In unserer 140. Ausgabe heißt Manuel den Ex-Borussen Ibrahima Traore willkommen! "Ibo" nutzt das Gespräch, um die Falschmeldungen und Fehlinterpretationen um die französischsprachige Sport News Africa Podcast-Episode mit ihm und Marcus Thuram zu widerlegen und für Klarheit zu sorgen, wie die Aussagen gemeint waren - hauptsächlich ein Witzeln unter guten Freunden. Der Flügelflitzer läd die Boulevardpresse zu einem klärenden Gespräch ein, gibt einen Treueschwur auf die Borussia ab und lässt gegen Ende zumindest ein Türchen offen, falls der Verein ihn in der Zukunft in einer Funktion als Teamcoach oder -vermittler sehen möchte.  Wir danken Ibo für die Kontaktaufnahme, für das Vertrauen und die offenen und ehrlichen Worte.

Sorry, folks! It's been a while, but Renaissance Man Manuel was working very hard pursuing his many careers and Alexis was away meditating on the remaining terrace of the Bökelberg stadium. Pleasantly surprised to discover Borussia Mönchengladbach (probably the best club in the world) hadn't been relegated to the second division after all, and discarding Alexis' plan to meticulously describe and then categorise every single one of the remaining eight matches in a four-hour special, we decided to attempt a synopsis of last season by describing key moments of the campaign that we think will linger on, changes in personnel included. Furthermore, we look forward to life with a new coach and a "back to the roots" change of course promised by our new manager.

Please, can we stop the season right now? Well, we predicted a "difficult" season in vollraute abroad #081, but this is ridiculous! "Everything falls apart" could be an alternative title to Vollraute abroad #087 (and "From the gut" the soundtrack) as could "50 ways to torture a football fan", or "Explain the inexplicable". We sincerely hope that you, the dedicated listeners, appreciate the superhuman mental strength it took to recapitulate every single match since our win in Munich against Bayern (just thought I'd mention that), each one in its own way an evil, sadistic exercise in crushing all hope and optimism you might have held on to as a fan of still possibly the greatest club in the world. Our legendary goal comes from a different era, when we had a team that Lucien Favre had formed, furbished, adjusted, oiled and tweaked until it was a gleaming, thunderous, unstoppable (except through foul play - curse you, Sevilla!) machine that powered through the Rückrunde on its way to a 3rd place in the league. Max Kruse's goal in the 90th minute of the home match against Wolfsburg on 26th April 2015 (who will be paying us a visit next Saturday) is a fine example of the inexorable football that never failed to bring our opponents to their knees that season, light years away from the current unprofessional and not in the least funny buffoonery that can only serve as a warning to future generations.

VR138 Und gibt es noch! Wir starten ein kleines Comeback an einem Datum, welches schon etwas länger abgesprochen war. Der Themenschwerpunkt sollte ein anderer sein. Auch wir wollen natürlich den Abgang von Max Eberl nochmal einordnen, vielleicht konnten wir es schon etwas sacken lassen? Manuel pitcht seinen Wunschnachfolger und wir sprechen auch noch kurz über den Deadline-Day und den Kader. Was bleibt ist das Ende einer Ära, die in ein paar Jahren in der Rückschau vielleicht einen ähnlichen Stellenwert wie die Ära Grashoff (nur ohne Titel, aber es waren insgesamt auch andere Zeiten) einnehmen werden. Lieber Max, gute Besserung! Gönn Dir und vielleicht bis bald mal!

Can we play you every week?   Happy New Year everyone! Just when we thought we'd have to go into relegation battle mode, grateful for every measly, undeserved point we are gifted, along come Bayern Munich and make us feel good about ourselves again. Thank you, folks, always a pleasure, and we're only too happy to discuss the match in great detail.    Other topics this time: a cursory summary of the three last games of the annus horribilis 2021, developments on the transfer market, financial problems our club could be facing and possibly unpleasant solutions to these, as well as a possible new "core team" for the 2nd half of the season.   Legendary Goal: Patrick Herrmann's second goal against our next opponent Leverkusen in the legendary 6:3 away win on 29th August, 2010, his third of altogether 46 goals in the Bundesliga for the best club in the world in his now 83 years at Borussia Mönchengladbach. Our first away win in Leverkusen in 16 years marked the start of one of those traumatic free falls that Mönchengladbach fans have to cope with every now and again, but that's another story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjrkbGx2wks&t=18s Credit: Intro/Outro-Musik von Nomoredolls, Electric Sheep, http://www.jamendo.com/de/track/275278/electric-sheep Topic-Jingle: Apple/Garageband Borussia,Mönchengladbach,Fanpodcast,2021/22,Bayern,Rueckrunde,Manuel,Alexis

