Five saves in loss Kobel made five saves during Tuesday's 4-0 loss to Ajax.
Impact Kobel conceded four goals and still put together a very strong performance. With a lesser keeper in net it would have likely been seven or eight goals conceded. Kobel is still a top option, but with the makeshift defensive unit in front of him he loses some value in high-profile matches.

Secures win with two saves Kobel registered two saves while conceding one goal in Wednesday's 2-1 victory of Besiktas.
Impact Kobel's first save of the match was a phenomenal one-handed save that likely would have shifted the momentum of the match if it had gone in. The keeper has allowed 10 goals and made 11 saves in five matches across all competitions this year and should continue to feature for the club heading into Sunday's domestic tilt versus Union Berlin.

Concedes twice in win Kobel allowed two goals while making three saves in a 3-2 win over Hoffenheim on Friday.
Impact Kobel is nothing if not consistent, having given up two goals in each of the first three contests. The keeper appears to have cemented himself as the No. 1 choice for Borussia Dortmund over Roman Burki but will likely be on a short leash.

Dortmund signs Swiss goalkeeper Gregory Kobel from Stuttgart
Borussia Dortmund has signed Swiss goalkeeper Gregory Kobel from Bundesliga rival StuttgartMAY 31, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Joins Dortmund Kobel moved to Borussia Dortmund from Stuttgart on a five-year contract, his new club announced Monday.
Impact Kobel conceded 54 goals in 33 starts during the 2020/21 season, but played in a team that focused more on its attacking strength than its defensive stability. Goalkeepers who have multiple seasons under their belt as starters seldom agree to long contracts without seeking out a starting job, so one of Marwin Hitz or Roman Burki may have to make way for Kobel's arrival. This doesn't mean Kobel will start initially but hanging onto three goalkeepers who have started in the Bundesliga likely isn't good for business or team chemistry.

Impact Kobel returns to the squad Saturday after a one-game absence because of back problems. While he should be in play for multiple saves, he's allowed multiple goals in each of his last four starts and Monchengladbach could have some success against this back line.
