The dissatisfaction of the BVB fans could hardly be overheard on Sunday evening. “Rose out!” resounded from the Borussia Dortmund fan block through the Augsburg WWK Arena.

“We are second in the Bundesliga. If we had reached the next round somewhere – Champions League, DFB-Pokal or in the Europa League – maybe we would talk about other things.”
However, the reality in Dortmund looks different.

Dortmund’s title dreams gone
Even if this was only of a theoretical nature with all the sovereignty of FC Bayern.
The declared goal of the season, the renewed Champions League qualification, seems to be ten points ahead of BVB in fifth place – but it shouldn’t be more than eight points behind the German record champions with ten games left pass.
“We have to be more ripped off,” demanded Emre Can at “DAZN” and complained: “I stand here and say the same thing every week, that’s not nice.”
BVB too vulnerable at the back
However, it would be too easy to shift the blame for the black and yellow misery onto Rose alone. Even if he has hardly succeeded in taking his protégés to the next level.
The Borussia squad has revealed too many shortcomings this season. Above all, the defensive, which presented itself error-prone throughout the entire season. With 37 goals conceded in 24 games, they are only in the middle of the league (tenth place). So it’s hardly surprising that goalkeeper Kobel only kept his goal clean four times in the league.

No replacement for Haaland and Co.
On the other side of the field, the Rose team is too dependent on goalscorer Erling Haaland. With the Norwegian, who is said to be leaving the club next summer, BVB scored an average of three goals per game, without Haaland it is only 2.2 goals per game.

Rose: There are rumors about Terzic’s return
As a possible alternative, ex-coach Edin Terzic (currently technical director) is repeatedly mentioned, who brought the DFB Cup to Dortmund as a trainer last season and consequently enjoys an excellent standing with the fans. A change of coach doesn’t seem really likely at the moment.
“Rose can prove something. The question is whether he let himself be blinded and said that he could do it with this squad, because the quality of the squad is not good enough in some positions, you could see that in Augsburg,” said the former Commentator Marcel Reif in the “Bild” podcast “Reif ist live”.

End of the season decisive for Rose’s future
In the final spurt of the season, it is now important for the black and yellow to promote the personnel upheaval as best as possible in order to provide Rose with a quick-witted squad for the coming season. Provided that the former Gladbach coach is still on the bench.
“The question is whether the management trusts him to shape the team into a top team with a new squad. I believe that Borussia’s performance in the coming games will be decisive whether they continue beyond the summer or not.” , suspects frost.
Rose is apparently also aware of this, who emphasized after the draw in Augsburg: “We are now trying to get the most out of the season.”
After all, this could be decisive with regard to his future at the club.
