Bavarian Podcast Works S7E9: Vincent Kompany’s success exposes Thomas Tuchel failures + How should Bayern Munich line up vs Bayer Leverkusen? A tactical preview

Bavarian Podcast Works

Bayern Munich are playing some of the best football we have seen in years. The club just got done scoring twenty goals in a single week and allowed ZERO shots (not shots on goal, just shots) against Werder Bremen. Vincent Kompany is proving the doubters wrong, and at the same time providing a damning indictment of the brand of football employed by former coach Thomas Tuchel. However, major challenges loom over the horizon.

In this episode, INNN and Cyler discuss the following:

• A deep dive into the differences between Thomas Tuchel and Vincent Kompany.
• Why Kompany’s players seem to suddenly be “playing better” in the new system.
• The curious case of Joshua Kimmich — how Tuchel gaslit an entire fanbase.
• Why Vincent Kompany’s relegation at Burnley may have set him up for this current level of success.
• Setting a baseline — our expectations for upcoming games against Bayer Leverkusen, Aston Villa, and FC Barcelona.
• Why those three games matter.
• How should Kompany line up his team? Does João Palhinha deserve a chance against Leverkusen?
• INNN is forced to shut up about Thomas Müller (for one episode, don’t get used to it).
• What is the major concern heading into the Leverkusen game? INNN and Cyler disagree.
• What would it mean for Kompany if he fails to beat Leverkusen?
