I wrote about Bayern having problems in defense after the game with Dynamo - yes, they scored 9 goals, but to concede two goals from the weakest opponent on their home field is a bad sign. Now the situation is even worse - on average the team concede 1 goal per game. I don't know how much the high defense is to blame for this, Bayern have always played quite high (although they were able to deliberately give the initiative to the opponent in order to lure them out), they need to raise their level of play in general.
I am completely disappointed with Bayern's performance this season. They have been a total failure, and you don't even want to watch them. What happened to the team? How is this possible? If I were a fan, I would start making claims against the coaching staff. They urgently need to be reviewed. The team doesn't need any more of this disgrace. How much patience does it take to watch a team lose even to weak opponents on its own field?

I don't know what you're talking about, definitely not Bayern  Grin
Bayern have zero defeats in the Bundesliga. And in general their affairs are normal, I am only worried (and happy haha ​​because I want intrigue in the Bundesliga) that in serious games Bayern have very modest results, if it continues like this then Kane will not see a single title again  Grin

In fact, Bayern Munich dominated the match but strangely, Eintracht Frankfurt still managed to score three goals and managed to hold Bayern Munich to a draw. Because at least, this is not the Champions League and only the Bundesliga where Bayern Munich has a very large dominance, but Bayern Munich still failed to win even though they had good dominance from the first half and the second half. I think, when the score had become 2-3 in the second half I thought that score would be the final result in this match, because I was sure Bayern Munich would win from the start.

But yes, maybe this is also proof that Eintracht Frankfurt this season does have very good results and performance, so that it also makes Eintracht Frankfurt in the top three of the Bundesliga standings, but previously Eintracht Frankfurt was right below Bayern Munich which is currently placed by Leipzig who won narrowly against Heidenheim.
I was thinking that because they lost to Aston Villa in the champions league, they will not want to lose to Frankfurt but I guess we underestimated the hosts and it was kinda funny how they frustrated every effort of Bayern Munich and now eyes will be on Vincent Kompany because now things are getting tougher is not the time to be struggling for draws or be losing games since one wrong move can be costly.
It is indeed a trying time for Vincent Kompany considering the fact that he started  season very well. How he will navigate through this period will give us a clue to how he will finish the season. They still have a good chance to make the season great; the draw of Bayern Leverkusen last weekend is to their advantage as it helped in reducing any gap that would have existed between them. In addition, despite the loss to Aston Villa, they will still advance in the Champions league because they can hold Barcelona to a draw.
The defeat from Aston Villa in the Champions League obviously surprised us but on the other hand we also have to realize that Aston Villa is currently not a team to be underestimated, while the draw against Frankfurt clearly shows that they still have weaknesses in the defensive line, besides that actually throughout the match Munich actually performed quite well and was able to lead over Frankfurt,  however, losing focus in the final minute had to punish them with failed to maintain victory in the match, although their current squad is quite good, but Kompany needs to find a way to restore his team performance to remain competitive in all competitions they participate.

His first season coaching a big team is certainly a pretty tough challenge that Kompany has to face, but so far they are still quite consistent in the league without defeat, the draw against Bayern Leverkusen does give a slight advantage and also proves for Kompany that he when very doubtful that he can bring Bayern Munich better, the defead from aston villa cannot be a reference for us to underestimate Munich in the match against Barcelona, because I think both teams have the same chance of winning the match later, but it will depend a lot with the strategy of the two coaches.

Bayern Munich results aren't that top. They indeed scored a lot of goals in some matches but they used to win more than that. Six rounds finished until now and Bayern Munich already got 2 draws. Luckily Bayer Leverkusen doesn't have a winning strike again otherwise it will be a hard season this time also.
By the way this round is upsetting for all top teams with an only exception for Leipzig which made a victory.
I think Bayern Munich performance is not really conditioned even though in several previous matches they showed very extraordinary game and achieved success by winning big, they have not been able to perform consistently and stably for now.
But the competition is still ongoing and what Bayern Munich has obtained is still safe result because they are not left behind by the teams below them, while Bayern Munich is still at the top of the standings even though they have suffered two draws against Leverkusen and also Eintracht Frankfurt.
But for Leipzig and Leverkusen, it can be admitted that Leipzig performance is really very satisfying and they are also team that can match Bayern Munich in terms of points and without defeat, it just that no one knows what Leipzig will appear like next.

