We've always been bad at defending, but we controlled the game, particularly the midfield, so much that it compensated for this leaking defense. Problem now is that our midfield is too damn weak. It doesn't protect the defense, it doesn't set the tempo and doesn't help the pressure forward.

Alaba is (unfortunately) on his way out.. he can't be a starter anymore
Sule... I don't know what happened to him , but he is not Bayern material anymore
Davies needs to forget his dream season 19/20 & start afresh

We need to buy a RB so we can push Pavard at cb when needed.... Preferably Lamptey & secure
Upamechano

I don’t think we played badly tbh, but our defence is still poor and so is Costa.

The 2nd goal did not look valid to me. He was onside but it seemed like there was a foul before?

We have turned matches around with individual performances, mental strength and a bit of luck. It was a matter of time that this would happen.

Foul and offside ... both...

Thing is that we were really playing well, moving the ball around really well, a lot of moving and running without the ball...
Intelligent pressing... then .... a black hole

When were we playing well? When?

We took a more than lucky lead, that helped us and then scored a long range shot... That’s it... They were the better team and unlucky to fall behind in the first place...

Regarding Sule I have to say it looks like he is carrying a a few kilos too much.

It's... Inexplicable.

The worst defence ever. One thing is to have a bad coach such as Klinsmann, but to have an absolute winner of everything handling this team so bad, putting horrible tactics that our defence looks 10x worse than it is...

Shameful, really shameful. We deserved to lose tonight because you can't get away match after match like it was the case this season. Even the weak Bundesliga must sometimes place you down and tonight was the night to do so.

I'm extremely disappointed because I hate to see my teams conceding goals. What scoring 3-5 goals is great in attack, the same is worth for keeping the clean sheet in defense every single match.

So, what solutions do we have to solve our defence issues? Play Lucas Hernandez? Skip the high line? Move Kimmich to rb? What do you think?

Have we even ever seen Lucas partner Suele in central defence?

I have suggested that many times and I think that is the best we can do. But Sule has had some terrible matches.
