Could Bayern Munich's back line could cost them the Bundesliga title? | ESPN FC

ESPN FC's Stewart Robson, Steve Nicol and Craig Burley discuss the Bundesliga title race and Bayern Munich's chances of retaining the title with the likes of RB Leipzig, Borussia Dortmund and Borussia Monchengladbach chasing them. Robson is unsure Bayern's defense has what it takes to see out the title, while Burley and Nicol feel Bayern's performance vs. Leipzig at the weekend left a lot to be desired.

[@AndrewGunner]

Which one. The Bundesliga one, or the KZbin one?

Could this title cost someones job?

[@goldenboyxiii4095]

Clearly it was written by Stevie "wordsmith" Nicol.

[@mikerodrigues2906]

Correction could this title could cost someone's job . Say that three times fast

[@mystikkrap]

Think maybe an unpaid intern wrote this so probably not.

[@yuhakim1436]

When Bayern has the most cleansheets and least goals conceded

[@yougothere6000]

Because Alaba is very good at CB. Also Kimmich, Pavard, Martinez, Davies and Goretzka putting alot of defensive efforts into it.

[@hokagepouyafutbol7]

Bayern have climbed their way to first with a make shift backline the whole season. They deserve some more credit in my opinion

[@da1pete366]

It could possibly could I could suppose.

[@iryaniedit2317]

Well no Bundesliga team has been great defensively this season and when you look at Bayern only Dortmund have scored more (only 1) and Bayern along with Monchengladbach have the least conceded with 23

[@diegovasquez3783]

Yea bvb have been bad defensively as well that's why I think there probably not going far in the ucl

[@JLB96-]

Alaba has been great as a CB and Davies has been incredible as well. They miss Süle a lot tho Boateng is on a decline

[@Butter.Toast11]

Their lack of knowledge in football and grammar is veryyyyyy similar 😂😂😂

Could ESPN could talk about irrelevant topic could?

[@deshon10001]

I'm sorry but why aren't we talking about davis 👀 this man dominated lipzig

[@millymahinra3900]

Upamecano? He dominated the whole game

[@TheWudanKnight]

Alba and Hernandez are the best option for counter attacks both are very fast and when both of them where playing at the same time you could see they were pretty solid

[@AgeoftheGeek_]

Honestly every teams defense is vulnerable. Barcelona, Madrid, City, everyone needs to sort themselves out defensively. Liverpool seem like the only team who can defend properly atm.

[@losblancosynadamas8847]

Are u naturally dumb or do u put in effort? Real Madrid has the best defense in Europe, with the most cleansheets as well as the least goals conceded. There is no defense that comes close to them except for liverpool's, and even liverpool's defense is behind them by a distance. Attain some football knowledge instead of setting away this time for humiliating urself on the internet

[@medbee6067]

Really ESPN?? This title 🤤🤤

[@pXmTS]

I think it's enough for the rest of the season, especially with BvB and Leipzig showing inconsitancys right now.

[@MaheshKumar-dn2hb]

Could you could check could the title could before posting could?

[@reserveneoon6579]

Hernandez is fit so Boateng is out

[@AJ-zj1fm]

I rate Bayern's defence

[@diegovasquez3783]

Hernández is injury prone? Just a thought but he does have potential

[@reserveneoon6579]

Diego Vasquez cc no at Atlético he was not injury prone since then he was not 100% fit. Deschamps rushed him back

[@ahmadloulo7004]

Obviously , there is a huge problem in the back and Bayern should deal with this cuz the champions league knockout stage is ahead of them only a matter of 10 days or so. So that being said, Lukas and Pavard should be at the central back position in the next two matches so that they can find some kind of chemistry between them before the important clash against Chelsea because Bayern need two fast central back players to stop Chelsea forwards.

[@moistpeanut5986]

Could ESPN FC could write a better title?

[@WildwoodClaire1]

Despite the widespread disparagement of Bayern's backline, Bayern is tied with Monchengladbach for lowest number of goals allowed.

[@chrisheyl1962]

Nice title

[@stampedmetalsword8099]

That title unprofessional. Someone didn't take their time in rustling up the video title.

[@SvenDoes]

They first say that bayerns defence is bad, then they talk continiously about them not scoring instead of awnsering the fk question: Will their defence cost them. This is the reason why these people obviously know nothing

[@deanbeckerley5530]

I came here for the comments about the title

[@yougothere6000]

RB Leipzig are missing Konate and Orban.

[@WildwoodClaire1]

Burley and Nicol always sound as though they've watched one substandard performance and pessimistically projected it as the norm for all upcoming fixtures.

[@AndrewGunner]

Bayern will win the bundesliga title, and espn will mess up the youtube video title

[@dhavaltamhankar6925]

Real Madrid have Conceded Only 14 Goals in the League This Season

[@znhait]

Bayern’s defense is abysmal, but still good enough to win the Bundesliga. On the other hand, an opponent will put four past them in the CL.

[@yougothere6000]

Bayern's defense is still good enough to steamroll over their opposition in their UCL group (including "mighty EPL opposition" who got to the UCL final just last season - and that after Frankfurt thrashed Bayern 5 - 1 in the Bundesliga).

[@znhait]

@@yougothere6000 Exactly: group stage. Not only that, Spurs were abysmal under Poch. Bayern should worry about not losing by 2 or 3 goals to Chelsea. That's what I predict will happen at Stamford Bridge.

[@craignaumann2339]

Man Bayern's defense is so bad. That's why they haven't won the Champions League since 2013 and don't dominate in UCL. They got exposed so many times against teams like Real Madrid and Liverpool because of it.
