    Lewa has been the difference. Switch Lewa back to BVB in exchange for BVB's best forward and I think BVB win multiple titles over the last five years.

    I've been pretty happy with the time Richards has been getting. Next year I think a loan to a Bundesliga 2 team would be appropriate, if not a low level Bundesliga 1 team.

    Getting games is super important, but also building up a defenders confidence is important in development.

    True. A loan to a Bundesliga 2 team or a Bundesliga 1 team like Mainz or Augsburg would be great for him.

    So he never said Kimmich would start in the midfield but he did say no Boateng.

    That leaves Pavard and Javi as the 1st team CBs. It would make sense for the backline to be

    Alaba Pavard Martinez Kimmich

    Richards could be on the bench as a reserve.

    But who knows, new interm coach Flick could put Kimmich in the midfield which would open up the RB spot.

    a real shame because in my estimation hypothetically making the squad was enough to hypothetically earn him a hypothetical national team callup

    Richards didn't make the first team squad

    Back line did wound up being
    Davies Alaba Martinez Pavard

    Playing Davies probably kept Richards off the team for the moment. Bayern can't play two teen North Americans at the same time. It's either or and Davies is ahead of Richards in experience.

    The north America rule could play a part

    But Davies is actually a part of the first team and has been getting more and more time

    If he's just behind whoever is 3rd after Alaba and Martinez-- two world class players-- and Pavard/Davies at fullback-- a World Cup winner on one side and one of the biggest young phenoms in the game on the other-- I'm ok with that

    Went the distance today with Bayern Munich II in 2-1 home win.

    Soccerway had him as the right sided center-back in a back 3.

    Lukas Mai also started, with the 33 year old vet filling out the backline.

    Pretty encouraging stuff for Bayern II.

    All touches for defenders can be deceiving, but man I like watching him play.

    He does a really good job of marking his man instead of ball watching. Pretty composed out of the back, etc.

    Kid looks pretty fluid back there. Some really nice moves.... although he should have hit that header in the 1st half on target. Thanks for posting. Wish I could find something similar for Uly Llanez.

    Breaking into the1st team at Bayern is very difficult, so maybe next season he can get loaned and see 1st team action.
