The Real Problem With Bayern Munich

The title provides may sound a bit repetitive, but it is important to go to the root of the problems at one of europes biggest clubs. Bayern munich will most likely be seven points behind Dortmund by the end of the week and out of the title race, frankly their record after the winter break has been terrible, a three point lead has turned into a seven point deficit, the problem is a lack of a long term strategy both on and off the field. Dortmund settled on a strategy under Klopp and implemented it, the rewards of which are visible. Bayern  in recent years have hardly improved, a poor season leads to panic buys and a successful season is followed by stagnation, the directors need to come out of their arrogant shell and spend on quality players. The defence has been poor for years, rafinha is no willy sagnol, the depth is non-existent. Bayern need to appoint a young, dynamic coach{babel} and move forward with a proper long term strategy, temporary solutions like heynkess is not the answer On the field bayern have no system, its eleven individuals depending on miracles by either robben or ribery, the absence of leadership is startling, players panic when things go wrong.

Bayern munich is in a crisis, no questions about it. The directors must either buckle up or resign, young guns like kahn,effenberg can at the least bring some fresh ideas. It looks likely that bayern will have another trophless season, but if repairs are not done then there might be more such seasons in the future.
