Borussia Dortmund were held to a scoreless draw against AC Milan in their first home game of this season's Champions League.
Despite being the dominant team for long stretches of the match, Terzic's side still have difficulty scoring in the most important moments.
Today's match, in particular, was marred by poor decision-making across Dortmund's midfield and frontline.
Despite the lack of goals, it was a back-and-forth affair, as both sides battled in midfield but failed to create chances.
Mats Hummels set the tone for Dortmund's defense, who performed brilliantly throughout the game, with a fantastic slide tackle in the 4th minute on Tommaso Pobega.
Donyell Malen produced several good chances for Borussia Dortmund, including the home side's best chance of the first half that saw the ball flash wide of the Milanese goal in the 27th minute.
Both teams will feel that they could, and should, have done better but Dortmund find themselves bottom of the group table after creating zero clear chances across two games.
Dortmund's Midfield Struggle Continues Today was the first time this season that Can lined up next to Ozcan in Dortmund's midfield.
Marco Reus was in front of them and Julian Brandt was pushed out wide.
Several problems arise from this situation.
The first is that Ozcan and Can struggle to progress the ball.
Neither are intricate passers and neither are great dribblers.
This pushes the responsibility of ball progression in the middle third onto the fullbacks and Marco Reus.
Usually, this forces one of Donyell Malen or Julian Brandt to drop deeper as well.
The next problem is that Julian Brandt is much less effective out wide than he is in the center of the field.
Marco Reus, on the other hand, has been one of Dortmund's best players this season.
Both players fill a niche that the other one occupies and Terzic's side has struggled trying to play them both.
Quick Thoughts Mats Hummels has been Borussia Dortmund's best defender for the past three years and will go down as one of the club's best players in history.
Dortmund have trouble breaking down low blocks and generating high-probability shots.
Bensebaini redeemed himself after his red card at the weekend.
JBG might just be the successor to Dahoud in the coveted "Patrick's Favorite Player Despite Not Being That Good" role.
Your Thoughts? What did you think of the game and what are the odds that Dortmund get out of the group? I'm giving them a 43% chance.