Temporarily (?) out of order   Borussia Moenchengladbach NUUUUULL - Freiburg SECHS ... seven days after cruising to a four nil win against puny Fürth, our current squad lose the prestigious derby against a limited but hard-working Cologne team in the final fifteen minutes after suffering a nervous breakdown and conceding three goals. The weekend after that, they go ahead and ruin Christmas, the whole season and maybe even more with a historical nightmare day at the office wherein they concede six highly avoidable, bordering on slapstick, goals at home in 36 minutes against a worthy but unspectacular opponent.   How could such a talented bunch of young men playing for probably the best club in the world fall apart like that a mere five weeks after destroying Bayern Munich 5:0 (see Vollraute Abroad no. 84)? Was it a freak accident, or rather a bone-chilling harbinger of developments to come? Is there a pattern there? Whose fault is it anyway? Where did it all go wrong?   The circumstances may be beyond our control, but you can count on us (Manuel, Alexis, Kurtz, George Best) to gaze unflinchingly into the abyss and come up with an explanation more elaborate than "the horror, the horror".   Sorry, no legendary goal this podcast. We weren't in the mood Credit: Intro/Outro-Musik von Nomoredolls, Electric Sheep, http://www.jamendo.com/de/track/275278/electric-sheep Topic-Jingle: Apple/Garageband

We are a bit blasé about it in our recording, but we have to admit that Borussia Mönchengladbach, very probably the best club in the world, produced a magnificent performance, a work of art and infinite beauty, a lesson to others that will stand the test of time. Bayern Munich, who have been gallavanting around Europe and Germany recently, spreading shock and awe and refusing to score less than four goals per match in the Bundesliga and Champions League, were thoroughly and comprehensively beaten, thumped, dissected, annhilated, made a laughing stock and sent home crying for Mummy in the second round of the German Cup. We were too fast, too good, too aggressive for them. From now on, they can just send the points to us in an envelope. Joshua Kimmich was on the verge of tears and forgot to whine about unfair treatment; Manuel Neuer was too distraught to claim offside after he was made to look a fool for goal 3 and nutmegged for goal 4; Thomas Müller, for once, lost his jovial demeanour and could only stammer that he had never been so humiliated in his entire career at Bayern. Aaaah, a memory to savour for all eternity, a reason to grin smugly and condescendingly the next time we meet Uli Hoeneß. Oh yes, and we also talk about three Bundesliga matches against mediocre teams that didn't go so well, too. And we preview Friday evening's match against Mainz. The Legendary Goal is also a work of art, a thunderbolt that woke us from ten years of rubbish football, that still brings tears of joy to every Moenchengladbach supporter: Marco Reus' first Bundesliga goal for the Masters of the (Football) Universe, against Mainz on 28th August 2009, an epic solo, the first of many until he succumbed to the Dark Side and joined the Forces of Evil. Credit: Intro/Outro-Musik von Nomoredolls, Electric Sheep, http://www.jamendo.com/de/track/275278/electric-sheep Topic-Jingle: Apple/Garageband

Marco who? So ... we thought we would be reduced to feeble attempts at scorning Marco Whatshisname for ... what was it we were angry about again? We were prepared to spit venom and spew bile after three depressing performances and subsequent humiliating defeats. We had been planning to do our own version of the BBC's "Just a minute" for all three of the last matches, except without the humour or wit. But instead, we offer you a fun-packed and fantastically entertaining podcast filled with razor-sharp analysis, breathtaking insights and lots of "I told you so"'s, with sprinkles of "as I said a couple of weeks ago", as we delve into the matches that brought victories against two German Champions League contenders: The Forces Of Evil (a.k.a. Borussia Dortmund) and the Bundesliga's hardest, most physically intimidating and unfairest team (not club), Wolfsburg. (There might have been another match since we last recorded, but we don't remember the result, and we doubt our team even turned up.) It seems as if Adi Hütter has found the magic formula to make everything click into place. Join us to find out what he did right. The Legendary Goal comes from Václav Svěrkoš, another of our frustrating, underperforming strikers, who had occasional moments of glory (in this case in the third round of the German Cup in 2003 against VfB Stuttgart) for which we still love him to death: "Svěrkoooooooooš!!!". Credit: Intro/Outro-Musik von Nomoredolls, Electric Sheep, http://www.jamendo.com/de/track/275278/electric-sheep Topic-Jingle: Apple/Garageband

