They were far too predictable too, far too rigid.
There was far more fluidity in the second half.
Although for Palmer, this is not good because to put him wide on the right doesn't suit him.
He clearly doesn't like it there.
The ball never comes to him.
There's something to fix there.
But for the rest, there was far more fluidity in that first half where they were far too predictable.
It's interesting, isn't it?
Because there's the defeat, obviously, last week in the derby against Augsburg, where they were very good in the second half.
And then, as we said, I think we were together with Stevie on the show last week as well, on Saturday.
And we said they just stopped playing.
They took it for granted that they were going to win that derby and that game.
And Augsburg came back in the second half and took the chances well and put a lot of intensity.
And I thought this afternoon was...
The same Hamburg were really intense and went for it, and Bayern were far too open defensively, far too exposed, almost like if they thought, we don't really need to defend, it's only Hamburg, even away from home, they're not that good, and they're not that good, Hamburg.
We know that they're going to fight not to go down, back down after just coming up last summer.
And I think they took it for granted after the Luis Diaz goal and it's just not good enough.
Again, Pavlovic, Kimmich in that midfield were at times overrun.
Neuer came back and had to make a couple of really good saves as well to not concede more.
When we saw earlier the stats and the expected goals, it's 2.3 expected goals against Bayern Munich.
