Hansi Flick
Love the way Jan puts over his points of view. One of the top football pundits.
I don't think a lot of people understand how good a season Bayern are actually having points and numbers wise. 2 defeats and 2 draws in 17 games.
Leverkusen are just having a record breaking season
Gab is Low-key Dan Thomas actually. when he has his own show.
Thank god Tuchel is finally getting criticism. He's so overprotected!
why they said nelgleman not good. in UCL he defeted barcelona and inter milan twice in group stage. inter milan reached final.
first half in bundeslliga was his contribution and there was no kane or lendowoski.
his defense was really strong.
Tuchel is the most overrated coach in the world. He got lucky to win UCL. Thank god Bayern took him. Papa Perez was ready to bring him. What a disaster that would be.
Controversial opinion? If the current Bayern was transplanted in the Prem, they'd be fighting for spots amongst ManU and Chelsea.
Who in their right mind would believe that Bayern would offer Kimmich in a deal for Mukiele? Check your sources lmao
Too many criticism to Bayern. They’re not doing THAT bad. It’s just that Leverkusen is doing extraordinarily well.
I've said it for over a year now. Tuchel is a not the right manager for this club. Sack him and find someone better!
Tuchel was claiming until two weeks before transfer end that Pavard was staying when they sent Stanisic to Neverkusen. Kimmich has been out of form since the Vax story.
Juliens is so shameless. He’s quick to run his mouth on other managers, now look at him making silly excuses for Tuchel. He’s been terrible at Bayern and he was terrible at the end at Chelsea.
Bayern are just not that good because they best players in tbe league are moving abroad instead of joining them. In the past Haland and others would have moved there which is not the case anymore
I have nothing against the guy but Tuchel looks like he's been having a panic attack since he got the job. He's freaking out all the time
ESPN have a short memory why Tuchel was fired from Chelsea. Boehly bought Cucurella, Koulibally, Aubamayang & so on at the request of Tuchel… they did not prioritize young players but listen to Tuchel. Tuchel got smashed by Arsenal in pre-season & he went on a psycho rant blaming Boehly, the players, everyone but him, he asked for more signings & said it's because he needs more players. He's doing the same thing at Bayern, continuation… he's targeting EPL players that are known to be washed like he bought Aubamayang & so on.
Tuchel should be Barca's coach. You're welcome for the most original take of the year.
SACK TUCHEL
The best way for Tuchel to fix bayern is to resign. He keeps playing people out of position and and slows down the team moving forward, minimizing the forward press. And all you have to do is look at his last transfer class at Chelsea when he was in charge and this one at Bayern, both of which he didn't have a sporting director making the decisions to realize his transfer choices are awful. At least Bayern didnt buy Cucurella.
He wanted a 100 million 30-year-old Striker and a 60 million 28 year old defensive midfielder. Ridiculous I know he wants a 33-year-old right back
No worries, Tuchel is after BIG trophy… UCL ! 😂
wow these guys are harsh. PEP has lost more games and drawn more games this season
Having clown Jan Aage Fjortoft as your Bundesliga expert is beyond laughable. Guy's takes are so dumb. His knowledge is based on caricature and silly gossips. His take on Kimmich is based around one silly rumour from clown source. He just takes its and runs into space with it. lol. Guy doesnt even know that Bayern have certain playing philosophy, style that was laid down by Van Gaal in 2009 and developed further by Heynckes and Guardiola. Uli Hoeness and Rumminige talked about it many times in interviews thanking Van Gaal for laying down foundation for long term success in 2010s. After deviations by Ancelotti and Kovac Flick restored clear positional play based on possession at Bayern. Nagelsmann continued with it. Now Tuchel is cosplaying Ancelotti or Kovac at Bayern.
