The selection of the Swedish Frida Johansson two posts before and its unbelievable almost...100 000 notes (!!!!) is the opportunity for me to speak about a problem. It deserves to be in YWAMag and that’s why it is here. But, without any offense to Frida, a very good Swedish photographer who has often been in the mag for years, it has nothing revolutionary. I’ll take several brilliant photographers who are on Tumblr and who have big YWAMag galleries :

-Me (sorry ! By the way, you haven’t seen me in the mag since a Tumblr change about 4 years ago for a technical reason) : I have never had more than 200 notes or something like that, during my first Tumblr years (2 015, mainly) when I was not boycotted yet especially by Lensblr, so my rare selections there reached that score. My notes’ amount is usually between 25 and 80. I have exhibited about ten times, in 4 capital cities. This to say that Tumblr/web success has nothing to see with real value, and with the stuff you do for your professional work and recognition.

-Peter Solarz (USA) : his Tumblr has started to have success only about three years ago, with some images reaching thousands of notes, always processed nature images. A specific photographer like me, not aiming what is called the extraordinary, but mainly composition and to transcend the things people don’t see.

-Purple Time Space Swamp (USA) : as Peter and me, based on composition. Unknown here and there, except by the mag. Usually has between 0 notes and 5.

-Peter Pollmanns (Dothob, Germany) : comparable to all of us, especially to me and Peter. Brilliant, kind of same notes’ ratio as me. Counter-example : the young Finnish Mila Mai, spectacular landscapes, huge amount of notes, often thousands. Harassed by a young Finnish looney, finally erased her Tumblr and disappeared about three years ago. It seems that she came back with a pseudonym but I couldn’t swear. Basile Pesso - YWAMag director since 2 014

Why Peter Bosz Has Got to Go

Lars Pollmann 7 days ago

Peter Bosz seems like a fine man.

At first, I thought he was a bit dull, but maybe it was his lack of experience speaking German in front of large crowds of journalists who were spoiled by the entertainer Jürgen Klopp and the mad professor Thomas Tuchel. The Dutchman has grown on me on a personal level. He seems like the kind of man you’d like to have a couple of drinks with after all, even though he prefers wine over beer. After Tuchel’s successful but at least equally stressful tenure at the Westfalenstadion came to its logical but nonetheless undignified conclusion in the summer, Bosz was the right kind of man to appoint.

Where his predecessor divided, he unites. He doesn’t make any demands. He hasn’t groaned once since Dortmund sold budding superstar Ousmane Dembele and replaced him with Andrey Yarmolenko. By all accounts, players like working with Bosz, too. The man Peter Bosz doesn’t deserve to be fired, or anything bad to happen to him. But Borussia Dortmund are a football club that pays the head coach Peter Bosz a lot of money to lead a very expensive team. His tenure, having started better than anyone would’ve dared to hope, has taken a turn into the realms of abject failure.

The head coach Peter Bosz has got to go.

Appointing Peter Bosz

Let’s remember back to the summer. It wasn’t Bosz whom Dortmund identified as their number one target. That was Lucien Favre, the former Hertha BSC and Borussia Mönchengladbach manager who led OGC Nice to a sensational third-place finish in Ligue 1 last season. A man with some personality quirks and less than amicable partings of ways in the Bundesliga before, but someone with a pedigree. When Nice blocked the move Favre was said to be more than keen on, and 1899 Hoffenheim’s Julian Nagelsmann wasn’t available, either, Dortmund settled on Bosz.

In his one year at Ajax the 54-year-old had reached the UEFA Europa League final with a thrilling run in the competition that included eliminations of Olympique Lyon and Schalke. Bosz held talks with clubs, stating later that he’d have left Ajax after the season regardless of finding a new club or not, pointing at differences of opinion with the club’s overly interfering directorial level. That Bosz, like Favre, is represented by Reza Fazeli, an agent with whom Dortmund have very good relations, probably played a factor.

Going from Favre to Bosz, though, never made much sense if Dortmund were looking for a certain type of football from their new coach.

