Yes it has been an exciting and an impressive start to the season for Vincent Kompany and the boys, one thing I have notice in world football now is even if you’re a good team just make sure you start off early because when the season gets matured then there is going to be difficult moments but ones you can gather this points early it mostly motivate teams, although I wouldn’t say Bayern Munich are going to take back their crown for now because they are yet to face any real test yet but if they do and maybe overcome then we can say that they are clear candidates, for now we will just see them as first movers


Seriously Bayer Leverkusen might not have had a bad start to the season but they obviously haven’t had a great start to the season if you ask me, I expect them to get all points available even I don’t see them going unbeaten this Season but at least take maximum points before the meeting with Bayern Munich but now they need to be at their best and still expect the Bayern Munich team to drop points.

For the champions league game I think you might have mistaken as their first match isn’t against Arsenal but away to Feynoord in few minutes time, I expect them to win this as there more difficult games than this to come later so they have to make a statement start to their return to champions league with a win

Kompany and Alonso are two young coaches and both have minimal experience in coaching, but so far Alonso has proven his ability to make Leverkusen win the championship last season although he must to build a squad with limited finances, do not have star players in the squad makes many doubt if Leverkusen is able to do miracles in the Bundesliga but in the end Alonso is able to prove that even a mid-table team is able to become a champion if handled by A talented coach, compared to Alonso, of course Kompany is luckier at the moment by handling a big team with finances and also a fairly good squad quality, but behind this luck is the burden that Kompany has in bringing Bayern Munich back to dominate the Bundesliga is clearly greater than Alonso so far, since coaching Leverkusen, Alonso has never been charged with high targets by the management considering that the status and quality of the team they have is not as great as Bayern Munich or Dortmund in the league, while Bayern Munich of course immediately charged Kompany with the Bundesliga trophy and Champions League this season for them to get if they do not want to be sacked at the end of the season later.

Why will the management of Bayern think of pushing out Kompaby when since he started his job, he hasn't lost any game but keeps proving that he is capable of the job with good results from his previous matches. It is too early to start prasing Kompany because no one knows if he will continue in this form till the end of the season.

I don't want to compare him with Xabi Alonso because they are far different from each other and whoever is comparing them is too quick to do that. The reason is simple, Xabi has won the legaue unbeaten with average players that he turned into good players.

Kompany just started and can never finish unbeaten with all the superstars that he has, he hasn't won anything yet so why the comparism.

They can show impressive performance along with very good goal productivity, so that it makes them able to easily win the match with a very convincing score of 9-2. Whether this is too much or not, but they deserve to be appreciated for what they achieved in the first match of the Champions League this season. Vincent Kompany can implement the strategy very well and his players can execute it very well too, I hope this is not temporary, but they can maintain consistency throughout the season. Indeed, it certainly will not be easy because every match they will play will be a challenge for them. Not to mention if they have internal problems, such as a storm of injuries that come, but I hope that doesn't happen.

We are already seeing the work of the Bayern Munich coach in the champions League as his first performance saw his team scoring 9goals in the game. Vincent Kompany has started well already with his team winning their first 4 league games and a champions League game this is a proof that they are getting better even as they will need to return to winning the domestic league which Bayer Leverkusen took from them last season.

For the Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso, his team may not have won all their league matches but they are not doing bad in the league despite not being able to win all their league matches they were able to bounce back after losing against RB Leipzig. Leverkusen is up against Arsenal at home in the champions League tonight I believe Xabi Alonso will definitely prepare his team in order to get the desired results using his experience in the champions League.

Besides Gittens, Kobel also performed brilliantly in guarding Borussia Dortmund's goal and he made five saves. In last night's match, Sabitzer's performance was not so good, fortunately Nuri Sahin quickly made the right decision to take him out and put in Jamie Gittens. Like a match made in heaven, eight minutes later Dortmund was able to break through the opposing team's goal, Gittens was able to take advantage of the narrow space to shoot and he was able to convert it into a goal. Ten minutes later, he scored his second goal. Guirssy also almost had a chance to score a goal, but he was brought down first. Well, a penalty was given to him to be converted into Dortmund's third goal. Almost overall Dortmund played very well, it's just that Sabitzer and Donyell Malen who were the center forwards in last night's match couldn't play as well as their other teammates. Even so, Dortmund won this match with a fairly large score.
To be honest, this match was beyond my prediction. I mean, my guess was that Dortmund would only be able to win narrowly.