Honestly, i didn't really expect a better start from Bayern Munich cause I doubted this present coach couldn't better than Thomas Tuchel based on he coached relegated team in the EPL but I think I fancy what the former Manchester City legend (Kompany) is doing at Bayern Munich currently, this is his first time to coach a top club and so far his stats is impressive with them, even he's got several draw like you guys think, 4 win and 2 draws in 6 games is not a bad one, he didn't draw against smaller teams in the league he drew against Leverkusen that's the defending champions and Eintracht Frankfurt, that's had an impressive start so far in this current season, atleast they're still unbeaten and they're toping the league which is very important. Kompany just need to ensure that he doesn't lose any match at this early stages or allow either Leipzig or Leverkusen get past them on the standings. Well, it's still too early to decide but it's going to be very tough for Bayern Munich to contend against this current inform Leipzig team and the defending champions Leverkusen.

We can't underestimate the host Eintracht Frankfurt has performed impressively this season so even though he finds a tough opponent he will face it with enthusiasm especially after knowing that Bayern Munich lost to Aston Villa it must have given Eintracht Frankfurt the opportunity to make it difficult for Bayern Munich and try to find Bayern Munich's weaknesses and finally they were able to do it being able to hold Bayern Munich to a draw is a pretty good result and the same as what Leverkusen did. Yes, currently Vincent Kompany must be in an uncomfortable state, he must be worried that his club will experience a decline because the points difference is getting thinner, 1 mistake could shift Bayern Munich's position at the top.

Totally agree with what you said and I will also see how Bayern Munich plays when hosting Freiburg at the Allianz Arena because the Freiburg team has also been able to win in their first match this season and is also ranked first in the Bundesliga. So I think the next match for Bayern Munich will definitely be quite fierce because Freiburg is also not a weak team in the Bundesliga although I don't think Freiburg can win easily at the Allianz Arena later. Because Bayern Munich will definitely try hard to win at their home ground.
Seeing the strength that Munich has, of course there will be no doubt for them not to be able to achieve this victory, Kompany will certainly be even more impressive next week, but Freiburg will certainly do something special for the team and also its fans because in the first match they managed to win with a very convincing score over the guest Stuttgard, of course this will be a difficult match for Munich too. Seeing the latest developments from Freiburg, I think Kompany will have difficulty scoring goals or winning because Freiburg is a solid club in the Bundesliga so it cannot be underestimated and I am sure Freiburg will also give a surprise to the host Munich, I think this will be a tough start for Kompany and his team.
Bayern Munich this season will be aiming for the Bundesliga trophy after last season failing to defend the title in a row for more than ten years, because Leverkusen performed very impressively. But under coach Kompany this season Bayern Munich has new motivation to be able to dominate the Bundesliga again. Indeed, Bayern Munich's first match almost got a draw but I think Kompany has improved the team to be more creative in the front line so that it will be easy to score goals and of course Kompany will also continue to improve the back line so that the defense is more solid.

Although Freiburg is a dark horse team in the Bundesliga and they also started the season well after they managed to win over Stuttgart, visiting the Allianz Arena is not an easy task for them. Moreover, in the last meeting at the Allianz Arena, Freiburg suffered a crushing 3-0 defeat. So in my opinion, even though Freiburg this season comes with new strength and spirit and can be a threat to Bayern Munich, I am sure Bayern Munich will win this match. Moreover, in terms of squad, Bayern Munich is superior to Freiburg, so my prediction is that Bayern will win 3-1 in this match.

That's the main reason of Bayern Munich used a new coach and they got Tuchel fired from the team because they wanted to have better results in this season and now thanks to Kompany they have had good results so far.
Now, Bayern Munich has the chance to get back to the place it had been during the last few years.

This match missed my prediction, I was sure Bayern Munich would win over Frankfurt. Statistically Bayern Munich dominated the match, they also excelled tactically. A total of 24 shots, 13 of which were on target, 5 big chances, 1 hit the goalpost. In the home team's camp, they didn't have as many chances as Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich even had 74% possession of the ball. Bayern should have won this match if Frankfurt's goalkeeper hadn't performed brilliantly, he made 10 saves. Meanwhile, Neuer's performance was underperformed. I don't think this match is related to Aston Villa's match in the UCL, because Munich really has to keep their points distance from their rival team. Munich's game is quite slick and creative, unfortunately there is something lacking in the strategy, tactics or something that Kompany implemented based on my opinion and observation. Kane usually always scores goals in almost every match, currently he has only been able to score 5 goals from 6 matches with Bayern in the Bundesliga. Well, Kompany still needs to adjust to his system and strategy so that it runs properly. he also has to pay attention to his defense line, because in almost every match they play Bayern at least Bayern concedes 1 goal. next, full points over Stuttgart are the results they must achieve at the Allianz Arena, their home base.

