What an amazing start from Borussia Dortmund into second half of the season. They totally outplayed Werder Bremen in their stadium and won absolutely deserved 5-0. It was more as great to watch how the offensive machine from BvB worked above all Reus, Götze and Lewandowski had a lot of fun and were so hungry to play football. They created a lot of excellent actions and their opponents had never a chance to catch them anyway. After the match coach Klopp and his team were very pleased about their performance and they can count on this in the upcoming matches. After an average first half it would be surely a boost to start like this but I have also to mention that Werder Bremen played like they do in every match. They are more focused on offensive as on defensive and therefore many mistakes were in their play and also they are more as open in defensive and this was the key. Dortmund’s players like if they have much space as they are almost unstoppable then. It would be very interesting if they play teams who are more focused on defensive and stands more deep as Bremen did. If this should be the case, of course, it would be not such easy to overcome the opponent as they did against Bremen. In the future there are more matches like this, I am absolutely sure. Therefore they can show that they are able to crack such teams and go their way as their target is to overcome Leverkusen and get at least 2nd place. Coach Klopp maybe has a bit more options for this encounter as with Bender returns the fighter and Kuba who was on bench against Bremen because of slight injury should be at 100% now and if he starts Reus has to move and Großkreutz must back on bench then. Not available is defender Subotic but he will be replaced by Santana.
It was all about the debut from new man on the line Wiesinger and he wants to start well. Sure it was more an average start till bad but in the end at least a point against a team from Hamburg who was not much better and maybe the draw was deserved but if we take a look at the big chances from Hamburg is was more as lucky as Hamburg hit the post twice and also missed some others. First half was very bad from both and in second half it was a little bit better but overall as I said. Hamburg take the lead and awaken Nürnberg from their winter break, after it Nürnberg pushed a lot and get rewarded five minutes later and equalized but the last 15 minutes was Hamburg much closer to win as Nürnberg. Some were surprised about the lineup from new coach Wiesinger as he let important midfielder Kiyotake on bench and also on central back he had to make some changes as Nilsson was ill. Also Feulner was not available and upfront he counts on Pekhardt who scored instead of Polter. Overall the start was ok but they have a big match ahead and it would be interesting how long they can hold the pressure away as Dortmund is of course a much better side as Hamburg was above all their class speaks for its own. First thing would be defending like hell and maybe looking forward to hurt Dortmund over the wings as with Mak and Esswein they have some fast weapons for counter. But it is not sure if Esswein is in starting lineup again after his weak performance. But you never know since Wiesinger is on the line. Also possible is that Kiyotake and Feulner are back in starting eleven but it is almost all top secret so far.
Overall Dortmund should be favorite in this one above all they play at home and they want continue their winning streak after their easy win in Bremen and on the other side Nürnberg wants to hurt BvB, but are they able? They play more compact and stands more deep as Bremen for sure, maybe if Dortmund can not take the lead fast it would be more a puzzle. Important would be that they can control Reus and Götze, if they can do this, Dortmund gets some trouble. Let's see what happen.
