Statement comeback! Initial reactions and observations

Jamal Musiala was sorely missed in the past few games. Musiala completely elevates this attack ? the quick movement to score the header and wonderful assist to set up Harry Kane speaks volumes about how he alone can decide a game.
The first half saw subpar chance creation from open play. The team looked disjointed and confused in the final third and didn?t move fast enough or make the right crosses. The second half was an improvement, but there is work to be done there.
Bayern?s brilliance in set-pieces was almost reminiscent of those under Anthony Barry. Very well planned by Vincent Kompany & Co. and perfectly executed in-game. Kingsley Coman had a terrible game, despite the banger he scored toward the end. Alphonso Davies was the driving force on the left flank. Sané scored his first league goal in a year. Good place to start, but fans will want more from both.
Overall solid reaction after the loss, but maybe some youth faces would've been cool to see towards the end. On to Mainz in the Pokal.
