"Sky" expert Marc Janko speaks of the "biggest crisis of the Bulls era" with regard to the condition of runners-up Salzburg. Only in the very first year was the interim result worse. Coach Pep Lijnders looked completely at a loss after the 2-0 defeat at Blau-Weiß Linz.

A goal difference of 15:14, only five wins, just 18 points. That is Salzburg's haul under the leadership of coach Pep Lijnders after his first eleven Bundesliga rounds. Only Kurt Jara, the very first coach of the Bullen era, had a worse record after the same number of games.
