Well who saw that coming? We were hoping for it, but didn’t expect Bayern Munich to deliver in this manner. When it comes to the league, Borussia Dortmund bottled it at the last minute versus Mainz, basically handing us the title — BUT Bayern still had to get the job done versus Koln and they did. It was a touch and go thing, but thank god (and maybe Brazzo) for Jamal Musiala. Anyway ...In this episode, INNN and Fergus talk about the following: Bayern Munich were completely unconvincing versus Koln and that’s unacceptable. Talking about the ruthless sacking of Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic by Bayern. Could Bayern have an FC Barcelona moment someday? The pros and cons of bringing back Rummenigge and Hoeness. Is it a mistake to not bring in a new sporting director for the summer? Wait, why was Oliver Kahn FORBIDDEN from attending the Koln game? What is going at this club? How is history going to remember Oliver Kahn and Brazzo? A quick aside — would Matthias Sammer come back as sporting director? The deep concern about the names rumored as potential future sporting directors. Dark clouds hovering over the long term future of FC Bayern Munich. Will the sacking of Brazzo spark concerns in players like Kimmich, Musiala, and Alphonso Davies?

Bayern Munich’s season will come to a disappointing end one way or the others and there is a lot to examine. Needing a win over FC Köln, along with a loss or a draw from Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich is in danger of going trophyless for 2022/23. Let’s take a look at the hot topics for this edition of the Weekend Warm-up Podcast: A look at the Lucas Hernandez situation and why Bayern Munich was right to be cautious with the Frenchman despite the potential for outside interest. Can Paris Saint-Germain get a deal done to bring Hernandez back to France? Can a deal for West Ham’s Declan Rice get done? The wild ride of Dušan Vlahović rumors from this week. Why fan frustration is probably at an all-time high for the last decade — and it does not totally have to do with potentially finishing behind Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga.

What a journey this season has been for Bayern Munich. Here we are, the final Preview Show of the season — and a match that means something, but could end up meaning nothing at all. Borussia Dortmund’s result against Mainz 05 will determine whether or not the Bavarians have any shot of being the league winner. That means that Bayern Munich has to play this match against FC Köln out in the event that BVB coughs up its two-point lead in the league and risk toying with playing youngsters or gambling that recently-injured players are fully healthy. This is what we have on tap for this final 2022/23 edition of the Preview Show: A look at where each team sits in the league table. Some thoughts on how it all got to this point, why change is imminent, and the overall disappointment that things worked out this way at Bayern Munich. An attempt to guess Thomas Tuchel’s lineup and why it could be the last time we see a few players and player combinations working together in a significant way. A prediction on the match.

Well, that was fun while it lasted. Bayern Munich have dropped points to RB Leipzig in shameful fashion, handing the lead in the Bundesliga back to Borussia Dortmund. The league title is practically out of reach, which means Bayern are set to go trophyless for the first time since the 2011/12 season, which was over a decade ago. This has has left people feeling shocked and upset, so we ask some important questions about the future of the club. In this episode, INNN and Tom talk about the following: Who deserves the blame for the season going boom? INNN and Tom argue about what percentage of blame each party deserves — the board, Nagelsmann, and Tuchel. What happened to the mentality at Bayern Munich? What transfers should Bayern make next season? Is a striker enough to tip the scales? Why moving Joshua Kimmich to the #8 position wreaks havoc on the squad. What are the two major mistakes that Tuchel MUST NOT repeat next season? Will a new champion change the perception of the Bundesliga within the wider footballing community?

This is a game that could decide the title race. Here are our talking points ahead of the game: Who’s in and who’s out in the lineup? Thomas Muller should obviously start. A case for Leroy Sane on the right hand side, and Musiala on the left. Heresy for some: Maybe give Leon Goretzka a chance. Why does Joshua Kimmich get everything he wants? Why Dayot Upamecano will have a tough time getting his spot back.

Things have been difficult for Bayern Munich lately; not even Thomas Tuchel (despite his questionable choices) can deny that.

So in about three weeks, Bayern Munich have been knocked out of both competitions and are no longer leaders in the Bundesliga. The football is dire and coach Thomas Tuchel seems to lack any answers. The majority of the questions, however, will be directed at the men at the top — Oliver Kahn, Herbert Hainer, and Hasan Salihamidzic. In this episode, INNN and Fergus talk about the following: Is it time for the Bayern Munich board to go? Who is the #1 culprit behind the current state of affairs? The curious case of Hasan Salihamidzic and his work as a sporting director. Oliver Kahn’s lack of vision, his role in sacking Julian Nagelsmann, and the consequences. What does Herbert Hainer even DO? The lingering influence of Uli Hoeness — how much power does the current board actually have? How the absence of Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is felt at all levels. A final word on whether the board should stay or go. Is Thomas Tuchel still the right guy for the job? Doubts about the coach’s judgement — lineups, tactics, player selection. What kind of transfers should Tuchel be given? The absurd scenario: Could Julian Nagelsmann ... return to Bayern Munich? Are there any alternatives to Tuchel? Putting the season into perspective.

