  1. 6:00 Keep Underestimating Muller, believe me He will be the one that will be the game changer.
    Just ask Barca Midfielders who like to have 60+ possession. Still Muller comes top out of them.

  2. You're going to get thrown to the ground again and again and again, but when you decide to become unbreakable, you'll do whatever it takes to get back up and fight for what is yours.

  3. Musiala can play 8, 10, wing – he will get enough match time – with and without Müller – and Müller sometimes even will need to play striker because Choupo cannot go 90 all the time. So – where is the problem? Especially Coman never plays through for weeks either. Müller right now has to play whenever possible because we need him for the structure – everything just functions better with him – even Musiala functions better.

  4. ffs how did ALL of ESPN not get the memo that musiala was injured and that's why he missed international break with germany despite being needed. He was on the bench against dortmund not because he was "the easiest to leave out" or because of Müller playing but because we KNOW that he's so important to bayern that we can't risk him. Tuchel just came to bayern 2minutes ago and he already knows that musiala is not to be risked. He's an indisputable starter. And about the Müller thing: the best (and most stable) games bayern played were those with both Müller and Musiala starting. They are not fighting for the same position.

  5. Either or, personally i would start Müller …. i am not scared about City … have u seen our bench, Musiala, Gnaby, Mane, Cancelo …

  6. it's the first game. Tuchel went with a very safe lineup. i don't think the selection for this game is necessarily indicative of who will play the most going forward. Neuer i think is done at Bayern. he's 37 and suffered a serious injury. i know Sommer isn't exactly young at 34 but he's a great goalkeeper so if you have a better and younger player, it's an easy decision to just move on. as for Muller, he's only 33 and his game was never about pace so i think he can still contribute but obviously Musiala will continue to get a larger and larger share of the game time as we go into next season.

  7. Müller and Musiala already played together, this guy should watch more football or just don't talk. Musiala plays his best as Left Winger this season.

    Now on Tuchel's eyes is hard for him and Musiala will have to earn a spot again, because Thomas doesn't know what's he capable of in that wing, we all know he is very good dribbling, and i know he is very fast too, not to Coman's level fast, but he is fast..for now Tuchel will have to keep his starting formation without Musiala or without Eric, till any of the 2 wingers underperform…

    Also the question is stupid i mean Musiala just got 20 years old, he is not a Superstar just yet, he needs to keep growing and i bet the next season under Thomas, the coach will find a spot for him without any pressure. Thomas has to win everything with a team he doesn't know yet. Musiala is special has looottt of tricks but at this point for tactics Sane and Coman are safer in the wings, till Tuchel's understand how to use all Musiala's tricks. The best i saw from Musiala was in the left wing or in the middle with Sane in his side. Musiala Sane made lot of passes between them, like the game against Barcelona, the did those kind of plays very often when they played those spots.

    But the think is Mane, Gnabry, well if those are the problems that Bayern have then I'm very very glad…..also Gab guy who have not idea of football best Bayern defender this season has been Upamecano and he is just 24 years all, if you are going to mention Bayern's future, he is on that list… Man this guy hates Bayern…badddlyyy

  8. Gab have favourites like pep , klopp etc whatever they do gab appreciate nd when they fail gab puts blame on board , ref ,lack of spending and opposition not playing good football but other managers won gab question his team selection , his spending, his style of play etc Jamaal is not like messi he is young player he had to sit on bench wait for opportunity same with other young players

  9. Müller has everything that the team needs, if Tuchel plays like this. Wingers making fancy plays and dribbling, and Muller just touching the ball fast without holding it, or allowing the ball to pass near him while he holds defenders, so his teammate can score (like 4th goal against Dortmund). If we are going to play fast, we can't have all players holding the ball. Müller also helps a lot with the press because of his tactical awareness, that's something that Musiala cant do. Imagine Bayern pressing high to win the ball back with Coman Musiala and Sane….or Bayern pressing high to win the ball back with Coman Muller and Sane, Muller knows what to do all the time and he tells his teammates what to do…Musiala don't even speak and Coman and Sane are not the best pressing. Is a no brainer. I understand that people hates Germany like this Gab guy, but he is talking nonsenses

  10. There's no way Choupo is being benched cause of Musiala. That'd be stupid to drop Choupo, in favor of Musiala. Musiala is still a kid and sometimes, these pundits need to realize that young players are still young, and in most games, you'd rather play the other experienced players over youngsters. Yes, we love Musiala but I don't think Dropping Choupo is a good idea in favor of Musiala 🤷🏽

  11. its reported, by Kicker I think which I truly trust, that the team wants both Müller and Musiala to play. love that. 2 amazing amazing players who can lead Bayern´s attacking play.

  12. Why would Tuchel really care about long term and Musiala wasn't fit anyway? Tuchel needs results, otherwise it's over in a blink. Actually, Bayern doesn't do longterm coaches anyway and it works for them. Also, Musiala and Muller could play in the same side.

  13. Musiala wasn't fit… Respect to Muller but when Musiala came in his 10 minutes were twice as good as Muller's 45 minutes. Muller is a legend though so no disrespect to him I mean.

  14. Müller is so important on the pitch as a second hand of the coach! Musiala is far superior technically, but they played BOTH for so many games this season… what's the point?

  15. Musiala is a generational talent.
    Bayern will keep Musiala and they are eager to keep him / to extend his contract.

    They will have to sacrifice "Müller" for Musiala.

  16. the fact they don't know musiala's situation proves these guys aren't equipped to chat bundesliga. it should be derek rae, not these 2 comeguzzlers

    either way, bayern would beat dortmund with no coach and 9 men on field. dortmund's backline is slow af

  17. brain dead video, these guys clearly dont watch bundesliga. Musiala was injured, muller can not be cf nagelsman already tried it. Also nagelsman already figured out a way to play both musiala and muller together with a 3-4-2-1 and tuchel is also experienced in 3atbs he will get them working. Musiala can also play on the elft

  18. Lmao all these english media pundits talk about Bayern always like Bayern is in grave danger or some huge trouble 😂😂 meanwhile in actuality Bayern is one of the best or arguably the best run club in europe and will trash any EPL club any day except Man city 😂

  19. Musiala was injured and still not fit. Not the mention they can play together. Nobody make Musiala stay on the bench. Don't do this job if you don't know sh*t about team or league. You just sounds like a clown.

  20. Musiala even want to play with Müller together. He mentioned it pretty often. Against Dortmund they played with two CM in front of Kimmich in ball possession. This time it were Müller and Goretzka, you could easily replace Goretzka wirh Musiala

  21. Before doing such a nonsense discussion you should maybe do some research.
    Honestly, It's embarrassing for a big channel like ESPN not to know that Musiala was injured and is still not fit. Doing such a discussion is almost like spreading fake news to the world.
