Well that could have gone better. Embarrassing doesn’t begin to describe what we saw as Bayern Munich succumbed 3-0 to RB Leipzig in this year’s edition of the DFL Supercup. Thomas Tuchel was at a loss to explain why his team is playing such horrible football, so us here at BPW decided to do it for him. Spoiler alert: It’s the coach. In this episode, INNN and Samrin discuss the following: Why did Benjamin Pavard, who wants to leave Bayern Munich, start this game? Can you even blame the players when the tactics are this bad? How Thomas Tuchel is completely neutering Jamal Musiala. What is going on with the midfield? Why is Joshua Kimmich playing so badly? In defense of Mathys Tel and the chances he missed. Can Harry Kane and/or Thomas Muller really fix this? Why this loss hurts more than usual from a marketing/exposure perspective. Harry Kane is an amazing transfer, but he could bomb because of a bad start. Extremely worrying signs from Thomas Tuchel in the post match presser. Is it time for Bayern to sack Tuchel? What options are available as replacements? Could any new transfers fix this team? Closing out with the goalkeeper issue — is Sven Ulreich good enough? Will Manuel Neuer ever come back? Was it a mistake to let Yann Sommer go? Should Bayern Munich have kept him? Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.

After months of speculation, it finally appears that Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane is making the seemingly unlikely move to Bayern Munich.The final days here have been a whirlwind of “will he” or “won’t he” stories that eventually all faded away. Barring a last minute collapse, Kane should be making his way to Germany for a physical and could be presented at the DFL-Supercup — if things go to plan. All that said, there was plenty to talk about, so let’s dig in: Why I am crushing a crow sandwich. Recapping the craziness that occurred on Thursday August 10th as news was flowing from everywhere about Kane’s potential move. How Kane will fit and why Thomas Tuchel’s biggest job is to ensure this move is a success. Also, some thoughts on what happens if Tuchel can’t make the team mesh quickly. What else Bayern Munich might be looking at in the transfer market and why some of the perceived needs probably are exactly requirements. Learn more about your ad choices.

After the debacle of the last week or so, it feels like Bayern Munich and Tottenham Hotspur are going in circles when it comes to the subject of Harry Kane, courtesy of one Daniel Levy. The transfer could still go through of course, but it feels like it’s more trouble than it’s worth. Meanwhile, Yann Sommer has left Bayern but Manuel Neuer is still injured, and Thomas Tuchel complained about not having a true defensive midfielder. Lots of major topics for one episode. In this episode, INNN and Schnitzel talk about the following: What the hell is Daniel Levy playing at? Should Bayern Munich pull out of the Harry Kane transfer? What potential options are available at this stage? Sadio Mane might be one of the worst transfers in Bayern Munich history. With Manuel Neuer still injured, was it a good idea to let Yann Sommer go? What goalkeeper alternatives can Bayern sign on such short notice? Why David de Gea is a BAD option. A review of how Bayern Munich has played in preseason so far. Why does Thomas Tuchel’s Bayern Munich feel less dynamic? Tuchel vs Kimmich and the #6 debate. Why has the fanbase turned completely against Leon Goretzka? What does Thomas Tuchel think about the backline and Dayot Upamecano? Kyle Walker — seems like he’s not coming to Bayern.

The preseason has not been so kind to Bayern Munich just yet. Similarly, the World Cup served up a gut punch to Germany in the form of a stunning defeat at the hands of Colombia (The Revenge of James Rodriguez?). With Harry Kane’s pursuit ongoing and Manuel Neuer still trying to get into form, there is plenty of uncertainty surrounding Bayern Munich — and let’s not think about Germany being in an elimination match against South Korea (where have we seen this before?). Needless to say, we have plenty to chat about, so let’s get to it. This is what we have on tap for this week’s episode of the BFW Flagship Show: Germany’s shocking defeat and why there might be organizational issues with development at the DFB. A quick update on Bayern Munich’s pursuit of Harry Kane. Dayot Upamecano could find himself on the bench for Thomas Tuchel. Why the preseason is a little concerning — even if the results do not mean a damned thing. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Hosted on Acast.