Well that’s it, Bayern Munich are cooked. The Bundesliga title is sliding out of reach, and honestly should’ve been well out of reach if any competent challenger existed in this league.

How Thomas Tuchel has completely abandoned the simplicity we saw versus Borussia Dortmund. Why can’t Bayern Munich score the second goal? The demise of the “can-opener”. How the Thomas Tuchel DNA is already becoming visible at Bayern, and it’s not good. Thomas Tuchel doesn’t seem to know the strengths of his squad. Another case of awful substitutions — why sub Thomas Muller and Joshua Kimmich? Calling on the board to resign on the back of this gamble, and many other mistakes.

Well that’s it then. Bayern Munich are out of the UEFA Champions League. Since winning the treble in 2020, the quarter finals seem like they’ve become an impassible wall that this squad cannot get past. Manchester City showed this group of players a different level of football as they overwhelmed possibly the most mediocre Bayern Munich team we’ve seen in years. The second leg is reduced to a formality now. Here are our talking points from the game: The horrible decision to bench Thomas Muller in a game this big. Dayot Upamecano’s huge mistake compared to the season he’s been having. The abject performance of the offense. Leroy Sane, Jamal Musiala, Serge Gnabry, Kingsley Coman — all not good enough. “Captain” Joshua Kimmich’s complete lack of leadership on the big stage. INNN’s conspiracy theory about Kimmich. How much blame does the board bear for this elimination? Shouldn’t this loss also come back on Thomas Tuchel?

This week could be crucial for the outcome of the entire season as the club gear up to face Manchester City in the first leg of the Champions League quarter finals.

Comparing the squad construction in offense vs defense and the huge mismatch between the two. Does Bayern Munich need to sign a new striker in the summer? Who’s available?

The Bavarians were stunned late in a 2-1 loss that was ultimately decided on a crazy turn of events that occurred after a yellow card to Sadio Mané, a handball on Jamal Musiala, a converted penalty kick by Lucas Höler, and a lot of crushed dreams for Bayern Munich fans. SC Freiburg was determined to not give up anything easy and Bayern Munich had its patience tested, but offered no solutions. This is what we have on tap for this show: A look at the scoring breakdown and why it was clear early on that Bayern Munich had its work cut out for it. Why this match was so frustrating and how it looked like a game we have seen a million times before with this team. Assessing Tuchel’s second game at the helm of Bayern Munich — what went wrong and why we should put the brakes on his coronation as King of Bavaria. Why this was so painful for me to watch!Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.

So the Thomas Tuchel era starts with a bang. Bayern Munich dispatched Borussia Dortmund with 70 minutes of ruthless efficiency combined with 20 minutes of complete incompetence. 4-2 flatters the opponent because it could’ve easily been 6-0 in the first half itself. Safe to say, it looks like Tuchel has hit the ground running. Here are our talking points from the game: Why did Thomas Tuchel return to the standard 4-2-3-1? A quick recap of how the game played out, and the poor play in the final 20 minutes. Why Thomas Muller looks soooooooo much better in the 4-2-3-1 system, especially compared to his role under Julian Nagelsmann. Subbing Thomas Muller remains a critical mistake no matter what your tactics are. The resurgence of Leroy Sane and how he came alive in the second half. The potential changes that could improve this lineup — mainly Jamal Musiala and Noussair Mazraoui.

So this came out of nowhere and we just HAD to react to it. Bayern Munich have decided to sack Julian Nagelsmann with immediate effect, and former Chelsea and BVB coach Thomas Tuchel is set to be named his successor. This is an insane set of developments, especially given the timing during an international break and with the game vs Borussia Dortmund coming right after.In this special edition reaction (or rant) episode, INNN and Schnitzel talk about the following: The strange timing of the decision. Arguing back and forth about Nagelsmann’s record and the decision to sack him. Can Thomas Tuchel get Bayern on track before facing BVB and Manchester City? What criteria does Tuchel need to fulfill to be a success at Bayern? What happens to the board if Tuchel can’t hack it? And arguments. Lots and lots of arguments.
