nagelsmann should’ve never been sacked

2 losses, 2 draws Not that bad, I think. Only problem is Leverkusen is unbelievably good this season.

Honestly for all the criticism that Bayern gets for being second to Leverkusen, look at the insane run of games Leverkusen has put up. They're the only undefeated team in the top 5 leagues, and that's with just 3 draws out of 18 games, giving them an 83% win rate. Even the Arsenal Invincible season only had a 68% win rate. Even PSG with zero competition in the farmer's league don't have a win rate as good as Leverkusen (72%). Bayern isn't doing that badly, Leverkusen is just playing so well that it makes them look worse by comparison. Sure Bayern might not be playing the most attractive and convincing football in the world, but you can't really say they're "bottling" the league either when their opponent is quite literally invincible.

Hey Adrian, Bayern member here living outside of Munich here. Great take on the Tuchel situation. We have definitely been spoiled the last 11 years, which is why our demands are so high. I believe Tuchel is a great coach and should receive more trust from the board (wants a holding 6 and gets Dier…DIER). It’ll be interesting to see how they play tonight and in the coming weeks. The board ask for continuity but can’t help but pull the trigger on managers quickly these past couple of years. Of course I want to win the Bundesliga again this season but if we’re being honest, Leverkusen has played the best football and look like they could definitely win the league this season. Pack ma’s ihr roten ❤

You should make a video abut Sevilla crisis and how they went from title race in 2021. to relegation fighters in 2 back to back seasons

As a Bayern fan I’ve almost tuned out completely. Not to say Tuchel is to blame for everything but the past year has felt like a classic “don’t fix it if it’s not broken” and they went ahead and broke it.

tuchel isnt fully to blame but he isnt blameless either. everyone involved in the club is screwing up. 70% of the players are playing with no passion, tuchel has them playing boring football that despite being ugly was still working and getting results. now opponents have figured it out. most of all though, the board are to blame; refusing to bring in players that we are desperate for like an out and out dm as well as sending stani and pavard away with no backups

It's probably just the end of an era. They've been so dominant for the last fifteen years but there will always be a moment where you just can't keep that up anymore. This is because indeed players get complacent, the wrong manager might take over, a change in leadership within the club, another club raising the bar, etc. For Bayern, after eleven title wins in a row and a treble, it's just time.

Tuchel was never a fit for bayern. Nagelsmann was perfect he just needed a top tier striker

Tuchel was very good with Chelsea even in the 2nd season. Chelsea finished 3rd with Lukaku as the striker and James, Chilwell and Kante were out for most of the season. Not to mention the chaos around the club at that time due to the Russia-Ukraine war. I genuinely believe had Tuchel been given more time at Chelsea, they would have become title-challengers. Also, personally i prefer result-based football over style-based which aint winning anything. Not everyone can be Pep. Even Zidane's RM played result-based football which led them to the greatest achievement in club sports' history: 3 consecutive Champions League titles.

Bayern fan as well… the Tuchel style lacks the ruthless verticality that Bayern fans appreciate and the football is boring to watch mostly. Also, Tuchel publicly knocks talented players and can’t seem to get a system where Kane actually gets passes. It’s frustrating; the individual talent on the team is immense but Tuchel needs to go. I actually don’t mind losing the table to Leverkusen because they more than deserve to be there. What will bother me is getting our asses handed to us by City or Real in the UCL. Hoping for Xabi this summer 🇩🇪 Hey and your videos are insightful, well researched and very entertaining so thank you!

I’m a massive Bayern fan. The truth is Nags never should have been sacked. Mid season no less, shameful. Tuchel is a fine coach but does not fit with this squad if that isn’t obvious enough. His tactics have been dreadful and his choice of lineup has been questionable. Never seen so many boring, uninspired games in a row from Bayern. Has to be sacked imo.

The decline of the players quality, the poor recruitment of certain positions (i.e. the midfield), and couching chair turning into an ejection seat are certainly good examples of how to not run a club that won the triple 4 years ago.

5:04 Bayern Munich didn't end the Champions League group stage with 6 out of 6 wins this season. They couldn't beat FC Copenhagen at home (0-0 draw).

As a Bayern fan, this feels like all the issues from last season coming home to roost. All things considered, Bayern should not have won last year. Dortmund had it and choked. But this year the squad just feels lackidasical and the lineups Tuchel is putting out are uninspired. I dont see Leverkusen dropping any games from here on out, and it seems like a foregone conclusion theyre going to win the league from where I'm standing. I just hope we can regroup and take back the crown next season. If we keep this up its dark days ahead.

