Bayern’s playing style is expected to change under Vincent Kompany next season. The Belgian often used a 4-4-2 system. The era that started with Robben and Ribéry under Louis van Gaal, where the attacks are mainly carried out over the wings, could be coming to an end.

1. If that’s true we need another forward. In that case I‘d love to get Zirkzee back. He just had a good season at bologna and with Kane, Zirkzee and Tel we would have nice depth at the position

2. Maybe I’m crazy, but I feel like Gnabry would actually cook really hard as a second striker.

3. Kompany played a 442 in 2 of his 5 seasons as a manager from what I’ve seen?

4. He hasn’t played a 4-4-2 really. Yes sometimes his formation against the ball was a 4-4-2, but I wouldn’t call this playing 4-4-2. He more often played 3 at the back where one of the fullbacks goes up the field and the other stays to form somewhat of a 3 at the back
