FC Bayern - Thomas Müller serves: "That's why I have a nice tie"

Thomas Müller has denounced problems with the recruitment of his team after Bayern Munich’s third straight draw.

“Today I’m angry for the first time in this whole season. And angry at ourselves,” said Müller after the 2-2 win against VfB Stuttgart sky-Microphone. “I think we have to understand that if we want to win every game – and that’s our goal – and it’s only 2-1 and we’re not up in the table yet, then you have to go to the last ten minutes – English weeks or highlight game or not.”

After the third draw in a row, Bayern initially took the lead again, but could lose the top position again on Sunday. “It also has something to do with how bilious and grippy we are up to the last second. We’re not yet top of the table. That’s why I have a nice tie today,” added Müller.

In added time, newcomer Matthijs de Ligt owed a penalty after kicking Serhou Guirassy, which the fouled converted to make it 2-2.

Müller did not want to judge whether one or the other was already in mind during the game against FC Barcelona and the reunion with Robert Lewandowski on Tuesday. “Everyone can decide that for themselves. At the end of the day it doesn’t matter at all. If we want to get to the top of the table as quickly as possible, we have to take a look at ourselves. Every one of us.”

Müller the worst – a big ray of hope! The Bayern notes to the next blunder

1/17

2/17

MANUEL NEUER: He parried the one quite dangerous ball from Stuttgart that he had to parry. Didn’t always seem very happy with the people in front of him, which he told them a few times. Powerless at the penalty. Grade: 3.5.

3/17

NOUSSAIR MAZRAOUI: Bit into the game. While he was still standing on Mathys Tel at the beginning and running around rather wildly in the area, he gradually became more daring. Submission to 2:1. Grade: 3.5.

4/17

DAYOT UPAMECANO: This time attentive and flawless throughout his season. Significantly more on the ball than de Ligt. Grade: 2.5.

5/17

MATTHIJS DE LIGT: In itself, a sovereign and inconspicuous performance by the defense chief. But he couldn’t really shine. Culpated the penalty just before the end when he stepped on Guirassy’s foot. grade: 4

6/17

ALPHONSO DAVIES: He kept dribbling and kept getting tangled up. Defensively quite attentive, but owed the 1:1 forward not only with the dribbling very hard. The submission to 1:0 upgrades the grade. grade: 4

7/17

JOSHUA KIMMICH: Far from his gala form in the Champions League on Wednesday. Can be increased in a tackle rate, lost a little too many balls and was lucky that Silas’ goal was decided in favor of a foul. grade: 4

8/17

LEON GORETZKA: Very committed to making his comeback from the start after an injury break, wanted to make his mark on the game. But he was only able to do this to a very limited extent. Not much more on the ball in the first hour than, for example, Mathy’s Tel. Grade: 4.

9/17

MATHYS TEL: Almost stuck a bit too much on the right wing at the beginning to prevent Borna Sosa’s excursions. Significantly more often on the ball than the other offensives. Scored 1-0 and became Bayern’s youngest Bundesliga goalscorer. Grade: 2

10/17

THOMAS MÜLLER: He’s used to traveling a lot, very useful pressing moments, but the role at the front only suits him to a limited extent. No shot on goal, although statistically it was usually the closest to the Stuttgart goal. Grade: 4.5

11/17

JAMAL MUSIALA: Had a lot of turnovers. Then again he tried to get into three Stuttgart and outplay them, which seemed slightly arrogant. Lost the ball before 1-1. But then just made this beautiful goal to 2:1. grade: 4

12/17

SERGE GNABRY: As rarely on the ball as Thomas Müller. Four shots on goal, but only one was really compelling – and he missed it. Grade: 4.5.

13/17

JOSIP STANISIC: Came for Mazraoui. Was in the game immediately, demanded the ball and often got it. Grade: 3.5.

14/17

LEROY SANE: Came in for record goalscorer Tel, struggled to put the score at 3-1. Grade: 3.5.

15/17

ERIC MAXIM CHOUPO-MOTING: Came in for Thomas Müller in the 68th minute and scored one more shot on goal than his predecessor. Grade: 3.5.

16/17

RYAN GRAVENBERCH: Came in for Gnabry in the closing stages. Without rating.

17/17

SADIO MANE: Came in for Musiala in the last few minutes. Without rating.

Thomas Müller: “I have other worries right now”

When asked about VfB Stuttgart’s goal conceded by VAR after a foul on Joshua Kimmich, Müller said: “I have other worries than this situation right now. It wasn’t much, but textiles were part of it. I don’t need the whistle that helped us now defend. Josh has the body in. That’s what the referee decided. In the end, I don’t give a damn what the referee called or didn’t call because it has nothing to do with whether we win the game tonight or draw. “

Müller’s conclusion: “Today, for the first time, I have the feeling that we gave something away.”
