This Vincent Kompany era is starting to look like something.
Bayern Munich kept the good vibes flowing with another dominant win on Saturday, this time 5-0 on the road at SV Werder Bremen. The Bavarians remain perfect through four games in the Bundesliga.
Now for some quick hitters:
- How about that Harry Kane? Dropping team, firing a ball over the top to find Serge Gnabry in space, then getting into the box to get in position for a point-blank header in the 72nd minute — clawed away by the keeper on this occasion — epitomizing his completeness as a forward.
- Needless to say, though, it was the Michael Olise show.
- Leroy Sané is pushing very hard — almost too hard — to make an impact in his substitute appearances as he makes his return from injury. Is he feeling the pressure?
- Is there a stat for vibes and energy? This Bayern team does not conserve it. Maximum running, gung ho attack, total suffocation from the opening to the final whistle. What a change from a year ago.
- This was one of the limpest performances Bayern has seen from an opponent in a long time. Considering Bayern’s last two games were 6-1 and 9-2 wins, that’s saying something. But Bremen did not even manage a single shot. Not shot on goal — zero shots. How does that happen? Credit to Bayern’s structure, as well as relentless defending.
- Leverkusen up next. Can Bayern knock off the defending champions early?
