Solely two extra video games left in 2023.
Preliminary reactions and observations
- Okay Tommy T, that was fairly good. Bayern Munich performed a ruthlessly environment friendly recreation that shut Sttuttgart down utterly. Serhou Guirassy may as properly have been a ghost for the quantity of service he acquired — Seb Hoeneß’s free scoring aspect had been unable to discover a chink in Tuchel’s protection regardless of having the vast majority of possession.
- Harry Kane and Thomas Müller performed up prime in what regarded like a 4-2-2 formation fairly than the usual 4-2-3-1. Apparently, it appeared that Müller was the person up prime with Kane dropping deep.
- Müller as soon as once more proved how essential he’s to Bayern’s attacking setup. Apart from organising the primary purpose of the sport, he orchestrated the press and stored linking key moments throughout counterattacking conditions. That is the function for him.
- Pavlović had a masterclass in midfield. The teenager has made a reliable declare on the beginning spot if Tuchel’s choice is honest.
- You may’t inform that these defenders had been all the identical ones (bar Laimer) who conceded 5 to Eintracht every week in the past. Exhibits what a distinction a very good defensive setup could make. Two strains of 4 snuffed Stuttgart out utterly. If that is how Tuchel needs his crew to evolve, the bones of a system are there.
Full time: Bayern Munich win 3-0.
88’ — Sub: Kratzig comes on for Alphonso Davies, who went down injured.
63’ — GOOOOOOOOOOAL! Kim Min-jae makes it 3-0 from a nook.
55’ — GOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Kane makes it 2-0 from a nook!
45’ — The second half kicks off!
Halftime: Bayern Munich lead 1-0.
45’ — Müller’s purpose is dominated offside by VAR, and it stays 1-0.
25’ — VAR guidelines out a Kim Min-jae purpose. Was it offside? Who is aware of.
2’ — GOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Kane makes it 1-0!
Kickoff: We’re underway!
One hour till kickoff: We now have lineups! Large shock as Bayern Munich begin with out each Joshua Kimmich AND Leon Goretzka, because of obvious flu-like signs. It seems like Guerreiro and Pavlović are in midfield with Konrad Laimer at right-back. Thomas Müller, Jamal Musiala, Leroy Sané, and Harry Kane all begin as anticipated.
MATCHDAY! With a tumultuous calendar yr coming to a detailed, Bayern Munich look to finish 2023 on a excessive be aware. Narrowing the hole with Bayer Leverkusen stays the chief purpose, nevertheless it’s simpler mentioned than completed.
With the squad severely depleted after various accidents in midweek, Thomas Tuchel should navigate a recreation towards some of the in-form groups within the league. Former Bayern II supervisor and Uli Hoeneß’s nephew Sebastian Hoeneß has turned a crew that was a relegation candidate final yr into one that’s higher soccer than anybody bar Leverkusen.
Serhou Guirassy and Harry Kane are duking it out on the prime of the scoring charts this yr, however the Englishman has hit a brick wall in latest weeks because of an general offensive decline within the crew. If Bayern Munich wish to get again to profitable methods, Kane wants service from his teammates — which suggests gamers like Jamal Musiala, Leroy Sané, and probably Thomas Müller — all must step as much as the plate and ship, supplied that the coach lets them.
It’s Bayern time.
