Bayern under Company so far

1. It’s too early to judge based on performances against weaker teams, we’ll know once the BuLi starts. But I do have to say the team looks way more in control compared to last season and I love the minutes Muller is getting. He looks more effective than he did at any point last year. barring injuries we can do great damage in the league and CL fosho

2. We definitely had a much better preseason so far under Kompany than Tuchel last year

   But we still need to Play first in the bundasliga to see and judge how his plans work in important games

3. It’s too early to judge imo. We have definitely got a great start to this year under him & given the form that few players are showing it’s making me feel very optimistic about this season. Hopefully this carries on till the end.

4. Everything is great until it isn’t, and everyone turn on him and wants him out and then on to a new coach.

5. I mean goal scoring has never been a problem, even Tuchel kept it near 3 goals per game, so that’s nothing new.

   Kompany’s style seems attractive, but again, we’ve yet to see Bayern against a serious opponent (Spurs is a serious opponent but a pre-season friendly is not the same as an official match).

   The big big issue that’s been there even before Flick, is not being able to keep clean sheets and conceding goals from low xG chances. I wonder if it’s at least partially due to playing with a double pivot instead of a 3 man midfield, which makes Bayern’s nominal formation a 4-2-4 (because the CAM is doesn’t track back nor press much).

   Most of the times Bayern can concede 2 goals and just score 3 or 4, but in big games, that’s when being able to “suffer” and win 1-0 if necessary makes a huge difference.
