"Following a forgettable midweek performance against Arsenal FC in the Premier League, Bayern Munich returned to the Bundesliga. Their woes seem to not end, for the same pattern of physical and mental fatigue played into their game. Facing FC St. Pauli at home, in what was otherwise an easy fixture for the Rekordmeister, turned into a nightmare as Bayern conceded mere minutes into the game."
"Following midweek, Manuel Neuer started this game as well. Of course, the Arsenal fixture is one that the keeper perhaps wants to forget at the earliest. In the midst of a solid performance, Neuer made a gross miscalculation that resulted in Gabriel Martinelli scoring Arsenal's third goal. But despite such errors, he remains the indisputable #1. His age seems to be hardly a matter of concern for the club who are keen on keeping him."
Bayern Munich returned to Bundesliga action after a forgettable midweek Premier League outing and showed recurring physical and mental fatigue. The home fixture against FC St. Pauli, expected to be straightforward, unraveled when Bayern conceded within minutes. Raphael Guerreiro equalized in the 44th minute, but Luis Diaz and Nicolas Jackson scored late winners in the 93rd and 97th minutes. Manuel Neuer started despite recent costly errors in the Arsenal match and remains the undisputed number one goalkeeper. Neuer’s contract situation remains open, with renewal depending on how he feels and a decision likely by the March international break.