Bayern had a phenomenal start, but now that they have 2 points in 3 games (Bayer, Aston Villa, Eintracht) I think we can admit that they are not as strong as they seemed at first.



Bayern was strong in offense, but they're too vulnerable in defense. They should tell their coach, Kompany, to be even more careful with his high-line defense. It's clear their backs were moving up. It let their opponent counter-attack them at full strength. And Frankfurt successfully equalized the score in the late game. It's all due to their high-line defense.

They were overconfident to play on a half-pitch and forgot their own pitch. And that's what's going to happen when they combine it with their high-line defense. All in all, Kompany doesn't seem learn from their past mistake.

This is a disappointing result for Bayern Munich because they had to lose their victory when the match time was at the end, whether this was their bad luck or something else, because they played very well.
I question whether this was bad luck or not because I saw them very fragile in defense. Just imagine they had 24 additions and 13 of them were on target and 3 became goals. However, Frankfurt could only make 6 shots, 4 of which were on target and they successfully created 3 goals so they managed to avoid defeat. If you look at the match statistics, then they should have won, but the results say otherwise.
Both teams played well in this match and match was not one sided and audience enjoyed this match very much and got the match as they expected. Marmoush played very well in this match and he created pressure on opponent team by doing 2 goals. He did his goal at 22 minutes his team needed that and after he did goal at 90+4 minutes of the match . He saved his team his team from lose and whole credit goes to that player because overall performance of Bayern team was brilliant and they were ahead in everything but that player changed the match in last minutes. KIM  did first goal of the match and after Upamecano did second goal of his team at 38 minutes and after we saw healthy competition but no team could win this match after good competition.

Bayern had a phenomenal start, but now that they have 2 points in 3 games (Bayer, Aston Villa, Eintracht) I think we can admit that they are not as strong as they seemed at first. They had 3 serious opponents and they got 2 points. I am happy about this in the sense that we will most likely see an interesting competitive season in the Bundesliga again and not boring dominance of Bayern.
When a team does worse than what they started with, that doesn't mean they became bad, it is the same team, and as far as I know they do not have any injury for a star player or something, so we shouldn't really be worried about them. They are still the same team that had the start and they are not that bad, I think they are doing fine and they should not be worried at all, we are going to see them do fine and still win the games and won't be that big of a deal.

I believe they will end up with title this season, I believe the early Bayern that we saw this season is the real one. Villa game was different from these because they actually faced a team from Europe, and those games are always difficult, plus Leverkusen is the last champions so that makes sense too, the only disappointing result to me is Frankfurt game and that happens, it's fine. As long as they play their game and not give up, they are going to recover and do fine, they won't be facing any trouble at all, we are going to do fine.

To be sincere, the last goal was not expected. It came very surprising, and the goalkeeper will not be able to do anything there, because the true pass that was given to Omar marmoush was really given, and he has the enough chance to play a nice shot that got him the last goal.
Yes, that's right, I thought Bayern Munich would win, at least 3-2, but Marmoush managed to equalize and that was really in the last minutes. What a frustrating match. With this draw, the number of points difference between clubs in the top Bundesliga rankings is not that far and is increasingly competitive. This will be even more interesting, their points in the first to 4th positions are very competitive and can change at any time if one of them slips and loses.

And also, with this result, Omar Marmoush became the top scorer in the Bundesliga with the current number of goals.

It can be said that Frankfurt is enough to play very neatly at his own cage, they do not make the guests regret the cage, Bayern Munich has a lot of must be pretty good because Frankfurt is unexpected to carry out an objective attack, a little chance for them but is still able to maximize themselves and say that they are really able to face Bayer Munich at home, according to Bayer Munich who has a very big chance, and the dominance of the game is very good, they cannot be superior to Frankfurt when speaking goals, 1 point for this week is more than enough for them than them back did not bring a single point.
I just want to ask in this match: Why did Harry Kane stop scoring? If you are wondering the same thing as me, we will discuss all of that. less than Bayern Munich but Bayern Munich can drop to the bottom of the points table at any time. If Bayan Munich continues to lose points then it will be difficult for them to win the Bundesliga title this season as well.


https://bayernstrikes.com/posts/bayern-munich-suffer-injury-blows-3-3-draw-against-eintracht-frankfurt
@legendbtc, Kane was not in good condition during the match.

