This is what we have on tap:Coman’s new deal, what it means for Bayern Munich, the formation, and the other wingers on the roster.Niklas Süle’s unfortunate status and why Nico Schlotterbeck is the preferred option should Süle bolt.Where things stand with Manuel Neuer, Thomas Müller, and Robert Lewandowski.The interesting news that Bayern Munich has made contact with Mino Raiola over Erling Haaland.The shame of me not watching the Bayern Munich documentary as of yet and why I need to get on Cobra Kai and The Book of Boba Fett ASAP.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.

When looking at Bundesliga managers, you would be hard-pressed to find anyone doing a better job than FC Köln’s Steffen Baumgart.Of course, Bayern Munich’s Julian Nagelsmann and SC Freiburg’s Christian Streich have also done pretty well, but with the Billy Goats sitting in sixth place, it is hard to think many other coaches could take that FC Köln roster and take it to these heights.With the Billy Goats an absolutely worthy opponent, Bayern Munich absolutely need to being its “A” game — and not the same lifeless effort it had against Gladbach. Here is what we have on tap:A look at where each team sits in the table.Why FC Köln is dangerous.The players we’ve seen identified as possible starters for Bayern Munich.What the Bavarians need to show even with a lineup that once again will not be operating at 100%.A 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.

While we were gone, Bayern Munich concluded the winter break and came back to a disastrous Covid-19 situation at the club. Up to TEN players tested positive before the game against Borussia Monchengladbach, which the team ended up losing 2-1 to start off the new year. Not great, all things considered — but it did give us a lot to talk about.In this episode, Ineednoname and Schnitzel discuss:The crazy situation with Covid-19 at the club, and how Julian Nagelsmann has coped.Were the players who tested positive (guys like Lucas Hernandez, Manuel Neuer, etc.) irresponsible by going abroad during vacation?Why was Bayern hit so hard by Covid?Another tangent on the state of the Bundesliga, stemming from frustration with how Gladbach play.Moving onto our main topic — has Marcel Sabitzer been a flop at Bayern Munich?Schnitzel gives an impassioned defense of the Austrian. INNN is unmoved.The problem(s) with Sabitzer so far.Schnitzel and INNN’s first argument of the year.Closing thoughts on the Sabitzer issue — what does he need to do to be accepted?A final quick look at the nominees for the FIFA The Best award — can Robert Lewandowski win it?As always, thanks for your support and let us know what you think!Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.
