The Winterpause allows us some time to reflect on the good, the bad, and the ugly from the first half of the season for 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 midfield group. Here is some of what the duo discussed on the show:

• The value of Joshua Kimmich.
• The promise of Aleksandar Pavlović.
• The underrated performances of Leon Goretzka and Konrad Laimer.
• The uncertainty surrounding where João Palhinha might fit into this midfield in the short-term and the long-term.
• Ratings on each of the players.
