We need him - and Müller back on the pitch as soon as possible. Since Tuchel is Bayern coach he played 716 minutes in which we scored 20 goals and had 9 against. And he was out 454 minutes in which we scored 2 goals and had 11 against.
Musiala is fine - but he is great next to Müller on a left 10/wing as he has far more freedom when Müller is on the pitch. He has more shots, wins more dribblings, has more key passes etc.
Müller was never 100% fit in 2023 but still had the most goals and assists of the team in 2023 even with less minutes.
Müller right now is 100% fit (a reporter asked him today) - but he sure needs matches.
They sold 3 big players for a lot of money but had extensive recruitment including :
- Openda, the striker of RC Lens, out an excellent season.
- Lukeba CB from OLyon, rated by the fans.
- Xavi Simons on loan from PSG, best player or PSV last year.
- Bitshiabu, a promising CB prospect from PSG
And a couple other notable transfers.
I think they covered all the positions they lost players in with good potential.
