German Bundesliga 2013/2014

Mourinho's winning aura is fading, he didn't have his best days at Madrid and now in Chelsea it's not the best start. On the other hand Bayern has 1 defeat only and his already 3 points behind Dortmund, impressive start for them, 5 games - 5 wins!

That is true that Mourinho didn't have his best days at Real Madrid but maybe he needs to think of new ideas to restore that aura he had. I do think results will come his way once new signings start gelling properly but Dortmund are doing very well in their league, I expected Bayern to be first but it looks like to be a close race between those two.

 

[caparica007]

Bayern is already ahead after 8 games, but 1 point only over Dortmund and Leverkusen, I think this year it will be close, I am not sure who is favorite right now.

 

[Oakster]

I don't think it will be that close, Bayern has a great team and whoever stands out in the other teams, Bayern just poaches them.

 

[caparica007]

Yes, but I don't think Guardiola is a plus for Bayern, I think he will pull them down, but possibly time will prove me wrong.

The way Bayern are so strong, you could put any manager in there and they would still win the treble *sarcasm*

But it appears Pep is making a strong mark on Bayern even though it's tight with Leverkesen and Dortmund at the moment, but guess time will tell if they adapt to his methods and whether he is a plus for Bayern.

Guardiola proved himself in Barcelona and it would be hard to destroy last year's Bayern. He is smart, maybe he can pull it of, besides Dortmund I don't know who can give them a fight.

 

[Denis Hard]

It used to be about four teams going at it for the Bundesliga title. Now it's more like two and pretty much like the Spanish La Liga. But maybe being overconfident will work to Bayern's detriment so let's not count their chicks for them this early. . .

They may have 'stolen' Gotze but it's not the end for Dortmund.

Klopp is doing an amazing job in Dortmund, they have been losing players in the last years and they still have a top team and a contender to the title, so I think they stronger player is... Klopp.

 

[AshleyHughes]

Dortmond have done well in their ability to keep going despite losing their good players in recent seasons and they deserve great credit in doing that, Klopp in particular has done very well in his job.

 

[Oakster]

Every time Dortmund loses a key player I think "that's it, they are going to start slipping now" but they somehow keep going and find solutions to keep strong, it's great to see.

 

[Denis Hard]

Arsenal had the same problem. They kept selling all their good players [but managed to make it the CL anyway]. The deceptive notion that they were doing great even after selling off their best players saw the team weaken significantly and right now they're struggling to reassert themselves as a dominant force in European football.

If Dortmund's trend [of selling their good players continues] then pretty soon they'll start their descent into oblivion. . .
