Harry Kane with 2 assists - one for Sane and one for the own goal.

Kane’s first touch was pure class there on his goal. Kinda happy for him

Class touch that.

Now that he doesn't play for Spurs and had shown a modicum of actual ambition, I can be a full on, unabashed, Kane fan

How can Werder play such a high line and yet propose absolutely nothing in their overall play.

It seems that teams in the Bulli play a high line just for the sake of it

Kane needs to go off. Think the BL is a bit too hard for him. Needs to come back to the premier league to be able to last 90 minutes.

Musiala as no.10 is not working. He's not gonna amount to much if he doesn't change his position.

Muller in as a 10 behind Kane will presumably be the play in bigger matches.

Why does Bayern allow Adidas to give them such a hideous kit?

Hideous away kits have been a thing for Bayern since at least the early 90ies. I think this is one of the better ones among the hideous ones.

Muller always feels like he makes players around him better. Even in this game, it’s been much better since he’s come on.

These last 10 minutes have been so much better than the 80 before.

What is the ridiculous label he has ? "Playing in liminal dream spaces" or something like that ? But yeah Müller is one of those players that makes Bayern better though it's not clear how, at points.

Isn’t it “interpreter of space” or something?

No vision. Runs with his head down far too often.
you are sort of describing Leroy Sane here. Who, by the way, is competing with Gnabry for the record in "most reliable in hitting the only defender within 20yds with a cross from an unforced position"

Musiala, give the kid a break. He is 20 and literally spent the majority of his career without a #9 in front of him he could pass to.
If you watch him play, even with a mediocre performance like yesterday, and dont recognize the insane talent this guy has, you need a new pair of glasses :)

Musiala is great. But in my eyes this "playing as a 10" does not help him. And not because of a nine or not. In 2000 minutes with Choupo-Moteng it is one assist Musiala for him, 3 from him for Musiala... It is 1 assist for Müller and 8 from Müller for him.
The 9 or the player ahead of him helps him more with his own singular actions - not the other way.

In my eyes he played a lot better in the recent 2 seasons from the 8 or as a left winger/left 10 than he did as "normal" no. 10. And yesterday he even got some space.

He is great because of his individual skills - and that is fine as you really need that in a team. Just do not try to make him to something that he is not or will not be in the shorter future.

The levels when you see Davies compared to our full backs is truly night and day isn't it

The match to go today is probably Leverkusen vs Leipzig. I will watch the friendly at that time that Bayern does in South Tyrol - but look into that match, too.

He is still sometimes too careless when defending or dribbling since he assumes his speed and acceleration compensates enough. That is why Pavard is really great to have as a more defensive and asymmetrical FB.

Quite an entertaining conference today. Gladbach and Leverkusen having fun.

Edit: But Leipzig still have Olmo I guess :(
