Thank god that’s over. Bayern Munich just got hammered by VfL Bochum in what was probably one of the worst performances from the season. Naturally this has the fanbase feeling rather upset, so here’s a postgame show that’s more of a rant than our usual standard fare. Please bear with us.Here are the talking points from the game:Talking about everything that went wrong with the lineup — this weird 4-1-4-1 with one midfielder.The massive problem that is Dayot Upamecano and the Bayern defense.A recap on the virtues of Alphonso Davies and why Nagelsmann desperately misses him.Why a one-man midfield was a bad idea (featuring Captain Obvious).How Nagelsmann has isolated Robert Lewandowski and neutered Bayern’s attack.Why the pressing has gotten so much worse under Nagelsmann.Why I am not actually hating on the coach.The problem with experimentation and unpredictability in the Champions League.Why is Nagelsmann not giving chances to younger players?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.

Bayern Munich has had an absolutely wild week off-the-pitch and things were even complicated with the team’s health as Jamal Musiala tested positive for COVID-19, while Sven Ulreich had a scare — before testing negative.There are certainly enough reasons for the squad to be distracted against VfL Bochum, so Julian Nagelsmann will be tested. Can the manager keep his players focused on the task at hand (VfL Bochum)? Or, will the team be distracted by the transfer drama surrounding Niklas Süle, next Wednesday’s Champions League showdown with Red Bull Salzburg, or the creeping thoughts about missing players like Manuel Neuer and Jamal Musiala?Regardless, this is what we have on tap:A look at the recent form of each team.A chance for players like Sven Ulreich and potentially Paul Wanner to shine.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.

Wow...so the news finally dropped and Bayern Munich fans had to feel stunned that it became official: Niklas Süle is transferring to Bundesliga rival Borussia Dortmund during the summer transfer window.Join us as we react to the deal and how we feel like it all got to this point. At one point, Süle seemed fit to play the role of generational center-back for both Bayern Munich and Germany, but something went off the rails along the way.What led Süle to move to Borussia Dortmund — especially when his salary might be the same as he was offered at Bayern Munich? What happened to the rumored big pay days that were going to be on the way from clubs like Chelsea FC or Newcastle United? Most importantly, how did we get to this point, where the player who has arguably been the team’s best defender will leave for free?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.

Bayern Munich dispatched RB Leipzig with a 3-2 victory in front of 10,000 fans at the Allianz Arena. Julian Nagelsmann chose to start his team in the same back-three setup that got a resounding win against Hertha Berlin last month, but the results were a little more mixed this time round. Leipzig, as the most in-form team in 2022, gave Bayern a real scare multiple times in the game, managing to equalize twice before an own goal from Gvardiol eventually gave all three points to the home side. In this special two-person postgame analysis, Ineednoname and Schnitzel discuss:The lineup chosen by the coach, including a back-and-forth over the back three. The big problems with the defense at the moment — has Nagelsmann improved it at all? Serge Gnabry and Kingsley Coman as wingbacks, and whether that’s a good idea. The problem with ball progression and the attack at the moment. How many players have been extreme inconsistent this season. Why Nagelsmann doesn’t seem to want to sub players anymore. What do we want from a Bayern Munich coach?
