Borussia Dortmund player ratings from 2-1 defeat to Stuttgart

Julian Brandt (3/10)

Brandt was uncharacteristically ineffective in the first-half, and was taken off at half-time. The in-form attacking midfielder wasn’t able to get involved whatsoever and managed just 13 touches of the ball.

Karim Adeyemi (3/10)

Adeyemi was given another chance in the starting XI but failed to make the most of it. He misplaced a lot of passes, and also came close to receiving a second yellow card. Terzic decided to take him off at half-time.

Niclas Füllkrug (5/10)

Füllkrug scored with his only shot of the game but wasn’t really able to get involved in the game other than that. Dan-Axel Zagadou had the measure of him for the most part.
