"Bayern Munich returns after the international break with a banging performance, putting six goals past Freiburg and showing the world their attacking prowess. Yet the performance still has a sense of incompleteness with Manuel Neuer conceding two goals in less than 15 minutes of action. Both of which came from corners. Trouble with dead balls Bayern has been the most fearsome attack all across Europe. Die Roten's open-play defense has also improved tremendously with the magnificent link-up of Jonathan Tah and Dayot Upamecano."
"However, their set-piece defense still stands out as a glaring weakness: the last four goals Bayern Munich conceded were all from set pieces. The first Freiburg goal this past weekend came from a near-post delivery that was flicked onto the middle of the box for a tap-in. The second one was aimed towards the far post for Johan Manzambi to head it in from close range."
"Look further back into the Union Berlin game, and both goals were rooted in individual mistakes from Bayern players defending the set piece, with Neuer bobbling the ball into the net and Kane's terrible clearance. In the DFB-Pokal tie against Cologne, Bayern also let in a goal from a corner, as well as plenty of other chances that could have led to more goals had it not been for Jonas Urbig's excellent reflexes."
Bayern Munich produced a six-goal outing against Freiburg while Manuel Neuer conceded two goals from corners within 15 minutes. Open-play attack and defensive link-up, notably between Jonathan Tah and Dayot Upamecano, have improved significantly. Set-piece defense remains a glaring weakness, with the last four conceded goals coming from dead-ball situations. Freiburg scored from a near-post flick and a far-post header by Johan Manzambi. Earlier matches versus Union Berlin and in the DFB-Pokal tie with Cologne also exposed set-piece vulnerabilities rooted in individual errors and organizational issues around defending corners.
