Hosted by Chuck and Samrin

The Winterpause allows us some time to reflect on the good, the bad, and the ugly from the first half of the season at Bayern Munich.

In this three-part series for Bavarian Podcast Works, we will breakdown each position group — Attack, Midfield, Defense — discuss each player and provide rating for how we feel they have played so far this season.

Chuck and Samrin break down the defensive group. Here is some of what the duo discussed on the show:

• A breakdown of the vast list of players, who we could not rate because we did not see enough of them.
• A look at why Manuel Neuer might be a lot more maligned than he deserves — and why Daniel Peretz needs to show more if he wants to be “The Next One.”
• Alphonso Davies has been a lot better, but is he in the midst of a “contract year” or is this the real Davies awakened from a three-year slumber?
• The best and the worst of Dayot Upamecano and Kim Min-jae.
• Ratings on all of the players.
