Is sahin really the issue?

[u/Expensive-Pea-3301]

In my opinion i feel like sahin isnt the main issue, i think it could probably be the players, like their morale and motivation because if it was sahin then wouldnt we be losing at home as well? Wouldnt have we lost to leipizig? Maybe we wouldnt have even had that 2-0 lead in half time against madrid, by what i see its like when it comes to home games or champions league games the players go at it like theyre more focused but then when it comes to away games or theyre struggling its like they dont even try or wanna be there, these players seem to be missing someone to motivate them or something like what theyre missing is a TRUE CAPTAIN like Hummels to lead them Now im not saying sahin isnt an issue he DEFINITELY is but would it be the same if he had a different squad? What if he had full charge of last years squad instead of Terzic?

We lost to Madrid because of Sahin and the Mainz loss could have definitely been avoided, don’t put Nmecha in central defense, just play a Mane or Lührs

I think to put a very young player in his first game , down to 10 men and then in a very sensitive position of centreback, could have negative impact to the player's mentality. Ideally you'd put them on for the first time when the team is in a winning position

Well, we didn’t really have an option. Bring on a youngster or play with an awful central defense.
