I agree, I even said that based on the match statistics, Bayern Munich played underperform. Even though they dominated the match, Bayern's players did not play optimally. Almost in all sectors, although not all of them played with sub-optimal performance. I also said other factors, maybe because some of their players were quite tired due to the close match schedule. Apart from Kane's injury, Kompany could actually give their young players a chance. Losing once in a while is normal, the most important thing is that in the next match they have to perform much better. The match against Leizpig tomorrow must be a point for them, especially the match played at the Allian Arena. Seeing the odds available, I'm pretty sure that Bayern will win their match again.
Well even if Munich didn't look like they performed well enough but they got a good point of the game and thst is the most important thing in the game. Kompany is been doing well and I see that he focuses on productivity such that they may not have the best play but they still maintain that result that will get them all they need at the end of the game. Kanes injury isn't such that will take him off for too long so hopefully soon he will be back and get on with giving the team as much goal as he can as he would.

I guess the Bayern side never saw Mainz as a potential threat that's why they got beaten on that day. Perhaps coach Vincent kompany didn't study his opponent before going into the game, because if he did then he would have found out that Mainz are a very strong side that specialises in snatching points from the big teams in Germany and I think the team would have learnt their lessons and would brace up during their next game so as not to have a repeat of what played out against Mainz.
Are you sure or is this just a strange feeling?
Mainz has beaten Bayern in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. Now how would it be possible that a club like Bayern would, as you say, never see Mainz as a potential threat? The statistics tell the opposite, which makes it weird that you argue the way you argue.
Bayern has been beaten by Mainz for years and I expect that this is not the only defeat Bayern will have to go through this season.
Bayern Munich is unlucky, haha that true but regarding Kane absence it really affects the team performance especially since there are still several other players who are also absent due to injury and of course some people consider this player crisis problem to be the main reason for Bayern Munich declining game to suffer defeat.
There is good news regarding Kane because it is reported that he has started to improve and his recovery period is going perfectly, he has even been considered to join Bayern Munich again in the next match against Leipzig, this will be very helpful for Bayern Munich to win, although Leipzig itself is not team that is easy to underestimate.
The defeat that Bayern Munich experienced when visiting Mainz was indeed a little surprising to many people, but if Bayern Munich cannot maximize their players when hosting RB Leipzig, of course Bayern Munich's position as the top of the standings will be very unsafe because if in this weekend's match Bayern Munich does not get full points, the distance between Munich's points and its rivals in the Bundesliga will be even closer. So Munich really has to make its players fitter and more efficient in order to stay safe at the top of the standings.There is good news regarding Kane because it is reported that he has started to improve and his recovery period is going perfectly, he has even been considered to join Bayern Munich again in the next match against Leipzig, this will be very helpful for Bayern Munich to win, although Leipzig itself is not team that is easy to underestimate.
I don't know if to call this fixture interesting or lovely but I see it better as an expected intriguing game because I see this game as one that is going to be some sort of challenging as Leipzig is in their productive erra and so they will want to make such attempts even at Bayern Munich even when they know that Munich is a bigger side and will not want to give them the chance to win easily especially as they will be playing from home, for predictive purposes bookings would be a better pick to play around as there's going to be some good numbers of commitments due to the supposed strive that both team may have.
The reason why I called it lovely is actually the goal potential of this game. Because if you look at their previous head-to-heads you can see how many goals they score against each other. It is really a lot most of the time.
Bayern Munich already have no problem with scoring in general of this part of the Bundesliga so far. Leipzig are also not bad and I think they will try to keep up until a point.Is Harry Kane back by the way? As far as I can see, Kompany just said that he wasn't sure about Kane to be in the starting lineup. I have heard he started training with the team on the other hand. I hope we can see him there.
It is indeed very unfortunate, about Kane who is injured and it seems that Kane has been absent in Bayern Munich's last four matches in all competitions. I think, it would be better for Bayern Munich to give Kane full time to fully recover from the injury he suffered. Because of course, it would be very unfortunate if his recovery was rushed, because of course concerns would arise if his recovery was not completely good but had been played. Although indeed, with Kane's injury like this, Kane's position as the top scorer will be threatened to be overtaken by Marmoush who only has a difference of one goal. But still, the main goal is recovery to make Kane able to play well again and be able to return to being Bayern Munich's goal machine for his goal of also getting the Bundesliga trophy this season.

When clubs like Bayern Munich losses against average places clubs Mainz it usually has a big effect. They are supposed to win these perceived cheap games to position them against top class clubs. Now the game against RB Leipzig is a must win if they want it keep Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt at bar. If they lose or draw this match and Leverkusen wins, they might only have one point difference from the other league contenders. Vincent Kompany would have to seek means to win this game to increase the chances of them winning the Bundesliga.
RB Leipzig full strength team also has good point and that team won 8 matches and that team has 27 points on the table and Eintracht Frankfurt and
RB Leipzig have same points. Bayern team should not repeat the mistakes which they took in last few matches .
RB Leipzig has good performance in last few matches and they could win this match and can could get second position on the table.

