The longest week starts now for Borussia Mönchengladbach
Beaten 0‑2 by Köln in the one fixture that is never just a fixture. Work, school, the corner shop — there will be no getting away from this one.

The wait goes on for Borussia Mönchengladbach
6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Franck Honorat in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Borussia Mönchengladbach this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Jan Olschowsky has improved at 24, which nobody expected

Everybody has an opinion about Tim Kleindienst
He is the name in every column and on every phone-in, which is a heavy thing to carry at any age. Some footballers thrive on it; others are quietly finished by it.

Sota Kitano runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 13. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Tim Kleindienst could not find anything
5.05. Every footballer has these and most of them happen away from a full ground; his did not, and he will be aware of that all week.