Especially during his Bundesliga days, the Suisse coach counted on defending in a low block, not applying a huge amount of pressure on the opponent in possession. On the ball, his teams took their time instead of playing wave after wave of counter-attacks, leading them to complete a high percentage of passes and a good quality of shots. Dustin Ward has taken a closer look at Gladbach’s numbers in this piece.

Compare that deliberate approach to Bosz’s pedal-to-the-metal style.

Dortmund’s high line has been discussed as a weak point ad nauseam. We’ve also talked about the team’s issues to create high-probability scoring chances on the Podcast. Funnily enough, they had more problems in that area during the strong start to the season, in which they overperformed in terms of scoring from smaller chances, which would always result in a regression to the mean over the long term.

Midfield Marginalised

The biggest issue with Bosz’s system — and it doesn’t matter if nominally the team are set up in a 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1 or 3-4-3 — is how the midfield is marginalised.

Julian Weigl attempted 14 passes in the Revierderby, only Yarmolenko had fewer attempts among starters. It’s not a one-time occurrence, either, as Weigl is a shadow of his former self.

[...]

At his best, Weigl influences the game in a lot of subtle ways. He’s never going to put up a lot of numbers on the stat sheets, but his assuredness in passing and possession allows Dortmund to dictate the rhythm of games, to recycle the ball in their ranks until opponents invariably give them an opening. Naturally, the player deserves some of the blame, and some of his problems can be attributed to a four-month injury layoff over the summer. However, Bosz has got to answer for his inability to build a team around one of his best players and clearly his best defensive midfielder. Asking him to push much higher up the pitch in his first few games back from the ankle injury, Bosz robbed Weigl of his biggest strengths. Still a young player, Weigl’s confidence seems shot and even when allowed to play in his more natural habitat, the Germany international makes simple mistakes and never gets into his rhythm.

Building a team around your best players is one of the easiest ways to success for any head coach at any level in any sport. The marginalisation of Weigl, as well as asking Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to contribute in the No. 10 space much more than the Gabonese has ever been comfortable with, indicate that Bosz either doesn’t know how to do that or that he’s not interested in adapting his ideas to the strengths of the team he’s been given control over. Apart from Mario Götze and Nuri Sahin — and those two have come back from long-term or on-and-off absences — not a single player has gotten better under Bosz.

Crisis Management

Obviously, Dortmund have been in similarly dire situations before, even under Bosz’s two predecessors. Tuchel’s BVB wasn’t much better for large stretches of the autumn of 2016, and Dortmund were in the relegation zone over the winter break of Klopp’s last season. The difference: You never had the feeling that the guy on the sideline didn’t have a clue of how to get out of the slump. It’s probably unfair to compare a first-year head coach to Klopp, who had reached God-like status in Dortmund by the time his team forgot how to play football and pick up results.

Funnily enough, the two men communicated the respective crises in a similar way, often failing to find an explanation other than “we stopped playing football in the second half” of the latest defeat — or 4-4 draw. Much like Bosz is doing now, Klopp called for perseverance in the hope that, eventually, the teams quality would be too big for them to keep failing. Given how Klopp had proved his style worked over many seasons and picking up two Bundesliga championships, a DFB-Pokal and a UEFA Champions League final berth, his words carried a lot more weight than those of Bosz, who’s never won a trophy and is on his third job since January of 2016.

Second-Half Collapses

Perhaps the most damning account of Bosz’s apparent shortcomings in charge of Dortmund are the collapses the team have suffered in second halves of an astounding number of games during the recent run of rotten results. Since September, Dortmund have won one second half, against third-division side Magdeburg in the cup. They’ve conceded 17 goals in the second halves of the other 11 games in that timeframe, including four against Schalke on Matchday 13.

Bosz has been adamant that it’s not a question of fitness, going as far as declaring his team are in a better physical state than at the start of the season. Without the required data on intensive runs, sprints and more, it’s difficult to dispute the Dutchman’s words with 100 per cent accuracy, but everyone who’s watched the games will feel Bosz’s reaching quite a bit. Going by the eye test, Dortmund have looked dead in the water after 60 minutes in many games, with dropping intensity levels leading to even sloppier defending than usual.

