Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>Dismantled by league rivals Leverkusen, the coach and officials of Bayern Munich were busy getting bits and pieces together over the past few days.<\/p>\n

Ahead of a Champions League encounter against Lazio in the Round of 16, cause analysis ended up detecting a leader problem in the Bavarians\u2019 squad.<\/p>\n

Intending to trigger leadership power Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel is most likely changing his line-up relying on the experience of silverback Thomas Muller.<\/p>\n

So far, the 34-year-old hasn\u2019t been his first choice, having only been appointed in eight of 21 league games. When it comes to the Champions League the 2014 World Champion enjoyed only one starting eleven nomination.<\/p>\n

Following his failed tactics implementing a back row of three against Xabi Alonso\u2019s side, the Bayern manager is expected to return to a row of four aside from calling for Muller and Joshua Kimmich.<\/p>\n

Unrest has taken hold of the entire club while the 2024 German national title has come out of sight due to a five-point setback. A disappointing performance in the Champions League is said to increase the pressure on the Bavarians coach while other reports speak of significant squad changes in the upcoming summer.<\/p>\n

While Tuchel is facing criticism from former stars such as Stefan Effenberg and Lothar Matthaeus, mainly Munich\u2019s active personnel are being pilloried. Effenberg spoke about a quality problem regarding leaders and regulars.<\/p>\n

Muller\u2019s harsh analysis delivered only minutes after the final whistle in Leverkusen is regarded as a desperate wake-up call.<\/p>\n

The German international admitted to being highly annoyed due to a lack of responsibility takers. \u201cWe don\u2019t play with free heads, we pass on the ball without a plan. It\u2019s enough. It\u2019s on us players to turn things for the better. It\u2019s not the time to talk about the coach,\u201d the striker said.<\/p>\n

Statistics might speak for Bayern when crossing swords with the Serie A side as the Germans remain unbeaten in 11 of their last 16 Champions League matches.<\/p>\n

This time, considering the sportive setbacks, the issue is turning into a do-or-die situation.<\/p>\n

To get the instability under control, Tuchel is said to be heading back to a 4-2-3-1 system, which the side has been relying on over many years.<\/p>\n

Having to replace the injured Serge Gnabry and Kingsley Coman, the disputed Goretzka and Kimmich will have to kick the can down the road while Jamal Musiala, Leroy Sane, Muller and Three-Lions captain Harry Kane need to improve upfront.<\/p>\n

The Bavarian\u2019s offence has been far off the performance level delivered before the winter break. The clash against Lazio is keeping minds in Munich busy while changes regarding the coach and the squad are postponed with a new sporting director, Max Eberl, joining the club on March 1.<\/p>\n