From what we are seeing already, Kompany is doing a great job in Bayern. Comparing to Xavi is acceptable but Kompany is brilliantly raising the standard for the club and we all can see the outcome, including the team's board. With all these i believe they as well trust him and the process, unbeaten in the first 3 matches in the Bundesliga with a considerable number of goals. The odds are in favor of Bayern to win this season Bundesliga title, the team is revived and even the most contender is yet to show enough workings. The season still has a long way, but Bayern remains the favorite based on their potentials as they've started the season.

I do not see the management in a haste to push out Kompany, he's doing better than what we experienced last season to be honest, I'm not seeing Bayern finish up this season without a trophy, winning just one alone will even extend his stay for more seasons.

I think if we compare the two young coaches Kompany with Xabi Alonso, coach Kompany still has more favorable conditions when owning a top Bundesliga team. With a star-studded squad, coach Kompany's job is simple, he just needs to help Bayern Munich regain their form. As for Xabi Alonso, he made the impossible possible, when he took a team that was relegated, and Xabi Alonso transformed the team to achieve the achievements they have today.
But in terms of pressure, I think coach Kompany will probably be the one under the most pressure. He is on the knife's edge, the Bayern Munich board can execute Kompany at any time. Just make a mistake.

Right, and maybe it can be said that this is the season of determination about who is stronger between Bayern Munich and Leverkusen, as you said and I also see the same thing that there is a change from the Bayern Munich camp now which I think is very right to say that now Bayern Munich has returned to its original performance even though as a team that has just had a new coach they should have gone through an adaptation phase first because of course they are not used to the tactics given by Kompany, but I don't see it like that, Bayern Munich doesn't seem to need any time at all to go through that phase which as we see now that they started the season very well without losing or even sharing points.

While in the Leverkusen camp unfortunately they had to start the season with one defeat from Leipzig, even though as we know about how fierce Xabi Alonso's squad was last season to set an unbeaten record until the end of the season, meaning of course as you believe that this will not be an easy season for Leverkusen, oh yes I am really interested in watching these two teams play to find out who is stronger this season.

Yes, in general Brugge was able to match Dortmund's game, although on the other hand we cannot deny that Dortmund's performance was far from good, although they were able to win the match with a fairly convincing score of 3-0 without reply at Brugge's home.
What helped Dortmund was Gittens who came on in the 68th minute to replace Marcel Sabitzer, he was able to bring changes to his first goal which motivated Nuri Sahin's troops to score the next goal, in my opinion the man of the match in this match was Gittens.

Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen will both prove their abilities this season in two major competitions such as the Bundesliga and also the Champions League because the coaches of both teams still have the spirit to be able to give better achievements to their teams this season. However, for Xabi Alonso I think this season will be much more challenging because Bayern Munich has started to return to their actual performance so that there are already quite serious obstacles in terms of winning the title again this season.

Yeah the result of this match is very misleading. Dortmund didn't really have much of the game for the first 75 minutes and Brugge looked like the better and more active team.
The 1:0 by Bynoe-Gittens was also very lucky since 2 Brugge players touched the ball before it went in. But hey, I don't complain since I am a long time BVB supporter. 3 points are all that counts, especially in an away match. But they better get some more convincing games together if they want to be successful this season because until now I am not sold they can compete in BL and UCL. The teams they played so far are nothing to be afraid of and the wins ( and 1 draw ) haven't been very good actually.

It is true I was even surprise when I heard the news that formal Manchester City player Vincent Kompany has been sign by the German giant Bayern Munich as there new manager after leading back Burnley in the English premier league to relegation. I believe in football is not every team that actually need a good or an experience manager to couch them and for me Bayern Munich is one those football team  because this team already has better prayers and have been dominating the Bundesliga for the past years now and this players has been playing together so they already know what to do when they get to the football pitch all they just needed is some one to stand as couch and do the necessary things. I can even manage a team like Bayern Munich and the will still perform very well both in their domestic league and the UEFA Champions league.