The team’s second-half collapses have also been informed by Bosz’s in-game decisions. Often enough, Dortmund start well — take the Stuttgart and Schalke games as an example — only to be undone in the second half. Opposing coaches take a while to figure Dortmund out, make simple adjustments and Bosz seems unable to match with a countering move.

He’s been outcoached, badly, too many times.

Getting to Know Peter Stöger

For the second time this year, Borussia Dortmund have signed a new head coach, appointing former Cologne boss Peter Stöger on Sunday after letting go of Peter Bosz. To get to know Stöger better, we reached out to Effzeh.com’s Thomas Reinscheid.

Under Peter Stöger, Cologne developed continuously for four years and suddenly things went terribly wrong this season. Can you break that down into one or two reasons?

Not into one or two, sadly, no.

But if we’re talking about the main source for the problems at Cologne, then surely the club’s transfer strategy and injury issues are near the top of the list. Unfortunately, they have neglected to properly improve the squad over the last two years and they’re getting their comeuppance after a surprisingly strong last campaign.

Peter Stöger isn’t completely blameless, however: The team seems odly lethargic and not entirely fit, he stuck to players such as Matthias Lehmann and Konstantin Rausch for a long time because of a lack of options and even his magic touch in terms of his in-game coaching seems to have gone missing.

The dramatic collapse is the consequence of all this, and the team was basically relegated at the start of December.

What impression did Stöger make towards the end of his tenure? Did he still reach his players, was he tired or irritable?

From my point of view Stöger didn’t make much of a different impression than last season. He’s a very calm, down-to-earth guy who doesn’t show huge emotional swings in bad or successful periods. That style was well received by the team too: The players never hung their heads despite the disastrous run of results and they always rallied to their coach. Even though he mentioned some signs of fatigue towards the end of last season in the summer, Stöger never seemed spent or weary of his job. On the contrary: He fought for his job, his team and his legacy with FC.

Stöger mostly stands for a good defensive organisation, but has also coached a more dominant style in the 2. Bundesliga and with Austria Wien. Do you think he’ll be able to do more than consolidate Dortmund?

I think he’s capable of more, generally speaking.

Stöger has proved at Cologne that he’s able to establish a stable system on the field. The problem I see, though, is that doesn’t have a lot of time to do that. Taking over the head-coaching job for a profoundly rattled team in the middle of English Weeks [with mid-week fixtures] is a kamikaze operation — and the winter break isn’t really long enough to do fundamental work on the structural weaknesses in Dortmund’s team.

It’s going to be interesting for me to watch whether he will play a different kind of football with a much better squad. From the outsider’s view he’s considered as a clearly defensive-minded coach, but in my opinion that was largely down to Cologne’s limited squad.

Maybe he can rework his image in those six months at Dortmund …

The fans seem to have loved Stöger, can you describe his personality in a few words?

From the human side of things I can only congratulate BVB fans: Stöger is grounded and straightforward, with a lot of Wiener Schmäh [the Viennese humour and style of communication] and important social skills. He truly captivates people, in a completely different way compared to Jürgen Klopp, for example.

I’m excited to see whether he manages to get invested in his new club and approach its identity — like he did in Cologne.

Many thanks to Thomas, whom you can follow on Twitter @koelnsued You can find his work at Effzeh.com

Comical Errors and a 2nd-Half Collapse

Borussia Dortmund’s crisis continued after the final international break of the calendar year, with the Black and Yellows losing 2-1 at VfB Stuttgart, their third Bundesliga defeat on the spin. It’s the worst run of league games since Jürgen Klopp’s infamous final season in charge of the club.

[...]

Head coach Peter Bosz made four changes to the team that lost to Bayern Munich ahead of the international break, with Jeremy Toljan, Mario Götze, Andre Schürrle and Maximilian Philipp coming into the starting XI.

Ömer Toprak missed the match with knee problems, Gonzalo Castro sat on the bench, Christian Pulisic picked up a knock in the final training session and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was suspended for various instances of misconduct.

First Half

Both teams set up as had been largely expected. Stuttgart marked Dortmund’s three midfielders tightly and offered a compact three-man centre-back block that was supported by wing-backs when the need arose, while the visitors played in their usual 4-3-3 shape. Without Aubameyang, Schürrle led the line but often switched positions with Andrey Yarmolenko and, occasionally, Philipp.