That lost is something Bayern must accept. They played badly than Mainz, and deserved it. They made too many sloppy passing in the game. May be, the players are exhausted due to the intensive schedules faced by them. This is my assumption.
It's understandable consider they're also losing Kane due to the injury. Missing him creates gap in their attacking line. Having Mueller as their ST was not really helpful for them.
It's getting harder for Kompany to manage club's consistency. That's due to the intensive fixtures combined with the injured players.

Yes, of course Kane also needs adjustments again to optimize his performance if injured. Because in any case, he still has to be more careful so that his injury does not recur. This is homework for all football players, because injury is the enemy of every player. Harry Kane's struggle to be able to lift the trophy with Bayern Munich is very big, especially with the failure last season, so he wants this season to be truly successful. And it cannot be denied, Kane is still the main player and without Kane, Bayern Munich's performance has indeed dropped quite a bit in recent matches.
Kane at his age now, will no longer need to chase as many goals as possible. He needs his best contributions for his team in a long season, and it means if he can help the team getting as many points as possible, it's best.Like he can score one goal every match, or something similar but less than one goal each match, it's still very important contribution from him if each goal is decisive winning goal for the team. That will be enough for Kane to win Bundesliga title with Bayern Munich in this season, after missing it last season. In Champions League, Bayern Munich are one of most traditionally successful club and they are one of best candidates to win it in this season too. Bundesliga is a more possible title to win for Kane, Champions League is more competitive, and he will need massive luck together with his own effort to win it.
Bayern Munich and Kompany will need to use Kane very cleverly to avoid his exhaustion or injury in most important weeks of season.
Munich still leads the bundesliga standings this season with 33 points, but still Munich also faces challenges and also great pressure after currently leverkusen managed to reduce their gap to 4 points, the absence of Kane has made munchen attacking line unstable making it difficult for them to score goals and win games at the moment as happened against Mainz before, I think leverkusen still has a chance to coup munchen if they are able to maintain their consistency, in addition to hoping munich will slip up in their remaining matches.
Key player injuries are always a big problem to achieve consistency, fortunately Kane is reported to be able to return to play in the next match against Leipzig. Leverkusen certainly has the opportunity to overtake Bayern Munchen in the future, a 4-point gap is very realistic to pursue. Slowly Xabi Alonso and his team are finding their best form again, and that is a signal that Bayern Munchen must be seriously aware of. With the season still very long, direct competition between the two teams at the top of the standings will continue to occur, I even think the two teams will compete tightly until the end of the season.On the other hand, Leverkusen hopes that Leipzig can hold back Bayern Munchen pace, so that it will benefit them later. The competition for the Bundesliga trophy this season is very different from previous seasons, I mean more competitive. Unfortunately, Dortmund has not been able to perform consistently, so they will most likely not be directly involved in the competition for the trophy.
The defeat that Bayern Munich experienced when visiting Mainz was indeed a little surprising to many people, but if Bayern Munich cannot maximize their players when hosting RB Leipzig, of course Bayern Munich's position as the top of the standings will be very unsafe because if in this weekend's match Bayern Munich does not get full points, the distance between Munich's points and its rivals in the Bundesliga will be even closer. So Munich really has to make its players fitter and more efficient in order to stay safe at the top of the standings.

Kane is a very influential player in the front line and has contributed greatly to the team so far, but that doesn't mean Bayern Munich's dependence on Kane is very high and the defeat to Mainz last weekend was not solely due to Kane's absence.
But for now I think Kane can make a significant impact on Munich's performance. He is the top scorer in the Bundesliga which means if Kane was not injured and played in that match I think Munich would have had a different result. At least the match would have ended in a draw. I'm not saying Kane is Munich's only hope but I think Munich dominated Mainz in that match but unfortunately Munich couldn't create many chances. They made 13 shots but only 1 shot on target. But in the end a win is a win and I respect Mainz and I think they deserved the win and became the first team to beat Munich this season.Judging from the way they attacked, they actually lost their creativity after Mainz was able to implement a defense that was difficult to penetrate. So this is not entirely due to Kane's absence in this match, but rather there is a strategy that is not working. There are several factors that influence, it could be because Mainz was successful with their strategy or because Bayern Munich's strategy implementation in this match was not optimal so they found a dead end when attacking.
This season Leverkusen failed to maintain their performance and consistency , although they have a strong squad with the majority of last season players, the match later become opportunity for them to cut the gap with Munich, although actually Frankfurt is also not an opponent that will be easy to face.
Indeed have inconsistent performance in this season, Bayern Leverkusen almost reach the top standings with four points remaining from Bayern Munich, last defeated match from Mainz make Bayern get their first defeating in domestic league and looks not comfortable yet their first place behind Bayern Leverkusen almost reach first standings.Bayern Munich looks difficult scoring many goals last match after Harry Kane absent and he most important players in this season behind 14 goals contributing in domestic league.
Bundesliga have long break for upcoming match due Christmas day and all teams have opportunity get recovery back their teams and prepare for recruiting new players, games week 15 will begin middle week next months and all teams can focus for signing new players when January window transfer opening, Bayern looks need new forward how to anticipation when Harry Kane absent.