And the difference is a win at home! 90 short minutes (plus injury time) and those moments of bliss, those thrilling Denis Zakaria runs, brought us our first win of the season. As Dinah Washington would undoubtedly agree, there's nothing better than three points in the league, and we definitely prefer a win against relegation-battling Bielefeld to an epic draw against the serial Bundesliga champions. In our view, this warrants a euphoric, over-the-top 3-hour-special, but we have painstakingly edited the podcast down to our standard smoothly and professionally executed 30 minutes. Forget the peevishness and ill-humour of our last podcast and join us to celebrate (I'll say it again) Denis Zakaria, as well as superhero Capitano Lars Stindl. Honourable mentions are made of some of our talented young new team members who gave it their all. Brows are furrowed as we wonder why Fabian Neuhaus can't stop playing those kamikaze passes. It's Alexis' turn to recount what it was like to be in the half-full Nordpark stadium. (Spoiler: It was fantastic!) Oh yes, there's a quick preview of our next match, away to Augsburg (groan!), a team not unlike (shudder!) Union Berlin. "Legendary goals" tries to settle the delicate nerves of Borussia Mönchengladbach fans by featuring Lars Stindl's goal against Augsburg in 2015. (Lars must be thrilled to bits that he is second only to Juan Arango in the Legendary Goals hitparade!)

Boo! Nothing compares to that sinking feeling you get when you realize on match day three that your team are going to have ANOTHER "difficult" season, just like the last one. The same players as last year (and the year before that) seem to be committed to making the same mistakes again and again and again (individually and collectively), despite having a brand new, hitherto successful and highly regarded new coach to work with. (Wait a moment, that sounds familiar somehow.) This time around, the nightmarish afternoon in Leverkusen and the dismal display in Berlin make the memory of the epic performance against Bayern Munich fade into insignificance. In a valiant effort to keep you entertained, informed and addicted to our podcast, we struggle to come up with new thoughts or at least words to talk about the chronic "Mönchengladbach disease". Find out if we succeed. Other topics: how it felt to be in the Nordpark stadium again (against Bayern Munich), developments on the transfer market, and the upcoming match against Bielefeld. This time around, the legendary goal was scored in Bielefeld and the ball defied the laws of physics but not because the scorer commanded it to (so for once it can`t be by Juan Arango). No, it is in fact our star striker of 1997, Andrzey Juskowiak, who somehow manages to bundle the ball into goal twice. Witness the slapstick and hear about the amazing facts and statistics behind our first away win of that season. And enjoy the streaker. (You don't see that on television anymore!) Credit: Intro/Outro-Musik von Nomoredolls, Electric Sheep, http://www.jamendo.com/de/track/275278/electric-sheep Topic-Jingle: Apple/Garageband

Begin the season! Hooray! Nothing can beat the adrenalin rush that comes with the start of a new season (no matter what went on the season before). Especially when your team begins the beguine with a win in the domestic cup. We discuss the hard-fought 1:0 at the Betzenberg, no mean feat when taking into account its infamous atmosphere, its braying fans and Kaiserslautern's traditional "robust" style of play. Other topics: what our boys did in their summer holidays (at Euro 2020, that is), new team members and possible developments on the transfer market, the first match of the season on Friday against Bayern Munich (a must-win, of course). We also go off on a few tangents and dwell on "failed players" and first matches of the season against Bayern Munich. This time around, the legendary goal was scored in Kaiserslautern and the ball defied the laws of physics (so it can only be by Juan Arango). In keeping with the wistfulness in the lyrics of the Cole Porter classic, we share our bitter-sweet memories of the match. "Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play."

The ups and downs of the three games against Frankfurt, Hoffenheim and Bielefeld in late April left us feeling emotionally exhausted and in need of a wee break. Are we actually quite glad the season is almost over, and are we looking forward to the summer break? Of course not! Our team's mystifying return to and loss of and return to form within eight days is a main topic, as is the upcoming match against Bayern Munich, the exciting prospect of qualifying for the brand-new European League Conference and travelling to exotic locations next season, and the fear of losing one or more of our "football gods" at the end of the season. One of these football gods provides this podcast's Legendary Goal in a match where we bossed Bayern Munich about in their own stadium, as we seem to have formed a habit of doing every second year. The Jesus and Mary Chain, apparently, are not interested in football but the lyrics to one of their many Golden Oldies remind you of how it feels to be a fan of probably the best club in the world.

