Borussia Mönchengladbach have responded to their troubled start to the Bundesliga season, with sporting director Rouven Schröder and technical leader Eugen Polanski publicly setting out how the club plans to turn things around. Bild Sport reported the leadership duo's comments.
After two matchdays, Gladbach sit 17th in the Bundesliga on zero points, six points behind leaders FC Augsburg. The club's last outing ended in a 3-4 defeat to SV Elversberg, in which Hugo Bolin scored twice (11', 44') before Maurice Krattenmacher struck a stoppage-time winner for the visitors.
Five-game record tells two stories
Gladbach won three of their last five matches but have now lost their last two in a row, a run that reads LLWWW. With only three goals scored and seven conceded, the attack has been the weakest in the league so far this season.
On 19 September, the Borussia host FSV Mainz 05 at home, a side currently fifth in the table. A look at the injuries list shows just how stretched the squad is, with Daiki Hashioka, Enzo Leopold, Jens Castrop, Nicolas-Gerrit Kühn and Yukhym Konoplya all missing. The full run of upcoming matches can be checked on the fixtures page, while the current league position is laid out on the standings page.
