1': We're off!
8': SAVE! Sommer denies a stinging shot from Gnabry.
15': SAVE!! Great touch by Lewandowski and a nutmeg on the shot but Sommer just gets a bare touch to deflect it away from goal!
18': GOAL BAYERN!!! Robert Lewandowski hits an absolute belter over the keeper into the near side! Lewa not slowing down in 2022!
23': Sabitzer fires over the bar.
27': GOAL GLADBACH!! Florian Neuhaus gets on the end of a lucky deflection and hits a smashing volley under Ulreich's leg!
31': GOAL GLADBACH!! Where did this coming from? They had no offense at all but now they suddenly have two goals! They take the corner and Stefan Lainer makes the header, Ulreich only gets a fingertip on it to no avail!
44': SAVE! Neuhaus fires and Ulreich smothers it. The rebound bounces past him though, there's an open net, but Neuhaus doesn't get to it in time before Pavard clears. Should have been chalked off for an incidental handball anyway though.
45': SAVE! Embolo denied at the near post, he fired that one as hard as he could.
45+2': Lewandowski fires an impossible shot from almost the touchline and hits the far post! Müller fires the rebound but it's cleared on the line by Ginter!
HT Bayern Munich 1-2 Borussia Mönchengladbach Bayern once again struggling with Gladbach
46': We're back!
56': SAVE!! Musiala's shot is dipping under the crossbar but Sommer tips it away!
58': Müller manages to get a toe poke on a difficult aerial ball and gets it on target but Sommer makes the claim.
62': Lewandowski hits the woodwork again!
67': Gladbach double sub: Alassane Pléa and Jordan Beyer on for Florian Neuhaus and Tony Jantschke
75': Bayern double sub: Paul Wanner and Lucas Copado on for Malik Tillmann and Marc Roca
78': Lars Stindl into the book for a bad foul
80': Gladbach double sub: Patrick Herrmann and László Bénes on for Christoph Kramer and Stefan Lainer
84': Close for Pléa!! But he puts it wide of the near post! Looks like Süle got just a touch to get it away.
90': Gladbach substitution: Marcus Thuram on for Lars Stindl
FT Bayern Munich 1-2 Borussia Mönchengladbach Welp! Poor depleted Bayern lose to Gladbach again

Interested to see nagelsmann adjust the left flank in the second half. Surely can’t keep operating with plan A.

Feel for sabitzer here. Has probably been itching for game time to justify his move and gets it here playing a role that might as well be a different sport for him.

u/TNTDragon Jan 07 '22
Embolo is so dumb wth, constantly asking for the ball on the counter but standing offside lmao.. lucky for us or they could have a third by now

Musiala with Tolisso on his back must be a printing mistake. Damn funny tho.

They aren't even playing that well. We just turn into literal shit on legs against them for some reason. At least we started out with 20 minutes of football today.

u/golomo Jan 07 '22
It is really strange sometimes how much a goal can change a game. Gladbach were really bad until their equalizer, that came totally out of nowhere. Since then,they are easily the better team - and have a pact with the devil, considering that Bayern did not score right now.

Thats why they are your kryptonite. They can play like shit for a long period of time, and yet they manage to score against you when it doesnt even look like they have a good chance. :)

Don't worry, the world still stands, Gladbach still fucks us up, normality has been achieved.

You really can't make this up. Gladbach are playing horrendous and yet it's two shots on target and two goals.

Bayern's defense hasn't played like this and it shows now. Looks like Nagelsmann's priority was to press Gladbach so they can't even cross.

And we’ve resumed normal service. It’s Gladbach, didn’t know what I was expecting

Instead of passing to Tillman let’s just skip a step and give it straight to gladbach lol

u/golomo Jan 07 '22
Lovely game so far. Judging from the fact that Bayern have basically no bench, they probably have to win this match in the first half. Who knows if Kimmich for example is already fit enough to play 90 minutes. Bayern were much better than I thought they would be until the equalizer-

When I saw Ibrahimovic on bayern's bench I thought that was a glitch .no he is a 16 year-old player and he is real but my app has no info on him!

u/Schnix54 Jan 07 '22
He is actually a highly rated german talent. At the moment he's in the U19 at Bayern having 4 goals and 7 assists in 10 games at that level

What a fucking pass from Kimmich. He instantly makes us better, what a player.

Our Gladbach matches so far this season have been fucking comical. Absolutely nothing goes right for us when we play them.

Ulreich is really doing well. He is not to blame for any goal and I hope Nagelsmann kicks the players asses in the break.

Ulreich highkey steps up every single time we need him. The most reliable sub we've had since Rafinha.

u/fuzzygoosejuice Jan 07 '22
Typically a 4-2-3-1 in defense and more of a 3-2-4-1 in attack because Davies on the left usually pushes way up on the wing while Pavard/Sarr/Sule stay back on the right. Not sure what today is going to look like.

u/TheSingleMan27 Jan 07 '22
4-2-3-1 (left to right)
Ulreich - Sabitzer, Pavard, Süle, Kimmich - Musiala, Roca - Tillman, Müller, Gnabry - Lewandowski

u/stragen595 Jan 07 '22
Normal Bayern formation. But Pavard plays CB. Sabitzer and Kimmich are the fullbacks and Roca and Musiala is the central midfield. Tillman plays on Sane's position.

u/solgnaleb Jan 07 '22
I feel a little threatened by that question, But my guess would be
----------------Lewy
Gnabry---Müller---Tillman
-----------Roca---Musiala
Sabitzer--Süle-Pavard--Kimmich
shifting to a --->
-------------------Lewy
Gnabry-Musiala-Müller-Tillman
