You see Leverkusen late goal against Augburg as luck, but for me it is a goal that is the result of hard work and also the never give up spirit that Leverkusen has, the 0-1 win against Augsburg makes Leverkusen position quite safe at the moment and like you, I also suspect that the title competition will only occur between Bayer Munich and Leverkusen until the end of the season, the injury suffered by Victor Boniface is a loss for Leverkusen but so far Leverkusen still has quite good replacement players, I think at this time apart from player injuries, absences Players who are playing in the African Cup can of course be the reason for the worsening performance of a team such as Leverkusen or other team.

Yes indeed, the match against Augsburg almost ended in a draw because after all, the goal for Bayer Leverkusen also just came in the 90+3rd minute and ya, it was a late goal and took a lot of effort to get. It's also possible that the fact that Bayer Leverkusen's goal machine Victor Boniface is still injured has had a big impact on Bayer Leverkusen's attack . Because ya, if the problem is in that factor, then at least it will make Bayer Leverkusen will also slip later when playing against stronger teams. Therefore, there is still no definite guarantee for Bayer Leverkusen to be able to maintain the top position of the Bundesliga standings, because at least a decline in performance can happen at any time.

Leverkusen will face three tough teams in their next five matches, in two Bundeliga competitions and the DFB Pokal. A period that will reveal who they really are, how strong they are, and how far they can maintain their unbeaten record. Believing that Xabi and his Armada will remain on track is reasonable, there is no worry whatsoever apart from the absence of his key players, Xabi will enter the real test.

Three of them are Leipzig and Bayern Munchen (Bundesliga) and Stuttgart (DPB Pokal). If they can overcome this challenge then Leverkusen chances of winning the trophy are very high, and we know that all the teams that will face Leverkusen are very motivated to break their record, especially Bayern .How hot Xabi hand is this season, who managed to polish the Leverkusen squad untouched with a single defeat. If Bayern can't be a stumbling block for them, then I'm sure Leverkusen will win the trophy this season.

We know that the competition for the Bundesliga trophy this season is only between Leverkusen and Bayern, and I think this competition will continue until the season ends. Meanwhile at DFB Pokal Leverkusen chances are quite big, if they manage to beat Stuttgart then their chance of winning the trophy is 80%, I don't see that the opponents in the semifinals and final are that tough. Overall, Xabi has the opportunity to present a trophy for his club this season, of course that is very good for his future managerial career.

Seems Bundesliga tittle race left Bayern Leverkusen and Bayern Munich both teams remaining 4 points left and Bayern have one match left, current with third standings team Stuttgart have left 7 points behind Bayern Munich has chance to make become 10 points left if win on postponed match. So far, Bayern Leverkusen is most promising team candidate winning Bundesliga tittle with Xabi Alonso success defend on top level performance with his team and success unbeaten until 17 matches in bundesliga.
Upcoming match, Bayern Leverkusen will face top fourth standings RB Leipzig and looks not easy for Leverkusen continue their four consecutives winning matches in La Liga because Leipzig want to secure champion league spot place.

Leipzig team has dropped points in the last two matches but this team is not weak at all. Leipzig have a pretty strong squad. The team is now fourth in the table. And importantly, Leipzig's defense is very strong. They conceded 18 goals in 17 matches. Leipzig have one of the strongest defenses in the Bundesliga. And since Leverkusen has several attacking players injured. So breaking down Leipzig's defense will be difficult for Leverkusen at the moment. This match is likely to be competitive.

You nailed it when you said he is a conflicted asshole an I think this will prevent him from becoming a coaching legend like some of the others. He has never shown any intention to solve conflict. Instead he always tried to win the conflict and let the other person look like a loser. It's hard to say whether Ronaldo was to blame back then, but he was the most prominent example when ten Hag tried to demonstrate that he is the one who is in power.

Since we are in the Bundesliga thread here, I read some news that ten Hag was a potential coach for Dortmund when they were discussing whether to continue with Terzic or not. But I don't think they would do themselves a favor if they opted for ten Hag as a new coach.

Ten Hag had the same case in Ajax - he got rid of a young player (unfortunately I don’t remember his last name) but that player then played as well as before. The facts show that Ten Hag is a conflicted asshole. In small teams this may work, but in big clubs there is no chance - there are many stars here and playing “I’m the boss” will lead to nothing but conflicts.
Meanwhile, Leipzig and Stuttgart lost points and Bayer and Bayern are ahead of everyone else even more (which, however, is not surprising given almost 90% of the points scored).

Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich are flying alone especially after the defeat of Stuttgart against M'Gladbach. We are talking about 7 to 11 points difference between these teams.
Leverkusen didn't lose any match and they have only 3 draws and the Augsburg game was about to be the fourth if they didn't score a late goal. That match was kind of warning for Bayer Leverkusen and I think it came at time since their next games are hard. They will face Leipzig, M'Gladbach and Bayern Munich in the next four matches and these games will tell if they could lift the title or not!

Leverkusen continues to show good consistency in every match they play and against Augsburg yesterday, Leverkusen played well even though they were only able to score 1 goal.
Bayern actually has a big chance to overtake Leverkusen, they have a fairly narrow goal difference and if Leverkusen loses just 1 then Bayern will immediately take the top position, Bayern currently really hopes Leverkusen slips, we'll see how Leverkusen will be in the future, will they able to be consistent or they will even lose to a small team.

Managing a football team to compete with a dominating giant, Bayern Munchen, is undoubtedly a monumental task. Xabi Alonso has become a hope, not only from Leverkusen fans but from the entire football world, to stop the domination of Bayern. His success in making the team win should be credited to his managerial skills. Xabi Alonso is able to provide guidance and strategies for players to execute those plans on the field.

The shift in expectations from being content with a top-four finish to suddenly expecting a title is indeed a challenge. It's unfair to impose such enormous pressure on Xabi Alonso, considering the initial objectives were likely more realistic. Managing expectations is crucial in football, and recognizing the progress and achievements made by the team should be a more measured approach. Xabi Alonso deserves the biggest credit for his role as a manager regardless they succeed to win the title or not.

Bayern Munich's flawless performance against Hoffenheim yesterday was expected if you ask me because they've been absolutely consistent this season in the German Bundesliga. The only club that's been more consistent than them is Bayer Leverkusen but with the current world class players and quality players at the club, I think they are likely to go past Bayer Leverkusen in the league table before the end of the season even when I also know it'll be very difficult to achieve.

Hoffenheim yesterday did not really give Bayern Munich much issues in that match as the German champions had chances of even adding more goals to what they actually scored already. Bayern Munich manager was only able to win the league title last season and was humiliated by Manchester City in the quarter finals of the UEFA champions league competition but this season, he actually wants to prove the club management that he's capable of doing better than he did last season by not just winning the league but also going past where they were eliminated from the UEFA champions league last season. Hopefully, Bayern Munich will have a better season than what they had last season

Stuttgart's defeat against Gladbach was something that was unpredictable and I think Stuttgart has lost its consistency because it is increasingly difficult for this team to achieve consecutive wins. In the last 5 matches, Stuttgart only got 2 wins and the rest were just draws and losses. Obviously quite a bad result for one of the teams whose performance has improved significantly this season and they failed to widen the gap on Leipzig. The absence of Guirassy, who had to strengthen the Guinean national team at the AFCON, may be one of the reasons Stuttgart's attack line became less productive.

Meanwhile, Gladbach moved up to 10th in the standings with the additional full points and they continue to improve their position well every week. I really miss Gladbach's performance in the last few seasons and they were a dark horse team at that time and I hope they can surprise other teams at the end of this season.

Just like i said before Stuttgart can't do anything without Guirassy and it just happend yesterday that Stuttgart was defeated by Mönchengladbach and if i am not mistaken Guirassy was into Guinea squad for African Cup but unfortunately he got injured when Guinea playing against Nigeria for friendly match so that's why Nigeria have to decide to return him to Stuttgart and this is big lost for Stuttgart because he is key player for this team and for forward lines there was no other striker who can able to performing well just like Guirassy at Stuttgart

About Bayern Munich and Leverkusen the rally is still continue because both teams has successfully to collect 3 points from their opponents but the match against Augsburg is not easy for Leverkusen because playing without some of their key players Leverkusen struggled to win this match and Leverkusen even have to wait until injury time of second half to scored and next match also not easy for Leverkusen because they will fight against tough team Leipzig

It looks like Leipzig is also not as strong as expected because after all, in the last match Leipzig also lost at home by Eintracht Frankfurt with a score of 0-1. I think, even though the results were not optimal but ya, Leipzig should have scored a goal in the match against Eintracht Frankfurt yesterday . Therefore, playing against Bayer Leverkusen in the next Bundesliga match, I think there is no strong guarantee for Leipzig even though Leipzig are playing at home. Because, even though Leipzig played strongly, of course, Bayer Leverkusen still had a chance to withstand Lepzig's attack. Therefore, I think Bayer Leverkusen still has a chance to win and if they fail to win, of course a draw is still very possible.

