6:12 pm
state of the squad they've got a. and you got players like barry and i and robin he you just mentioned the goal scorers today now these guys leaving this summer these 2 players who buy in success has been built around for the last decade and they're going and they don't really have a replacement of the same level of quality and you can look at problems of this kind all over the pitch for buy and then if you look at the coaching situation as well nico i mean he's celebrating the moment drenched in beer is he said bought there's a lot of speculation about his position a lot of news stories coming out the moment that maybe the veyron bosses aren't convinced he's the right man to lead them into the future and you can kind of see where they're coming from because this is by and large most points total in this run of 7 does a good science is that they've had an obviously dormant push them to the last day and by and just can't allow that of course i think that is why this it's taken so long that they've got a lot of this used by at the moment playing stuff on the coach and beyond that the really need to be dealt with this summer don't push into the last day as you said
6:13 pm
but at one point even had a 9 point lead on the champions i mean what exactly happened this really is the title that got away from brasil dormant i mean they stormed through the 1st few months and months of the season they were just steamroller in the opposition basically on a weekly basis. but eventually it caught up with them i think the squad that is not really good enough to challenge on 3 fronts is don't know we're trying to do with the league cup in the champions league and at one point you could say around the time they went out of the champions league to tottenham you could see that they were running out of legs a little bit they just didn't have enough players to sub in it's about i think also the lack of a proper sense of forward has cost them at times. got to go in alone was brilliant for the 1st off of the season he was scoring goals are front and center but he's not a traditional target man is not a consequence of order to venture the goals dried up for him and when they did dortmund didn't really seem to have