Vincent Kompany would have to seek means to win this game to increase the chances of them winning the Bundesliga. Seriously. Kompany needs to work on Bayern Munich before playing with Leipzig tomorrow. It will not be funny if they fail to win against Leipzig tomorrow again because Bayern Munich is coming, and if Bayern Munich fails to win, Bayer Leverkusen will want to try everything possible to win their next match, and Bayer Leverkusen will be looking for only 1 point to get ahead of Bayern Munich and top the table.
That is why I’m saying Vincent Kompany should try everything possible to make things right for Bayern Munich tomorrow so their top 1 position won’t be shaken. The match will be tomorrow; let’s see what will happen.

This defeat is a shock for Bayern Munich but it makes Bundesliga more interesting as it gives Leverkusen a chance to reduce point difference and make a title competition more interesting between two strongest clubs in Bundesliga. Leverkusen after some hiccups in season beginning, and many weeks staying lower than other clubs like Frankfurt, Leizpig and Stuttgart, now are solidly at the second position. They're returning to a position of biggest challenger against Bayern Munich.When clubs like Bayern Munich losses against average places clubs Mainz it usually has a big effect. They are supposed to win these perceived cheap games to position them against top class clubs.

It is not big effect like Bayern Munich lost Bundesliga title after that defeat. They in fact are leading Bayer Leverkusen 4 points in Bundesliga. They also have very big goal difference, that is +30 compares to only +12 of Leverkusen. This means if two clubs have same total points, Bayern Munich will hold a first position in Bundesliga. One defeat is not the end because Bayern Munich are still controlling this title race but they must wake up and avoid a prolong of this bad result like a start of lost streak.Leverkusen are no longer strongly dominating Bundesliga like the past season, but they're strong enough to ready take over a first position if Bayern Munich are careless.

Yes, of course Kane also needs adjustments again to optimize his performance if injured. Because in any case, he still has to be more careful so that his injury does not recur.
Now. we are waiting for their big match Bayern Munich vs Leipig.
He definitely need to be very careful because his injuries is mostly ankle, knee and Groin and one thing about this injuries is that with a little twist is right back from were it started especially knee, so actually he will need to avoid any serious charging from there opposition defender because if there is any serious impact on the knee he may likely return back to the injury but however let's not be too much concern about Harry Kane because he is one of the gentle players in the Bayern Munich, so he is not an aggressive player, on Sunday they would be welcoming Leipig and at the same time win them to have 36 point, I believe the trophy Harry Kane has been longing to win for the club will make it available for them this time. Now. we are waiting for their big match Bayern Munich vs Leipig.
Bayarn Munich were unbeaten in the Bundesliga until the 13th match and thought that they might do better this season than last season but they could not maintain their consistent performance till the 14th match. They dropped points in 14th match against Mainz and losing this match is not good for them as another team in the league is not far behind them. If Bayern Munich perform like this in their next match, if Leverkusen get full points in their next match, they will be back level with Bayern Munich on points. I can partly blame the absence of Harry Kane as the reason for Bayarn Munich's defeat against Mainz because if this striker was there he would have scored and if he had scored the team would have won.
Leipzig is one of the opponents that is quite strong because for the last few seasons Leipzig has always been transformed into a club that is indeed troublesome especially from h2h their last 5 matches Leipzig is actually still superior with 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss so this could be troublesome for Bayern and there could be some situations that Bayern cannot control if they are too focused on previous defeats and do not see Leipzig as an opponent.
I don't think it was only because of Kane absence that Bayern Munich lost their match against Mainz. Bayern Munich played with a lot of injuries, they were without some key first team players like Manuel Neur, Alphonso Davies. Mainz played very well, they were able to take advantage of Bayern Munich’s weak defense. It was a step up from a disappointing outing against Wolfsburg in their previous match.

I can partly blame the absence of Harry Kane as the reason for Bayarn Munich's defeat against Mainz because if this striker was there he would have scored and if he had scored the team would have won.Bayern Munich declining is surprising me as well, because I thought this team would be the way they started from the beginning of the season, but I can see that their performance is not going as we expected. For Bayern Munich to lose to Mainz is too bad for them; being at the top of the league is not easy. They have to keep their consistency so they can be able to get the title this season.
Bayer Leverkusen is coming, and as you said, it is true: anything can happen. If Bayern Munich loses another match and Bayer Leverkusen wins any, they will take over, so I think Bayern Munich should do everything possible to continue winning their games.
However, Kane should not be a reason why Bayern Munich loses the match against Mainz, although I know he is one of their key players. I think some players they played with were injured, and that is why the result of the match is like this.
