They have - to use a technical term - imploded.
The added stress of Champions‘ League football seems to have done for them, they are in wretched form, can‘t score for toffee, and at the back they are leaking goals, despite some substantial signings for their defence.
They drop into the bottom two tonight, and there are questions swirling about where they go from here, but as ever, Die Eisernen aren‘t like most clubs, and their Swiss Coach Urs Fischer, who masterminded their rise into the top flight, is still revered in Köpernick, so unless he walks, he has the chance to turn them around.
Fischer really has done a sensational job with them, and got them punching well above their weight, and he deserves the opportunity to sort them out.
I cannot though recall a similar collapse of a top-flight team in recent seasons.