Hey Adrian, great video as always! Bayern fan here that feels like giving his perspective as well, lol. So first, I want to go to the Nagelsmann sacking and how I personally think that was a big catalyst for everything going on at Bayern. Brazzo and Oliver Kahn clearly had a plan in mind, and Julian Nagelsmann did not fit that plan. Whether they did not like his style of football, whether it was the alleged strained relationships JN had with some of the senior players in the squad (among them allegedly Manuel Neuer and Robert Lewandowski). To go after Thomas Tuchel simply because they were worried about losing the treble was insanity, and Kahn and Brazzo paid for it with their jobs of course, as they should have. I always believed that JN could have been a Wenger like figure for Bayern, or a Pep at Man City, always adjusting and changing his style to fit new trends in football, and making his own. I would definitely agree that Tuchel's style has not been the attractive style of football that Bayern fans have come to expect over the last 10, almost 20 years since Louis Van Gaal became manager. In general, I think the quote by Honigstein does fit the mentality at Bayern currently. Let's be honest, Dortmund have kind of choked away any challenge to Bayern recently, and clubs like RB Leipzig have played their best when Bayern had their strongest squads. I would also argue that certain players have also become complacent, and for some of them I don't even really blame them. When you have won a treble like Goretzka, Kimmich, Davies, Muller, Neuer, Coman, etc. how do you keep that competitive spirit up when you already climbed the mountain? I can certainly understand that. Especially for players like Neuer and Muller who have won TWO trebles!! I also think the general craziness and obsession with winning has cost Bayern and has effected the players. After JN was sacked, player like Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka were allegedly very shocked to learn JN had been let go. Add that to Brazzo and Kahn leaving at the end of the season and the retired Uli Hoeness and Karl-Heinz Rumenigge returning to the club, other front office guys like Christopher Freund coming in as sporting director, Max Eberl likely soon coming to the club, Bayern have been a club in flux. KHR and Hoeness had one style, Brazzo and Kahn had another. Now Uli and KHR are back and have their style in again and seem to be hoping people like Eberl and Freund can take over the club. I have to imagine this turnover and change in philosophy effects the players. I think an underrated factor effecting Bayern's play is also just how frequently they have changed managers. Take a look at Joshua Kimmich for example. This is his 9th season at Bayern. His first was 2015-16. If you count the one game Willy Sagnol was caretaker of the club after Carlo Ancelotti was fired, he has had 8 managers. So realistically, one game can't do too much, so we'll call it 7. How exactly as a player are you supposed to feel comfortable in a system, know the ins-and-outs of it, etc. if every other season you have a new coach? That is why I was so optimistic about JN, because I felt he was the long-term solution for Bayern. Ultimately, I think as I said earlier and as you brilliantly used it as an example Adrian, the Honigstein quote is so perfect. I obviously hope Bayern with the Bundesliga every year and every other competition, but to be honest I wouldn't mind if they lost it, especially if it forced them to look in the mirror and ask what they are doing, and hopefully they realize they need to bring someone in that can be a long-term solution for Bayern (Praying it would be Xabi Alonso)!! and to stick to that managers plan, while also continuing to build up the youth program because Bayern cannot financially compete with the English clubs, PSG, etc. (which, for additional detail, is also one of the specialties Christopher Freund was supposed to be brought in for). Thanks for the great videos Adrian, and Mia San Mia!

And Tuchel is still being left in charge of transfers 😂 😂 😂

I don't understand why people are so critical of Bayern. Leverkusen are unbeaten at the moment. As a Bayern fan, I would be happy if we won the Champions League but lost the Bundesliga to a team that went invincible.

Considering how „bad“ Bayern are and Leverkusen doing so well it’s amazing that they are only 4 points behind them. I feel Leverkusen will bottle it in the final stages of the season.

Pavard REALLY wanted to leave, not allowing him to wouldn't have worked I guess. With Stanisic Tuchel said he didn't know at the time but I guess it was somebody like Hoeneß messing with the transfer.

Correction: Freund took over AFTER the summer transfer window! Tuchel was more involved than a manager ever was at Bayern during the summer transfer window. This is something he does not like as he prefers to be on the pitch as a coach rather than a manager. A recurring story in his career as he had similar issues at PSG and Chelsea.

I think it was just a time coming, that Bayern would eventually slow down and lose the league, they've won it like what 11 years in a row now? Personally, in my opinion it isn't the fails of Bayern that is the cause of this but the Bayer Leverkusen team that has gone unbeaten & its January.

What did the Joker Tuchel achieve since taking over . Last year League was won because Dortmund was pathetic themselves .

It all starts with the leadership at the top

Tuchel is a good manager only when the teams are struggling... Not when teams have a identity and are the strongest

Tuchel and Kai been thriving off of that Chelsea champions league win

I don't see how being a bayern fan is fun at all, it is literally like playing a game on easy and win regardless. International, they are more entertaining, as they get more competition.

