The issue is off the ball and the profiles on the ball though. With Davies he could drop back into a back 4 letting Bayern defend in a 4-4-2. Also with Davies it was Coman playing as a RW in those isolated areas and not someone meh in 1v1 situations like Gnabry.

Now Coman is playing on the left and his selfishness is a lot more annoying. He wants to cut inside when Sane is already there. The Davies injury has been such a big miss. You defend in a back 5 now with two wingers right?

Bayern should have the individual quality to win despite those weaknesses. It’s just that defending with 4 on the ball is something even Pep has given up and he’s obsessed with control. It makes Bayern too open on the counters. If he plays like this against actual big teams in the CL that will be incredibly risky.

Yeah but one of the 6 was Phonzie who acts as a defender too because he has that engine and that recovery speed, basically a cheat code

Since Phonzie is unavailable, Nagelsmann's system has crashed. And Musiala is much weaker against the ball than Goretzka, and tactically weaker too