Finally: the turn-around! Manuel and Alexis muse on how sheer luck and good passing football so suddenly und unexpectedly returned in the match against Freiburg. Then: an emotional debate about controversial refereeing decisions and the heroic, epic battle of 10 good men in Berlin. And of course your absolutely impartial experts on all things Borussia Mönchengladbach provide you with all you need to know about Adi Hütter, presently coach of sensationally in-form Eintracht Frankfurt, and soon-to-be coach of the best club in the world. For legendary goals, we, yet again, couldn't resist Juan Arango, this time with a mind-melting 35-yard rollercoaster strike against Frankfurt in 2012.

Manuel and Alexis analyse Borussia Mönchengladbach's performances in the month of March, a true mensis horribilis. Does the win against Schalke 04 mean light at the end of the tunnel? Can Marco Rose go on? There has definitely been a shift in opinion regarding our future ex-manager succumbing to the Forces of Evil. In our Legendary Goals section, a tribute to one of Borussia's greats, Lothar Matthäus, a player who always gave everything for his team and recently celebrated his 60th birthday. For this podcast's title, it's back to literature for the quote. "I can't go on, I'll go on." Samuel Beckett, The Unnamable 1984 Elfer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_CS0l3bbuc Credit: Intro/Outro-Musik von Nomoredolls, Electric Sheep, http://www.jamendo.com/de/track/275278/electric-sheep Topic-Jingle: Apple/Garageband

1-2 v Mainz, 0-2 v City and 2-3 v Leipzig - Manuel and Alexis try to make sense of the downward spiral that set off (or accelerated) after Rose's announced departure in the Summer: attacking football is dead and the team is still conceding goals. In the centre of attention: the coach. Manuel also goes on a rant about tactical v individual coaching and why Rose is therefore to blame for the meek performances while Alexis quotes the Japanese emperor's radio address to his people at the end of WWII... Our legendary goal of the week come from mullet-sporting extraordinaire Frank Schulz, 1991 vs Bayer during an emphatic 5-2 away victory.

Well, it happened. Marco Rose decided to move to Borussia Dortmund after the season. Much rumors went around social media about whether to sack him right from the spot now, about reactions from the team aso until finally Max Eberl put his foot down on Wednesday in a remarkable press conference. Eberl is da boss! Hands down! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kcOMbxCfrQ Legendary goals today are coming from Branimir Hrgota (don't forget about him!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgDtpWqyZmo Credit: Intro/Outro-Musik von Nomoredolls, Electric Sheep, http://www.jamendo.com/de/track/275278/electric-sheep Topic-Jingle: Apple/Garageband

A very bad mood is wavering through Moenchengladbach and its fanszene. Manuel and Alexis try to analyze what happened in the derby against Cologne and about what's lying ahead in Wolfsburg who play a strong season so far. In our sections of legendary goals we take a look back how Marco Reus and the whole team of Borussia dismantled Wolfsburg in past times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDIBgLc9Lm4 Credit: Intro/Outro-Musik von Nomoredolls, Electric Sheep, http://www.jamendo.com/de/track/275278/electric-sheep Topic-Jingle: Apple/Garageband

Showdown in the Championsleague in Mailand on the horizon. But before that the foals face their away ANGSTGEGNER in Freiburg. Break the curse! We didn't find the exact legendary goal by Arie van Lent, however, instead we found a best-of video about our legendary striker.

What can we say. Up and down against Mainz with the good result on our side, whereas the draw against Real feels like loss, doesn't it? Manuel and Alexis discuss the past week. And here are the links to this week's legendary goals: Madrid, Rahn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcJhbhtmmng Leipzig 2-2, Plea 1-0: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cw0jJNxVgYA&t=48s Credit: Intro/Outro-Musik von Nomoredolls, Electric Sheep, http://www.jamendo.com/de/track/275278/electric-sheep Topic-Jingle: Apple/Garageband

It's been more than a year, since Manuel produced a vollraute abroad episode. But, guess who's back? And we're going to sightly change the concept. Whenever possible Manuel invites his new co-host Alexis, who lives in Cologne but is a season-ticket holder in Borussia-Park. Please give him a warm welcome :-) For a start the two talk you thru a little wrap-up of the off-season and give an outlook to what lies ahead. We hope you like it.

