Talking about Manuel Neuer who is still shocked after being out for a long time due to injury, it seems like he has plans to replace him with another goalkeeper is something that is wrong for me because he is recognized as a great goalkeeper and it is natural that he is still shocked when he appears on the field like a player who has just joined the club but this problem of declining performance will not take long because in the near future Manuel Neuer will show his talent again.
I will be more confident if Neuer will be retained in the future because Tuchel still believes that he will remain a goalkeeper who is ready to secure Bayern Munich goal in the Champions League and in Bundesliga matches.

Of course, Neuer was quite surprised because he had been absent for quite a long time this season and when he returned to Bayern Munich's main squad he certainly wouldn't have been convinced if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes. Conceding 3 goals against Leverkusen is certainly not something you want, especially as a senior goalkeeper at Bayern Munich, it is quite embarrassing. I think Neuer's quality as a goalkeeper has begun to decline and it is time for management to think about a potential replacement next summer.

If I'm not mistaken he also extended his contract at the end of last year so I don't think it was the right decision for Bayern Munich to keep him. I think Neuer should start to be rested in important matches because of course his focus is not like it was a few years ago in guarding the goal. Leverkusen will still surprise no matter who the opponent is and being able to slaughter Bayern Munich is the climax they can achieve this season.

Bayern Munich played very well because they were able to control the ball more than Leverkusen but who would have thought that Leverkusen really performed extraordinary in that match even though they didn't completely control the ball but Leverkusen defense was very solid and Leverkusen front line was very good at putting pressure on Bayern Munich until finally Bayern Munich lost control and had to concede 3 goals to Leverkusen while Bayern Munich itself failed to break down Leverkusen defense.

Yes, even though they experienced a bit of painful disappointment, Bayern Munich must not dwell on sadness because Bayern Munich must immediately get up and fight to face the match in the Champions League against Lazio. This is a very important match for both clubs, but Bayern Munich must win it so they can return the players mentality what was damaged by Leverkusen due to defeated.

I also hope Leverkusen can win the Bundesliga title this season. To be honest, the league would be boring if Munich were always the champions. But that's normal because previously no team could beat Munich. Currently Leverkusen is 5 points ahead of Munich. There are still many games left in the second half of the season. This makes me a little worried. Because we know what is a challenge for teams that do not have squad depth like Leverkusen is to maintain consistency in their play and always be at their best. I think 5 points is still not that far because we know that Munich is actually very strong. I hope Leverkusen can maintain the consistency of their game.

I think his performance in the Champions League will be his determining criterion. There may be teams that show great patience towards him, but Bayern Munich is not one of them. Bayern Munich is a team that wants success immediately. If they continue to have such unsuccessful results, Tuchel may be dismissed from the team even before the end of the season.

People must be aware that Bayern Munich performance is decreasing a bit. Leverkusen is growing significantly, they become a very different team in this season. I'm sure the quality of Bayern Munich is not so different with the previous season, they even has better attackers with Harry Kane. But we can't deny that the tactic applied by the coach will have a bigger impact in the match. In this matter, Xabi Alonso's quality is better than Tuchel as the manager.

But I assume Bayern Munich management will give 1 more season for Tuchel. Tuchel has a contract with Bayern Munich until 2025.
Moreover, it is not easy to sign a new good coach. Bayern Munich mustn't be too hurry to fire Tuchel.

For me, Bayern has done a good job. unfortunately, in the match against Leverkusen, Bayern Munich lost with a quite embarrassing score. For me, it's natural that big teams don't always win their matches. moreover, at that time, several Bayern Munich players suffered injuries, such as Coman, Gnabry, Alphonso Davis. IMO, made worse by the wrong system implemented by Thomas Thuchel. so far, Thuchel has rarely used a 3 player pattern at the back. But in the match against Bayern, it seems he prepared the wrong strategy. Plus, instead playing and rotating several young players who lack experience. If Bayern continued to use their usual pattern, with 4-2-3-1, maybe the results wouldn't be as bad. But, what can you do, the fact is that Bayern Munich lost at BayArena, Leverkusen's home ground. the case is different with Leverkusen, Alonso already has a way to overcome Munich and an opportunity to anticipate against Bayern Munich. in the end, Leverkusen was 5 points ahead and at the top of the Bundesliga standings. there are still matches remaining, we cannot confirm the winner of this competition yet. We'll see if Leverkusen is able to achieve its target. as for Leverkusen in the Europa League, we'll see. even though the playoffs haven't been held yet, there are still many things that might be unexpected.

