Dude they've played what, 6 games? And two of them against a city side with a stronger defense than any team they had faced earlier, and they still produced enough chances to score several goals. Might as well say the 4-2 vs Dortmund, which might have secured their Bundesliga title, is because they changed manager.

It isn't Tuchel's team yet. Judge him next season. Tbh I think it's highly plausible they'll both score and concede fewer goals than this season, but saying they lost against city because tuchel neutered their offensive capabilities is just ridiculous.

How is it Tuchels fault if their only striker is not on his peek after injury, Mane got bought and has not delivered all season, Gnabry, Sane, Müller not being good enough right now to even score against teams like fcking Hoffenheim?

They scored 4 goals in 6 games: De Ligt, Pavard, Upamecano and one penalty by Kimmich....
This team got build up by other managers, not Tuchel, with no real threat and creativity and without top strikers. Who is top scorer in the Bundesliga right now? And more importantly, where is the best Bayern player in this ranking? Rank 6, Musiala, a young guy that has massive talent but cant carry the rest of the team yet.

Did anyone look at the wikipedia link? Bayern is a team full of lethal goal scorers.

You dont always need the one goal scorer to win stuff. You can also just divide the goals between players (like city post-aguero and pre-haaland, arsenal this season, dortmund this season)

Still the team is not working and tbh, was not working way before Tuchel came. Have a look at the numbers this season and then compare it to the last couple of years:

2021/22 Robert Lewandowski 35
2020/21 Robert Lewandowski 41
2019/20 Robert Lewandowski 34
2018/19 Robert Lewandowski 22
2017/18 Robert Lewandowski 29

Have you seen them play in the league? It is still by no means a weak team but they suffer from two major issues:
- Not enough goals, by a margin.
- way to many mistakes and conceding goals because of them, the defence is bad since Alaba left.

I am sorry but this is getting ridiculous??

THIS SEASON: 78 goals scored
2021/22: 85 goals scored
2020/21: 80 goals scored
2019/20: 81 goals scored
2018/19: 74 goals scored
2017/18: 72 goals scored
2016/17: 71 goals scored
2015/16: 66 goals scored (PEP GUARDIOLA)

How is this not enough goals by a margin??? Or a major issue? Goalscorers are not the problem of Bayern. Can you guys check facts before you just repeat what clueless media is telling you?

I just love the fact that Bayern is falling apart since throwing out Nagelsmann.
Kahn is on the brink of getting cut, Brazzo is next.
Mane apparently got told he has no future in Munich and should start looking elsewhere

Now if only Dortmund wasn't too stupid to win the league

Bayern scored plenty of goals that season, I posted myself that they are the top tier team with the most goals in Europe this season. I'm just saying it is ridiculous to blame a manager when a team has 30 shots over two games against one of the best teams in Europe but still ends up with 1 goal.

They mostly looked very good against city, just not clinical finishing and a defender who had a couple terrible days at work. Tuchel might deserve some blame for Upamecano playing two full games, but not for the finishing ability of his players.

Bayern fans are very happy if Kahn and Brazzo go right? The fans really dont like how the board has been acting?

SEVILLE 3-0 MANCHESTER UNITED | Sevilla destroys United in a magical night

Sevilla sweeps the Sánchez Pizjuan against a disastrous Manchester United. The goals from En-Nesyri (x2) and Badé help Mendilibar's men to return to another semifinal of their tournament. The king of the Europa League is still standing!

LOL another clown fiesta show from MU!

DDG so bad. Maguire equally at fault for first goal by asking the ball in such a dangerous position - knowing fully well he's no ball player like Stones.

It's very clear by now why DDG has been dropped from the Spanish squad. Just mystifying how Maguire still gets first choice in England.

England play a deeper line and are more happy to launch the ball forward. Maguire is very good in this type of defence, as he was at Leicester.

Ye if his main tasks are defending crosses and blocking shots he is solid. I've only watched England in championships but there he has mostly looked great.EC 2 years ago I thought he was one of the best defenders in the tournament.

Maguire's weakness is compensated by England's defensive setup. He's shielded by the double pivot of Henderson/Phillips/Rice. Stones does all the real thinking and running. Sometimes, their formation even uses three centre backs. Without Maguire, England could perhaps be more dynamic and offensive.

How about giving Ben White or Tomori a shot?

Yeah Maguire isnt the worst CB in the world for sure but he is the worst if left alone.
He also always wants to take responsibility even if he is the lesser CB on the field

Watched the recap of the game.... this is just so sad. Was Maguires fault but ultimatively Sevilla was better. Just hope United gets a better defence someday.

we have a better defence. they both got injured and we got left with the old shit defence again. and its not just that were defensively worse; we rely on varane and martinez in the build up a lot and lindelof/maguire are objectively worse at build up play too.

Yes, Ten Haag wants more dynamic defenders for his dream setup. Bloopers aside, Maguire even at his peak form just doesn't have the qualities to fit into the mould. Quite unfortunate that both Varane and Martinez were out at the same time.
