Defensive woes befall Bayern yet againThis has been a recurring theme for Bayern since their return from the international break. The 3-3 draw with Viking is a stark reminder that the Bavarians have struggled to defend their goal, whether they’re holding onto a lead or up by several goals. Bayern completely dominated the Lawnballers, who only got their first shot on target with just over 10 minutes left to play. That screamed clean sheet, but Bayern somehow finds ways to concede goals. The 2-2 draw with Augsburg was more down to defensive errors, but it posits the same problem: Bayern’s defense is nowhere near as stable as last season. Against Paris Saint-Germain last year, Bayern managed to limit Luis Enrique’s side to just one goal in one half of football, after Luis Díaz got sent off. The puzzling thing is he managed it with the same set of defenders, more or less. At the very least, Bayern has Vincent Kompany in charge because as a former defender, he can help tighten up the back. The Belgian helped Dayot Upamecano cement his reputation as a solid defender, so he’s more than fit for the task. With Arsenal looming large, the team must organize themselves properly and accordingly

Initial reactions and ObservationsBayern played a near perfect match today, and preserved enough players for the big game against Arsenal. Maarten Vandevoordt produced 11 saves today, the highest number of saves in a single match so far in the Bundesliga. Luis Diaz was electric today. He got the hat-trick his performance deserved. Kane and Olise were potent up front as well. That’s all, folks. Thanks a bunch for staying with us. The big one is up next: a home match against Arsenal. Bayern did beat them 1-0 before but that was under much different circumstances. Can the Bavarians win it? Maybe, but we’ll have to find out in a few days.
