"Joshua Kimmich was very good, but he still needs a rest. With a week in between games, it is doubtful he will sit. Hopefully Vincent Kompany can manage Kimmich better in the second half of the season. Lennart Karl is the straw that stirs the drink for Bayern Munich these days. Every sub except Aleksandar Pavlović was ineffective at best, poor at worst."
"Kompany is doing Tom Bischof a disservice by not giving him midfield minutes. Bischof is also less-than-capable at left-back. Bayern Munich has a set piece problem. Serge Gnabry needs a mental reboot after that match. Do any of those fit what you were thinking or are they completely different? Tell us your takeaways from Bayern Munich's win in the comments below!"
Bayern Munich fought back to earn a 2-2 draw with Mainz 05 in the Bundesliga. Joshua Kimmich delivered a strong performance but shows signs of fatigue and likely needs rest despite a week between matches. Lennart Karl is currently the key creative and driving presence for the team. Most substitutes failed to change the game, with Aleksandar Pavlović the lone positive impact off the bench. Vincent Kompany has not given Tom Bischof midfield minutes while Bischof struggles at left-back. Bayern displayed set-piece vulnerabilities and Serge Gnabry appears to need a mental reset after the match.
