As fans are lamenting Florian Wirtz’s decision to choose Liverpool FC over Bayern Munich, more and more of the story to how it happened is dropping. According to a report from kicker journalist Georg Holzner (as captured by @iMiaSanMiia), the club’s plan for Wirtz was likely considered to be inconsistent as two factions within the…
If you thought it could not get any worse for Bayern Munich and its ongoing bout with injuries…think again. With the game knotted at 1-1 in the second half against FC Augsburg, starting attacking midfielder Jamal Musiala had to be taken off the pitch with what is being described by some as a hamstring injury:…
Fulltime Observations WHY DOESN’T BAYERN SEND IN MORE CROSSES!?!?!? Two goals tonight came from pinpoint crosses. Dominating possession has its merits but at some point the ball needs to get into the box. Crosses are notoriously difficult to cover because defenders have to mark on the move while also judging the trajectory of the cross…

For starters, there is a second…

Leon Goretzka single-handedly breaks the game wide open with a quick…
Bayern Munich’s 0-0 draw against Bayer Leverkusen was anything but classy, and all of Bayern’s squad had to agree. Manuel Neuer, however, saw the silver lining: “We’re happy with the result. Of course, it was tough, we didn’t create many chances, Leverkusen pressed hard. It was difficult to build up our play and combine. In…
Bayern Munich manage to snatch a marginal 4-3 victory against Holstein Kiel after being four goals up. An unnecessarily stressful ending to a game that should have been plain sailing. Here are the biggest takeaways. Devoid of defensive cohesion Let’s start with the bad, and boy was Bayern Munich’s sketchy defence bad. Now, I don’t…
Uninspiring is the first word that comes to mind when looking at Bayern Munich the last couple weeks.