Schürrle opened the game with a half chance but, before it could develop further, a comical individual mistake gave the hosts the lead. Marc Bartra and Roman Bürki didn’t communicate properly, with the Spaniard completely overhitting a simple back pass to his goalkeeper. Bürki couldn’t react quickly enough, letting the ball bounce to Chadroc Akolo, who found an open net for the easiest goal he’s ever scored away from his PlayStation.

Naturally, the early lead played into Hannes Wolf’s hands perfectly, even though Dortmund’s reaction was fairly positive. More than in recent games against opponents that set up similarly, BVB found ways to evade the man-orientated defending in the centre of the pitch, with Mario Götze particularly strong in this regard.

Early shots from Yarmolenko and Schürrle signalled their intent, and as the half went on Dortmund grew stronger and stronger. Götze pulling the strings and Toljan, who used the ample amount of space Stuttgart left open on their left defensive side fairly well, were the catalysts together with Yarmolenko, who gave Emiliano Insua and Timo Baumgartl fits in one-on-ones.

However, they struggled to convert dominance into clear-cut scoring chances, with the final ball too often missing, and were thus dangerous from distance only, with two Götze attempts probably their best opportunities until stoppage time.

A positive Götze run onto the end of a Toljan lob resulted in a penalty when Benjamin Pavard blocked the ball with his elbow. Schürrle saw his attempt saved by Ron-Robert Zieler, but Philipp reacted first and smashed home with authority, a superbly clean strike of the ball with his weaker left foot. The goal coming on the stroke of half time, Dortmund were deservedly level and had arguably put together their strongest half in over a month.

Second Half

Dan-Axel Zagadou replaced Sokratis Papastathopoulos at half time, the Greek defender suffering from an apparent rib injury. Bartra moved to the right side of the centre-back partnership and, if one were to look for an explanation for his boneheadedness six minutes into the second half, well, there’s your straw to clutch at.

Inexplicably, the 26-year-old Spain international rushed deep into Stuttgart’s half to go for a lose ball instead of holding his position as the de-facto leader of Dortmund’s defence. When he, predictably, lost the final duel and was caught in no-man’s land, most of the damage was already done. It didn’t help that team captain Marcel Schmelzer, who had an altogether forgettable game himself, failed to pick up a runner sprinting down his left side of the pitch, of course. Stuttgart’s half-time substitute, Josip Brekalo, made no mistake with this golden opportunity of a present for the hosts, nutmegging Zagadou and Bürki with his shot — in fairness to the Switzerland ‘keeper, he couldn’t see the ball before it was too late.

Unlike the first half, Dortmund were unable to find an answer immediately after conceding, or, really, for the rest of the game. Wolf had changed up his team a bit to help out against Toljan and Yarmolenko, which robbed BVB of their most reliable avenue going forward, while Götze was more and more left alone by Julian Weigl and Shinji Kagawa. Weigl looked especially hopeless the longer the game went on, misplacing simple passes and committing largely unnecessary fouls at bad moments in the game.

The introductions of Mahmoud Dahoud (for Kagawa) and, curiously late in the game, Raphael Guerreiro (for Schürrle with seven minutes to go), didn’t change anything, as Dortmund mustered but one chance in the final half hour or so. Schürrle’s shot was no real threat to Zieler’s goal. Yarmolenko did have the ball in the net in the 71st minute, but it was correctly ruled that he had handled the ball before.

Not Dortmund but Stuttgart had all the chances in the world to ice the game but Berkay Özcan, Takuma Asano or Brekalo all failed to make the defeat even more severe for Dortmund.

The Verdict

Dortmund are hard to watch and it’s difficult to understand what exactly is happening at the club right now. The first half was fine, the second was unacceptable. Given how this was supposed to be a fresh start for the Black and Yellows, one cannot look into the immediate future and at fixtures against Tottenham Hotspur, Schalke 04 and Bayer Leverkusen with even a sliver of confidence.

It’s not hard to predict that there will be some pressure on Dortmund to make drastic changes if those games go the way it right now looks they will, and we must be at a point where a dismissal of Peter Bosz isn’t completely out of the realm of possibility any longer.
