Bavarian Podcast Works — Preview Show: Bayern Munich vs. Mainz 05 (Bundesliga)

Sooooo ... Bayern Munich went to the Signal Iduna Park and came out with a draw. Under normal circumstances you’d take that result, but when the team were leading Borussia Dortmund 2-0 at one point ... a draw leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. Once again, Bayern have dropped points where they shouldn’t have, meaning that the club is back in crisis again. When will it end?Here are our talking points from the game:Our impressions of the result overall. What does this mean for Bayern Munich? Is Sadio Mane becoming a problem? Would the presence of Thomas Muller have prevented a collapse like this from happening?Did Bayern Munich get unlucky in this game? Is it time to ask questions about Julian Nagelsmann?

So Bayern Munich have won another game in the Champions League, and it really wasn’t even close. Viktoria Plzen will be counting their lucky stars that this game only ended 5-0, because the early minutes of the game seemed to be building up to a massacre. We saw complete dominance and clinical attacking football as Juian Nagelsmann’s side tore the Czech giants apart. Here are our talking points from the game:How do you pronounce “Plzen”? A quick recap of what went on in the game. Jamal Musiala and Leroy Sane’s amazing linkup plays. Sadio Mane, offsides, and criticism of the automated offside technology. A basic review of each player’s performance. Why Leon Goretzka might be preferred over Marcel Sabitzer against certain types of teams. An interesting note on Benjamin Pavard being subbed on as a center-back. Criticizing Julian Nagelsmann for his use of youth players this season and this game in particular.

After four consecutive Bundesliga games without a win, Bayern Munich have responded in solid fashion with a 4-0 win over a struggling Bayer Leverkusen side. The entire front four managed to score as Julian Nagelsmann’s system shone in its ability to create chances and suffocate the opposition with a high press. Even so, after all these poor performances, we have to be wary about declaring the crisis over after a single win. Here are our talking points from the game:A quick recap of how the game went down. How Sadio Mane playing on the left might be a move to optimize his role. Leroy Sane’s excellent performance, overshadowed by the even better Jamal Musiala. Why a “quiet game” from Thomas Muller is a myth. A quick review of the midfield partnership (not much to say here) and Sabitzer’s Kante-esque role. Does Matthijs de Ligt look a little ... large? Countering confusing narratives about Alphonso Davies. Interesting moves by Nagelsmann on set pieces. Criticism of the substitutions.Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.
