Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller and defender Mats Hummels attempted to placate angry fans after Jurgen Klopp's side slumped to another defeat on Wednesday night.
Last season's Bundesliga runners-up were booed off after the a 1-0 home defeat by 10-man Augsburg which left Dortmund firmly anchored to the foot of the Bundesliga table.
After the final whistle Weidenfeller climbed on top of the crowd barrier to talk to angry supporters, while Hummels also faced up to the frustrations of the club's famous 'yellow wall'.
Dortmund completely lacked ideas in front of a sold-out 80,000 crowd and were easily outmuscled by European hopefuls Augsburg for whom Raul Bobadilla netted the winner in the 50th minute to seal his club's first ever win over Dortmund.
Surprise packages Augsburg, who had Christoph Janker sent off midway through the second half, shut out Dortmund in the last half hour and climbed into fourth place on 33 points courtesy of their third successive league win.
Dortmund, who take on Juventus in the Champions League round of 16 this month, are 18th in the Bundesliga on 16 points after their 11th league defeat.
Coach Jurgen Klopp was left speechless after the game while goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller and defender Mats Hummels went straight to speak to their furious fans.
'We can be accused of anything tonight and it is all justified,' Klopp said. 'Battling also means having the courage to take the right decision. We were missing that tonight.'
'It hurts, no doubt. We are doing everything wrong at the moment. We are not making anything of our chances.'
