Bavarian Podcast Works

Bayern Munich went out and got walloped 5-1 by Eintracht Frankfurt that was powered by a completely erratic and dysfunctional first half that set the tone for the entire match. When it comes down to it, though, Eintracht Frankfurt was better prepared, more energetic, and simply wanted it more than the Bavarians. It was disappointing to say the least, so let’s get right to it! Here is what we have...

It feels like an eternity since Bayern Munich has played because of last weekend’s cancellation against Union Berlin, but now the Bavarians are set to be back in action (check out our Preview Show ) against Eintracht Frankfurt. Just because the game was not played, does not mean that the news has stopped. Bayern Munich had another eventful week, which ensure that there is plenty to discuss. Let’s...

Bayern Munich ’s game against Union Berlin was snowed out last weekend, but the Bavarians will return to action on Saturday against Eintracht Frankfurt in a key Bundesliga showdown. Sitting in seventh place, Eintracht Frankfurt is eager to vault itself into the top-six position in the table, which could happen if Die Adler can find a way to knock off Bayern Munich. This version of Eintracht Frankf...

Schnitzel and Rayyan had time to discuss plots outside the weekly drama that Bayern experience on the pitch. Included in this podcast:- Do Bayern Munich really need to strengthen this winter? If so, where exactly? Is João Palhinha really the guy for this team? Have Bayern Munich actually improved under Thomas Tuchel? A reaction and preview of Germany’s opponents in the group stage for the upcoming...

It has been a bit of a crazy week for Bayern Munich . There was a boring win, followed by a more boring draw, but there was a whole of news in between, so in short, we have plenty to discuss. Let’s take a look at that is on tap for this episode: Why is Bayern Munich struggling right now. Is it Thomas Tuchel’s fault? Are the players underperforming? Is the squad flawed? Maybe...maybe not, but there...

The Bundesliga action is back for Bayern Munich this weekend as the Bavarians will take on Union Berlin at the Allianz Arena. For the Bavarians, a win is needed to keep pace with red-hot Bayer Leverkusen, the table-toppers in the league. Meanwhile, Union Berlin has had a putrid season, so far, and is in desperate need of a reboot to get back on the right track. Desperation, however, might not be e...

Bayern Munich and FC Copenhagen battled to a 0-0 draw in the Champions League in a game that no one really seemed to put much effort into. For the second consecutive match, Bayern Munich did not have too much pep in its step. The Bavarians had trouble getting going offensively against the compact and conservative approach from the Danish side. It would have been nice to Bayern Munich find a way to...

With recent flagship episodes pushing the hour mark more often than not, it was time to have a shorter episode to bring some variety to proceedings. This is not to say that things at Bayern Munich were uneventful in the last week or so — there was plenty to talk about with Thomas Tuchel making some odd choices in the game against FC Köln. In this episode, INNN and Samrin discuss the following: Was...

A Friday night tilt after an international break against a desperate opponent could have been disastrous for Bayern Munich , but like they have done so many other times this season, the Bavarians fought through some uneven play on both ends of the pitch to claim a 1-0 victory. Let’s take a look at what is on tap for this episode: A gander at Thomas Tuchel’s odd starting XI and what that might mean...

What a mess of an international break that way. Germany is a disaster under Julian Nagelsmann, but at least Bayern Munich is coming back this weekend. Given all of that, there is plenty to talk about, so let’s get to it. Here is what is on tap for this week’s episode: Assessing why Germany is a clown show these days (Hint: The answer is pretty simple). Looking at why Julian Nagelsmann cannot help...

Yes, we are a Bayern Munich podcast, but after the latest humiliation we simply have to focus on Germany this week. Losing 3-2 to a Turkish B-team is a new low, and we’re only three games into the Julian Nagelsmann era. Where was the free flowing football? The attacking concept? The tactical philosophy? It seems like the coach has fallen into the experimentation trap he experienced at Bayern Munic...

Ahead of the EURO 2024 competition, yet another international break is upon us. Bayern Munich players are spread out globally to represent their respective national teams, but that does not mean that there is not a lot to talk about with both the Rekordmeister and the boys representing Germany: Registering a formal take on the hotly-contested Harry Kane vs. Robert Lewandowski debate. The curious s...

As Bayern Munich enter another international break, one player has shone brighter than the rest. Harry Kane is a phenomenon — he has 17 goals in 11 Bundesliga matchdays, surpassing the likes of Robert Lewandowski and Gerd Müller. This has people talking, but that’s not the only major thing that has taken place in the last week or so. FCB youth player Aleksandar Pavlović made his starting XI debut,...