Leverkusen clearly doesn't give the opposing team a chance to win, in this way it will be easy for Leverkusen to win in this season. At least I am proud of Leverkusen because they have succeeded in making the Bundesliga this season different from the last few seasons, where only Bayern Munich was always the winner. This season, Bayern Munich could not move against the strength of Leverkusen and lost badly. The distance in points between first and second place is quite different, so it seems impossible for Bayern Munich to take first place.

Thomas Tuchel still has extra work to do as the manager of Bayern Munich. They are actually doing not bad but because of the big name team that Bayern Munich already had, they will always expect something better and extraordinary from him even as an experienced coach that he is. Bayern 04 Leverkusen have really gave Bayern a serious threat challenge to the Bundesliga title race, they won’t give up even as it is now, but that level of confidence already built by those players can’t be easily broken this season anymore. I am sure they will remain at their best until they become the winner of the Bundesliga title this season.

Bayern Munich is definitely under huge pressure in the Bundesliga because of Leverkusen and especially after the last games they had against Leverkusen, when Bayern Munich lost the game many players in this team like Neuer were under pressure.
That's why Manuel Neuer said they are still shocked after the result they got against Leverkusen.

Many persons do say that football is now 100% on luck but I think this Leverkusen side has changed that narrative. Now the way they play makes you know and believe that their hardwork helps them play on the level of hardwork. Hardwork truly pays in football and Leverkusen is a pure testament to that fact. The way they’ve managed to stay unbeaten in all competitions till this time and manage to give a huge gap on Bayern Munich in the league is worth watching.

 Commendations must be given to Xabi and how he’s trained this boys into believing to always work for their success. Tuchel pattern doesn’t fit Bayern Munich as his pattern makes them not to come out and show their full strength and I think and I’m sure he’ll get sacked at the end of the season.

This remind me of Liverpool gained 97 points but still came second on the table. While Tuchel has undoubtedly delivered positive results, Leverkusen have just been outperforming Bayern. Maybe this shows that Tuchel has done what he should do as a coach. Bayer Leverkusen's presence in the European league adds another dimension to the competition. The prospect of facing teams like Liverpool undoubtedly presents a significant challenge. Xabi Alonso's coaching prowess will be put to the test, particularly in high-stakes matches against formidable opponents like Liverpool.

If Bayer Leverkusen were to secure a treble this season, it would indeed be a remarkable achievement, showcasing the team's strength under Xabi Alonso's leadership. Such results would solidify Bayer Leverkusen's status as the best team with the best coach this season. Anyway, Football is unpredictable, and the outcome of these matchups will hinge on various factors, including strategy, player performance, and perhaps a bit of luck. Fans can only wait with anticipation to see how the season unfolds and whether Bayer Leverkusen can fulfill their potential under Xabi Alonso's guidance.

Bayern played very well and they didn't play bad in the match. But, on the other hand, Leverkusen played much better and more efficiently. They were are able to optimize the chances that they have and did very effective attack's in a short time. That is why they may surprise the players of Bayern Munich during the match. They may not expect that Leverkusen would be this great. Moreover, defenders of Leverkusen are exactly strong, we know it so far, how they are able to keep the back are very safely so that they are unbeatable nd with less conceded goals.

However, Bayern Munich's sadness and disappointment must stop, because they have to compete against Lazio in the UCL later. So they have to focus on this big match. Even though this is only the first leg, they have to make sure they win with more goals to make it much safer.

