That wasn't a trademark turnover by Brandt. He received a misplaced pass under pressure and the reason it was misplaced was pressure, too. And the reason we were 3v2 was Demirbay's exceptional pass in the transitional moment.Well my point was that Leverkusen already struggled to create chances outside of punishing Dortmund's mistakes while Demirbay was on the pitch. And the 2:1 is a prime example of that, because it all starts with a trademark unneccesary Julian Brandt turnover and it ends with Leverkusen running 3v2 at Dortmund's CBs.
No need to be defensive, I didn't say it was all luck, but when you have a counter attacking game plan and from your last three matches the first two basically start with own goals and the third features an opponent that plays right into your plan by using a very attacking setup with sloppy execution, then that's not exactly a typical situation. And in terms of attacking output it will be far more interesting to see how the team will do when they have to create space themselves instead of having it offered up to them by their opponents.
I'm usually also a big fan of xG but I think this is one of the cases in which it fails. We create much more chances than we used to under Bosz since the runs are much better orchestrated and more players are active in the attack, especially the fullbacks. Bakker and Frimpong instead of Wendell/Sinkgraven and Bender/Dragovic is a massive change. And especially in transition, the team gives a totally different impression and that has to do with the system we play.
It is still early days so let's wait and see how vulnerable that leaves us in defense but so far we definitely are much more threatening for the opponent's defense.