Bayern Munich ran out eventual winners over FC Heidenheim today in a game of ups and downs, with the Bavarians going 2-0 up in the first half only to see the lead vanish in minutes, but fighting back in the last stretch to bag all three points. There were some clear issues with the squad on display, but some individual performances that still stood out. In this podcast, we discuss the game and par...

Bayern Munich was sleepwalking for the majority of its Champions League match against Galatasaray, but did pull out a victory that frustrated many fans. The Bavarians eventually snared a 2-1 win ahead of this weekend’s Bundesliga showdown with Heidenheim. We will cover ALL of that, plus take a look at those pesky transfer rumors surrounding Joshua Kimmich and our old friend Robert Lewandowski’s re...

Craziness is abound as Bayern Munich had the most painful of losses and the most exuberant of wins within four days of each other. The Helter Skelter nature of the team’s performances on the pitch continues, but — more than anything — Bayern Munich keeps winning in the Bundesliga and Champions League . There is a lot to talk about and analyze, so that’s what we will do. Here is what is on tap for...

Bayern Munich beat Borussia Dortmund very convincingly, 0-4, in what might have been a surprise to Bayern fans but wasn’t a surprise to the just about anybody else. In this podcast, we discussed the following: How Thomas Tuchel’s position as head coach might change after this game; How Tuchel’s desire for a number six is impacted by this game; Will Joshua Kimmich’s position come under fire? What w...

Bayern Munich has had a week, eh? After some brief optimism seeped into the general public’s feeling about the squad, the Bavarians went out and got “out-hearted” ( not a word, but we’re going with it! ) by 3. Liga side FC Saarbrücken in the DFB-Pokal in what was a horrendous result for Die Rekordmeister . Why wait any longer, let’s dig into what is on tap for this week’s episode: A preview of Bay...

This is shocking. Bayern Munich have just lost to 3.Liga side 1. FC Saarbrücken, getting knocked out of the DFB Pokal in the process. Once brought in to save the treble, Thomas Tuchel has lost out on the treble for the second time in six months. Here are our talking points from the game: HOW did that just happen? This result was not a fluke — Bayern Munich have been playing like this for weeks. Le...

In this episode, Schnitzel and Rayyan discuss: Bayern’s midfield problems in the absence of Joshua Kimmich and potentially Leon Goretzka. How the attack has found its feet, particularly the upward trajectory of Harry Kane and how he has begun changing games, as well as Leroy Sané’s continued form as amongst the top players in the world. How Thomas Tuchel’s ‘game of two halves’ approach to matches...

This may be the craziest Bundesliga game in years. Bayern Munich went down to ten men early in the first half thanks to a Joshua Kimmich red card, but instead of capitalizing on that opportunity, Darmstadt surrender the advantage by getting two red cards themselves. Here are our talking points from the game: Why doesn’t Tuchel rotate the lineup more? Harry Kane is in the same situation as Erling H...

It has been an active week for Bayern Munich ...and BFW. Aside of a big win in the Champions League for Bayern Munich over Galatasaray, we saw BFW crash (at the worst possible time), a slew of transfer rumors , and some iffy coaching decisions that all lead into a Bundesliga match vs. SV Darmstadt. Clearly, this was a crazy week and we have plenty to talk about, so let’s get to it. Here is what is...

Bayern Munich picked up a win this weekend in the Bundesliga over Mainz 05, but bigger challenges lie ahead and the squad is officially battling #InjuryBlitz2023. Leon Goretzka became the latest Bayern Munich player to sustain an injury and the Germany international will be out of action until roughly mid-November if things heal properly. During a season where depth was going to be an issue, the B...

Bayern Munich made a triumphant return from the international break with a 3-1 victory over Mainz 05. It was not always pretty for the Bavarians, but there were some amazing sequences that gave fans a taste of how good this could all look once everyone is back in sync (and off of the injured list). Even with a banged up crew, Thomas Tuchel was able to push the right buttons enough to coax a victor...

Bayern Munich is back in action, the German national team made some progress, there are transfer rumors galore, and, overall, the craziness is back. This episode of the Weekend Warm-up hits on much of that, so let’s get right to it and take a look at what is on tap: A preview of Bayern Munich vs. Mainz 05 — and why this could be a very important match under less-than-ideal conditions for the Bavar...