A very quick and dirty wrap up of the recent news about Dieter Hecking leaving Borussia as a headcoach by the end of the season. Credit: Intro/Outro-Musik von Nomoredolls, Electric Sheep, http://www.jamendo.com/de/track/275278/electric-sheep Topic-Jingle: Apple/Garageband Thanks to Ibo Traoré :-)

The Bundesliga is back and Gladbach is being tested straight away by Bayer Leverkusen and Schalke 04 in away games, whereas Augsburg will visit the third-place Foals in between to collect points from Dieter Hecking's side to avoid relegation. Manuel talks you through these match-ups, but only after he's revisited the very successful Hinrunde for Borussia and the talking points of the winter break. Credit: Intro/Outro-Musik von Nomoredolls, Electric Sheep, http://www.jamendo.com/de/track/275278/electric-sheep Topic-Jingle: Apple/Garageband Thanks to Ibo Traoré :-)

Manuel briefly discusses the 4-1 victory over Hannover 96 and the 0-2 defeat to RB Leipzig before focussing on the current midfield constellation in the team. Why is the - still undefeated - axis Hofmann-Strobl-Neuhaus preferred to the likes of Zakaria and Kramer? Furthermore, will the Foals see a slump in form after Matthias Ginter's head injury, which will see him out for two months at minimum? Credit: Intro/Outro-Musik von Nomoredolls, Electric Sheep, http://www.jamendo.com/de/track/275278/electric-sheep Topic-Jingle: Apple/Garageband Thanks to Ibo Traoré :-)

Gladbach remains no.2 in German football after a convincing 3-1 victory over Werder Bremen, with top transfer Alassane Plea netting three goals at the Weser. Previously, Gladbach had beaten Mainz (4-0) and Duesseldorf (3-0) at home, and lost to Freiburg (1-3) and, on a dark night at Borussia-Park, 0-5 to Rhine rivals Bayer Leverkusen. Manuel talks you through these matches and gives a brief outlook on the next match vs. Hannover 96 after the international matches break.

Vollraute abroad takes a look at Gladbach's performances up to the second break for the national squad fixtures: the last of several convincing performances saw the Foals take all three points from Bayern Munich (3-0) at the Allianz-Arena - the highest defeat for Bayern at home since 2005 and the first away win for Borussia since February! Manuel highlights the outstanding players of recent weeks and how the 4-3-3 system have changed things for better for coach Dieter Hecking. On third place, Gladbach will host Mainz at home after the international break to take a sweep at leaders Borussia Dortmund.

Good start to the 18/19 season for Gladbach with an emphatic 11-1 win in the Cup competition against Hastedt and an eventually convincing home victory on Matchday 1, 2-0 to highly rated Bayer Levekusen. The Foals then travelled to Augsburg where 23€M signing Allasane Plea bagged a goal to get the team a 1-1 draw. Manuel talks you through these games and takes a look at both the new signings and the new 4-3-3, and how the squad adapts to this new formation.

Long time no hear! Sorry for that, we've been very busy last weeks and months, however, it's never too late to talk you through the wrap-up of the last season. Although, a little distance to the season finale might be an advantage. Let's see, Manuel talks you through the season finale, looks on the performance of the squad and tries an outlook to the upcoming transfer window. Thanks for your patience and your support during the past and hopefully you tune in again when your all news Borussia Mönchengladbach podcast returns after the WC.

Borussia on sixth position after matchday ten in the Bundesliga, last sixteen in the DFB cup. But it has been a continuation of the ups and downs we've seen at the beginning of the season - great win in Hoffenheim, biggest defeat at Borussia-Park history against Leverkusen (1-5). Manuel summarizes the six games and discusses the take home messages from these past couple of weeks.

Four matchdays into the season and Borussia M'gladbach is ranked one place lower than in the 16/17 season on tenth position. A strong comeback from two Leipzig leads to get a point from the 2-2 draw to RB was preceded by a weak performance and a loss to Franfurt at home and a late equalizer in Augsburg against the Foals (2-2). Still, the 2-1 cup win against Essen and the convincing 1-0 in the derby against struggling Cologne are positives of the first five weeks of the season, which undoubtedly have seen Borussia being ‘on' and ‘off' in terms of performance. Manuel rounds up these first games and highlights the talking points regarding squad, injured players and individual performances.

