De Ligt was one of Bayern's best players last season. Tuchel is proving how weird he is day-in-day out. He won't last long at Bayern. He is not good enough for Bayern.
As a Bayern fan. Tuchel can't get the best out of what he has. Which literally every other coach in history has to do no matter how good they are. He has one formation. 11 specific players. Etc and he'll never accept anything else. Don't give him exactly what he wants he won't win you a game. Do y'all know how absurd this is
Pls sell de ligt to man utd
He will get scaked if he carries on with the terrible football and the mismanagement of actually the good players
Tuchel is not a fan of Müller, de ligt, kimmich and goretzka. Why did he take the job in the first place?
I got a idea! Lets trade Maguire for De Ligt.. that is a good idea. Bayern, United got a awesome deal for you!
Espn bringing up bild waffling and make it a big deal out of eat 😂
Upamequaire 😂😂😂,Tuchel Will be sack for 2 myb 3 months..
Why did ESPN cut Jan's take on why he picked Leverkussen?? 🤔
Boniface is good but his passing and decision making is poor IMO. From what I saw, there’s A LOT OF ROOM for improvement.
Tuchel out, he is not good
I have never been a fan of mathis de ligt ….i alwayz fill like he is overhyped…
United! United! United!
Atletico Madrid, would be the perfect team for De Ligt.
Man United take this chance and bring De Ligt to Old Trafford and give Ten Hag his another former player.
He will be a big addition to United in terms of Leadership & skill.
Anyway he is not playing in Bayern.
Football style has changed. De ligt is the like the classic centreback in the 90s. Tall and hit the ball from a distance to goal. Dangerous in the box when his team gets a corner.
But Upamacano is faster and plays the ball with his feet quite fast. Yes, he made many errors towards the end of the season ,esp against Man City who benefited big time from his errors. But he has improved at the start of the season and is a solid pairing with Kim Min Jae. Nowdays you get more fast fowards instead of the usual huge target men upfront like in the 90s or 2000s.
If you look at Upamacano's record against Lewanodwski and Haaland in the Bundeliga, he did a fine job. He just slagged off after the world cup in 2022. Before that, he literally marked Lewandowski and prevented Barca from even scoring against Bayern at the UCL last season.
Boniface is a exciting striker. Will be watching this.
De ligt passing might not be good… it can be improved..
But he is way more defensive than upamaguire..
Here is the cold facts that us as De Ligt fans have to accept. Right now he is the youth centerback essentially lol. Its amazing how talented but hea about to be 23 this year. Right now, even tho Upa had a bad end of the season, he is the best guy we have with the ball at his feet and hes the only one of our defenders who prefer to play on the right.
As a hardcore, fanatic Bayern Munich fan, Thomas Tuchel will need to stay at his own place and manage the players that he have in his repertoire. Remember, with the chaos and comedy of not securing Palhinha, we could be lacking a key midfielder in our Bayern squad. And with that, if he becomes more dramatic that he doesn't like this guy and that guy, sooner or later, he's going to face the sack if Bayern doesn't produce results (either domestically or Champions League) and I honestly would welcome Hansi Flick back with open arms!
I wish I could get a read on Tuchel, is he elite or not? I somehow think he'll always have man management issues that other coaches at his level would not have.
This os a good problem for Bayern having 3 world class defenders and one of them is in the bench? Ohhh what a drama 😂😂. Season is very long and having great depth is something great
I predict leverkusen 2-0
My humble point of view: Bayerns trusts and appreciates de Ligt. Absolutely and without a doubt. Do remember that 3 world class CBs in a squad is both: Luxury and necessity. Especially for bayern with tons of matches in a season. Kim, upamecano and de ligt will all get their game time. Just think about the drama if one gets injured severly… and de ligt is just back from injury. All three will do well and I hope they are ready when it comes to CL crunch time 👍💪👍💪👍
Bring him to LFC
I love these guys because they are funny but their analysis are the worst. Deligt was injured that's why Upa played in the beginning. Now that he's fit Tuchel doesn't want to rush him back for 90minutes, especially when Upa does a very good job. It's a long season, they will figure it out eventually
Man Utd will be all over De Ligt next season
I think and hope within two years MDL will end up at real madrid
De Ligt clear of Upamecano but he'll escape unscathed..De Ligt clear of that French Harry Maldini
Tuchel's Bayern ain't winning this game
TT talks tooo much
Under him Bayern Have done NOTHING
de Ligt > Upamecano
I Watch usg every week. There are more players there to watch out for.
Anytime I've seen Upamecano play he's been an absolute riot. No idea how he's first choice for Bayern and France
De light is one of the worst player I’ve ever seen. So overrated. He gets benched everywhere for a reason
De Ligt was benched in the beginning of last season before reclaiming his starting spot and never looking back. He’ll be back and even better.
de Ligt is average to good. Hugely over rated Dutch player. Similar to how people raved about Kluivert as if he had world class athleticism or technique. 😅
Him and his Ajax buddy Franky de junk been trash and overrated for years