To be honest he has been given a monumental task by the whole world of football, not even just Leverkusen fans, which is understandable but even they shouldn't. The expectation that he could actually win the title here is just way beyond what he should have been asked, and not anything that people expected him to do at the start of the season. What happened then?

Well, he made the team win, and let's not forget the contribution of the players, yes Xabi is a great manager but the players are the ones who go out and play this well too. After being this good, suddenly people who were happy to be in top four, ended up expecting a title from him, and that's the issue, I do not think that it's fair to expect something so huge from him.

Exactly, Bayern Munich is leading more on all aspects compared to Hoffenheim. Therefore, it is very normal that they can win with quite a lot of scores. In fact, it would be surprising if Bayern were unable to beat Hoffenheim. Remember, this is not about underestimating, but this is about facts based on the statistics of the two clubs. Which will later become one of the considerations that must be evaluated.

In the Bundesliga itself, it is true that most likely, the toughest rival at the moment is Leverkusen, whereas they should be below Bayern Munich, so Bayern Munich should be able to take over the first position. Although in reality, this might not be easy because they are both strong this season.

Leverkusen is the only team battling Bayern Munich for this season's Bundesliga title. Leipzig and Dortmund are far behind Bayern Munich and Leverkusen. The title battle is essentially between Leverkusen and Munich.

Several players in Leverkusen's squad have suffered injuries. So I would say their performance is a bit slow now. As we saw against Augsburg, Leverkusen faced a lot of problems despite scoring just one goal. Despite their slow performance, the team is still strong and the players are confident. Also Xabi's match strategy is very good. So it seems that Leverkusen will be able to maintain their winning streak in the upcoming matches.

I look forward to watching Leverkusen's performance against Leipzig next week. The Leipzig team is very strong. Leverkusen are likely to drop points in this match if they don't play well.

Harry Kane has done so much already since he came to Bayern Munich, he's been a Key player who has gotten them alot as they did expected of him,his performance since has not have any noticed depreciation which invariably means that he was a perfect replacement Jus like you did mentioned rightly.

While harry Kane is doing so well at Bayern Munich,lewandoski is doing otherwise poorly in Barcelona and I begin to think maybe it's the club because age wise he has been within the same age range all along except for a year or two difference so it's very possible he's not getting that team support he needs to play optimally but then he's also injury prone and that's also put into consideration, anyways still think that if lewandoski returns to Bayern he may still perform well but may just be having adaptation issues at Barcelona.

Yes and now they have a difference of 4 points, on the other hand I think Leverkusen really have a strong determination to break the dominance of Bayern Munich, we can see they have extraordinary consistency in maintaining their position at the top of the standings by not wasting any opportunity, for the stronghold of Bayern Munich itself it is clear and it is certain that they do not want to lose the dominance of the title they have maintained for a long time and obviously with this very tight competition it makes the season look more interesting, I see this situation as when last season where Bayern Munich competed closely with Dortmund which in the end still Bayern Munich had luck above average which made Dortmund waste the decisive match at the end of the season, honestly I am quite worried that in the end Leverkusen could have the same fate as Dortmund last season.

Yes as we know that Bayern Munich always start the season well like the team we always favor, they are still very good but maybe we see there is an unusual appearance from the middle team that really never expected before, namely Leverkusen, on the other hand what is very unfortunate in my opinion is when Bayern Munich suffered a crushing defeat against Frankfurt in the previous few matches, if only they could get the full three points then the point difference with Leverkusen now would not be too far away.

Congratulations to Leverkusen for the autumn championship. Bayern Munich is currently the only team that poses a threat to Leverkusen. Stuttgart are at place 3 and have already a gap of 11 points to place 1. That ist is a comfortable lead for Leverksuen. Nevertheless, Leverkusen must not rest on their achievement so far. They won against Augsburg in the last minute and the next games will not be easy for Leverkusen.
