Bayern Munich

Bayern returns to Bundesliga action on the 5th of February when they Wolfsburg away from home and then VFL Bochum at the Allianz Arena on the 11th of February. And considering the German giants have a lead of just one point over second-placed RB Leipzig, securing three points becomes a necessity. Julian Nagelsmann’s team had a jaw-dropping run until the showdown in Qatar embarking on a 10-game winning streak.

The club needs to find their star striker this summer, because Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting doesn't cut it long-term.

For me, Choupo is exactly the same quality of player that Claudio Pizarro was in his second stint with Bayern. Germany has also been struggling since the retirement of Miroslav Klose and Mario Gomez with no other forward being good enough to solidify that attack. One of the reasons why Thomas Müller has been one of the best players in the world over the last decade is that he was always able to flex off to find space off of forwards who were good enough to force teams into a minimum of man-marking plus another defender shadow-marking them.

I can play my game and try to find the players up front on the pitch and hope they can excel the game to a chance or anything. “I think I prefer to play in the center of the pitch. Per the interview, Blind was “third in the Dutch Eredivisie for completed through balls (44.4%), fourth for completed passes into the final third (88.5%), first for progressive passes per 90 minutes (23.1) and second for completion rate in that category (90.6%)” — he’s very much in the profile of a defender who can be heavily involved in build-up. Sometimes it can maybe be a discussion point, but I always see it as a strength that I can adapt in different ways. I think that’s sometimes really a strong point of a player. Hernández was the starting left-sided center-back for the Bavarians, and also the second option to cover at left-back for Alphonso Davies.

Daichi Kamada’s pass was sensational on the play and it was a tough spot for Dayot Upamecano, who just couldn’t contain Kolo Muani. I think he definitely has some room for growth in his game before he will be ready to be a consistent starter. - I’ve said it before and I’ll reiterate it: I’m getting a little concerned about the lack of development in the game of Alphonso Davies.

The Eintracht Frankfurt Frenchmen is highly sought after and isn't closed off to a future move to the Rekordmeister.

But at the moment, he is 100% focused on Eintracht Frankfurt, we have a lot of respect for the club.” From Bayern manager Julian Nagelsmann’s perspective, Kolo Muani could prove to be his quintessential versatile number nine — but for now, he’s just one possibility of many. Eintracht Frankfurt and France international Randal Kolo Muani has quickly made himself one of Europe’s most highly sought after strikers with his performances this season for both club and country.

The team’s recent string of draws does not have the boss deterred, but watching it play out is still rough, even for the CEO. Three consecutive draws — all in winnable games — shows that not everything is in sync in Bavaria.

"We had three or four big chances that we might have actually made the most of before Christmas," Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann told Sky.

“It was a hard-fought derby. It was close over 90 minutes. Earlier on Saturday, Union took the lead away to Hertha late in the first half through Dutch defender Danilho Doekhi, who headed in a free-kick from captain Christopher Trimmel. Bayern continued to push for a second goal after the break but Frankfurt, who had only lost once in their previous 11 games in all competitions dating back to early October, looked dangerous on the break. After the goal, Bayern rekindled their early season form and produced their best spell of the match, with France defender Dayot Upamecano going close to doubling their lead just three minutes later. Bayern Munich saw their lead in the Bundesliga cut to just one point on Saturday after Randal Kolo Muani’s equaliser held the German champions to a 1-1 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt.

“We wanted to break the spell and we staged a good first half. Frankfurt made our life difficult in the second half. Bayern staged a slow start into the second half and had to wait until the 60th minute before Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting came close.

The Bayern Munich manager is remaining calm...at least on the outside. By TeddySonMaverick Jan 29, 2023, 6:00pm CET.

If it’s the latter...well, we’ll get to that later. One would think Nagelsmann would prefer to use the word “crisis” to describe, say, what’s been going on in the Ukraine for the past decade. It has to be a tough job to maintain serenity in such circumstances. If it’s the former, Nagelsmann will have been very right in downplaying the “crisis” term. If that was the case, credit to him for trying to reassure the fans and the team that everything will be alright. We want to play better, but talking about a crisis is too far.”
