    Every time I watch Bayern play they have a shit match that ends with a 1 goal difference. I feel like I’m their kryptonite.

    Tuchel-ball is so awful to watch. Can’t help but wonder when he’s getting sacked because it feels like an inevitability at this point.

      What the fuck are you talking about? In the last weeks we see Bayern team that exerts control for the first time since Heynckes or Guardiola. He’s doing a better job than all the other hopeful candidates of the last years, be it Ancelotti, Kovac, Flick or Nagelsmann. Of course you’re gonna have games where the chances just don’t want to go in and you need to be patient and just keep control. That’s something we just couldn’t do in the last years, it’s absurd to see it as a negative now.

        Flick!? The guy who won the sextuple? Tuchel lost to Saarbrücken of all clubs. Seems like he’s following in the footsteps of his failed predecessors quite well so far. Nagelsmann also didn’t have a player like Kane and only got one year of a clearly declining Lewy. Tuchel’s time at Bayern will end like every other club he’s been at. Considering Bayern has shown an itchy trigger finger to sack managers more than most clubs, I have a feeling it’ll be sooner rather than later.

          Tuchel’s time at Bayern will end like every other club he’s been at.

          After a very successful time with a falling out with some of the most incompetent people in world football? I doubt the second part, because we luckily don’t have people like Watzke, Leonardo or Boehly here, just like they didn’t in Mainz.

            Lmfao as if Uli and Rumenigge are any better. Last time I checked Nagelsmann was sacked for skiing. And don’t try to say that was only on Kahn, the whole board is culpable.

              They single handedly turned Bayern into the world’s second biggest football club. But sure, they’re not any different to the likes of Boehly.

                The time when Bayern was hailed as the best ran club in the world has long gone. You can continue to live in the past all you want, I don’t care. Tuchel with his confrontational / asshole personality at Bayern isn’t gonna make it far. That’s the truth.

          You should check out who Flick’s Bayerns lost to in the German cup in his second season.

    The main difference between last season and this one is truly just Kane. Without him bayern would be exactly at the same position as last year (#1), but way way less effective.

    The board made the right decision to spent that much money for Harry.
