"The goalkeeper was excellent in August, September, and October, but November has brought some tough times for the veteran. Shaky performances vs. Union Berlin and SC Freiburg were followed up a bad 3-1 loss to Arsenal where it could be said that Neuer should have stopped the first goal and the last goal. The performances vs. SC Freiburg and Arsenal also came just days after Neuer was reported to be sick."
""When we decide to change the goalkeeper, it's always in consultation with Manu. We didn't do that this time, and I have to consider what's best for the team. We also want Jonas Urbig to improve - but the timing needs to be discussed calmly; we haven't done that yet. I've only been focused on St. Pauli," said Kompany (as captured by @iMiaSanMia)."
Manuel Neuer performed excellently in August, September, and October but experienced shaky performances in November. He struggled against Union Berlin and SC Freiburg and conceded a 3-1 loss to Arsenal where he arguably should have saved the first and last goals. Those performances followed reports that Neuer had been sick. Bayern considered whether to rest Neuer and use backup Jonas Urbig, but Kompany said changing goalkeepers requires consultation with Neuer and has not been done. Kompany emphasized focusing on the St. Pauli match and noted the timing for Urbig's development must be discussed calmly.