@Jody.Drummer, just when it was looking like Bayern Munich was going to win the match by making a good comeback, Frankfurt was able to score in the 95th minute of the match and take one point from this match in the injury time. Right now Bayern Munich is still at the top of the table but there is no point difference between them and Leipzig. I also told people to wait and not jump to conclusions that the coach is going to be great for Bayern Munich because people were praising him a little too much when he was winning by huge difference with Bayern Munich.

Just imagine they had 24 additions and 13 of them were on target and 3 became goals

You don’t have to imagine that because Bayern Munich was actually in the last match against Frankfurt  Grin. Is there a chance that this team is going to perform below average or at least not as expected from them? Smiley

Many neutral Bundesliga fans would be happy if the trophy race this season is competitive, regardless of who ends up winning it. Bayern Munich, who have looked unstable in the last 3 matches, in my opinion still have a better chance than the other 19 contestants. Of course it would be boring if Kompany squad eventually dominated the Bundesliga again, but for now, the fact is that they tend to be more favored.
Leverkusen, Dortmund, Leipzig actually also have the same chance, but they have to work extra hard to stay undefeated in the future, so they have the opportunity to overtake Bayern Munich at the top of the standings. It must be admitted, it is not an easy job, it takes a lot of luck to be able to win the trophy, when Bayern Munich performance is good.
Meanwhile, Leverkusen as the defending champion also looks to be experiencing unstable performance, maybe this is influenced by the pressure they get when playing in the Champions League.

They were overconfident to play on a half-pitch and forgot their own pitch. And that's what's going to happen when they combine it with their high-line defense. All in all, Kompany doesn't seem learn from their past mistake.

That's what finally shows the statistics that Munich is very strong in attack and also productive in scoring goals. but also often conceded. we can see in 6 matches, Munich made 20 goals, that's very productive compared to their competitors. but they also conceded 7 times. not a very bad defense, but we see teams that have managed to score goals against Munich this season.

Kompany uses such a strategy to put great pressure on the opponent's game. I think Xabi Alonso also used such a strategy at Leverkusen last season. the risk is the delay of the defender when having to ward off a quick counterattack.

I have post my thought before the match against Frankfurt begin yesterday that i was wondering whether Bayern Munich can able to managed their consistency or not because basically their performance a bit decline especially they had just lost from Aston Villa at Champion league and today Bayern Munich has performing dissapointing that they have to satisfied to get 1 point at Frankfurt home ground however i was amazed to see the performance of Omar Marmoush because he can make a brace and create 1 assist which make Bayern Munich has been failed to earn 3 points from this match

On the other hand i have seen Leipzig can successfully to extended their positive trend by beat Heidenheim with narrow score and this result is makes them has same points with Bayern Munich with 14 points but Leipzig only can occupy second place because in the term of goals records Bayern Munich is much better than them and until week 6 Leipzig also still able to managed their unbeated records in Bundesliga and Leipzig too has strong defensive lines because they only conceded 2 goals until today

Bayern had a phenomenal start, but now that they have 2 points in 3 games (Bayer, Aston Villa, Eintracht) I think we can admit that they are not as strong as they seemed at first.

I will not undermine Leverkusen much but it's happening as I predicted it, though I was cautious not to be emphatic about it because there could be an exception. With what happens now, it is looking like it is just as it was for the likes of Napoli and Leicester City, they could get the loudest ovation in a season but will not be able to maintain it.

Notwithstanding, something will be different about Leverkusen, it will not be as bad as the former ones mentioned, the club may not lift the Trophy this season but might secure its top position now and in subsequent seasons. Looking at the table, Leverkusen is not that bad at the standing, the top club Bayern leads by just 2 points, but Bayern still have 1 match-played deficient. If it wins again, it can't be more than 5 point lead. Leverkusen may still meet it and overtake, the club needs to fight with the spirit of last season.


It seems that Leverkusen can only make a surprise in one season, it is true that we cannot underestimate Leverkusen but at the beginning of this season we saw that Leverkusen was struggling even though they did not make many changes compared to last season.

The journey this season is still quite long and anything is still possible but at least we can measure the strength of several teams now and indeed Leverkusen's chances of competing for the title are still quite large and they are still favored to defend the title.
So I think whatever happens at the beginning of this season does not change the map of the competition for the Bundesliga title this season, I am sure it will still be quite fierce.
I think it will be different for Bayern Leverkusen this season, not sure they will be able to replicate that level of form they enjoyed last season again this season. Sometimes teams perform well in previous seasons only to struggle the next season and vice versa. Bayern Leverkusen could still make an impression by finishing second or top four but it will be very difficult for them to finish in first position at the end of the season.
