because
>schalke

Shit transfers in summer and their ugly style of play has been exposed, so teams were able to easily prepare for matches against >schalke

Also the traditional choking loser mentality that has been surrounding that shit club for decades now.

German teams that aren't Bayern always do that
sometimes they don't even sell anyone, they just collapse next season for some reason

>schalke
also they were utter shit last year, just very efficient with trash competition. this season the league is overall better and Tedesco's hoofball never had a chance of working. also a squad of halfdead chimpers.

Second place last year was pure luck. They had no other competitions so they could concentrate on their anti-football in the league.

immense amount of refball coupled with maghrebs chimping out

more like lack of refball

they lost goretzka and half of their defense over the summer
their defense wasn't great before but that's still bound to fuck a team up

no, teams like frankfurt, dortmund and gladbach get reball in their favor every week while the teams who are already in the lower half of the table like schalke, mainz etc. get fucked over by the refs.
The German league is corrupt and it's all predetermined.

They were like England at the WC, all the supposed top teams shat the bed while they won every game thanks to penalties and corner goals despite being utter shit

Their squad quality is just that bad

b-but we outplayed Tunisia and Sweden la

They had all the luck in the world last season.
And now they have lost it. Bundesliga is a very competitive league, apart from Bayern of course...

the sausage merchant doesnt know what to do anymore. absolutely incompetent hack.

true but what does Hoeneß have to do with this

by being >schalke

German clubs are inconsistent as fuck
They can get destroyed by relegation fodder then beat Bayern the week after

>beat bayern

'no'

See Leverkusen: beat Bayern 3-1 then lost to a second bundes club three days later

Bayern was shit the first half of the season

they were the most overachieving last season and the 2nd most underachieving this season according to xG
I know people hate xG, but it might mean something in this case

well yes, but they beat them in the 2nd half of the season

The Bundesliga would profit massively from two or three additional teams which consistently make it to the top. Instead teams often make it to the top five and then end up in the bottom half of the table the following season.

The fact that the top 5 is open to anyone and no one has a guaranteed spot apart from Bayern is all that's keeping this league alive

That's what made me a /bundes/ customer tbqh.
