Episode 13 – Grinding wins, again

Narrow 1:0 wins over Frankfurt and Koeln see Bayern nine points atop the table but neither victory was an inspired performance. Is this a case of “what is there really to complain about”, or rather are Bayern Munich just coasting until the winter break? To parse this, Susie welcomes Marc Almstedt and Randall Hauk to the podcast.

Getting into the Frankfurt victory, they do a lot of talking about Arturo Vidal and whether he is a detriment or valuable to Bayern. Jupp Heynckes’ passive tactical approach to the match is also discussed before some well-deserved praise of goalkeepers Tom Starke and Sven Ulreich.

Koeln is Randall’s team, so much of the focus comes from that angle. Very organized defensively, he opines the Billy Goats can take a small victory in their narrow defeat. Susie asks him about the club post-Peter Stoeger, and what is his opinion on Stoeger’s subsequent hiring at Borussia Dortmund.

The group winds down the podcast with a bit of nerdiness on their favorite comic book heroes and a Star Wars/Star Trek you-pick-em. Thank you, as always for tuning in! We’ll be back with you after the BVB Pokal showdown. Mia san mia.
