2023/24 German Leagues - On beIN Sports (DFB-Pokal on Optus)

On paper Bayern have a pretty good squad.


Front 3 and CBs particularly strong.


They need to move on from Neuer, Muller & guys like Choupo Moting. But the base is there for a strong team.

On paper sure. But the collective unity isn’t there. Neuer and Müller are far more important than Kimmich, Goretzka and Sane, who bring poor mentality to the squad. Upamecano is very sketchy for his price tag. De Ligt is good but never plays. They’re absolutely not the Bayern of the mid 2010’s

 

[Upstart Swan]

Great. Now we have a lame duck manager for the rest of the season. Surely even a caretaker manager is better than a guy who seems to have alienated half the squad.
(Happy to eat my words if we win the Champions League and/or finish ahead of Leverhusen).

Gladbach *2-0 up on Bochum. Watch this, Bayern. It isn't hard.


*Just scored an incredibly dubious penalty for the 2nd. Even as a Gladbach fan I have no idea why VAR let it stand.

 

[Spirit Level]

St Pauli now 6 points ahead on top of the table and at least 7 points ahead of 3rd

Promotion awaits!

You would've just about crowned Leverkusen if Kane hadn't scored that late goal

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

More dropped points for Bayern

Lucky to scrape a draw against a team that had lost 4 of its last 5 games. What a rabble we've turned into...

 

[moomba]

They've given up on any hopes of the title by keeping Tuchel on until the end of the season.

Thanks Poch.

Thanks Poch.

I have never been more disappointed by a Twitter headline.

Im sure you have.

Im sure you have.

Bloody clickbaity. I expected to see a RVN type solo goal but got that instead.

Did RVN score a goal from further than 3 yards out?

Tap in merchant.

The one against Fulham was a run from lots and lots of yards out. Not sure how many though.

The best poacher I've seen.

To show how well Leverkusen are playing.
Bayern have more points than this time last season and only need to win 5 of the last 12 matches to reach the points they won last seasons league title with.

Yet would likely need to win out from here to have any chance of winning the league.

 

[RPCB]

Bayer Leverkusen has more points right now than Bayern Munich managed last seasons. There are 7 matches to go. Really impressive season they are having.

They probably still love it because they halt Bayern, but Dortmund has been unable to beat for so long is probably cost them multiple titles and the one year it doesn't matter they slap em

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Just need 9 points from last 7 games to win it. Stuttgart wins tomorrow they’re just one point behind Bayern. Incredible turnaround considering they finished third last last season

Looks like Bayern have given up. Will be good to see a different winner of the Bundesliga (should've been Dortmund last season, too)

Last time Dortmund won at Bayern was 2014. We could always count on a home win against Dortmund but even that's too hard now.

 

[Ed_Gein]

I gotta add, it's great seeing Alonso doing well as a manager, but how many times have Leverkusen bailed themselves out with goals in injury time? It's like the Collingwood comebacks of the last two years. Can't be sustainable?
