the basic problem is that Bayern have no one on offense who likes playing in the center of the pitch. As good as Ribery and Robben are, they're wingers not playmakers. Schweinsteiger also prefers to be near the sidelines, and van Bommel is a classic stopper, not a precision passer. Their strikers are all center forwards who need to be near the goal to be effective. So there's essentially a vacuum at the very heart of field.
Maybe I don't understand football, but I can't for the life of me understand how a team like Bayern, with the quality of players they have, is playing so poorly. Todays Champions League loss was embarassing.
