Dortmund had no excuses after Bodø/Glimt, and Nico Kovac had no answers. 😬

Nico Kovac and Waldemar Anton both blamed intensity rather than the artificial pitch. So why did Dortmund look so flat until the 60th-minute substitutions? We break down Kovac's tactical gamble: the inverted wing-backs, the crowded flanks, the rotated line-up after the Bremen draw, and why Felix Nmecha and Julian Ryerson changed the game off the bench.

In this video: • Why Dortmund blamed themselves, not the conditions • Kovac's 3-4-3 with inverted wing-backs (Beier left, Svensson right) and why it didn't work • The four changes at 60 minutes and the late push for an equaliser • Why Bodø/Glimt is such a hard place for visiting teams • Which players are struggling: Beier, Bellingham, Wiemann and more • What the awkward Champions League away trips mean for Dortmund's season • A tough Bundesliga trip to Union Berlin ahead