Blue dream instrumental in the beginning>

Just shos how Arsenal lose Xhaka and are struggling in that part of the pitch yet Bayer are up there

Hey Adrian, just one point that I think you got a bit confused, Freund arrived only in September, so he wasn't around during the summer transfer window. And, about the right back, Kimmich don't want to play at right-back unfortunetly, so we left with Laimer and now, thanks God, Boey, and to be fair the numbers on midfield options are also low...

the problem comparing neglesmann result with tuchel is bayern neglesmann has no quality center forward like kane half of the season they played choppo moting

Bayern need some 2019-20 Hansi Flick form if they want to beat Maybekusen!

Bayern just not used to competition and it shows😂 chelsea would kill for this type of season bayern on😂

You gave a shout out to FC Porto. That felt nice. 😉 Abraço azul e branco!

I really enjoyed your well-pondered ideas! In football, we tend to blame the manager for everything. I think the board is clearly putting Tuchel as a scapegoat when they are not backing Tuchel to bring his players (Kane, Guerreiro and Kim in; Mane, Pavard, Hernandez, Cancelo, Stanisic out, let alone de Ligt and Gnabry's injuries). They're not spending for a coach who's leaving in the end of the season. I don't think you can play in a high-press marking, rolling over your opponent when you have less than 8 players in the bench in half of the season. I also find hard to believe that Flick, Nagelsmann and Tuchel are to blame in Bayern and Germany, but the players are spared. Who's the next manager to deal with Sané's inconsistency or a spoiled Kimmich?

Bayern should honestly bring back Flick he was so good at Bayern

Flick is the medicine we need

Kind of a nice feeling seeing Bayern not completely dominate everything, not going to lie. Secret st Pauli report, the boys in brown regained the top of the league, the possibility of seeing them on-top tier football next season getting closer, and also potentially a rabona tv video???

It would be kind of poetic that Kane's first season at bayern would also be the one they win nothing

One thing that firmly is Tuchel's fault is his inability to see Joshua Kimmich as a 6 when the likes of Nagelsmann, Flick, Heynckes, and I believe even Pep in his last season in charge when he started giving him some game time all very much saw him playing as a holding midfielder.

how are they playing bad football yet in the running for a most goals in a season record

It is very simple. The players are complacent, spoiled, and have to much say…. They are so used of winning , that they are not hungry anymore. It shows when you watch them on the pitch. I think a bad season for us would be good at this point. Take two steps back to take three forward. That might bring the players down to earth…. Lastly, don’t count Lazio out

And now after the Union game, we have 2 new missing players...This way we wont be consistent in our play for another month or two. We have way to many gaps in positions, and lack players. We change way to many styles because we have no other choice. And I bet its a pain in the ass for Touchel and everyone else. But pointing fingers on the coach wont make it better because the reality is different. Will be a rough patch, but we will get trough of it. And also its not like we lack of possession or chances. But its enough to give away one ball, and it can go all against us. And way to many individual mistakes are made by the top players. Way to many wrong balls, wrong passes, wrong touches. The pressure is just builds on them.

Dier was not signed as a 6. He was picked up as a backup option for our shallow defense. Kim and Mazraoui with their country teams Stani loaned to Leverkusen Buchmann still out injured Sarr still out injured De Ligt just barely back from injury Now Upa AND Laimer with injuries Our regular back line is Davies and De Ligt. Now Dier. Throw in Krätzig maybe Guerreio, Kimmich, or Goretzka and now it's kind of taped up.

There is a god and, unfortunately, they hate Harry Kane

Thomas Tuchel have always been overrated that champions league win with Chelsea was just pure luck

Xabi Alonso is without a doubt the best manager in the world atm

better help is one hell of scummy company. youd do well to drop them as a sponsor

Tuchel looks like a leopard seal while screaming.

Xavi Alonso is cooking

Guys fc bayern didn't score at allianz arena in buli since 4 years before werder. 4 YEARS More then 48 months. And everyone acts like its armageddon. So now you have an idea of the status and the expectations, which fcb has in germany and europe. If you ask the fans and the criticans, they are not allowed to lose. Never. Ever.

Tuchel is doing fine, he's a great manager and would win anywhere he goes. Same is true for Nagelsmann, who's sacking was ridiculous. Sometimes teams have an amazing season that makes you look a bit worse, and thats all this season is. This story, from last season, is just another example of rich clubs (thats owners and fans) panicking over the smallest thing and burning their house down accidentally in the process. With Chelsea being the exception, any period of success coincides with longevity. Klopp failed to win anything at Liverpool in hilarious fashion for years until the spending hit peak madness. Ferguson, we know that story already. And Cruijff had two seasons of nothing (no the cup winners' cup doesn't count) before winning anything. Van Gaal had the greatest Ajax tenure (imo) of all time, but it took him 3 years to win the league. Rich clubs are losing their minds, with owners panicking over temporary stock prices and fans worrying about people laughing at their club on the internet. Everybody needs to relax and actually enjoy football.

