Tough luck guys, Dortumnd just scored the third goal toward the end of the match.
No team can really stop Dortmund except Bayern & maybe schalke.
Bayern record in recent years at Signal Iduna Park is not bright & a win there is very difficult. provided that Bayern should loss any of the coming matches.
The best Bayern game this season in my opinion....i think kroos was the one slowing up our play, today bayern really looked great, great flowing attacking football, and most of all unpredictable....if it wasnt for hildebrand and gomez`s bad luck today it would have ended 4 or even 5 - 0 for sure....that was a way to respond
I wouldnt say this is the best game so far this season, but is definitely one of the best games for Robben and Mueller.
Will Toni Kroos be on the bench from now onwards then ?
I am not sure if Kroos will be on the bench from now, but he deserves to be on the bench if he doesnt improve his play.
Leverkusen vs Bayern (Preview)
Both Ribery and Badstuber are injuried and hopefully both can recover in time for the match. But otherwise, Kroos and Gustavo should take over the role.
Another thing is that Robben was the man of the match in the England match. So he is definitely in form, but somehow, Bayern or Heynckes cant use him rightly to show his ability here
like the last game against schalke, Bayern showed more purpose with Muller playing just behind Gomez. Kroos should start on the bench.
Unforunately, Ribery might not be available for Leverkusen's match, so I guess Kroos would take over Ribery's role if he is not fit enough to start the match. The problem with Kroos is quite obvious, he needs to be more aggressive and need to pick up the pace a bit because he sometimes slow down the play by passing the ball backward or sideway. Too many unneccessary passes
Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich 0-0 (Half time)
Bayern did better against Leverkusen than recent away matches. Robben and Mueller are very lively. Neuer, Rafinha, Boateng, Gustavo, Lahm, Alaba are also doing alright. However, Kroos should consider improving, ow, he doesnt deserve a starting spot at Bayern, as he has often misses the final pass and slows down play.
Gomez is another victim in recent matches. He is definitely not a worldclass striker. He cant create a single chance for himself. His first touch is so poor that unless there isnt anybody around him, ow, he cant control the ball and lose possession for us. The only way he can score is through the help of his teammates.
Stupid game once again....at half time had to be at least 2-0 for bayern...great game from neuer, not the same should be said for muller, kroos, gomez, robben 
Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich 2-0 (Full time)
Leverkusen deserves to win the match, especially with their 2nd half display. Bayern actually enjoyed a better first half but Gomez, Robben missed the opportunity to open up the score. In the 2nd half, Neuer did save a few wonder goal, but again was partly blamed for our first goal conceded.
Kroos and Gomez are the worst player on the field. Both of them are basically useless there. Mueller is invisible in 2nd half, but at least, gave decent performance in the 1st half. Badstuber was always slow to the ball and Lahm's spot is the weakest link in defence as many crosses and through balls are through his side.
Terrible display by Bayern, but at the same time, Heynckes and the board need to take some blame for it as Bayern has already shown no enough depth in the squad during the 1st half and we didnt do anything during the winter window and now, we are getting punished by it
Bayern didnt play bad today though, in the second half leverkusen just kept attacking us on the break...for me its all the fault of 2 or 3 players from our team which arent playing well as they should, and all the team is getting all the blame...kroos is very slow in his passing which slows up our attacks, if you see last weekend agaisnt schalke he didnt play and bayern were unstopable... also it seems like bayern are under some curse or something at the moment, damn all the game attacking and our opponents have half a chance and they convert it it really makes me angry not because we lost, but we lot to a team we should have given at least 2 or 3 >:|
Yes, Bayern should have won this match as well as the one against Freiburg. The saddest part is that Bayern doesnt seem like to score any goal when we are playing away matches. I think we wasted many of our chances but at the same time, we tend to play too many passes before trying to get into the penalty box. Sometimes, we need to play much quicker than passing the ball from right to left and left to right
exactly, in my opinion i think part of this happening to bayern is for kroos`s style of play... he s good but he`s also slow with the ball which affects our play. also bayern needs to take advantage of counter attacks.... i think this curse will be over only when robben gets to his brilliant days again, bayern misses his great play...
ok, let's be realistic, Bayern are not goin to win this season's Bundesliga. dortmund a very consistent and are 7 points clear.
WHAT THE HELL IS GOIN ON ?????
>:| >:| >:| >:| >:| >:|
bm72 , the thing going on is that bayern dont have good substitutions which can replace injured players such as schweinsteiger, and the tactics which are nt good enough...i saw dortmund`s game yesterday they`ve got a huge team and deserve to be in the top surely with the great football they`re playing.. after mainz got the 1-1 i was like "lets see how much does it take dortmund to score again"...the answer was less than 5 mins. and thats quite impressive cos bayern usually take up to 5 mins to build up an attack playing around with the ball. i mean bayern have got no chance this season to retain the title. it was already very difficult until christmas, but at that time bayern played some good football too, but now its a different story. we managed to spoil a 3 point lead and turn it into a 7 point under...
Most players are not performing (Gomez, Kroos, Rafniha,..)
Coach tactics are predictable.
Not a good reserve players for more than four years.
The Coach, Nelinger & even Hoeneß need to go.
The management need to buy really quality players in weak positions (2 excellent Central defenders, a Righ-back, world-class striker, at least one Central Midfielder).
I think unlike Hitzfeld, Klinsman, Van Gaal and now Heynckes, they are not very keen on building up a deep bench because they are afraid to deal with personel issues.
Mueller and Gomez have been under-performing so far in 2nd half of the season. Gomez is also over-rated in somewhat as he is clearly not a worldclass striker, when you compare him with Ibra, Van Persie, etc. Those guys can break a defensive line by himself, whereas, Gomez can hardly dribble pass by any defender. In addition, Gomez's first touch is terrible that it needs so many opportunities for him to get it right
Kroos is not suitable to play here although he is talented. Our backline is also over-rated with both Rafinha isnt the same Rafinha as he was in Schalke and Badstuber basically will never be become a worldclass central as he is too slow even at his young age
in my opinion badstuber and rafinha are playing with all their heart, badstuber of lately is making some really good tackles, and rafinha is going foward and backwards all the time he can do nothing more... for me the player which needs to be switched is kroos, he`s literally non-existent in like 3/4 of a game
. Muller isnt playing well neither but at least he creates some sort of threat... for me bayern`s current situation is coming from these 4 factors:
1) Van buyten`s injury (He`s the only good header of the ball)
2) Our bad luck of lately...bayern arent playing bad, but its just a sort of curse .. bayern create a lot of chances and 3/4 of them just CANT enter into the goal for some paranormal reason
3) Tactics
4) lack of good players in the bench (only olic and tymoschuk are capable of playing at starting eleven, and contento but he just came froman injury)
