Alcacer made an impression, but Favre was not worried
Paco Alcacer is not the rookie that Dortmund fans expect. It's hard to argue that strikers who have never scored more than 15 goals in a season can replace Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who has 141 shots in just four and a half years at Signal Iduna Park.

But just 20 minutes after coming on as a substitute and at the 12th, the Spaniard hit the post. It was a powerful left-foot strike from the edge of the penalty area, through the jungle of Frankfurt players to set a 3-1 victory, helping Dortmund temporarily rise to the head of the Bundesliga.

Alcacer also received applause for the delicate slot to Jadon Sancho down the right flank and ended with a pass to Marius Wolf to raise the score to 2-1. Lucien Favre has praised the Spanish rookie, saying that he "understands tactically and connects well with new teammates even after joining the club for only 10 days."

Of course, he also praises Sancho, that the young British talent "is making a difference". Like the Alcacer, Sancho joined the last two goals so now, there have been 3 pitches despite only 56 minutes from the start of the season. With high-speed technical shocks and sharp vision, Sancho certainly plays a key role in the Dortmund squad this season.

Sancho will no longer be a major factor in the coming time, as the main players have played very badly, from Jacob Bruun Larsen, Maximilian Philipp to Marco Reus. Until Favre made a series of personnel adjustments in the second half, Dortmund completely faded to Frankfurt.

Despite the overwhelming possession, they have made too many wrong passes and made wrong decisions at crucial times. Not only in the play-building process, even when defending, there are also many errors. On ESPN, pen Stefan Buczko commented that Favre's army "was as if it was still in pre-season." If not improved soon, Dortmund will have big trouble in the next time, to play seven games in three weeks and encounter opponents uncomfortable as Hoffenheim or Leverkusen.

Surprisingly, despite the fact that the machine has not been running smoothly and has not had enough staff, Favre is still determined to dismiss veterans like Mario Goetze and Shinji Kagawa, plus midfielder Julian Weigl. The three players have not played in just one minute in the new season. Kagawa has not even been on the list in all three matches. With the current situation, the Swiss coach may have to change plans if not want the Dortmund ship deviate.
