026 2016/wk06 - A tasty victory

Borussia ended the goalless draught on Friday nights with a tasty 5-1 victory over Werder Bremen, who had eliminated the Foals from the DFB-Cup at Borussia-Park just seven weeks ago. The return of Mo Dahoud in midfield certainly helped the attacking play, but it was defender Andreas Christensen who bagged a brace against Werder, his first two goals for Gladbach. This Sunday, Borussia travels to HSV, where André Schubert’s team has only lost one in their last six matches. Manuel reviews and previews the matches.

025 2016/wk05 - Another friday night match

After now two defeats – a strange deja-vu is settling in – the Foals now face Werder Bremen in another Friday night Bundesliga clash at Borussia-Park. Both the match in Bremen as well as the DFB-Cup tie in December went the way of Viktor Skripnik’s squad, while Borussia hasn’t scored in any Friday night match since 2013. Given the poor skills in front of goal in Mainz, André Schubert will have to make sure Borussia is finding their way back into the competition to secure the first points in 2016! Manuel takes you through the Mainz game, the transfer deadline activities and the upcoming Werder-match.

024 2016/wk04 - No luck for the foals

No luck for the foals as Dortmund beat Gladbach for the second time this season, after the 4-0 on the first matchday now a convincing 3-1 for Thomas Tuchel’s side. Still, Borussia remains on 4th place, securing Champions-League play-offs. This week André Schubert’s team is travelling to Mainz for the Friday night game at Coface Arena, where the Foals are unbeaten in four matches. Manuel takes you through the Dortmund game and previews the upcoming Mainz-fixture.

023 2016/wk03 - Borussia v Borussia

Borussia v Borussia it is for the start of the second part of the season after the winter break, and Manuel had been invited to the @yellowwallpod to talk about the two new signings Borussia has made, the tactical changes André Schubert has brought to the squad and the season so far for Gladbach’s players

Thanks to Stefan from Yellow Wall Pod (http://www.tyw.bundesligalounge.com, @yellowwallpod) for having us and setting things up ;-)

022 2015/wk52 - Winners and Losers

Two more goal-festivals at Borussia-Park at the end of the Hinrunde. First, André Schubert’s squad was eliminated from the DFB-Cup by losing 3-4 to Werder Bremen, who capitalised on a poor second half defensive performance by the Foals. End-to-end-action continued against Darmstadt 98, which took the lead against Gladbach and looked like winners after the Red card for Granit Xhaka, but Borussia impressively bounced back with ten men, and Swedish international Oscar Wendt turned the stadium on its head when he scored a late 3-2-winner for the Foals. Manuel runs you through these matches and proposes three winners and losers of the first half of the season for Borussia Mönchengladbach at the end. Thanks for listening to Vollraute Abroad, merry Xmas and happy holidays!

021 2015/wk51 - Ups and downs

A week with lots of ups and downs: First, Gladbach defeated Bayern Munich in a true Bundesliga upset 3-1, the first loss for Bayern of the entire season, when a few days later a 2-1 lead to Manchester City was converted into a 2-4 loss within six minutes, as the Blues sealed Borussia’s exit from European football for the season. On the back of Champions-League elimination, Bayer Leverkusen then shocked André Schuberts side, beating the Foals 5-0 in what was in turn the fist defeat for Schubert as Gladbach coach in the Bundesliga.

020 2015/wk49 - Still Unbeaten

Still unbeaten in the Bundesliga under now-headcoach André Schubert and a convincing 4-2 against Sevilla in the Champions League, keeping Borussia
in the race for 3rd place in the group to qualify for the Europa League. A hard-fought 2-1 victory over Hannover 96 was followed by a 3-3 thriller at Hoffenheim, where goals from Josip Drmic and Fabian Johnson brought Gladbach back from being 1-3 down. Manuel talks you through the matches, before previewing the upcoming classic against Champions Bayern Munich at Borussia-Park and the last CL-group stage match away to Manchester City.

019 2015/wk45 - Winning Streak Ends

The winning streak under André Schubert had come to an end, after the convincing 4-1 away victory at Hertha BSC Berlin the Foals drew to promoted
FC Ingolstadt at Borussia-Park 0-0. Still, good times at the club, back on sixth in the League and an impressive performance in the Champions League
against Juventus (1-1), which eliminates Borussia from the competition, unfortunately, but the race for 3rd spot which secures survival in the Europa League
is still wide open. In the German DFB-Cup, Borussia advanced to the round of last 16 with a 2-0 win at Schalke 04! Manuel talks you through all four encounters.
Thanks for listening and spread the word!

018 2015/wk44 - Good Luck Andre

Another successful week for the Foals, as Eintracht Frankfurt was comprehensibly dealt with on their own ground (5-1), before Gladbach secured their first ever Champions League point by goalless drawing to Juventus at Turin! This was followed by a 3-1 win over Schalke, with an outstanding performance by right back Julian Korb, scoring his first ever goal for Borussia. Sadly, Andre Hahn was badly injured and has to be ruled out for months to come. Manuel guides you through the matches.
