Bayern in the individual critique: Grade 2 for offensive trio – but one defender also shines!

FC Bayern wins 4-0 at 1. FC Heidenheim on the 15th Bundesliga matchday. The Bayern stars in the FCBinside individual review.

Jonas Urbig: Wasn’t involved at all in the first half. Was lucky in the second half with a header against the crossbar from Heidenheim’s Schimmer and when Bayern loanee Ibrahimovic shot over the crossbar from a good position. Urbig then made two strong saves from Schimmer and ensured that Heidenheim didn’t become dangerous again when the score was 2-0. Grade: 2

Josip Stanisic: Gave Bayern a 1-0 lead with his header. Solid at the back as a right-back and repeatedly made a good contribution to Bayern’s attack, including his superb assist for Diaz at 3-0. A strong game from Stanisic! Grade: 2

Dayot Upamecano: Was confident on the ball in the build-up and won his duels. Experienced performance from the central defender. Mark: 3

Jonathan Tah: Had a header chance but failed to beat Heidenheim keeper Ramaj. Shortly afterwards, Tah headed again from an Olise corner, Ramaj got to it again, but Stanisic was then able to head in to make it 1-0. Defensively, Tah acted calmly and solidly. Mark: 3

Hiroki Ito: Hammered one shot wide of the Heidenheim goal in the first half. In the second half it was closer, but also over. Overall, Ito played a flawless but largely unremarkable game as a left-back. He was substituted in the 72nd minute. Mark: 3

Raphael Guerreiro: Somewhat surprisingly came on as Kimmich’s deputy in central midfield. Brought calm to the game with his ball security, but was unable to provide any highlights offensively. Overall, however, a decent performance from Guerreiro. Grade: 3

Leon Goretzka: Didn’t drop off as much as in previous games. Carried balls forward more often and dared to take a riskier pass. Goretzka once put a dangerous shot just wide of the goal. Grade: 3

Michael Olise: Stanisic made it 1-0 for Bayern after his corner. Olise then scored after a chaotic situation to make it 2-0 for Munich. Olise put pressure on his right side and was always dangerous – with set pieces, dribbles and several good passes. Good game! Grade: 2

Lennart Karl: Distributed the ball well in Bayern’s attack, but was too hectic at the start of the second half and put the ball wide of the goal. The youngster was not as eye-catching as in many of his appearances in the first half of the season, but played a solid game overall in Heidenheim until he was substituted after around an hour. Grade: 3

Luis Diaz: Was hard-working and determined, but didn’t get into the most dangerous situations for a long time. However, he was always ready to play and also worked at the back. He rewarded himself at the end with his goal to make it 3-0 with a diving header. Mark: 2

Harry Kane: Played as captain in the absence of Neuer and Kimmich. Had a shot on goal in the first half, but shot into Ramaj’s arms. Hit a shot against the far post at the start of the second half. Ramaj then had no problems with a shot from a turn by Kane. Kane worked hard for the team and scored his 100th goal in the Bundesliga at the very end with the 4:0. Grade: 2

Substitute

Serge Gnabry (62nd for Lennart Karl): Couldn’t make an impact after coming on as a substitute and pretty much disappeared. grade: 4

Alphonso Davies (72nd for Ito): Kompany’s next substitute after his long injury lay-off. Didn’t let anything get in the way after his substitution and created danger once with a sharp delivery from the left. Mark: 3

David Santos Daiber (72nd for Guerreiro): The 18-year-old made his Bundesliga debut. Didn’t have many touches of the ball and was – of course – keen to avoid mistakes for the time being. Mark: 3

Cassiano Kiala (90 for Upamecano): Came on too late to score

Wisdom Mike (90th for Olise): Came on too late to score
