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

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.

Here is what we have on tap for this episode: A rundown of the scoring.The boring first half that has me reaching for booze.The incredible emotional roller coaster that was the second half.Hansi Flick’s subs did make an impact (whether fans want to admit it or not).What we can take away from the the UEFA Nations League as we near the World Cup.Thank you for all the support!

Germany failed to impress against Hungary in what can be summed up as a disappointing showing overall, particularly from the attack. If Hansi Flick’s side is to have any shot at going deep in the competition, they simply cannot look so toothless up front. Also, is Germany’s poor form coinciding with Bayern Munich’s poor showings of late mere happenstance, or are the two related?Coming to the situation at Bayern, does Julian Nagelsmann show a preference for more senior players? Is the 4-2-2-2 getting exposed, or does the drop-in form have nothing to do with Nagelsmann’s preferred setup?Loads of questions out there, sure, and that is precisely what Schnitzel, Samrin, and Tom are here to dissect in this podcast. The following is a list of the major talking points:What Tom thinks the issue is with Germany at the momentSchnitzel’s scathing views on Timo Werner starting upfront for GermanyIs Jonas Hofmann at RB actually a bad idea?What the go-to attack should be for Germany in the World CupThe underperforming midfieldBayern Munich’s poor form coinciding with Germany’s... bad luck or something more?Nagelsmann’s ‘alleged’ penchant for picking senior playersThe 4-2-2-2 formation... the real deal or a hindrance?Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up-to-date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.
