Dortmund had no excuses after Bodø/Glimt, and Nico Kovac had no answers. 😬

Nico Kovac and Waldemar Anton both blamed intensity rather than the artificial pitch. So why did Dortmund look so flat until the 60th-minute substitutions? We break down Kovac's tactical gamble: the inverted wing-backs, the crowded flanks, the rotated line-up after the Bremen draw, and why Felix Nmecha and Julian Ryerson changed the game off the bench.

In this video:
• Why Dortmund blamed themselves, not the conditions
• Kovac's 3-4-3 with inverted wing-backs (Beier left, Svensson right) and why it didn't work
• The four changes at 60 minutes and the late push for an equaliser
• Why Bodø/Glimt is such a hard place for visiting teams
• Which players are struggling: Beier, Bellingham, Wiemann and more
• What the awkward Champions League away trips mean for Dortmund's season
• A tough Bundesliga trip to Union Berlin ahead

Bayern’s 3–3 draw with Viking wasn’t just about dropped points. It exposed a bigger question: what’s missing in the middle of the pitch? Viking disrupted Bayern’s rhythm, forced them wide, and made it difficult to create chances. Is this a World Cup hangover—or a squad-building issue? No need to panic yet, but it’s a warning sign ahead of the Arsenal game. What do you think Bayern need most?