Two wins, a draw and two defeats - a pretty average April sees Gladbach on tenth position in the League. But with four games to go, the Europa League is still only a couple of points away. Still, the debut of Laszlo Benes and the derby-win over Cologne were highlights. Manuel talks you through the matches and provides an overview over the team's current status.

After several great wins, the Foals train came to a stand-still, losing 1-2 to Hamburg and 0-1 at home to top-of-the-league Bayern Munich. In between more disappointment, as Borussia crashed out of the Europa League against Schalke. A 2-2 draw at home saw Gladbach being eliminated on away goals after the 1-1 at Schalke. A tough Saturday night ‘Spitzenspiel' lies now ahead of the team of Dieter Hecking. Manuel talks you through the matches.

Borussia is climbing up the League table, with another three victories against Werder, Ingolstadt and Schalke, only losing narrowly to RB Leipzig. In the Cup competitions it has been equally successful, with Lars Stindl giving the club a magic European night after a comeback against Fiorentina. The Foals were 0-3 down on aggregate, only to score four goals in 16 minutes and a Stindl-hattrick. To round up a great month, Hamburg has been beaten 2-1 in the DFB-Cup quarter-finals. Borussia now faces Frankfurt at home in the semi-final of the competition. Manuel talks you through the games and gives a quick assessment of the key points to manager Dieter Hecking's success.

Two more victories in the bag for Dieter Hecking as the Foals beat Freiburg 3-0 in the Bundesliga only to advance to the quarter-finals of the DFB-Pokal with a 2-0 win over Greuther Fürth. The next round will be played at Hamburg on March 1st, but before that it's Werder Bremen away, AC Fiorentina in the Europa League and a cracking home match on Sunday against RB Leipzig. Manuel talks you through both games.

The Bundesliga is back, with Borussia Mönchengladbach on the road to face Darmstadt and Leverkusen in their stadiums. A big task for the new manager Dieter Hecking, as the Foals have been very poor travellers in 2016. A rather slow-paced 0-0 draw to bottom side Darmstadt was followed by a thrilling 3-2 victory over Champions League side Bayer 04. Borussia had even been down 0-2 at half-time, but Lars Stindl (x2) and Raffael turned it around for Gladbach, who now start to look like the team we all admired in the past five seasons. Manuel is your host and talks you through the matches and the first weeks with Hecking in charge.

Managerial change at the end of 2016 at Borussia Mönchengladbach: André Schubert, having only picked up 16 points in 16 matches with the Foals in the League, is replaced by Dieter Hecking. Two defeats by Augsburg and Wolfsburg meant the end for Schuberts stint after 62 matches with Borussia, helping them reach the Champions League and fourth Place in the League in Sommer. Manuel takes a quick look at the matches and talks about the change in personnel at Borussia-Park. We wish all our listeners happy holidays and an exciting new year 2017!

Borussias woes continue in the League, a 1-2 defeat in the Derby with Cologne was followed by a 1-1 draw against Hoffenheim, seeing the Foals adrift in the League on 13th position without a win in seven matches. However, the CL proved more successful, as Manchester City was held to a 1-1 draw at Borussia-Park, which means Gladbach will finish third in the group, qualifying for the Europa League knock-out stages next year. Manuel talks you through the matches.

Five matches without a goal in the Bundesliga, Borussia find itself on 11th position in the League. Manuel is joined by Conor (@conorgarratt) and Sultan (@WMformation) to discuss the current situation many deem a crisis, and discuss the formation, injuries, squad strength and coach André Schubert's decision making.

The ups and downs continue with Borussia Mönchengladbach, a frustrating 0-0 draw against ten-men Hamburg, missing two (!) penalties, was followed by a fantastic away performance in the Champions League. André Schubert's side silenced Celtic-Park with two second half goals - a night to remember for the Gladbach crowd in Glasgow. Back in the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich proved too big for Borussia, leaving no doubt that their spell of four games without victory against the Foals would end this time. The 2-0 for Bayern was even flattering for an absent Borussia, leaving the club stalled on tenth position in the League. Manuel talks you through the week and previews the next four matches quickly, as Borussia now has another CL-match against Celtic, the second round in the German cup and two Bundesliga Friday night meets with Frankfurt and high-flying Hertha Berlin.
