041 2016/wk43 - A night to remember

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.

028 2016/wk10 - Retirement of Der Stranzler

A mixed bag for the Foals with a 2-2 draw to Augsburg, followed by a convincing 4-0 over VfB Stuttgart before losing to CL-quarter final contender VfL Wolfsburg. Manuel talks you through the games and André Schubert’s change of formation, shifting between a 4-4-2 and 3-4-3. Sadly, centre back Martin Stranzl held a press conference this week to announce his retirement from football at the end of season, an end of an era at Borussia-Park and a personality that’ll be truly missed by everyone. Next opponent is struggling Eintracht Frankfurt, who sacked coach Armin Veh this week to install Nico Kovac, former Croatia-coach.

027 2016/wk08 - Derby Dahoud

After the poor performance at Hamburg (2-3), Borussia turned it around in the derby against Cologne, with Mo Dahoud scoring the much-celebrated winner early in the game. Now the Foals face Augsburg away on the weekend, before VfB Stuttgart, the best team of the Rückrunde, travels to Borussia-Park for some mid-week action on Wednesday. Manuel talks you through the matches against Hamburg and Cologne and previews the upcoming two matches, plus looks at the squad options for these fixtures.
