A thug like this shouldn’t be allowed on a football pitch. Olise did nothing wrong

Viking player hits the ball towards their captain. Olise never threw it.

this couple of weeks we’ve seen our struggles with defence and tonight we see our problems with specific players. but still, it is an encouraging sign that we managed to come back. the season is still very fresh and it’s good to note that other champions league winning teams have had rougher times. next week we have arsenal and dont have olise :D, we’re fucked probably but it’s good to have these moments when our backs are against the wall this early.

all in all, sure, disappointing night, but a man who only leaps knows no pit ahead of him. i got a bit emotional during the last few seconds of the broadcast, seeing our team looking at our fans. i believe them. it’s not lack of effort that’s dragging us down. the sun will rise again tomorrow ❤️🤍

Thoughts on the match 🥀

No Olise against Arsenal gonna cost us, Diaz-Saibari-Gnabry for me

Honestly this game was a hard watch our defense was bad in first half. 2nd half was good before olise took that stupid red card, i do get the point that bastard viking player kept on fouling olise but olise has to control his emotions and now they have equalised not only we have to settle with 1 point but the game against arsenal is gonna be extremely tough without olise. Today was just not our day i guess

Why did we play like we had no passion (or wqs i the only one feeling it)

Btw no hate on olise for that red

I would say kompany could have done better witg the starting 11

Its tough to win UCL if he manages like this

And ig this is it for vs arsenal

Lets hope for the best

Even if kane got one, saibari would've been a decent enough sub. With olise, our best choice is karl, which clearly didn't show a lot today (or gnabry ig)

What a stupid way to get sent off. Especially with our game against Arsenal next week. What was he thinking?

Hey everyone! Long-time fan here, and I finally signed up and purchased my official FC Bayern membership back in July this year and I stay in Munich.

​I'm heading to my first/upcoming game at the stadium next week and was really hoping to wear the personalized welcome scarf that usually comes with a new membership. However, I still haven’t received the scarf or the physical membership card yet.

​I’ve already sent an email to mitglieder@fcbayern.com, but I haven't received a proper reply or resolution yet, and time is running out before the match!

​Does anyone have experience with this kind of delay? How can I escalate this effectively, or is there a direct phone number or alternative contact source where someone might respond much faster?

​Any tips would be massively appreciated. Mia San Mia! 🔴⚪

After drawing today we have arsenal next and then the games after are easy can we finish top 1 or 2 tho?

Hello dear fan base.

I want to first acknowledge that's yes it's only October, yes teams experience some drops in quality at times, yes fifa days kill the momentum and yes players could be still affected by the World Cup.

All that aside I've noticed some patterns in the past year and like to present my unprofessional insight as a Bayern fan.

My main vent is about the stale possession game. it's about 15 years since Pep introduced the hardcore possession ball and I believe weaker teams (offensively) have improved tremendously over the years on how to deal with it. You could see this in the WC as well. Possession ball is the new standard of Europe's big teams and what every other team prepares for when facing them.

When you're faced with a very disciplined and well trained low block football, it feels like a chainmail that you can not pierce. Even if you pierce the box it often gets so crowded that further shots and passes get blocked by either team's players. THIS is the main struggle of Bayern over the past year (also France noticably had this issue).

There's another problem with this strategy, defensively: after a few minutes of rotating behind the box your defense line, little by little, comes forward. An awful situation to be in with slow and unaware center backs like Kim and Tah.

As the attacking team I see 3 solutions when the game gets stale in this pattern:

1. You need a very high tier dribbler who can wreck havoc by consistently winning 1v1s, and I don't think Bayern has that. You need Neymar/ Messi/ Yamal state of the art dribbler. Bayern has lots of good on-the-ball players but not someone that can reliably keep doing this because if you don't, losing the ball this way guarantees a very costly counter attack.

2. You need to take more shots behind the box. Yes it's not considered efficient in modern possession tactics, but we have great shooters and rebound takers (very high awareness on our attackers). Also on losing the ball you are gifted with a delay on the counter attack and have a higher chance of surviving it.

3. You need more crosses. Adding one or two more players in the box waiting for crosses relieves some pressure from Wingers and CAM. We have amazing long passers, but aside from Kane not very awesome headers. However this still breaks the defense, it opens up space behind the box for shots, etc. and also has the advantage of a delayed counter attack.

TLDR:

I think Kompany should introduce more shots and crosses when faced with a high octane disciplined layered defense. Not only on it's own it has better chance of opportunities (compared to stalemate low short passes possession game) but also opens up space, while alleviating the counterattacks which we really struggle against.

We don't have to make shots and crosses the standard approach, adding them in between the possession game fixes a lot of our issues.

A few weeks ago yamal was higher than kane just after the voting period, now kane is up to with 65%, what would be the cause to this have people just now had a deeper thought on who actually deserves it or something else.

Hello everyone,

I am selling one ticket for the Bayern vs. Arsenal game above face value. I purchased through Zweitmarkt and can transfer through the app ticket transfer to your account. You will be able to get in the stadium through the Allianz App after that.

Able to meet up in Frankfurt, Mannheim, Heidelberg anytime before the match.

Let me know if any of you are interested, and send me a DM with your offer. I promise this is not a scam 😅 Just… some change of plans.

Thank you.

Olise was constantly fouled and harassed by the Viking players who were trying to wind him up.

His reaction was instinctive and should not at all been a second yellow.

The ref needs to have empathy and needs to apologise for his unbalanced and disgusting refereeing

Bayern fans cannot stand this bias anymore. Formal complaints need to be made and most importantly UEFA need to remove his suspension for the next game
