spot for Dayot Upamecano against his former club after his mistake last time out. Full power front line up top 😳

Last week I was part of the @FulhamSuppTrust monthly meeting with @FulhamFC. Plenty discussed [fulhamsupporterstrust.com/news/2018/10/1…] but more than a little worried by the club’s stance on ticket pricing. IMO it’s a priority issue at any club – as a fan what is more important than actually being able to watch the game for an affordable price?