Bayern recruitment has been odd for a couple of seasons, but they will be fine. Seems odd that the club isn’t recruiting Wirtz and allowed Haaland to go to City with little fuss.

i just think Tuchel's football is boring and not pleasing for the eyes.

I’ve said it’s not necessary Bayern overly underperforming, just Lever going red hot at an unrealistic pace. And still, with Lever drawing last week, Bayern controls their own fate. Beat them and they’re first again.

Grabs popcorn 🍿😁❤

He’s pushing out our favorite players and destroying the tactics that best utilize purposefully to make them look bad.

It's a Kane thing

Neither Nagelsman at Bayern or Tuchel at Chelsea should've been sacked

I misheard "Bayern fans who find poor play hard to comprehend" as "Bayern fans who find foreplay hard to comprehend". Might want to enunciate a bit mate, because I'm now concerned about my state of mind

It's poetic that Harry Kane goes from Spurs and never winning trophies to Bayern Munich and team that always wins trophies and turns them into Bayern Spurs.

Let's face it: the only thing making sense for Bayern is to sign Alonso, before any other club can and also accept that Leverkusen has the better tactics and the better squad. The other option is Alonso sign with another club, so Bayern has to sign Leverkusen players instead.

Bayer wasn’t eliminated by Freiburg they were eliminated by Saarbrücken (3rd Bundesliga)

Harry kane not winning a tile is inevitable.

I always thought Adrian would make a good therapist

I am still convinced Bayern snatched Tuchel because they envisioned Real Madrid to be too powerful with Tuchel

thank you for video i never like tuchel

German football just doesn't feel "german" anymore. However, it only a 3 point diff. Let's not get carried away.

Buyers beware better help is taking all your personal information and selling it to pharmaceutical and drug companies

Bayern sounds like Juve from a few years ago

Wait, wait, wait, in English you say "Thorn in the Foot"? In German we say "Thorn in the Eye" I guess a thorn is annoying anywhere

I really don't understand why they signed ERIC DIER of all people instead of going back for Palhinha or any other proper CDM really

Kane.

The Curse of Kane is real.

You can take the man out of Tottenham but you can’t take the Tottenham out of the man. Kane, never change man 😂

I don't see anyone else to blame but Kane 😅

Juventus also won undefeated under Conte

Here goes Harry's trophy 😂

Will Kane ever win a trophy?

Conclusion - Kane will go trophyless one more season

You can take the man out of Spurs, but you cannot take the Spurs out of the man.

Bayern went from attractive football to talibanball

I don’t see a problem. Wouldn’t it be good for the league if another team wins the league? I mean 11 in a row. That’s too much. League is dead if Bayern wins again this year.

being early feels so wrong usually I get here when the funny comments have like 50+ likes. Anyways great vid as always

You can take the man out of Spurs, but you can't take Spurs out of the man! Kane goes to the one club with guaranteed trophies and .....

Bayern this season are not 6/6 in the Champions League: they drew Copenhagen at home 0-0 on Matchday 5.

Bayer will beat Munich both when they face each other and in the league, with or without Boniface in the lineup from injury

Lazio might have a chance 😂lol

It would be grand for Neverkusen to become the champs for once but we know this drill. Bayern will sack Tuchel, bring in someone who wins them the league, and that person will be gone in 2-3 years. Rinse, repeat, Bundesliga monopoly continues.

go Leverkusen!

Bayern last year ar the same time had 7 points less. They are obviously better than last season. Only Leverkusen is just really having an insane season. Before Florian Wirtz had his ACL injury, leverkusen was top of the league. Now it's the same again. If Wirtz goes to bayern or leaves the Bundesliga in the summer, bayern will be in top again. I think, thats all it is

WE the fans want Tuchel OUT !!!!!!!!!!

sa li ha mitch itch

I blame kane idc

I see it this way: the team was not perfect under Nagelsmann but there was a promise of a "long term project" that I was bought into. Results did not need to be perfect if we were building for what was the 2025 CL in Munich. But Tuchel is not that long term project and had not made the team better, if anything it feels worse both in terms of the eye test and the feeling around the club, granted his results have not been terrible if you think about it. But the big thing is I think Tuchel is not a fit at Bayern and is slowly sinking and taking players out with him ie his fights with De Ligt, Kimmich, Davies, Goretzka, Muller, etc etc. I do think it would of been best if Nagelsmann never left but that is in the past atm Tuchel must be sacked just to salvage not the season but the atmosphere and the players for the next season. Would love to see Hansi till the end of the season just to ride the ship and see where we are

❤

Sack tuchel thts all

Better scam

as a bvb supporter I can only celebrate bayern struggling (as if my team is in any better form haha) but in the end we all know bayern gonna win the league again, after all is leverkusen we're talking about.

it would be so nice if someone else finally won. BL is worse than league 1.....