Although Club Brugge is not a strong team but in fact it can provide resistance even though it still ends up conceding and having to admit defeat to Dortmund. And Dortmund actually did not play badly but only needed a few tactical changes in the attack line which was less able to take advantage of opportunities to score. On the one hand this is an early appearance and we are still waiting for the next appearance from Dortmund and I am sure that in the upcoming match, Dortmund will be able to perform even better.

There is no need to rush to conclusions, there are many worthy teams in the Champions League, and one big win against a weak opponent is not an indicator. By the way, Kompany explained the substitution of Neuer in the second half in the match against Dinamo Zagreb, he said it was a precaution, but now Neuer is fine and he plans to take the field in the next game against Werder. This is good news, because Ulreich has shown that he is not so reliable, and if their opponent was a stronger team, these two quick goals could have become a problem.

I actually thought I was the only one that was shocked by his appointment, because I was asking myself if Bayern Munich no longer want to be as dominant as they usually are in the German bundesliga when he was appointed, because he was too unproven to manage a team as good as Bayern Munich.

Though he did a good job at Burnley when they were in the English championship, but they were unable to compete when they came to the English premier league last season and that is why Burnley was relegated, so when he was hired, I was actually shocked, because I was expecting them to go for a well known and a proven winner, but they choose to gamble on Vincent company, which he has practically proven to be a good catch, and if they can continue in this veins of form, I believe that they can be unstoppable in the German bundesliga and the uefa champions league just as you rightfully said.

Dortmund won the game against Brugge. It's quite far from your prediction. Though they won a bad game, the final score was not disappointing to me. I took a bet on Dortmund, and it went well.

In the first half, Dortmund lacked accuracy in their passing. And, in the second half, they lost control over the game, this due intensive pressure from brugge. They didn't create a good chance until the first goal scored by Gittens.

If Brugge had scored (which they could after they made some chances), the game would change, but Brugge didn't take their chances, and they did. They still won, but it wasn't a fine game to me though.

Also keep in mind that this is Brugge, it's not a major club like Real Madrid, Bayern or Manchester City.

What's more surprising to me is how he is able to make the players to play so well and scoring alot of goals. I didn't expect him to start performing this well from the beginning of the season. If Bayern Munich keep playing like this, they might just become the team that'll win not only the Bundesliga but they can also win the champions league. Vincent Kompany is doing a great job already and he's proving that young coaches can do a wonderful job managing a club if they're being given more chances. Last week they were able to score six goals against Holstein and this week they scored nine goals against Zagreb dynamo in the champions league, I think they can score five or more goals when they play werder next.

The big win over Dinamo Zagreb shows that Kompany has great ambitions to win every game with a big score, although the victory has not proven his capacity as the right coach for Bayern Munich but at least it will be a good start for them in the UCL, so far we have only seen Bayern conquer teams that are below their level with can achieve perfect results, But what is a test for Kompany coaching is of course how he can maintain the consistency get to win when facing Dortmund or leverkusen in bundesliga, as well as in the Champions League when they face Barcelona and PSG later.

Kompany and Xabi Alonso are two young coaches in the Bundesliga and so far they are still able to face every challenge that exists, just as Kompany is charged to bring Bayern Munich back to dominate the league, Alonso is also required also able to achieve more than he achieved last season for to prove that Leverkusen achievement last season was not a lucky one, besides that Leverkusen has great hopes to be able to surprise again in the Champions League this season, although becoming a champion is a difficult thing for their, but they hope Alonso can bring Leverkusen to a high level in the Champions League this season. 

Vincent Kompany should have done that because he has accepted all the risks since being appointed as Bayern Munich coach so he feels he can handle the club with better resources than his previous club and he seems serious in carrying out his mandate and the club fully believes in the coach and the players also seem stronger than before thanks to the motivation given by Kompany, Harry Kane who last season performed amazingly by scoring many goals now at the beginning of the season he has scored 9 goals from 5 matches if Bayern Munich continues to perform tough like this it is not impossible that the club will achieve success in the Bundesliga and also the Champions League this season.
