Bavarian Podcast Works — Preview Show: St. Pauli vs. Bayern Munich (Bundesliga)

Bayern Munich shook off a disappointing draw with Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga last weekend by throttling Red Bull Salzburg in the Champions League.Next up is a very good Hoffenheim squad, led by former Bayern Munich II boss Sebastian Hoeneß. Hoffenheim, of course, also features Bayern Munich loanee Chris Richards. The Alabama native is battling a foot injury and probably will not play, but the USMNT defender has made the most of his loan assignment.Here is what we have on tap for this episode:A look at where both teams sit in the Bundesliga table.A show of respect for what Hoffenheim has done this season.A look at why Bayern Munich might look to sell Richards despite his great progress.A somewhat educated guess at how Bayern Munich might align itself this weekend.A probably not educated prediction on the match.As always, we love your feedback and appreciate all the support!Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.

Well that wasn’t great. Bayern Munich just drew 1-1 against Bayer Leverkusen in a game that honestly could’ve been a loss if not for some awful finishing. Julian Nagelsmann looks like he’s treading water at the moment as his tactics and substitutions failed to net Bayern three points over a Leverkusen side missing their main striker. Questions will be asked about this one, and the answers won’t be pretty.Here are our talking points from the game:Definitive signs of mentality issues under Julian Nagelsmann.Why Omar Richards should be the starting left-back as long as Alphonso Davies remains out.Rounding out some of the other positive performances — Ulreich and Pavard.Another shutout game for Robert Lewandowski.Is Thomas Muller ineffective in this system?The big problem Jamal Musiala had today — good decision making held back by poor execution.Is Dayot Upamecano becoming a 42 million euro mistake?Warning signs for the upcoming game against RB Salzburg in the Champions League.Has Julian Nagelsmann been carried by individual brilliance? The poor decision making behind his subs.A depressing picture of the long and short term problems facing Bayern Munich at the moment.As always, we love your feedback and appreciate all the support!Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.

It’s going to be another long week without any midweek fixtures, but it sure is good to see Bayern Munich back to winning in dominant fashion. If you had asked me if I thought Bayern were capable of coming out of an Eintracht Frankfurt away game with a victory and a clean sheet, I would’ve scoffed at the thought 2 weeks ago. But now that it has happened, this team sure looks like they can grind out the wins again.However, looking at the not-so-distant future, there are quite a few things the club needs to sort out: impending contract extensions, signing defensive reinforcements, analyzing the future of the Bayern midfield, and managing campus talents. This podcast would be covering these topics, with a few more bits and pieces added to give Take-home points from the Eintracht gameDefensive situation and potential targets for the summerContract extensions and the “big 3”The curious case of chef Gnabry (who has been starving us for a while)Sabitzer’s performances, and areas where he must improveMusiala and Wanner and their future at the clubThe injury situation and players on the verge of a returnLearn more about your ad choices.

Bayern Munich have finally played a good game! Shockingly, the performance came against Eintracht Frankfurt away, a fixture which has given the Bavarians some significant issues in the past. With multiple players including Thomas Muller still out, this could’ve been a chance for the Eagles to smash and grab three points from the Rekordmeister. Bayern didn’t let that happen though, and even managed to get a clean sheet for their efforts.Here are our talking points from the game:What was the formation Nagelsmann used today? Was it a 4-2-3-1 or something else?The paradoxical nature of the defense — setup vs performance.A full midfield review, including Joshua Kimmich’s great game and a potential future between him and Musiala in a pivot.So it turns out you don’t need 20 attackers to create chances. Who knew?Robert Lewandowski’s role compared to usual.How Julian Nagelsmann can build on this performance in the coming games.Why an unglamorous win was a step in the right direction for Bayern Munich.As always, we love your feedback and appreciate all the support!Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.