Every Bayern fan can tell you that Tuchel's Bayern havent had any single good convincing game since Tuchel became the coach. Bayern have been playing dead football under Tuchel. Only thing he did at Bayern is transition/counterattack. Not much else. He basically turned Bayern into expensive Union and completely ignores game in possession. Bayern look absolutely idea-less in possession under Tuchel. and you dont need holding 6 to beat Werder. so its another lame excuse from Tuchel who incapable of developing players or getting best out of current squad that isnt worse than in past seasons but actually better in some positions. Tuchel regressed as coach and became lazy. Its that simple. Bayern must sack him if they want to avoid longterm consequences.
When they say anyone else has won it but Tuchel is second they completely ignore how insane Leverkusen is this season. There have been plenty of managers with worse seasons in the last eleven years. The only difference was that no other team in the league was good enough to punish it. This season Bayern's point ratio is actually one of the best ever but Leverkusens point ratio is just mad. I do agree actually that it was wrong to replace Nagelsmann with Tuchel but I would like it if sports journalists would be a little bit more precise in their analysis.
Also there is absolutely no denying that this squad is way to thin for a team that wants to win the league and the CL, there is no argument about that!
Tuchel is a fraud. Say it.
They should get rid of overrated players like kimmich, sane, Gnabry and goretzka
Kimmich to liverpool?
In this game conceding a goal wasn't the problem, that happens in almost every game for every club. Davies didn't play to his prime but tbf, if you watched the game, he also did good defensive work and won duels and stole the ball and ran down a breakaway that could've easily resulted in a goal. He also generated a couple of runs but passed it off and the other players immediately gave the ball away. Kimmich is in a bit of a slump but that also happens to every player. He also, even in a slump, has shown up big for the team throughout the past handful of games. Morale and development are part of it for both of them but that's obviously also not all just on the player.
Bremen was really good, they had their best game of the season, Weiser possibly the game of his career. He earned that goal and neither Davies or Neuer or the other three players standing there watching could stop him and only Davies tried. But again, that wasn't the problem. Other teams score against, Leverkusen, and City, and RM, and PSG, and Liverpool. There are no players who have never been scored on.
The problem in this game was poor morale and that they didn't adapt tactically. Everyone was jogging during the counterattack and giving the ball away all game and there was consistently no offense. At all. Offensively they completely shat the bed. Musiala, sane, kane, coman, subs, etc generated nothing, other than attempts by goretzka and tel. And tel will just shoot and shoot and shoot no matter what happens. Had he passed the ball on any of his chances maybe they could have drawn level. Tbf he at least tried to do something, but either way they all collectively didn't.
Morale and Tactics both ultimately fall on the coach in this game, they were not prepared mentally and they didn't adapt tactically. Neither should be permanent problems. The question is can he can prevent this happening for an additional fourth or fifth time during the rest of the season or was/is he the wrong person to manage this team? If so, that's on the board.
I love Gab an jules
Podcast so much better than stevie and Ali who doesn't really make much sense sometimes. Just bash players an say anything for a wagee
Gab is just so unlikeable. How can this dude be allowed on ESPNFc
tuchel it’s not the right coach for bayern his play worse sack him Uli bring o to Hansi
Bayern was flying in the champions league ..they sacked the coach brought in tuchel they got kicked out ..they barely won the league after tuchel took over if not for dortmund fumbling ..the were kicked out of the cup as well ..so I’m really trying to understand why they didn’t keep nagelsmann and provide him with Kane ?
Lets give leverkusen some credit.
Why do these still sit as if its still covid 😂😂
Bayern hasn’t been playing anything this season. They seem to always get stuck and the coach has no answers. Sack TUCHEL and bring in someone that will really help the players use their full potentials.
Harry Kane has the worst luck in Football history 😂
germany bad bayern bad
midfield need reset
offense usually scores lot of goals defense usually solid. need holding and 6 8. hard to let go of german stars but kimmich goreztka laimer gotta go. use the young energy and get new players. need holding midfielder asap. if something happens to city RODRI KDB 😂😂😂😂
