The *Evening* Bee: More Questions than Answers

Good evening, Fear the Wall.

Apologies for the timing on today’s Bee, I was rather busy yesterday evening and didn’t have a chance to get my writing done. Shame on me.

Dortmund’s tie draw in Freiburg is definitely hanging heavily in the air, with some sour commentary coming out of the dressing room and the club hierarchy. The matches against Bodø/Glimt and Freiburg were ones that Dortmund would have expected to win, and handily. It’s been a sour seven days for BVB.

BVB News

• Gregor Kobel took responsibility for his error that led to Jobe Bellingham’s red card. It was a calamitous pass from Kobel that marred what was otherwise a good performance from Dortmund’s shot stopper. Bellingham will reportedly be suspended two matches for his transgression.
• Julian Ryerson may be on the watchlist of FC Barcelona, who are looking for a cost-effective solution at right-back.
• Mathias Sammer believes Dortmund need to be tougher on Nico Schlotterbeck in negotiations over his contract, and push for a deadline.

Bundesliga News

• Dortmund once again missed an opportunity to make up ground in the table. I already got heated about this the last time it happened, so I’m just not going to do so again. Whatever.
• Some news on Timo Werner and his dwindling time at RB Leipzig. The decline of Werner’s career is truly a disappointment to see for a player who had such promise and made such a mark on the league.
• Apparently Wolfsburg will lose out on German superstar Niklas Füllkrug to…AC MILAN? Really didn’t see this coming. If you had Pulisic, Leao, Füllkrug, Nkunku, Modric, and Rabiot on your bingo card as players together on any team ever in history, my hat is OFF to you.

Should Dortmund have moved to bring Füllkrug back? Should Dortmund bring anyone in? Should Dortmund just close up shop after this season and finally be done with all this mess?

Let me know.
