Nagelsmann once again schooling Ancelotti... 2-0 this time.
Bayern should hire Tuchel, Nagelsmann, Sarri or another similar coach if they want to keep up with the times. I guess the majority of adequate Bayern fans acknowledge it.Once Ancelotti's time is up maybe Bayern fans will begin to appreciate Pep's reign there.

@Maldeika, remember I suggested a year ago that once Pep's drills are washed away from players' reflexes, you should expect a rude awakening? That's what is happening now. It doesn't mean that Ancelotti is impotent coach, but his attempts to mantain attacking/pressing system are futile as he probably lacks knowledge to train such things. So, what you have now is a disfunctional team of high-class individuals.

High-class individuals who have other abilities than that what is needed in the Xmastree formation Ancelotti seems to want.
Ancelotti had a free go with the press last season - but that has shifted recently. But inside the club there is FC Hollywood again since some months, too.
Pep had one big fault - controlling first in the away matches (first ones) in the Champions League final stage in a 4-3-3. Made the attack toothless and against the big teams we made the odd mistakes that we had to pay for in the second match when the parked the bus. Against middle teams we might have been toothless in the attack with 4-3-3 and this teams can park the bus great either - but with our 4-2-3-1 we always were able to knock them out often with big results.
The Bayern fans that are into good football and tactics always appreciated Pep.
Well, I'm not a coach, but I'd take a guess the problem is declining automatisms, not formations per se. The players seem to have forgotten how to move, create space for each other and how to press quickly in certain situations. Such thing are mantained only by regular training in rondos, mini-games etc. if I'm getting it right. If the coach lacks knowledge to use these tools, the gameplay steadily disintegrates.High-class individuals who have other abilities than that what is needed in the Xmastree formation Ancelotti seems to want.
