BVB player ratings: Kobel stands tall, Guirassy goes missing | OneFootball

After a poor performance, Borussia Dortmund suffered a late 0–1 defeat against their namesakes from Mönchengladbach. The BVB players in the BVBWLD individual ratings.

Gregor Kobel: Kept Dortmund from falling behind for a long time and often came out on top against Gladbach’s Tabakovic. But in the 88th minute, even the impressive Swiss keeper was beaten. He was not to blame for Dortmund heading home empty-handed. Rating: 2.

Luca Reggiani: Came into the team due to Bensebaini’s absence. Playing for the first time since March, the youngster’s long spell out was noticeable, but he battled his way into the game. With full commitment and perfect timing, he stopped Tabakovic in the box and cleared the danger (19’). Rating: 3.

Waldemar Anton: Put in the effort and also plugged a few gaps. Played Tabakovic onside before the 0–1. Rating: 3.5.

Nico Schlotterbeck: Not as assured as people have come to expect from him. Won only a little more than half of his duels. There was also hardly any sign of his usually strong passing game. Rating: 4.

Julian Ryerson (until the 83rd minute): Came off second best against Scally right from the start. His cross to Inácio (45’) was the full-back’s only involvement in a shot. He was heavily tested defensively and had a few shaky moments. Rating: 4.

Marcel Sabitzer: Did not bring calm to Dortmund’s build-up play. Solid defensively, but overall it was too little. His free kick from a good position in the 76th minute went wide of the goal. Rating: 4.

Jobe Bellingham (until the 76th minute): Bellingham remained anonymous for large stretches and hardly found any rhythm in the game. Tellingly, he lost a headed duel to Engelhardt after a corner, which almost led to a goal against. Only in the second half did his potential flash in isolated moments. Rating: 4.5.

Beier overwhelmed

Maximilian Beier (until the 61st minute): After a strong display against Freiburg as a left wing-back, today was a completely different story. Frequently called into action defensively, but with several shaky moments. Offered little going forward. His game was therefore over after just an hour. Rating: 5.

Julian Brandt (until the 83rd minute): He can do so much on the ball – but only showed it today in rare moments. Nice dribble in the 52nd minute, but his shot missed the target by some distance. Rating: 4.

Samuele Inácio: Committed, but ineffective for long periods. At least he had BVB’s first chance – in first-half stoppage time. Lost the ball before the 0–1. Rating: 4.5.

Serhou Guirassy (until the 76th minute): A poor performance from the striker. Barely involved for long stretches, though he was also let down by his teammates. Just 25 touches in 75 minutes. Rating: 5.5.

Substitutes:

Daniel Svensson (from the 61st minute): Had the lively Honorat well under control. But the Swede did not provide any attacking spark either. Rating: 3.5.

Salih Özcan, Fábio Silva (from the 76th minute), Carney Chukwuemeka, Yan Couto (from the 83rd minute): The quartet is not rated due to limited playing time.
