Bayern Munich battled back to earn a 2-2 draw with Mainz 05 in a surprising result in the Bundesliga. What were your takeaways from the match? Here are few that leapt off the screen to us:
- 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.
