Deja Vu.. another bad start to the Bundesliga Season

You've seen this before haven't you, you must have if you are a Bayern fan.  Two years with Van Gaal, the season with Klinsmann, yet again Bayern start the season in poor form..  a loss at home vs Borussia Monchengladbach.  I am not overreacting about the loss, as it's only the first match of the season.  However a lot of what I saw was dissapointing.  Off the ball movement was non-existant, players just expected someone to do it all themselves or merely a two player combination to get a goal.. or perhaps the amount of crosses coming in which hardly were effective bar 3 occasions all match (there were over 20 crosses).  The safe passing was also discouraging, Bayern was playing it safe all match vs a team that finished 16th last season in the Bundesliga and at home, never anything creative but all predictable which made it easier to stop.  The amount of hopeless crosses into the box was getting more and more apparent that Bayern lacked any real ideas.

 Boateng dissapoints first match of the season

Another tactical change was the positioning of the forward line, they were allowing BMG during the entire match to pass the ball around their defense when during Van Gaal's era they never allowed teams to breathe even in their own half.  Their goalkeeper and central defenders had far, far too many touches and allowed too much time on the wall.  Gomez was positioned as an attacking midfielder during the entire time that Bayern wasn't in hold of posession.  I am unsure why this was, you have to ask the coach.  The move itself is ridiculous as Bayern should at the end of the day be playing attacking football.  If not, then at least one of Ribery, Robben or Muller (if not two) need to get benched/sold for a better counter-attacking formation.  However they are all great players and it would be ridiculous to do such a thing, yet Heynckes was playing overly defensive even though BMG defended nearly the entire match.  The defense was actually solid for once, bar the silly mistake which both Neuer & Boateng were at fault for.  Schweinsteiger also should look at himself today, he was awful in that match and added nothing to the game.  He was basically playing defensive midfield (again Heynckes, why are there 2 defensive midfielders against a team like Borussia?), but not offering much defensively like Gustavo was.  Generally bar the defense (excluding their error), there was nothing positive in the match vs BMG.  They have a lot to prove, as they are already 3 points behind Dortmund who look just as good as last season! 

The only optimistic point here is that the last time Bayern lost at home to BMG, they won the Champions League in 2001!
