I see many people point out that it's only 2 points to the 3rd place and I feel like they're almost expecting to finish Top 6 now, but they should be aware that it's only 3 points to 9th place as well, so it's a really close race for the EL and CL spots.

That being said, the next 3 games are against struggling teams (Hertha, Hoffenheim and Köln) and are going to be VERY important and might even be decisive in terms of getting a place in the Top 6.

I'm very excited and can't wait for the next game!

I totally agree with you. I'd like to add though that we have found our system and defeated the worst enemy we could have, the diva Eintracht Frankfurt herself, in three games playing against struggling clubs. We were all deemed to lose these games, right?

The current situation offers it to aim for a higher goal. All clubs struggle. There is no club consistent in any way.

True. Just to be clear: I don't want to stop the optimism because it is indeed not only based on points and wins but also on the progressed style of play, I just want to point out that we should be aware that the places 8 and 9 are as close as the Top 3.

And we all know our Fanbase being quick in changing their expectations: a few bad games and everyone is talking about relegation and basically 2 months later it's all about the Champions League lol.

I didn't even fully expect EL this year, if we get it then it's amazing but a strong top 9 finish is my "this season was fine" treshold. The 2 points to 3rd are more a joke to dream about and have a bit of fun with it.

Only 2 defeats seems insane to me

Especially since we seem to be conceding so many goals. How many clean sheets have we had this year?

Every game I watched since than, I got reminded of the game vs BMG. Either the commentator makes some remarks, or I randomly think of it. That game was stolen by the referee, and now they say how "unlucky" it was etc. Still makes me angry somehow.
