Bayern Munich look worn out and clumsy. After a busy transfer window, signing big names like Matthijs de Ligt, Ryan Gravenberch, Sadio Mane and Noussair Mazraoui, the Bavarian giants are yet to get into their usual groove in Bundesliga. But, the Champions of Germany look defeated. There is a crisis going on at the club and their performances so far this season have looked underwhelming.
The players are not performing up to their potential. Whether it is playing together as a unit or performing well individually, Bayern have been disappointing. They are without a single win in the past four matches. From Julian Nagelsmann’s tactics, their defending and the team running out of luck, here are the top five reasons behind their underperformance.
1. Julian Nagelsmann’s tactics at Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich’s coach is a great talent. Initially, the starting lineups looked very sharp on paper, however, the team simply doesn’t look good enough to carry a lead into halftime. Something seems off, and definitely looks like they need changing.
With Sadio Mané looking completely isolated up front and Leroy Sané simply not being at his usual best on the right-wing, Julian Nagelsmann has to do something. The substitutions happen too late in the game for anything impactful to take place. There needs to be a change and it needs to be quick.

2. Bayern’s defence needs to improve
Bayern need to hold some accountability and be responsible for their actions. Bayern Munich’s defence has been unaware, their finishing has been inconsistent, and their passing has been inaccurate. Joshua Kimmich is finding it difficult to cut it in the middle of the park. New signing, De Ligt, takes too much time with unnecessary dribbles at the back. Sane and Musiala try too hard to perform skill moves and end up losing possession.
They should simply not expect to walk over their opposition all the time. They should stop taking every opponent for granted and work harder.
3. Mane not the replacement for Lewandowski
Sadio Mane hasn’t been able to cut out as a No. 9. He seems isolated upfront with not much support, with poor first…
