BERLIN : Borussia Dortmund will need to work their way out of a tough situation following their 2-1 loss at Augsburg in the Bundesliga on Saturday, and must create more scoring chances to be rewarded for their possession, said coach Nuri Sahin.

The coach was sharply criticised for his substitutions at 2-0 in that game with Dortmund then conceding five goals in the second half. "80 per cent possession does not necessarily mean more chances. We just did not get into the danger area often enough," Sahin told a press conference. "Fact is for 80 per cent possession we had far too few chances. We need to work on creating more chances," Sahin said."Our squad is not without experience and I expect all of us together, players and coaches, to face this current situation and go through it together."