I would agree with that. Bayern is not playing a bad season so far, they just have the misfortune to have an opponent like Leverkusen who have now not lost a game in 31 consecutive matches across seasons and competitions. That's a fantastic run. What makes Tuchel vulnerable, however, is firstly the thin-skinned way in which he repeatedly reacts to critical questions and also the early elimination from the cup against a third division team. If he doesn't reach at least the final of the CL, I don't think he'll be coach at Bayern next season.

In essence, Tuchel still managed to provide good results for Bayern Munich this season but unfortunately, there are teams with better performance and results this season than Bayern Munich . Therefore, I think that whoever is the current Bayern Munich coach will certainly have difficulty matching Bayer Leverksuen. But ya, because Bayer Leverkusen will also still play in the European league and there is also still Liverpool there . So ya, if for example Bayer Leverkusen meet and play against Liverpool there, we just look forward to the results, whether Xabi Alonso will still manage to give good results or not. Because ya, if Bayer Leverkusen get a trable winner this season then yes, ofcourse these results really prove that Bayer Leverkusen this season with Xabi Alonso is the best team and coach.

I would not think that Thomas Tuchel is an unlucky coach for Bayern Munich because he has only coached Bayern Munich this season so there would not be enough reason to fire him immediately. Because whoever the coach will definitely need time to make the team more developed through the game strategy he applies and apart from that, Bayern Munich itself is not that far behind Leverkusen at the moment. This means that Bayern Munich also still has time to catch Leverkusen if Leverkusen makes mistakes in the remaining matches this season.

However, it must be admitted that this season Leverkusen played almost perfectly in all their matches. They are still yet to lose a single match in any competition. That alone is crazy. In this match, Leverkusen appeared world class and their level of hard work was very high. As you can see, this has nothing to do with talent but rather hard work. From here they develop the mindset of playing ball in a very narrow space. Bayern wasn't too bad but Leverkusen's calmness had an impact on Bayern too.

In my opinion, Nagelsmann was very suitable for Bayern Munich, but he had problems managing the club and was eventually replaced by Tuchel. For me, Tuchel doesn't fit Bayern's DNA. He is a defensive coach similar to Simione. Bayern prioritizes attacking football, which Tuchel unfortunately lacks. On the other hand, Bayer Leverkusen appeared brilliant with the way they played. Yes, I also think like you, Tuchel's career at Bayer Munich will end if he fails to get the Bundesliga trophy or the Champions League trophy.

Of course this is possible. While everything was going well, they suddenly appointed Thomas Tuchel as the head of the team, and if they cannot get the performance expected from him, sending him off the team may be one of the options. I think Thomas Tuchel is a great coach, but his bad luck never leaves him. We are watching Leverkusen's magnificent performance together this year. Times like this rarely happen, and one happened this year. Unlucky for Tuchel, this was an outstanding Leverkusen performance.

I read some rather interesting rumors today (more precisely, a whole conspiracy theory), it is that the fundamental decision to fire Tuchel has already been made, it will officially take place in the summer (regardless of the results of the season, although it seems to me that the Champions League + Bundesliga title could change this). And the most interesting thing is that Tuchel is also already in the know.
The Bayern management wants to see Klopp in the post, but he is taking a year off, so again they need some kind of “temporary” coach, which is unacceptable for a top club like Bayern. Mourinho is being considered, but is considered risky.
What do you think? Is this again an invention of journalists or is there something in it?

Lately Frankfurt has not been doing too well because they have only won 1 match out of there four previous matches they have played and if they don't work hard on there performance it will seriously affect them on there league table because currently now they only have 4 points above Freiburg so if they are not consistent enough and lose two matches then Freiburg manages to win there two matches then they will become the 6 position while Frankfurt will be push down to the 7 position of the league, so perhaps this is there chance now to improve on there performance because if they failed to utilize the opportunities of wining most of the small clubs they are meeting now it will really affect them, however there last match against Bochum, I wonder why they were not able to win them because they have a very nice quality players than Bochum and even on the league table they are on a better position of wining Bochum but they couldn't utilize the opportunity.
