4 Talking Points: Borussia Monchengladbach 2-1 Bayern Munich

Profligate Bayern Munich

Hansi Flick's promising start is beginning to dissipate

Perhaps statistics don't tell the whole story, but Bayern Munich were absolutely rampant for about two-thirds of the game. They registered 16 shots in the game, 5 of which were on target, but only had a single goal to show for it.

The likes of Ivan Perisic, Thomas Muller, and Joshua Kimmich all had a fairly good game. they didn't get much particularly wrong and created chances, but they failed to finish them off. Robert Lewandowski hardly ever got into a threatening position and was limited to shooting from the edge of the box.

The few times they did get through, their shots were off target and poor, except the turn and shot by Perisic that found the back of the net. It's also harsh on Yann Sommer who had a good game to say that Bayern were poor in front of goal, but the Bavarians will surely rue the missed chances.
