This is the worst squad management in a game I have ever seen in my life as a Bayern fan. 17 odd years of watching this team and I have never seen a game where we made 0 subs. And for that to have happened with our low depth, our injuries, and it being right after the break… I am actually dumbfounded, fucking speechless.
I am a very vocal and firm believer that a coach must always be given time to grow his team and we must stop being reactionary… but this is not even up for debate, it’s beyond shambolic, beyond disgraceful. He saw the team run on absolutely empty with the risk of injury going higher with each minute they were on the pitch; he had absolute quality to come on against FUCKING KÖLN, and he chose to bring on nobody.
I have never been this stunned by a coaching decision in my life, and I’ve gone through coaches that were legitimately fucking atrocious like Klinsmann.
Van Gaal also once won a game without brining in any subs:

Yes, I came across that. The match didn’t strike my memory. Regardless, the reason why this is far more noticeable/egregious is because of the fact that our thin squad already has suffered various injuries, and the manager had just spoken prior to the game all the concerns facing the squad with regards to fatigue/injury as they were coming back from international duty.
