BERLIN (AP) — Bayern Munich’s problems are mounting after its worst start to the Bundesliga in nine years.Saturday’s 2-2 draw at struggling Augsburg followed a 2-1 loss at home to Hoffenheim and ensured that Niko Kovac’s team has dropped points in half of its league games so far.Asked if Bayern was sliding into another Autumn-crisis following a similarly weak stint last year, captain Manuel Neuer bluntly replied, “I hope not.”But the signs aren’t good.Defensive pillar Niklas Süle has been ruled out for months with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, forward Thomas Müller is unhappy with his reserve role since Philippe Coutinho arrived, and there are questions over the team’s mental strength after just four wins from eight Bundesliga games.“You’re going to look at the points total from last year and draw conclusions. You’re entitled to do that www.thetopsoccer.com/croatia ,” said Kovac, who endured a crisis of four competitive games without a win around the same time last season.Bayern’s 15 points is the team’s worst mark at this stage since Louis van Gaal was in charge in 2010.

It was the sixth consecutive game in which Kovac started with Coutinho instead of Müller.“We live in a competitive society,” Kovac said.This time last year, Rummenigge and club president Uli Hoeneß attacked the media for “derogatory, slanderous reporting” and threatened to take legal action if unfavorable coverage of the team’s struggles continued.Kovac managed to turn the side’s fortunes around and eventually led it to a record-extending seventh straight Bundesliga title, as well as a German Cup victory in Berlin.This year Cheap England Soccer Shirts , Kovac has been charged with doing better in the Champions League, where his side has already delivered a statement with a 7-2 rout of Tottenham. Bayern next visits Olympiakos on Wednesday, then it returns to Bundesliga action against visiting Union Berlin on Saturday.Despite its lackluster start, Bayern is just behind leader Borussia Mönchengladbach at the top of the Bundesliga.“We’re one point behind first place. Do you want to talk us into a crisis?” Hoeneß said on Monday. “I’m satisfied with everything but our goal tally.”LEIPZIG STRUGGLINGLeipzig, which had ambitions of challenging Bayern for the league title this season, is also struggling.Julian Nagelsmann’s side has not won any of its last four competitive games Cheap France Soccer Jerseys , leading to criticism from chairman Oliver Mintzlaff after Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Wolfsburg.“It feels like a defeat. Five points from the last four home games is too little, two points from the last two Bundesliga games, too. We can do better,” Mintzlaff said.Leipzig next hosts Zenit St. Petersburg in the Champions League on Wednesday.
