For those who saw the latest Bayern Munchen match, you would have to agree it was quite shocking.

Three months ago, Bayern was expected to win everything the side participated in: the UEFA Champions League, the DFB Pokal and the Bundesliga.

Bayern was on top of its game, they were in an unbelievably astounding form, and the best part was, all the haters and supporters knew it.

Nowadays, however, Bayern is on a roll – in defeats. Bayern is desperately in need of help, they are already eliminated from the DFB Pokal tournament and will most likely be eliminated from the Champions League this Tuesday.

It is true that Bayern won the Bundesliga title, but they are losing to unknown rubbish teams which names can’t even be pronounced. But how did this happen? The answer is quite simple.

Bayern are in a terrible form right now, suffering four losses on the trot and will probably face their fifth loss pretty soon on Tuesday.

This is for many reasons, but the first is coach Pep Guardiola. For example, Guradiola has many of the best defenders on the face of the Earth, but he decides to use the worst ones. He substitutes the players that are doing extremely well and trying the best that they can with ones who are literally useless.

This is all while leaving the players who performed terribly alone to continue destroying the match.

Another reason is that Bayern had most of their best players injured. And even though most returned, the four star players -the ones who really make the difference – are still out. These players are Arjen Robben, Frank Ribery, Robert Lewandowski, and David Alaba. Ribery and Robben are both quite older than the other players in their team, so it is quite expected for them to become injured quickly and recover slowly.

They both play as attacking midfielders and they always score the most goals.

Robert Lewandowski is the striker. He is the finisher. Even though he is still playing, he isn’t very effective or helpful mainly because he wears a mask (because his nose and jaw were fractured recently) and because he doesn’t have anyone to properly get the ball to him.

Alaba is an excellent young defender that really adds the spice to the food. He is young, ready, excited, but most importantly, motivating. He is also the best free kick taker in the team. He suffered a serious injury in his knee but is expected to return soon.

With the Bayern stars’ absence and the manager’s poor decision making, Bayern is now like a building with no pillars, a pepperoni pizza without the bread, an egg with a weak shell. In other words, Bayern’s pride and glory is being demolished in front of their own eyes, and they can’t do anything about it.

Bayern fans are disappointed and frustrated to see the best team on the face of Earth play below themselves. Bayern have to pick themselves up, stop feeling bad and guilty, move on and get motivated.
