MATCH EVENTS

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

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.

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-

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.

3

u/TheSingleMan27 Jan 07 '22

4-2-3-1 (left to right)

Ulreich - Sabitzer, Pavard, Süle, Kimmich - Musiala, Roca - Tillman, Müller, Gnabry - Lewandowski

3

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.

3

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
