Dortmund make themselves look stupid … again

Watching Borussia Dortmund is like having your wisdom teeth taken out — it’s not fun. But unlike having your wisdom teeth pulled, you don’t get the pleasure of being knocked out and not remembering a single thing.

Yes, for the second week in a row, Dortmund have absolutely embarrassed themselves. Schalke completely dominated and ran out 4-1 winners in the first Revier Derby of the season. Bordon, Pander, Asamoah and Kuranyi all scored for Schalke, while Nelson Valdez got our only goal. Unbelievable.

We looked stupid from the get-go. Schalke nearly scored just under two minutes into the match but the crossbar saved us from an embarrassing opening. But it didn’t matter. Bordon headed one in on 11 minutes, Pander curled home a free kick 20 minutes later, Asamoah’s header flew past Weidenfeller in the 59th, and Kuranyi scored his 12 minutes from time. Valdez’s goal came in the 66th minute, but it really was too little too late by then.

The result sees us drop to the absolute bottom of the Bundesliga table. We’ve got zero points with two goals for and seven against in two matches played. That’s just completely unacceptable. Dortmund had no heart or desire today and it certainly showed. If we don’t beat Cottbus next Saturday, Doll should seriously consider lining up some job interviews.

This crap has to end.
